    From Passive Listening to Massive Action: How Tiffany Berland Transformed Her Life & Business

    Are you consuming podcast after podcast, waiting for the “aha” moment that finally gets you into gear—but still stuck in place? Tiffany Berland was, too. Until one summer when she decided enough was enough. Despite juggling a chaotic home life, running an interior design business, and raising three kids, Tiffany took a chance on herself.

In this episode of She Thinks Big, Tiffany opens up about her journey from information overload to taking real, aligned action. She shares the mindset shifts, support, and tools that helped her navigate a turbulent season in life and business, and how she finally started creating what she truly wanted. Andrea and Tiffany unpack what it really looks like to take meaningful action (even during hard seasons), the tools that helped her stay focused, and the one game-changing question Tiffany still asks herself daily. 2:33 – How Tiffany and Andrea connected (and the summer that changed everything) 5:45 – The realization that shifted Tiffany from passive listener to action-taker 10:48 – What taking the first step actually looked like in a chaotic season 13:59 – Why hiring a coach outside her industry made the biggest impact 19:59 – The tools that helped Tiffany clarify her vision and discover her big dream 29:21 – Why she stayed stuck in “gathering mode” and what finally moved her out 33:19 – What surprised her about group coaching (and why she almost said no) 36:22 – One action you can take today to move from stuck to forward Mentioned In From Passive Listening to Massive Action: How Tiffany Berland Transformed Her Life & Business Blue Opus Interiors | Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn  Get the She Thinks Big book Full Focus Store Vision Into Action Intensive Andrea’s Links | Subscribe to Andrea’s newsletter Andrea on LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook You don't need is another endless list of ideas or tools or generic advice, what you do need is personalized clarity.
