The Tiffany Han Show (formerly Raise Your Hand Say Yes)

How do you look back to look ahead? This week, I'm diving into the questions that I use to take stock and am applying them to 2018 so I can start considering what I want to shift in the new year.

You'll hear me share what worked, what didn't, and what I'm looking forward to shifting my focus to in 2019. If you're looking for tools to do your own year-end (or anytime!) evaluation, this episode is for you. (Or if you just wanna peek behind the curtains of RYHSY HQ, you can do that too!)

You'll also get the scoop on my guiding word for 2019 and the details on why my guiding word for 2018 didn't work out AT ALL.

Happy holidays everyone!!

This week I'm sharing the top 5 things that changed my life this year! As I went through my list (you'll get to hear my live lightbulb moment in the episode), I realized that my list was completely unsexy. And still - the changes left me feeling super sexy and free and connected. Funny how that works, eh?

If you're tired of feeling like you need to make Big Daring Sexy Moves to feel good about your life, I've got you covered!

This episode was inspired by a listener's request to cover setting more realistic goals as a topic. Here's the thing: while I don't think we need to necessarily worry about how "realistic" our goals are, I also think that we can get better at pulling ourselves off the brink of burnout in order to live the lives that we want to live.

But is it possible to do both? I think that it is - AND - that it's not only possible, but necessary. In this episode, I break down how and give real-life examples (literally from my life!) of what this process might look like!

In a world full of people telling us how they can revolutionize our businesses and that we need to leap and hope with all we have that our nets will appear, how can we be so sure that the move we're going to make is The Right One?

This week, I'm taking you through my journey (starting Freshman year in college) of so many Raise Your Hand Say Yes career moves that eventually got me to the place of starting my coaching practice, going full time, and starting this podcast.

There are twists. And turns. And backtracks. And pivots. As is to be expected by life. But, there was also so much learning - which I'll share as well.

Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy, and remember: you're doing great. You're not alone. Keep going.

Happy almost-December! This week, I'm sharing the top 5 (with a bonus!) things I've learned in my over 10 years of raising my hand and saying yes to all of those things I want to do, be, and say!

There is, and in this week's episode, I'll tell you all about it AND how to make sure you're being grateful while still evolving and living your life by your own standards. You'll also hear a story about one of my worst Thanksgivings ever and what Ariana Grande's new song has to do with your life!

This week, I'm diving into a long-asked-for topic: how to tell the difference between fear, intuition, and the voice of the inner critic.

You'll hear me talk about why we often miss our intuition at first, how to start listening for it, and why fear might end up being useful to us as we start raising our hands and saying yes to ourselves!

I'll also share some details about the current social media sabbatical that I'm on and what I learned after just a couple of days in!

How do you handle conflicting advice from all those smarty-pants influencers on the internet? And what do you do when trying to follow said advice ends up with you at the bottom of a tailspin of overwhelm, fatigue, and feelings of definitely-not-enoughness?

I've got you covered in this week's episode where I share how I'd love for you to approach managing this advice, why there's nothing wrong with you, and why success formulas often fall flat!

Oh, and you'll also hear me talk about: thrift store, tortilla soup, and wanting to make a million dollars. All bases are covered.

Let's start a new way together, eh?

What do fake eyelashes and blisters and my quitting drinking have to do with your life? They're all examples of times when I've stopped saying yes to things that leave me feeling like shit. And where has that gotten me? To a lot of places. AND it's an ongoing journey.

So, let's figure out how to keep going, eh?

This week, I'm talking about what I want you to stop saying yes to. AND where you can start in making those shifts you're dreaming of. (Or how to find your ease and momentum if you're in the midst of a shift and are starting to get overwhelmed!)

You'll also get to hear the biggest mistake I see people making when they raise their hands and say yes to the people they want to be and what you can do about it.

I also share what to do when things aren't working, how to know when to quit, or when small adjustments should be made.

When it comes to online business, it's easy to make assumptions about what you think is going on behind the scenes based on what you see publicly. This week, I'm sharing the three things you *don't* know about my business and what they mean to you and the creative work you want to be doing in this world.

I also share my reasons for why I think you should start making those moves of yours today (yes! today!) as well as the big takeaway from a Seth Godin interview I heard years ago that I still use as a prayer to this day. Enjoy, enjoy, and if you have any lightbulb moments, I'd love to hear them!

