Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of Life Done Differently.
Today’s episode is all about work like balance – particularly balancing family and work ambitions.
Of course, kids and family aren’t exactly my area of expertise, so I invited a guest who knows much more about this than I do.
I’m joined by Tiffani Higgins, who gave up a corporate accounting career to start her own business because she wanted more time for her kids and family.
We talk about how having kids changed Tiffani’s perspective on how she wanted to live her life, the challenges of balancing kids and a career and the pressure moms are facing these days to do and be it all.
Tiffani shares how she started her own accounting business and how that helped her have more freedom and flexibility in life. We talk about the challenges she had to overcome, how she managed to grow the business and the many lessons Tiffani has learned along the way.
We also talk about the importance of setting boundaries when being self-employs and how challenging this can be. This is a topic that comes up often when I talk to people who are living the nomad dream, so it was interesting to hear Tiffani’s views on that.
For all that and more, listen to my conversation with Tiffani.

EP30 – Computer Scientist Turned World Champion Windsurfer – Sarah Hauser
For this episode, I got the chance to talk to professional athlete Sarah Hauser.
Sarah is the Guinness World Record holder for the Largest Wave Windsurfed, 3x overall winner of the International Windsurfing Tour, 2x Winner of windsurfing's most prestigious contest the Aloha Classic.
She is also a computer scientist by training, a fitness coach, a wife and a philanthropist.
In other words, she is a total bad-ass and I’m super stoked she made time in her busy schedule to have a chat with me.
Sarah says she knew she wanted to be a professional windsurfer since the second she surfer her first wave. But pressure from society and her parent led to her resisting that dream for many years and become a computer scientist instead.
But ultimately, the inner athlete won – and as so often, the good stuff happened after a door Sarah thought she wanted to go through closed right in front of her.
She moved to Hawaii and has been pursuing her windsurfing dreams ever since.
We talk about what it takes to become a professional athlete in a sport that doesn’t offer a lot of official development programmes, nor big payouts. Sarah shares how she succeeded, how she managed the stress of trying to make a living through side-gigs while training, trying to find sponsors and being involved with charity projects and how she tries to find work-life balance.
We also talk about how hypnosis has helped Sarah develop mental strengths, what motivates her to continue to push her body and what it’s like to surf these massive waves.
For all that plus thoughts on the gender gap in sports, tips for how to pursue a career as an athlete and much more, check out my chat with Sarah.
