The Life of And podcast is for high-achieving women and working parents who are ready to stop living a life of “have to” and start designing a life they actually want. It’s a space where we talk honestly about the things we’re often afraid to admit — even to ourselves. The exhaustion. The ambition. The loneliness. The joy. The tension of wanting more without losing yourself in the process. If you’re in the thick of it — feeling stretched, tired, hopeful, driven — this is your invitation to take a breath, get real, and find your way back to your own Life of And.

    Submit Your Money Confession Question to Win a Pair of Sneex: https://www.tiffanysauder.com/giveaway What if the real issue isn’t that you don’t know who you are, but that you’re too attached to what you’ve always been? In this episode of Life of And, Tiffany sits down with leadership coach Brian Kavicky to talk about the challenges of redefining your identity when major roles in your life shift. Whether your children are leaving home, your career is evolving, or you're navigating a quiet season, Brian and Tiffany unpack how your identity can become tangled with your roles, and how this creates a sense of loss when those roles change. Tiffany shares her own experiences of grappling with this shift, including the moment she realized she had defined herself by the roles she played, not by who she truly was. Together, they discuss the importance of self-trust and how it’s often tested when life becomes quieter, and the roles that once defined you no longer hold the same weight. They also explore the subtle power of separating your identity from your responsibilities, and how this can be the key to personal reinvention. You’ll walk away with a framework to: Disconnect your self-worth from your rolesCultivate self-trust during transitionsBegin defining who you are outside of your responsibilitiesFind peace and clarity in seasons of change Wish you could talk it out with BK?

    Submit Your Money Confession Question to Win a Pair of Sneex: https://www.tiffanysauder.com/giveaway What if the gap in your financial security isn’t your income or your discipline, but the fact that nobody ever taught you to speak money with confidence?

    301: Overwhelm + Decision Fatigue: The Self-Trust Reset

    Submit Your Money Confession Question to Win a Pair of Sneex: https://www.tiffanysauder.com/giveaway What if the real problem isn’t that you don’t know what to do, but it’s that you’re too depleted to trust what you already know? In this episode of Life of And, Tiffany sits down with longtime mentor and monthly conversation partner Brian Kavicky of Lushin to unpack decision fatigue and the sneaky way it chips away at self-trust for high-performing women carrying a heavy load. Tiffany shares two vulnerable stories from a season where life felt like too much: realizing her marriage wasn’t what she’d been pretending it was, and a holiday moment where overwhelm pushed her into making an irrational “middle-of-the-night Christmas lights” decision. Together, Tiffany and Brian name what’s really happening in these seasons: the tyranny of the urgent, the “racket” of overwhelm that can reward overfunctioning, and the avoidance loop that keeps big decisions buried under small tasks. Brian reframes self-trust as what happens after a decision: the ability to stand by your choice without rewriting it the moment discomfort or pushback shows up. They also talk through how feedback loops can train leaders to doubt themselves, and why this struggle is often a sign you’re a high-capacity performer, not someone who’s failing. You’ll walk away with a framework to: Recognize the early indicators that you’re slipping into overwhelmSeparate urgent noise from what actually mattersBorrow objectivity when your brain can’t sequence next stepsProtect your decisions from pushback-driven second-guessing Wish you could talk it out with BK?

    Submit Your Money Confession Question to Win a Pair of Sneex: https://www.tiffanysauder.com/giveaway As we get into 2026, Tiffany reflects on how often we look at things from afar, whether it’s a dream career, a healthy lifestyle, or personal growth, and think, “I like how it looks, but I’m scared to do it.” In this episode of Life of And, Tiffany explores how fear and self-doubt can prevent us from achieving our goals, and why it’s important to move past these mental barriers. Through a powerful story involving her youngest daughter learning to ride a bike, Tiffany shares insights on how we often face the same threshold moments in life. She explains how we need to trust the process, push through fear, and take that first step, even when we are not sure of the outcome. She also touches on how to regain momentum when you feel like you are stuck in a cycle of inaction and how prioritizing our goals can be the key to breaking free from it.

    298: Why Bold Ideas Attract Doubt—and How Strong Leaders Decide Anyway

    Submit Your Money Confession Question to Win a Pair of Sneex: https://www.tiffanysauder.com/giveaway What if the thing holding you back isn’t clarity, confidence, or capability, but whether you trust yourself enough to decide? In this episode of Life of And, Tiffany sits down with longtime mentor and monthly conversation partner Brian Kavicky of Lushin to explore the quiet moment where bold vision often stalls: the moment of decision. It’s the space between knowing what you want and choosing it. When certainty fades, the stakes feel real, and your choice may affect others. Tiffany reflects on stepping away from a role she had mastered and what it’s been like to rebuild belief while leading something new without guaranteed outcomes. Together, Tiffany and Brian examine why capable, high-performing leaders hesitate even when the vision is clear. They discuss how outside feedback and “reasonable” caution can erode self-trust, and why waiting for proof keeps leaders stuck in incremental thinking. Brian offers a different path: decide first, trust your history, and stay committed even when discomfort and doubt show up. You’ll walk away with a framework to: Recognize when you’re outsourcing belief instead of owning itSeparate helpful data from fear-based feedbackDecide before the path is fully visibleStay committed when growth creates friction for you and others Wish you could talk it out with BK?
