Rock Your Kindness highlights extraordinary stories of everyday people experiencing life-changing kindness. Whether it's a random act, saves a life, or helps you be kinder to yourself, these stories will increase empathy, compassion, and hope. You never know how your kindness can change the trajectory of your life or the life of another.

Rock Your Kindness is hosted by Tracey Ferrin. Tracey is a mother, wife, best-selling author, and TikTok superstar. She is often called a "breath of fresh air" by those who know and meet her. She is a mom of 4 and has been married to the love of her life for 18 years. Together, they call Texas home.

In this episode, Tracey and Tiffany discuss the attempts of suicide Tiffany went through and ultimately what lead her to pursue a life of helping others who were struggling with mental health and suicidal thoughts. Tiffany discusses some of the issues within the mental health field, and why some choose to stay silent vs. asking for help when they most need it. Tiffany created a nonprofit organization called Signed, With Love to help prevent suicide.
