Life can be both hard and beautiful -
often at the same time.
Rooted in the 7 Pillars of Healing - from honoring your body to nurturing your soul - this is where we speak the truth about what hurts, and what helps us heal.
I’m Tiff Carson -storyteller, soul-holder, and fierce believer that vulnerability is strength.
I started this podcast because I was tired of pretending I was fine when my heart was falling apart. Grief. Addiction. Divorce. Identity loss. Lost friendships. I’ve walked through all of it. And I wanted a space where we could talk about the hard stuff — without shame, without fixing, just truth.
The one who cries in her car, holds her breath through the day, and wonders if she’ll ever feel like herself again - or remember why she's here.
You won’t get perfect answers here - but you will get honesty, vulnerability, and the reminder that healing is possible...even in the messy middle.
Let's walk this hard, beautiful journey together.
Let's walk this

This show is for the woman who's been strong for too long.
If you're looking for a place to exhale, laugh, cry, and be reminded that you're not broken - you've found it.

Hard Beautiful Journey is all about real people sharing the moments that cracked them open - and the joy, wonder, and unexpected laughter that helped them rise.
Yes, we talk about the hard stuff: grief, loss, addiction, heartbreak, identity loss. But we also celebrate how we got through it. The moments of gratitude. The deep belly laughs. The dance parties. The healing that surprised us.
If you've found yourself crying behind closet doors and laughing in silly glasses, you're exactly who this show was made for.
The show is now rooted in the 7 Pillars of Healing - seven sacred touchpoints that guide us from root to crown: honoring your body, awakening joy, finding your tribe, loving your story, using your voice, seeing your truth, and nurturing your soul.
Your story could be the one someone else needs to hear.