We often talk about how to get started and how to manage your time, but what about the aftermath of doing something big, scary, and all-consuming?

This week, I'm talking about what to do after you go all in or have a big thing happen. I'm sharing about it in the context of my move, my morning person experiment, and my recent Inner Circle launch. All big things. All still happening. (Spoiler alert: things never really "end.")

Are you waiting to have the Next Great Idea to get moving on your creative dreams? Are you finding yourself trapped in the either/or when you really want to live in the shades of grey in between? Are you wondering if you're *really* ready to step into your RYHSY life? Then this episode is for you.

I break down:
+ how I let go of being held back by the fears of failure, success, and disruption
+ what saying yes really looks like
+ my own story of saying yes that led me to starting this podcast over four years ago (!!) - seriously, it all started with my saying a single sentence out loud
+ a different story of a time when I didn't say yes and someone else made my idea real
+ why inertia is the biggest enemy around to your creative work (and how the Inner Circle will help you move beyond that!)

...and so much more! Also, if you're wondering if the Inner Circle is right for you (applications close Friday), have a listen - this should help you know!

Ever wonder if you're the "right" kind of creative or if you're doing your creative endeavors the way you should?

Have you ever called yourself "not creative" just because you aren't a visual artist or a maker? Have you ever looked around at what everyone else is doing with their work and thought that they must surely know something you don't?

If you answered yes to any of the above, you are not alone! This week, I'm diving into the question of what it means to do creativity the "right" way - you KNOW I have thoughts - as well as what we all can learn from my experience being an imperfect podcaster, what I learned from a business planning class with Jenn Lee, and how what a 7th grade art teacher stuck with me for nearly 20 years.

Oh! And if you're wondering if the Inner Circle might be a good fit for you, I've got you covered there as well - applications open until 9/21!

Fear. It's real and sometimes it's loud. But what about those times it's *not* so loud? And what about those times that fear is in control of our actions and we don't even realize it?

That's what I'm talking about this week - all those sneaky ways fear shows up and holds us back from making the moves we really want to be making in our lives and in our work. If you consistently find yourself overwhelmed or taking on too much or lost in research or just wishing you had more time, this episode is for you!

You'll also get to hear from RYHSY Inner Circle alum Tammi Salas about her experience in the program and what she took away from our year together! It's such good stuff!

Do you ever find yourself wondering any of these:

+ Why can't I create (or be as confident) as everyone I see online?

+ Why can't I just stay off social media?

+ Why am I so tired?

+ Why do I have so many doubts?

Guess what? YOU ARE NOT ALONE. And also: there is nothing wrong with you. Promise.

This week, I'm breaking down some of the most common questions I hear from people about their creative habits and where they think they need to change and am diving into why these questions consistently come up as well as some new ways you can approach them when they do.

There are no formulas for success. There are no absolute right answers. And I promise you this: someone else is asking themselves those very things you're asking yourself right now.

You're doing great. Keep going.

What do moving to San Francisco (without my boyfriend at the time), coming off of maternity leave, and quitting drinking have in common? They were all major turning points in my life.

In this week's episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of these three huge transitions in my life and sharing everything I've learned in the process of making my way through them, including how I now face those "things have to change!" whispers now.

If you're in the midst of a transition, this episode is for you. If you're about to be in the midst of a transition, this episode is for you. And if you too have survived challenging transitions in your life, I've got you covered as well. Big BIG love.

I am thrilled to be kicking Season 5 (!!) off with a return appearance from my friend Camille T. Dungy.

In this episode, Camille and I dive real-talk look at what happens behind the scenes of the life of a successful poet, author, speaker, and teacher and how she maintains success and keeps her creative train on the tracks.

We also talk about self-care, how to find/ask for/get help, the difference between doing and promoting the work, and how to navigate the tension between wanting success yesterday and finding the patience to let your ideas simmer.

I loved this conversation and suspect you will too..

Procrastination. It's real. It's daunting. And for many of us, it's the big thing standing in the way of us being the person we want to be in this world.

Have you ever found yourself saying something out loud that is self-depricating and not actually true? If so, this episode is for you.

This week, I'm diving into three specific stories I've told throughout my life (one very recently!) and looking at what impact telling them has had on what I believe about myself. The short version is that the things we say out loud tend to become true. The other spoiler is that we can shift this ourselves.

