À propos de cet audio

The Life of And podcast is for high-achieving women and working parents who are ready to stop living a life of “have to” and start designing a life they actually want. It’s a space where we talk honestly about the things we’re often afraid to admit — even to ourselves. The exhaustion. The ambition. The loneliness. The joy. The tension of wanting more without losing yourself in the process. If you’re in the thick of it — feeling stretched, tired, hopeful, driven — this is your invitation to take a breath, get real, and find your way back to your own Life of And.© 2025 Tiffany Sauder, IBJ Media Gestion et leadership Sciences sociales Économie

  • 274: Pickleball Probs, Summer Updates, & One Wild Thai Massage
    Jul 10 2025

    In this episode of Life of And, Tiffany gets real about what it looks like to hit pause mid-summer and reflect on what’s working, what’s not, and how to move forward with more intention (and a lot less pressure).

    Fresh off a 20-year anniversary trip to Europe, she shares candid takeaways on marriage, personal growth, and what happens when your dream renovation turns into a reality check. Tiffany opens up about emotional missteps, communication gaps, and how taking space helped her and JR reconnect in a whole new way.

    She’s grading her summer goals (spoiler: the pickleball plan is a fail), leaning into slower rhythms, and talking honestly about what it means to show up for your family—even when the house is sticky and the schedule’s a mess.

    If you’re behind on your summer intentions or just need permission to course-correct, this one’s for you.

    What You’ll Learn:

    • Why slowing down can actually improve your relationships
    • What Tiffany learned in Europe about being fully present
    • How to handle mismatched expectations with your partner

  • 273: Is This Sustainable? A Conversation on Ambition, Identity & Doing Life Differently
    Jul 3 2025

    Leaving a stable career to start your own business? Terrifying. Doing it while raising kids, managing a household, and trying to keep your sanity? Even scarier.

    Anita Tulsiani and Helena Kelly, co-founders of Sagely & Co., know that struggle first hand. They left corporate jobs, took a leap into entrepreneurship, and redefined what success looks like—on their terms. In this episode, they open up about:

    • How they tested their partnership before officially going all in
    • The financial realities of leaving a steady paycheck for business ownership
    • Why work-life balance isn’t about doing it all—it’s about doing what actually matters
    • How they overcame fear, uncertainty, and the pressure to “prove” themselves

    If you’re feeling stuck in a job that no longer fits—or just wondering if you can really have both ambition and family—this episode is for you.
