The Stay True Podcast with Dr. Tiffany Johnson

After spending a week at a conference in Denver that felt like Burning Man meets business for women , I came back changed—sequins, leopard print, monk robes, and all. I went in stretched to my limits, from packing last-minute Amazon deliveries and experimenting with blue mascara, to walking into rooms alone where I’d never felt so out of place—or so alive.

In this episode, I dive into the tension between survival and healing—the part of the journey no one warns you about. For many of us, the traits that once protected us—the grit, control, independence, or sharp edges—are the same ones we later try to erase when we step into growth. But what if those edges aren’t flaws to fix? What if they’re proof of what we’ve survived—and the foundation for what’...

I’ve spent much of my life wondering if I was “holding up my end of the deal” when it came to running a house. Truth? I’m not the best homemaker, and I’ve carried plenty of guilt and comparison around that. But here’s the shift: my life’s work isn’t about spotless floors or perfectly folded laundry—it’s about creating, leading, and living in alignment. And alignment is messy. It’s not always what...

Most people run from overwhelm. I’ve learned to run toward it. In this episode, I’m unpacking why chaos, conflict, and exhaustion aren’t signs you’re failing—they’re proof you’re evolving. Overwhelm is what happens when you outgrow your old life and step into something bigger. It’s the fast-track to clarity, creativity, and courage—if you let it be. I’m talking about: Why I secretly loved failure...

I’ve always wanted the ball with 3 seconds left. Not for the spotlight. Not to prove anything. But because I know who I am when everything’s on the line. Give me the pressure. Give me the risk. I’ll take the shot, miss or make. Because I’ve trained for it. Not just on the court—but in life, in business, in motherhood, in love. Most people say they want to win, but they avoid the moment it actually...

It's a firestarter for the part of you that keeps stalling until the crowd shows up. I unpack how we’ve tied our worth—and our next brave move—to who’s watching, who’s approving, and who’s throwing a damn party for us. And it’s keeping us small. I share t...

I didn’t check boxes—I set fire to them. In this episode, I’m calling out the old narr...