If you're ready to stand in your own power and own the good work that you do in this world (or that you're ready to do), have a listen. You are not alone. And you are doing great.

Can you slowly and gradually shift a habit or do you have to go all in? Is it possible to actually change something about yourself that you've believed to be true your whole life? How do you know when a change is necessary or when it's antithesis to the person you really are? And, then, if you are ready to try out the change, where do you even start?

These are just a few of the questions that come up around habit change and this week, I'm diving into my own shift in my habit around waking up in the morning. Yes, hand raisers, you heard that right: I am (on purpose!) waking up every morning at 6 am (begrudgingly) and am working on becoming a morning person.

Listen in to find out how I'm approaching it, how it's going, and what my journey has to do with those life and creative habits that you're ready to shift. Because you know this is about so much more than what time you're alarm goes off in the morning!

Are y'all ready for this one? It's time to pause to honor the first 201 episodes of RYHSY (I still can't believe it!) and this week I'm sharing the 10 things I've learned in my four years (so far!) of podcasting!

Here's the full list in case you need a cheat sheet:

1. Start where you are.
2. Do the scrappiest version you can to get going.
3. If it works, it's good enough. (For now.)
4. Refine over time - you'll know when it's time to make shifts.
5. Shout your stuff from the rooftops. (Yes, more than you're comfortable with!)
6. Have high standards and own that.
7. Don't keep trudging down a self-created path that you don't love.
8. ...but don't quit too early either!
9. Relationships are EVERYTHING.
10. Pause to look at where you've been, even if you still want to climb farther!

Thank you to everyone who's been a part of the success of this show (over 1 million downloads!) - here's to the next 4 years!

Let's talk about anxiety and real life and what happens when you make a bold move toward something you really want and it's *still* hard.

This week, I'm taking you through the inner workings of my brain and sharing my recent experience with purchasing a home in Colorado and how that kicked up my anxiety BIGTIME.

My hope in talking about this stuff is that it starts getting normalized and that anyone who can relate knows that they aren't alone. Let's all keep going together, eh?

Episode 200. WHAT?!?!

 

This week, I'm looking at the big picture (200 episodes!) as well as the individual moments that create a movement. 

 

I'm diving into my thoughts on hitting 200 episodes, Hamilton, and hard-boiled eggs (I promise it all makes sense!) as well as the reasons I'm not willing to only have one call to action and why I'm not doing a "Everything I learned in 200 episodes" just yet.

 

If you're getting frustrated by inaction in your creative process, this episode is for you!!

Let's talk about fear -  it's intense and it's real. Buuuuut let's also talk about how one of the biggest secrets of creative success is being a person who's willing to take action despite their fear.

In this week's episode, I'm breaking down different examples of how fear is self-fulfilling for what I hope is the pep talk you've been waiting for to get a move on!

If any of these are familiar, I've got you covered:
+ It's too late for me to get started.
+ But what if someone takes my idea?
+ I don't know enough.
+ I'm not ready.
+ People will judge me/what if someone doesn't like it?
+ OMG WHAT IF I FAIL?!

Let's do this.

Let's dive in: if you want to make those big ideas of yours happen, learning the art of following through on your big ideas is essential!

In this episode, I'm breaking things down into the basics that you need to get going and raise your hand and say yes to the big things keeping you up at night!

Want a cheat sheet? Here you go:

Your 5 Follow Through Guiding Principles:

1. Talk is cheap if it's not backed up by action.
2. Any action counts.
3. You're never going to have things completely figured out. Learn to embrace the "I don't know" and move forward anyway.
4. You know more than you realize. Go deeper.
5. It's up to you to find a force stronger than your fear.

And what to do about it:

1. Make a list of all those things you say you wanna do.
2. Star the 1-2 that feel like the most exciting.
3. Pause to consider the following: How would it feel to
a. never get around to making it happen?
b. see someone else doing it?
4. If you're still in, figure out the Start, commit to taking that step, and then DO IT.
5. Start taking really good care of yourself.

Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

Courage. We all could use a little more of it, but not having it might be holding us back from doing the thing that will help us get it! Enter: Kate Swoboda and her new book The Courage Habit (which I'm pretty sure was written for us!).

