This Morning with Tiff Potter

This morning we get into a Hard Topic Tuesday that a lot of empathetic people might recognize: taking on other people’s problems like they’re our own. When someone we care about is struggling, it’s easy to slide from caring… into carrying. We talk about the subtle ways this shows up in relationships, work, and family — and how many of us quietly pick up emotional weight that was never actually our...

This episode is a little different… and a little more honest than I expected. I went to Bockfest here in Cincinnati — one of those events that reminds you how special this city and its traditions really are. I was excited all day to go, soak it in, and be part of it. But on the drive home, something unexpected happened. I cried. Not because anything went wrong — but because I realized this season...

Have you ever noticed how differently girls and boys communicate? Girls tend to talk things through, replay conversations, and process emotions together. Boys often keep things simple, direct, and a lot less… analyzed. In this episode, Tiff reflects on the funny and fascinating differences between girlhood and boyhood communication — and what those differences reveal about how we connect, process...

Bockfest weekend in Cincinnati always delivers — and this year was no exception. Today we’re debriefing the chaos, the beer, the baby goat yelling competition (yes, that’s a real thing… and also where I accidentally met my boyfriend). It’s proof that sometimes the most random Cincinnati traditions can lead to the most unexpected love stories. We also unpack the new Gen Z word that apparently every...

Today we’re talking about something I’ve gotten pretty comfortable with over the years: doing things solo in Cincinnati. I share a few of my favorite tips for getting out in the city on your own — whether that’s grabbing coffee, trying something new, or learning how to enjoy your own company a little more. We also get into a new development in the lawsuit involving Ticketmaster and Live Nation — a...

What would make your 10-year-old self really excited? Today we’re revisiting a topic from last week talking about the small, specific things that would’ve felt like magic back then. For me? A tie-dye T-shirt I bought on a whim last year — the kind we made at home for my surprise 10th birthday party. And somehow, buying one as an adult felt like a full-circle moment I didn’t see coming. I asked you...

This morning we’re talking about Cincinnati doing its classic “is it winter or spring?” thing, the outfits none of us got right because of this weather, and the moments from the SAG Awards that had everyone texting their group chats. We’ll also mentally prepare for daylight saving time this weekend (why is it already here?), and I’ll give you one small thing to look forward to so your brain has so...

Today we’re asking the question that quietly lives in all of our brains at least once a day: am I doing this right? From career choices to friendships to folding fitted sheets (??), we talk about the weird pressure to get life “correct,” why nobody actually knows what they’re doing, and how maybe the point is just to keep showing up anyway. Light, honest, a little chaotic — and a reminder that you...

Today I’m saying goodbye to my Traveling with Tiff era and heading back to Cincy. I share a few things I learned on the road, including the one question that’s been keeping me grounded lately: What in your life right now would make your 10-year-old self lose her mind?

Today’s episode is a little life math. We’re talking PEMDAS, why my operations are clearly out of order (which may explain why I’m always late), 6 everyday habits that might be draining your energy, and a quick check-in with our snowy friends up north. If you’ve been feeling off, overwhelmed, or slightly behind… you’re not alone. Press play. https://www.realsimple.com/habits-draining-your-energy-1...

Traveling with Tiff — we’re on the road in sunny Florida. Today we’re debriefing the end of the Olympics (and yes, Mike Tirico), sharing some new, slightly chaotic things I’m learning about my family, and leaning into the kind of silly that only happens when you’re out of your routine. We also get into the wild church scene down here — which is… a lot — but there’s a message between imagine and id...

Full Lisa Frank energy today. My mom accidentally got me high, I planned my life, saw dolphins, and felt like I was inside a real-life dream. Plus Hilary Duff nostalgia and a quick, honest moment on gold, loss, and missing people. f you need something light, weird, and grounding at the same time, this is for you. Here to keep you company.

