In this inspiring episode of The Next Big Flip, LaJuan Diggs sits down with Tiana Wavelet — a proud boy mom, thrift addict, and rising reselling star — whose journey into flipping began with a desire to stay close to her son during autism therapy sessions. What started as a simple side hustle turned into a life-changing venture. Tiana shares how she balances parenting and profit, why eBay is still the #1 reselling platform, and what she’s learned about sell-through rates, vintage treasures, and finding weird items that actually sell.

Whether you're new to flipping or looking to scale, Tiana's story is a refreshing reminder that your “next big flip” doesn’t have to be your most profitable — just the one that matters most right now.

What you'll learn:

• How Tiana turned thrifting into a flexible income stream

• Her favorite places to source items (hint: flea markets and estate sales)

• Why she believes there's enough success to go around

• The one flipping metric every beginner should know: sell-through rate

• How reselling gave her the freedom to parent with presence and plan a dream trip to Tokyo