In her new book and in this conversation, Kate helps unpack the different habits associated with courage and how we can step past our fear to get out into the world and follow through on all those things we *say* we want to do!

Kate also gives permission to let go of working so hard and needing to be everything to everyone (amen and hallelujah!) and offers tips for how to start stepping out of your old stories into the things that are going to make you the most proud of yourself.

This conversation and this work is so important. Enjoy!

Confession time! I haven't been doing the things I say I want to do. Ahhh! So, here I am, going solo on the show to tell you all about it.

Formulas are hard to argue with. Patterns and habits are challenging to break. And yet (!) most of us know that we want more for our creative work and our lives and businesses than we're letting ourselves have. This week, I'm bringing you behind the scenes of my own recent revelation about what was standing in my way of going all in on my big ideas and how I'm (hoping to!) shift my tide (there's webinar for that).

Join me. The waters are lovely.

Oh man. Body stuff. It's big. This week, I was thrilled to have Stasia Savasuk back on the show to talk all about body image, getting dressed, and (of course!) so much more!

+ how you can exercise your brave muscle
+ building little moments of empowerment
+ what to do when a hurdle shows up
+ divine intervention
+ vulnerability hangovers
+ deliberately deciding how you want to show up in the world...and then DOING IT. (YES.) 

You will love this conversation. Enjoy, enjoy!

Today I'm talking about how to deal with navigating change, and this episode is auto-biographical as I'm right in the midst of making some huge changes around my home life (hello, let's move states!).

I'll take you through the steps I'm using right now as I gingerly tread through this shift and try to stay sane in the process.

Want the cliff notes? Here are my 8 steps:

1. Remember why you want it.
2. Remember that you want it.
3. Let go of having answers that will appease other people's anxieties.
4. But create external accountability if that helps.
5. Self-care like whoa.
6. Sleep.
7. Say when it's hard.
8. Remember that you'll be so grateful for this experience someday.

Change is important, and it's hard. And we're all in it together.

I was so excited to get to interview Leah Vernon of Beauty and the Muse for this week's episode!

Leah and I covered SO MUCH in this conversation, including:

+ what graduate school taught her about bouncing back from rejection
+ how to be unapologetically yourself
+ how to find your people and the right kind of support
+ how to develop a writing habit
+ the acceptance of anger
+ how to let go of what other people care and think

Oh, yes. Profound things happen when you let go of the need to keep other people comfortable at the detriment of yourself. Amen and hallelujah!

Enjoy, enjoy!

I was so excited to finally get to talk with De'Ana Fierce, founder of The Modeling Standard, for this week's episode! We covered making leaps, finding confidence, and why respect is so critical.

You'll hear us talk about:
+ how De'Ana went from police officer to model (and nope, she wasn't discovered at a mall!)
+ how to deal when listening to your intuition doesn't pay off immediately
+ why it's okay to want more for your life and creative work
+ how you can choose confidence and where to find it
+ ...and what to do if you aren't quite ready to make a shift.

If you are craving confidence or are ready to step into a new phase, this episode is for you. Have a listen and then get excited. You've got big work to do.

Can you use your art as resistance, as a form of activism, or as  a catalyst for social change? Yes, you can, and this week, I'm talking with Susan Celia Swan about how to do just that.

Susan is the Executive Director of V-Day, a global activist movement to end violence against women and girls that raises funds and awareness through benefit productions of Playwright/Founder Eve Ensler's The Vagina Monologues and other artistic works, and we had such an amazing conversation about what creative women can do to activate change in their local communities and on a global scale.

We also talked about what to do if you want to serve but aren't sure how to get started, the big impact tiny moves can create, and how to deal with the imperfection that can rise up when YOU want to rise up.

This conversation is important and powerful. We've all got big work to do. No pressure, hand raisers! And let's go.

Welcome to the beginning of a new 3-part series I'm doing for the rest of February about how you can start approaching your big creative ideas from a different perspective. 

This week, I'm kicking things off with a new take on Idea Development and how you can start bringing some of those gorgeous ideas of yours out of hiding and into the world! 

This isn't about learning the latest time management hacks or piling more onto your already-overcrowded plate. Because there is a better way out there for you to turn your big, creative ideas into a big, creative reality. But without all the pressure of that, of course. *wink*

RYHSY Ep. 169: Are you looking for the wrong thing? 