If you’ve been in a funk, this one’s for you. Today we’re breaking down simple 15-minute resets that actually help shift your mood and get you moving again. Nothing dramatic. Nothing overwhelming. Just small things that remind your brain and body that you’re not stuck forever. Also, I’m definitely having a neurodivergent moment in this episode, so we’re embracing the chaos and going with it. Press...

We’re talking about job loss today. The shock, the identity spiral, the weird quiet that follows… and the small unexpected things that start to rebuild you. Also, I share the most unhinged email subject line I’ve seen in a while. Because apparently the internet is not okay and neither are we. If you’re in a season of change, come sit with me for a few minutes.

On today’s episode, we’re talking about making Valentine’s Day fun without making it expensive — including my very strong case for using gift cards like they’re free money and why we ended up with ten breadsticks and zero regrets. We also get into the Olympic games and the moments everyone is talking about right now. And we dive into a conversation that started on my Instagram and clearly hit a ne...

Today we’re talking Olympics — and whether the gold medal engagement is the most romantic thing ever or just… a lot. Also, Hilary Duff announced a tour and suddenly we’re all 13 again. And a grounded look at 5 things that actually make long-term relationships work — not in a panic way, just real life. If you want company, press play. 🤍 https://www.today.com/health/mind-body/love-enough-relationsh...

Today we somehow end up talking about grocery stores becoming actual travel destinations in 2026 (and honestly… I get it). Cardi B is coming to Cincy — so we need to discuss. There’s a really sad Dawson’s Creek update. And the Winter Games have some emotional storylines I wasn’t prepared for. It’s a little pop culture, a little sports, a little “wait what?” — just us catching up. BTW US Women'...

We start with Super Bowl Sunday — including the wildly frugal move my friend pulled that had us crying laughing. Then we check in on Savanna’s mom and the neighborhood Facebook moms who are absolutely convinced they will solve the case themselves. And finally, a quick Olympics update as Team USA keeps stacking medals.

Today we talked about a quick life edit, a Winter Games update including U.S. medal moments and records ( and medals) being broken, and wrapped it up by talking through some of the rarest human traits, red heads prepare to be vindicated. https://www.tiktok.com/@care_and_cure.daily/video/7594963481372134687?_r=1&_t=ZP-936qpTHM8Qo

Today’s episode moves between big moments and real ones. I break down the Super Bowl + Winter Olympics overlap, touch on the Savannah Guthrie story that reminded a lot of us there are real humans behind the headlines, and spend a few minutes being honest about change. I also address my former radio station launching their new morning show today and share what listeners can expect from this show mo...

Today’s episode is a little winter brain candy. We’re bouncing between fun, random facts from the Winter Games and the Super Bowl — the kind of stuff you casually drop at a party or during halftime and suddenly everyone’s listening. Nothing too serious, just surprising, delightful details that make you appreciate how wild sports history (and Super Bowl Sunday) really is.

Science weighed in on the socks-in-bed debate and one of us feels extremely validated. We do a quick check-in, talk neurodivergent time blindness, and share an update on Savannah Guthrie’s mom.

This episode is a bit of a timeline dump — the thoughts that surface when life and the news start overlapping. We talk about Savannah Guthrie opening up about her mom, the emotional pull of the Olympics, job loss and how it reshapes identity, and Kelly Clarkson leaving her show — which turns into a bigger conversation about burnout, boundaries, and choosing yourself. No big conclusions here. Just...

A new concert is coming to Cincy ( and beyond!) Plus, do you remember the first time you ordered at a drive -through ? The awkward orders, the unexpected independence, the little moments that made us feel grown for the first time. From shaky voices at the speaker to realizing food = freedom, it’s a nostalgic, lighthearted conversation about memory, confidence, and those tiny milestones that stick...

Did that little rat see his shadow or what ?!? Happy groundhogs day. From the highs and snubs of the Grammys to the very real art of procrastination, this episode is a cozy brain dump on culture, pressure, and timing. We unpack the Grammys , why procrastination isn’t always laziness, and what Groundhog Day. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/01/29/a-neuroscientists-3-step-strategy-for-overcoming-procrastin...
