In this episode of Life of And, Tiffany sits down with therapist, author, and podcaster Danielle Ireland for a conversation about growth, discomfort, and agency. Danielle shares how confidence is earned in hindsight by moving through what feels hard, plus the mindset shifts that help us tell the difference between being tired on a Wednesday and being out of alignment at a soul level. They explore the traps of external validation and people-pleasing, and how choosing values over ego can look like “editing” your life with truth and kindness.

Tiffany and Danielle also talk about parenting for resilience (letting kids cross the threshold of discomfort), journaling as directed self-dialogue, what it means to be a “pollinator” versus a “jackhammer” in career seasons, setting boundaries without abandoning yourself, and simple ways to create community so growth doesn’t have to feel lonely.
