This Morning with Tiff Potter

Happy Friday! Today we're checking the voicemail because you had some thoughts, stories, and opinions to share—and honestly, this might be my favorite kind of episode. From funny moments to thoughtful perspectives, we're diving into your voice notes and continuing conversations that started earlier this week. This episode isn't just about what's on my mind—it's about what's...

Today's conversation starts with a question that sounds simple: If you could have any superpower, what would it be? Turns out, the answers say a lot about who we are. We talk about the powers we'd choose, the ones we definitely wouldn't, and somewhere in the middle, my ADHD brain does what it does best—I completely forget the point I was trying to make. But this episode isn't reall...

Today's episode is a little different—we're on video! And because my new job is finally public, I wanted to pull back the curtain and share the story of how it all happened. From the first conversation to the interviews, the waiting, the uncertainty, and the moments where I genuinely had no idea what was next, I walk you through how this opportunity came together. But this episode isn'...

Today's episode is less of a show and more of a voice note. I just wanted to check in. My team lost last night, I'm still settling into this new chapter of life, and I wanted to say thank you for giving me a little grace while I figure out what this season looks like. Transitions are funny. Even when they're exciting, they still ask something of you. I'm finding my rhythm, getting...

Episode Summary Well... it actually happened. After weeks of rumors, speculation, and me insisting there was no way someone would get married over Fourth of July weekend... here we are. Today's episode is my official debrief. I explain why I still stand by my opinion that getting married over one of the biggest holiday weekends of the year is... a choice. We talk about why the internet became...

Happy Fourth of July! Today's episode was all about one of the best parts of the holiday: the food. We debated the unofficial Top 5 Fourth of July foods—the dishes that absolutely have to make an appearance if you're celebrating. There were a few obvious choices, a few controversial ones, and at least one food that probably deserved more respect than it gets. As always, it wasn't just...

Today's episode started with a question that somehow turned into a full-blown debate: Is July 3rd basically the Fourth of July? Because in my mind, the 3rd, 4th, and 5th are all part of the same holiday weekend. Apparently... not everyone agrees. We'll revisit that conversation, because I have more thoughts. Then I shared a moment from last night that genuinely rattled me. I realized I&#39...

First things first—if you hear the air conditioner kicking on in the background... no you didn't. We're still living that window-unit life over here, and this apartment has officially entered "it's hotter inside than outside" season. Then we got into a trend that's starting to catch on, and honestly... it might not be the worst idea. More and more young adults are moving...

Today's episode started with a debate I genuinely wasn't prepared to have: Is getting married on the Fourth of July... kind of white trash? The internet had thoughts after rumors started swirling about Taylor Swift potentially choosing Independence Day for her wedding, and naturally, we had to weigh in. We talked about holiday weddings, family traditions, and whether your wedding date says...

Today's episode was all about firsts, friendships, and a conversation that might make you feel a little better about yourself. I debriefed my first time going out for drinks with my new coworkers—navigating the unwritten rules, trying to remember everyone's names, and realizing that making new friends as an adult deserves way more credit than it gets. Then we shifted gears into a topic tha...

Today’s episode was a little summer check-in from both sides of the weather spectrum. Here in Cincinnati, the weather has been gorgeous — the kind that makes you feel like you have to get outside before it changes its mind. Meanwhile, France is dealing with the kind of heat that makes you rethink every outfit, every plan, and possibly your entire personality. We also talked about the World Cup sti...

It's been a few days, so today felt a little like a catch-up session. I checked in on life, work, and the ongoing adjustment to this new schedule and new chapter. I'm still finding my rhythm, still learning, still feeling a little behind some days — but I'm also trying to give myself some grace. Not every transition has to be mastered immediately. We also took a tour around the interne...

Shortest episode to date. More of a voice note really.

Today’s Hard Topic Tuesday came from a listener voice note with a question that feels increasingly common: How do you successfully move back in with your parents as an adult? Not necessarily forever. Not because something went wrong. Just because life is expensive, transitions happen, and sometimes the smartest next step isn't the one you imagined for yourself. We talked about the emotional si...

Today’s episode was a little internet recap, a little wedding reflection, and a little unexpected life question that completely stumped me. We started by debriefing the weekend online — the Knicks win, the stories everyone was talking about, and the things that somehow take over the group chat for 48 hours. Then I shared about my friend’s wedding and a moment I had while I was there. One of those...

Today’s episode started with a statistic that caught me completely off guard: Apparently, 60% of women hide one specific thing from their friends. Naturally, we had to discuss it. We talked about why people keep certain parts of their lives private, the difference between protecting something and hiding it, and whether sharing everything immediately is actually the goal. I also debriefed my first...

Today’s episode had a little bit of everything: basketball, work updates, and a voicemail that caught me completely off guard. We started with the Knicks and the current sports energy taking over the internet, then I shared a few things I’m learning during this first week at the new job. You know that weird phase where you're learning names, systems, expectations, and trying to figure out wher...

Today’s episode was a little bit Cincinnati, a little bit universe conspiracy theory, and a little bit new-job update. We started with Cincinnati landing in the top five for one thing that is going to come in very handy this summer — which turned into a reminder to actually get outside and enjoy it. Then I found myself in one of those weird situations where you start wondering if the universe is t...

Today was the first day at the new job. And honestly? I think I might already be the office weirdo. We debriefed the first-day nerves, the awkwardness of being the new person, and the strange realization that after being out of a traditional full-time job for a while, my brain doesn't seem to operate quite the same way anymore. You know that feeling when everyone else seems to know where they&...

Today’s episode was about building the plane as we fly it. I spent some time talking about this season of life and work, and why I wanted to be honest about something: I don't actually have it all figured out yet. There are some exciting things happening, some new chapters beginning, and some decisions being made in real time. I wasn't even sure if I was going to talk about starting a new...

Today’s episode started with a question a lot of people are quietly asking right now: if money got tight tomorrow, what are the first things you would cut? Not in a panic way. More in a real-life, priorities-reveal-themselves kind of way. We talked about the subscriptions, habits, conveniences, memberships, impulse purchases, and little luxuries that would be the first to go — and the things peopl...

Today’s episode was a little chaotic in the best way because my ADHD/neurodivergent brain definitely caught up with me a few times throughout the conversation… …but we made it. The theme of today’s episode somehow became sex, dopamine, connection, and what people are actually craving right now. We talked about an article I found about how doom scrolling is slowly replacing sex for a lot of people...

Today’s episode was a little bit of everything: We talked about the joy of little free libraries — and how I basically had the emotional equivalent of finding a Gucci bag at a thrift store when I stumbled across the perfect beach read sitting inside one. Then we fully debriefed the family vacation: the weird little things families do that somehow make them lovable and uniquely them , the quiet gra...

We’re back from vacation. (Full debrief tomorrow.) But today’s episode became a conversation about the very specific emotional crash that can happen after a trip — when the dopamine wears off, real life comes back into focus, and suddenly you start questioning everything. Why does post-vacation clarity always arrive with a slight urge to blow up your entire life? We also talked about the emotional...

Today’s episode was about attention spans — which, as a neurodivergent person, feels a little funny for me to be talking about in the first place. But we got into three small things people say genuinely help improve focus, attention, and the ability to stay present in a world that constantly feels like it’s pulling us in 47 directions at once. Not in a “become perfectly productive” way. More in a:...
