  Ep 51: Sober…Now What? Rebuilding a Life You Actually Want with Lexie

  Sep 25, 202650 minS2

  Send us Fan Mail What happens after you get sober? There can come a point in sobriety when you realize: I’m not who I used to be…but I’m not yet who I want to become. You don’t just want to be someone who doesn’t drink. You want joy. Peace. Confidence. New goals. Connection. You want to trust yourself again—and build a life that actually feels good to live. In Episode 51 of Rewired , Tiffany sits down with sobriety coach Lexie for a conversation about the part of sobriety we may not talk about enough: what comes next. Together, they explore rebuilding self-trust, navigating identity after alcohol, moving beyond simply giving something up, and discovering what you want to create in its place. Because sobriety can be about more than removing alcohol from your life. It can be about building a life you don’t need to escape from.

  Ep 50: Where Is Your Power?

  Sep 18, 202629 minS2

  Send us Fan Mail What’s taking up mental or emotional energy for you right now? A decision you’re waiting on. Someone else’s behavior. An uncertain outcome. Something happening at work. A relationship you can’t quite figure out. A future you wish you could make just a little more certain. Now ask yourself: How much of that situation is actually within your control? In Episode 50 of Rewired, Tiffany explores the powerful difference between control and agency —and why reclaiming your power doesn’t mean pretending you can control everything. Drawing from neuroscience and psychology, including research on locus of control, perceived control, stress, and learned helplessness, Tiffany explores a different question: Given what is true right now, where do I still have choice and influence? Because agency isn’t having control over everything. Agency is recognizing the power that remains available to you. In this episode, you’ll learn a simple four-step practice for shifting your attention away from what you can’t control and toward the choices that are actually yours: 1. NOTICE — Where is my attention currently going? 2. REGULATE — Pause before trying to solve the whole problem. Remind yourself: For this moment, I don’t have to make the outcome certain. 3. SHIFT TOWARD AGENCY — Ask: What is one next move that is completely available to me? 4. RELEASE SOMETHING ON PURPOSE — Identify what isn’t yours to control, allow it to remain uncertain, and intentionally redirect your attention and energy toward what is yours to choose. Sometimes agency means taking action. Sometimes it means waiting. Sometimes it means asking for help, setting a boundary, saying no, resting, or admitting, I don’t know yet. The goal isn’t to control the outcome. It’s to recognize the power you still have within it. Ready to deepen your coaching skills?

  Ep 47: The Brain, Divorce, and Beginning Again: A Conversation with Christin Becker

  Jul 31, 202658 minS1

  Send us Fan Mail What happens when the life you imagined suddenly disappears? For many people, divorce isn't simply the end of a marriage—it's the loss of an identity, a future they thought they were building, and the certainty they once held about life. It can leave us questioning who we are, what comes next, and whether we'll ever feel whole again. In this final episode of Season One , Tiffany sits down with Certified Divorce Coach® Christin Becker for an honest, hope-filled conversation about navigating one of life's most significant transitions. After leaving a 27-year unhealthy marriage, Christin rebuilt her life from the ground up. Today, she helps individuals move through divorce with clarity, confidence, and hope—preparing them not only for legal decisions, but for emotional healing, healthy communication, and the next chapter of their lives. Together, Tiffany and Christin explore: Why divorce impacts far more than a relationship—it reshapes identity. What happens to our thinking and decision-making during times of overwhelming stress. The difference between coaching, therapy, and legal support. The power of boundaries, resilience, and choosing intentional responses over emotional reactions. Christin's BOLD framework: Believe Own Your Story Lean into Discomfort Do the Work Why healing isn't about returning to who you were—it's about becoming who you're meant to be. Whether you're navigating divorce, grief, a health diagnosis, career change, or another unexpected life transition, this conversation is a reminder that your story isn't over. Sometimes our greatest growth begins after life falls apart. As we close out Season One of Rewired , Tiffany also shares what's ahead for the podcast. Season Two launches in September 2026 with more conversations where neuroscience meets real-life change.

  Episode #46

  Ep 46: My Brain and Her Stories: How Identities That Quietly Shape Our Lives

  Jul 25, 202630 minS1

  Send us Fan Mail Have you ever caught yourself thinking... I'm not skilled (or educated, or experienced, or, or, or) enough. I have to keep everyone happy. Who am I to charge that much? This week on Rewired , I'm sharing two very personal stories that reminded me of something we all experience: our brains are incredible storytellers. One story showed up while I was trying to write an email to a PD student. The other surfaced when I was offered a training opportunity that paid far more than I typically charge. On the surface, they seemed like completely different situations. Underneath? They were driven by the same thing: identity. Together, we'll explore why the brain clings to familiar beliefs about who we are, why growth often feels uncomfortable, and how the stories we've carried for years can quietly influence our decisions, relationships, leadership, and confidence. One insight that spoke loudest to me: "The people who keep growing aren't the ones with the fewest limiting beliefs. They're the ones who notice them sooner." What if growth isn't about eliminating every limiting belief? What if it's about recognizing the stories your brain is telling—and choosing which ones deserve to keep the microphone? As we begin closing out Season One of Rewired , this conversation feels especially meaningful to me. Every episode this season has explored the incredible ways our brains shape our lives. This one turns the lens inward and reminds us that growth isn't about becoming someone else—it's about becoming more aware of the stories we've been carrying all along. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why your brain creates stories about who you are • How identity shapes confidence, boundaries, and decision-making • Why discomfort is often a sign of growth—not failure • A simple question to help you uncover the stories that may be holding you back • How greater awareness leads to lasting change If this episode resonates with you, I'd love to hear from you. Share it with a friend, leave a review, or connect with me on LinkedIn. And this week, I invite you to ask yourself one simple question: What story has my brain been telling me...and is it still true? Until next time... Keep rewiring.

  Ep 45: Raising the Next Generation of Women Leaders: A conversation with Sarah Jakle

  Jul 17, 202656 minS1

  Send us Fan Mail What if leadership isn't something you're born with—but something your brain can learn? In this inspiring episode of Rewired , Tiffany sits down with Sarah Jakle , Founder and Executive Director of DemocraShe , a national nonprofit preparing historically underserved high school girls to become future leaders, voters, advocates, and elected officials. But this conversation goes far beyond politics. Together, Tiffany and Sarah explore what neuroscience teaches us about courage, confidence, belonging, and why so many capable people hesitate to raise their hands—even when they have something meaningful to offer. Sarah shares how DemocraShe combines evidence-based brain science, resilience practices, and leadership development to help young women move beyond self-doubt and into purposeful action. One of the most powerful ideas from this conversation is the practice of developing your "Inner Best Friend" —the compassionate inner voice that encourages growth instead of reinforcing criticism. Whether you're leading a team, raising children, advocating for your community, or simply trying to become more courageous in your own life, this episode offers practical wisdom for rewiring the way you think about leadership. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why courage comes before confidence—not the other way around. • How neuroscience explains our fear of visibility and leadership. • The difference between your Inner Critic and your Inner Best Friend. • Why leadership is a practice, not a personality trait. • How small, intentional acts of courage literally reshape the brain. • What gives Sarah hope for the next generation of leaders. As Sarah reminds us, leadership isn't reserved for a select few. It begins the moment we believe our voice matters.
