MACE shares how she went from a shy student to one of the few women to fly for the Thunderbirds, and how the pressure, competitiveness, and early failures of fighter aviation forced her to confront impostor syndrome and rebuild confidence from the ground up.
Nada and MACE explore how separating your inner critic from your true identity, taking small bold choices, and acting before you feel ready can completely shift your trajectory. You will learn why soft skills drive long term success, what it takes to move through fear, and how purpose guided MACE’s leap from the military into entrepreneurship. Her message is simple and powerful. Courage comes first. Confidence is built along the way.

#540 Build a Life You Love | Rise Up For You Podcast Guest Tiffany Sauder
Can You Really Have It All? Ambition, Family, and Peace with Tiffany Sauder | Rise Up For You Podcast
What if success doesn’t require sacrifice? In this episode of the Rise Up For You Podcast, entrepreneur and CEO Tiffany Sauder shares how she built a thriving career, raised four children, and stayed true to herself, without choosing one over the other.
We explore:
• The myth of having to choose between success and personal peace
• What it means to live a “life of and” instead of a life of either-or
• The emotional cost of ambition and how to rewire your mindset
• The real reasons burnout and resentment creep in
• A simple framework to nurture your self, family, and career without neglect
• The grumpy servant, lonely achiever, and fearful loyalist patterns
• Why women must redefine success and set explicit expectations
If you’ve ever felt like you have to pick between your business, family, sanity, and self-care, this conversation will help you rethink what’s possible.
About Our Guest
Tiffany Sauder is a successful entrepreneur, speaker, CEO, mother of four, and founder of the Life of And movement. After spending years trying to achieve more through hustle and overwork, Tiffany recognized that exhaustion is not a sign of success, it’s a sign of misalignment. Through her own experiences building a marketing agency, raising a family, and mentoring high-achieving women, she developed the Life of And framework to help others create a life where ambition and personal peace can coexist. Today, Tiffany empowers others to move from “have to” to “want to” and build a life that aligns with both values and vision.