The RYHSY Inner Circle

100 Rejection Letters


What happens when something that looks so good on paper stops working? And what do you do when that something involves someone you love?

This week, I'm talking with my biz-wife-for-life Erin Cassidy about how we're making moves away from the work that we spent most of 2017 building up and (more importantly!) why we're making that shift.

The big learnings:
You can love something and still let it go.
Your intuition often knows the truth before you're ready to say it out loud.
Your creative work is constantly evolving. Get out of your own way and let it.

Listen in to hear all about the changes we're making, what it's like to let go of things you worked super hard to build, and how we have all the nervous excitement for what's next!

Let's talk about the reality of making big shifts. Let's talk about what things really look like behind the scenes of change. Let's talk about the dark side of creative ambition and how it's so easy to let our drive take us to the brink of overwhelm...and how it's easy for that to become our normal.

This week's solo episode tackles those ideas with a few things that I want you to keep in mind as you undertake creative endeavors. Because, yes, you want big things for yourself. But it's easy to forget that those big things usually require big energetic outputs. And it's also easy to forget what's at the heart of all the things we're working so hard to achieve.

If you're mid-leap, this episode is for you. If you're contemplating a leap, this episode is for you. If you're tired of being tired and want to find more peace, ease, and flow, this episode is for you.

Enjoy, enjoy, and remember: you're doing great. You're not alone. Keep going.

I'm back this week with the second half of my interview with Yulia Van Doren of Goldirocks. In this episode, we pick up where we left off: Yulia's home from Tucson and has $4K worth of crystals in her car...then what? The rest of the story might surprise you.

In this episode, you'll hear about how perfectionism almost stopped Yulia from ever making Goldirocks real, how life stepped in once again to shake things up, and how the loss of the biggest opportunity of Yulia's operatic career led to her being able to write her book, collaborate with Anthropologie, and partner with Herbivore! (You'll also hear about how these partnerships came into her life magically.)

I also asked her to give us a little lesson in Crystals Healing 101 and if you stay til the end, you'll also hear my own hard-to-believe-except-it-happened crystal story!

Enjoy, enjoy!

How did a professional Opera singer become the internet's favorite crystal seller? Is that kind of leap even possible? YES! It is, and this week you're going to hear (the first half!) of the story in my interview with Yulia Van Doren, founder of Goldirocks.

In our conversation, you'll hear about how Yulia went from successful-but-not-super-happy opera singer to being handed a big ol' stack of unexpected life changes to blowing up the internet with her gorgeous crystals. Except. We all know that paths like this are never as smooth as Instagram makes them seem, and this is especially true in Yulia's case.

She shares how she *really* got started, what happened when she finally started following her inner knowings, and how she ended up in Arizona with $4,000 worth of crystals in her trunk.

You are going to love this conversation! Enjoy, enjoy, and stay tuned for the conclusion next week!

One year sober. Whoooa. In this bonus solo episode, I revisit my decision to quit drinking and reflect back on what I've learned through my own recovery journey over the past year. This episode is perfect for anyone who is pondering a change in their lives, whether it's around shifting your relationship with alcohol or not. 

You'll hear me talk about how my consideration of the words "sobriety" and "recovery" have changed throughout the years, how I'm feeling about my decision to quit drinking and how I've been able to stay committed to my decision. 

You'll also hear me share about why it's important to remember that there's no secret formula to success and that we all have to find our own way. This is key! 

THANK YOU to everyone who has supported me in this decision and who's reached out to let me know that telling my story has made a difference to you. I'm going to keep doing it. Won't you do the same?

To kick off the new year, I'm thrilled to be talking with coach and writer Andrea Owen about her new book How to Stop Feeling Like Sh*t: 14 Habits that are Holding You Back from Happiness and the ways we can all start showing up in our lives differently.

In this conversation, Andrea and I talk about how you know when you need to make a change, the behaviors that we engage in that we *think* are protecting us, and the reality of embracing change in your life. (Spoiler alert: it ain't easy. It's an ongoing process. It's always worth it.)

We also talk about how you can take your first steps towards changing habits and what to keep in mind if your life isn't currently feeling super kick-ass and what to do when challenges come up.

I've known Andrea for years and am such a fan of her work. I think you'll get so much from this conversation!
