In this episode of Relatable Wisdom, I sat down with Tiffany Carson—an author, mental health advocate, and host of Hard Beautiful Journey—to explore the mantra that’s carried her through life’s toughest storms: “A heart once reduced to ashes can rise again. Full, beautiful, and healed, stronger for the fire it endured.” Tiffany’s journey has been anything but easy: from a decade-long battle with infertility, navigating her children’s diagnoses, deep struggles with mental health, devastating loss, and major life changes. Through raw vulnerability, she shares how she turned her pain into purpose, learning to breathe through the hardest moments and finding gratitude even in the darkness. Tiffany’s wisdom isn’t just hard-earned—she’s lived it, and now inspires listeners to believe in their own resilience. Whether you’re in the depths of your own roller coaster or searching for hope, her story will remind you that healing and joy truly can rise from the ashes.
