Jessica and I talk about our own experiences with toxic friends, as well as people we know who have had experiences. We talk about the concept of a "girls girl" and when it is better to confront someone who has wronged you, or when you should walk away. We had a lot of fun with this one and we hope to help other women realize who is real and who is fake in their lives. At our age there is no time for fake. Jessica and I relate this topic back to mindset and how it is important to take care of yourself and know your worth, even when it comes to friendships. We talk about your inner circle and who are the right people to keep close to you. Thank you Jessica for being on Tiff's Tales! Stay tuned for a part 2 of this episode!!! AND Happy Birthday Jessica!!!!

Tiffany begins to talk about some injuries she has, how they happened and what she has done to be proactive that they will not happen again.

She goes on to talk about her fixed mindset vs. growth mindset and how she is stuck in a spiral of negative self talk. Listen to some ways she is changing her mental attitude and her life!
