Hey Everyone, It's Tiff

Hey Cherries! If you know me, you know I give a lot of fucks. Arguably all the fucks, and it's dimmed my shine and taken me down most of my life. As an adult, my greatest feats have been getting off my own back, allowing myself to take up space, and moving on from the things that have hurt me. 

I'm by no means "done" with these tasks, and I will never be. I see it all as an ongoing process, rather than something that can be neatly checked off a list (unfortunately). 

What I can say, is that I genuinely feel a shift in my soul toward authentic and unconditional self love. I don't know if it's the natural passing of time, turning 30 soon, or the years of therapy I've engaged in, but thank goodness, because I can't stand shitting all over myself. I can't exist like that anymore.

Gabe talks to me about all of these meta and existential things this week, and it's wonderful to see how our opposite personalities collide in synchronicity. 

On a lighter note, our wedding voicemails were returned and it was some of the best $ we spent throughout the entire process, hands down. They aren't a sponsor I'm just real jazzed about it :)

You'll hear why!

This week is fire if I do say so myself. So good you may find yourself shushing the people around you, because it's so juicy you can't risk missing a second. The wild ride includes:

• Live entertainment from our wedding
• Things that Bug Gabe
• A fierce Elvis impression
• None for you, Gretchen Wieners
• The Butterfly Effect
• Adjusting to the ramp up in his firefighting career
• Thoughts on confidence
• How we compromise in our marriage

This week we have on the enchanting Elana, my new sister. I've thoroughly enjoyed cultivating our relationship over the last few years, and love her oh so much. Anyone who knows her will tell you what a light she is to be around, and that her smile is absolutely infectious. No doubt she will help so many with her work in the OT field, and I am so grateful to witness her journey <3

Tune in for our fun convo about all the things I have been dying to ask her, including:

• What it's like being the only other sibling to twins
• Competing as a gymnast for 13 years 
• The injury that changed everything
• Fate quite literally leading her to become a personal trainer
• Earning her Master's degree in Occupational Therapy and the path to licensure
• The Elana and Phillip love story: A true embodiment of the phrase, "if you want something, go for it"
• What she does when she's alone
• Thoughts on my bachelorette party in Nash
• Why for her, sleep = life

Cherries for life!

Today marks a significant event in this pod's history, the day we made it to 50 episodes. That might not sound like a lot, but when I calculate all the time they each take to create, we are talking a significant portion of my life over the last year.

I am happy to report that I'm proud of every single show I've produced, and believe they are all something positive I've put out into the world. That's incredibly fulfilling to remember and good enough for me. 

I want to sincerely thank each and every person who has taken the time to listen to any part of my show. To hold your ears and hearts, even if only for a moment, is a privilege and an honor that I do not take lightly. I appreciate you spending some of your time with me each week, and helping me build a community that genuinely feels good to be apart of. I think the best may be even yet to come!

This week you'll hear:

• How I've stuck with it when I've wanted to quit
• A song mashup of every banger I've dropped
• Why married life is FINE
• The debut of a brand new song: "Ridin' In My 50's"
• A bedtime story that turns erotic
• My thoughts and frustrations around self promotion
• Tea I had yet to spill...

My family is a hoot. You know this because they are the source of yours truly. This week we have the pleasure of getting to know them even further, as I interview both my Mom, Marie and Step-Father, Kent.

We initially hear from my Mom, in our first ever "Who Did You Kiss Today?" segment. If that title entices you - it should! Listen to the ep to find out exactly what that means...Muah!

We then talk to Kent, who shares with us some of the many adventures that make him the cool guy he is today! He's lived through some of the most salient moments in our nation's history, and it was wild to reflect with him on how vastly things have changed in such a short amount of time. 

There are so many important lessons one can take away from his story, which is a beautiful blend of cheeky and heartfelt. Tune in for:

• Finding drive in retirement
• What it's like to cultivate a 40 year career in the fire service
• Being a young person in the 50s-70s
• Selling a home at 15 years old
• Traveling the world in the Navy 
• Seeing society change before his eyes
• His take on how I've evolved over the years
• A bonding over the terror that is working in a middle school
• The unexpected question he's always wanted to ask me

Now go give your homies a smooch! #IYKYK

To know her is to love her, and I'm so glad I do. In her latest debut since Season 1, we welcome back the one and only Franchesca this week!

SHE HAS RETURNED! And she's busier than ever. Planning a wedding on top of life in general is no joke, and not only is she knee-deep in executing her own, but Franny also officiated our wedding just a couple of weeks ago. I gave her free-rein on what she put together, and my goodness, it couldn't have been more special. She's really got the vibes. The best part was her highlighting and honoring of our sweet Penny Jane. Full deets that you won't want to miss in the episode, trust me. 

I consider this episode a "Part 2" to last week, as we head even further BTS into Franny's journey as the official officiant of our nuptials. Listen to our entertaining chat about:

• How she feels about people calling her Franny these days
• Why no instructions can = more pressure
• Penny's appearance at the wedding
• Being okay with nontraditional
• Supporting me during a meltdown
• Bride burnout
• Marrying your opposite
• Balancing life amidst chaos
• Buying our first homes
• Where Franny gets her interior eye
• Why we should have a reality show 

Thank you to her for being so open with us!

In this ep I also discuss dropping the official music video for the Cup of Tiff segment, as well as finally getting my tattoo in honor of P. 

GO HIT PLAY!

The process of recording this episode stressed me out, because I was worried I wouldn't find the right words to describe it all. But I had to let that go, because I realized you can't put magic into words. So I did my very best, and that's good enough.

What a journey it all was - lots of love and loss along the way, but it all ultimately led us to the best day of our lives!

In this week's episode, I talk all things leading up to our big day, including but not limited to:

•  Why we canceled our big wedding
•   "Baching" that ass up in Nashville
•   The time of my life on a @bigdragbus
•    Details behind my wedding look
•    Live recordings from both Gabe and I leading up to 5 min before walking down the aisle
•    My #1 tip to brides everywhere
•    Creating our surprise dance in honor of Penny
•    Gabe - the Dancing King to my Queen
•    Falling asleep at my own afterparty
•    How I sometimes punish myself for taking up space

And, the pod celebrated it's first birthday on 5/18! What fun times we've had together this year, SO excited for what's to come. HBD lil bb :)

LOVE YA'LL! Gabe out.

In my humble opinion, this segment keeps getting better and better! Thank you for coming in hot with the Q's for the 5th installment of the "Get to know Me" series.

This week I discuss some more things that have made me, me. It's a wild ride and we make lots of fun stops, including:

• The most awkward thing that has happened to me during sex
• Things I do to protect my peace 
• Why being mindful of how I spend my "energy dollars" is important
• A reading of a sultry poem & a mediocre attempt at ASMR
• If I fart in front of Gabe
• Why I'm tired of being asked if/when I'm having kids
• Who I was in high school

Please don't forget about my 2 week break coming up so I can attend my Bachelorette party and get hitched!

I will be gone on 5/13 & 5/20, and will return 5/27. Thank you for your support my loves!
