  • Summary

  • Welcome to Hard Beautiful Journey, where vulnerability is our strength and courage is our compass. Hosted by Tiff Carson, who has walked a difficult path of her own, this podcast is a beacon of healing and hope. My mission? To create a space where we can talk openly about life’s hardest moments and the incredible strength it takes to move through them. If you’ve seen my podcast cover, you’ll notice a heart that’s broken, covered in ashes—but also healing. That heart represents the journey we all face. It’s through the cracks that the light shines in, and it’s in that light we find our way out of the dark. On this journey, I share my 7 pillars that guide us through healing: 1. Use Your Voice – Speak your truth and break the silence. 2. Love Your Story – Embrace your past, your pain, and your power. 3. Ignite Your Gratitude – Find the light even in the darkest moments. 4. Honor Your Body – Care for the vessel that carries you through it all. 5. Awaken Your Joy – Seek out the moments of laughter and joy, even when it feels hard. 6. Find Your Tribe – Build your community and lean on others. 7. Nurture Your Soul – Feed your spirit with what heals and uplifts you. Here, we dig into stories of grief, trauma, addiction, resilience, and overcoming loss, as well as the beautiful parts of life—like discovering inner strength, finding joy, and connecting with others in deep, meaningful ways. You’ll hear from people who’ve faced incredible challenges and emerged stronger, as well as those who are still in the process of healing. Together, we’ll explore what it means to rebuild after life knocks you down, and how to rise again, more whole than ever before. This community is for anyone on their own hard and beautiful journey. It’s for those who want to learn, grow, and feel less alone in the process. The Hard Beautiful Journey isn’t just a podcast—it’s a shared experience, built on these 7 pillars, and I’m so grateful to have you along for the ride.

    Grief, Art, and Healing: Paula Di Marco on Finding Beauty Through Loss
    Feb 18 2025

    Grief is never simple—especially when it’s tied to complicated relationships, trauma, and unanswered questions. In this deeply moving episode of Hard Beautiful Journey, I sit down with Paula Di Marco, a writer, visual artist, and mental health advocate who turned to art and storytelling after the devastating loss of her partner, Alex, to suicide in 2021.

    Paula opens up about navigating love and loss when mental illness is involved, the power of creative expression in healing, and how she has learned to hold both pain and beauty in the same breath. She shares the raw reality of grieving someone who also caused harm, the complex emotions that arise, and how she ultimately found resilience, purpose, and a new voice through writing and art.

    If you or someone you love has experienced grief, trauma, or loss, this conversation is an invitation to hold space for your healing, your pain, and your growth.
