What does it really mean to know your rights and trust yourself enough to use them?

In this honest and grounding conversation, Shelley and Mary sit down with Attorney Tiffany DeBruin, a criminal defense and family law attorney who knows what it means to stand beside someone in their most vulnerable moments.

Tiffany opens up about her unexpected journey from aspiring prosecutor to building her own defense practice in East Lansing, Michigan. She shares why authenticity is her superpower in the courtroom, how she’s learned to trust herself through trial and error (literally), and what people really need to know when interacting with law enforcement or navigating charges, big or small.

From traffic stops and domestic disputes to the nuances of concealed carry laws and diversion programs, this episode is full of calm clarity. Tiffany helps us remember that legal systems don’t have to feel inaccessible or cold, and that having the right guidance can shift everything.

Whether you’re parenting a college-aged kid, facing something yourself, or just want to walk through the world a little more prepared, this conversation is here to support you.
