As we get into 2026, Tiffany reflects on how often we look at things from afar, whether it’s a dream career, a healthy lifestyle, or personal growth, and think, “I like how it looks, but I’m scared to do it.” In this episode of Life of And, Tiffany explores how fear and self-doubt can prevent us from achieving our goals, and why it’s important to move past these mental barriers.Through a powerful story involving her youngest daughter learning to ride a bike, Tiffany shares insights on how we often face the same threshold moments in life.

What if the thing holding you back isn’t clarity, confidence, or capability, but whether you trust yourself enough to decide?In this episode of Life of And, Tiffany sits down with longtime mentor and monthly conversation partner Brian Kavicky of Lushin to explore the quiet moment where bold vision often stalls: the moment of decision. It’s the space between knowing what you want and choosing it. When certainty fades, the stakes feel real, and your choice may affect others. Tiffany reflects on stepping away from a role she had mastered and what it’s been like to rebuild belief while leading something new without guaranteed outcomes.Together, Tiffany and Brian examine why capable, high-performing leaders hesitate even when the vision is clear. They discuss how outside feedback and “reasonable” caution can erode self-trust, and why waiting for proof keeps leaders stuck in incremental thinking. Brian offers a different path: decide first, trust your history, and stay committed even when discomfort and doubt show up.You’ll walk away with a framework to:Recognize when you’re outsourcing belief instead of owning itSeparate helpful data from fear-based feedbackDecide before the path is fully visibleStay committed when growth creates friction for you and othersWish you could talk it out with BK?
