In this episode of Life of And, Tiffany gets real about what it looks like to hit pause mid-summer and reflect on what’s working, what’s not, and how to move forward with more intention (and a lot less pressure).
Fresh off a 20-year anniversary trip to Europe, she shares candid takeaways on marriage, personal growth, and what happens when your dream renovation turns into a reality check. Tiffany opens up about emotional missteps, communication gaps, and how taking space helped her and JR reconnect in a whole new way.
She’s grading her summer goals (spoiler: the pickleball plan is a fail), leaning into slower rhythms, and talking honestly about what it means to show up for your family—even when the house is sticky and the schedule’s a mess.
If you’re behind on your summer intentions or just need permission to course-correct, this one’s for you.
