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

Ep. 35: Jen Louden on Vulnerability

Ah, how I love Jen Louden. I first met Jen a few years ago at WDS after my Teahouse studio-mate Stef had told me, "Jen Louden is there. You have to meet her and convince her to come teach at Teahouse." So, me being me, I saw her talking to a mutual friend, walked up and introduced myself, "Hi. I'm Tiffany. I hear you're awesome. I have a workshop space in Berkeley and we'd love for you to come teach there." Mysterious, I am not. And, lo and behold, that #raiseyourhandsayyes moment led to J...

Ep. 34: Janelle Hanchett on Telling the Truth

Ahh! I was so excited to interview Janelle Hanchett for this week's podcast episode. So excited.  When I found out I was pregnant with twins, I immediately dove into Google (don't do that!) and found myself going down the Rabbit Hole of Crazy that is websites about pregnancy and expecting and twins and all of that. There is so much information that made me feel nervous and anxious and terrible.  And then, one day, I stumbled upon Janelle's blog, Renegade Mothering, and felt like I had foun...

Ep. 33: Elise Blaha Cripe on Setting (and Reaching!) Goals

I was so excited to have Elise Blaha Cripe back on the show! This week, we talked all about goal-setting and getting things done. Elise is a MASTER at setting (and sharing) her goals and I was excited to chat with her about the practical steps of how she gets things done and how her business (and goals!) has evolved over time. We also got to talk about two of Elise's bigger projects: Make29 and her Get to Work Book (amazing!) and how these projects have played into each other and what sh...

Ep. 32: Monica McCarthy on Making Choices

I was thrilled to talk with Monica McCarthy this week for the podcast! I've known Monica for a few years and have been following her career as she's gone through so many entrepreneurial iterations and is currently the Experience Impressario for Holstee. (If you're curious about what an Experience Impressario does, we'll cover that!) On this episode, Monica and I talked all about what she learned about risk from being an actress, how she was able to let go of the solopreneur dream and get a ...

Ep. 30: Amy Tan and Creativity

Oooh, you guys. I've been dreaming of having Amy Tan on the show since it's inception, and I'm excited to finally bring you this episode. I met Amy a few years ago at my first Craftcation (and where I'm speaking this weekend!) and was blown away by how cool and sweet and smart and lovely she is.  Amy is a scrapbooking superstar but started out with her own clothing company. Through her experiences running her own clothing company, becoming a scrapbooking guru, and figuring out what works, A...

Ep. 29: Meg Worden on Owning It

I am such a big fan of Meg Worden and was thrilled to have her on the show. To me, Meg is the Queen of Owning It which becomes quickly apparent if you spend any time on her blog at all (I highly recommend that you do!).  In this episode, Meg and I talk about so many things - defining yourself as an entrepreneur, Meg's time in federal prison and how she's owned her experience, the power of telling your story and embracing vulnerability. Meg also shares ways that you can get started in tellin...

Ep. 28: Michelle Ward on Starting a Business

Ahh! It's a good day when I get to bring my dear friend (and collaborator) Michelle Ward back on the podcast! In this week's episode, Michelle and I talk about starting a business, the moment you realize you're ready to break free from your golden handcuffs, and when you should and shouldn't follow that calling. We also talk about our own experiences with time management and taking a make-things-work approach now that we are both mama-preneurs. At the end of this episode, we also spill the...

Ep. 27: Book Club: The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks

Huzzah! It's book club time!  As I mention in this episode of the podcast, I've been wanting to do an online book club since 2008 (!!) when I started blogging. Therefore, I was stoked when I was talking with Erin one day about The Big Leap and we realized that we should do a book club. On the podcast. Oh yes baby, that's how the magic happens.  This episode is all about The Big Leap and Upper Limit Problems and Zones of Genius. Erin and I get all kinds of personal talking about our ow...

Ep. 26: Jennifer Lee on Creativity as an Asset

Newsflash: your creativity is an asset, not a liability.  I have based my entire business around this principle, and I wanted to explore it further on the podcast. I see too many women trying to quiet their creative voices instead of embracing them. It's time to change.  In this episode, I talk about why I think creativity needs to be embraced and then sit down to talk with Jennifer Lee, one of my favorite peeps ever, about it. As the creator of the Right Brain Business Plan, Jenn has...

Ep. 25: Erin Cassidy on Finding Creative Freedom

You guys! I can't believe it's taken me 25 episodes of the podcast to have Erin Cassidy on the show! For those of you who have been following this blog for a while, you're likely quite used to seeing "**graphic by Erin Cassidy for Tiffany Han Coaching." Today, you'll get to hear a conversation with the woman behind the graphics!  Not only is Erin responsible for keeping my brand looking ship-shape, she's also one of my favorite people in the world and someone who I credit with a large pa...

Ep. 24: Esmé Weijun Wang on Radical Sincerity

I was super excited to interview the lovely Esmé Weijun Wang this week for the podcast!  Esmé and I covered so much ground in this episode, from her mission of radical sincerity to the value of small talk, from finding your authentic voice online  to telling your story, from building resilience and finding community.  If you've ever struggled with how to tell your own creative story amidst everyone else online, this episode is for you!  Thank you so much, Esmé, it was such a treat having ...

Ep. 23: Tiffany Han on Crazyfaith

And, welcome to the podcast episode where I quote myself. This week, I did something a little bit different and did a solo show. What started out as a short guide to finding your own way to Raise your hand and say yes quickly became my stance on life (enter: the Crazyfaith) and my musings on the movement I'm trying to create with my work and this show.  I'm feeling a wee bit vulnerable posting and sharing this now, but, in the spirit of leaning in to my own discomfort, here goes.  I'd...

Ep. 22: Laura Simms on Purpose

You guys. I adore Laura Simms! This interview was so fun to do because 1. Laura is my friend and 2. She is so smart! While I thought Laura and I would talk a lot about the hustle of being a new mom and an entrepreneur, our conversation quickly took a turn towards being about finding your purpose, appropriate because Laura helps people discover their purpose-driven careers as a career coach. We also talk about letting go of what other people are thinking, letting go of needing a "label" for ...

Ep. 21: Kelly Rae Roberts on Boundaries

I was super excited to talk with Kelly Rae Roberts this week on the podcast. She's such a gift!  Kelly Rae and I started our conversation by talking about boundaries and how you can take care of yourself in this crazy share-everything world. We also talked about how to embrace change and follow those whispers to just do something already! We also covered parenting, creative practices, and getting quiet. There's so much here!  Tweet us: As mentioned towards the end of the episode, Kelly Rae...

Ep. 20: Nicole Stevenson & Delilah Snell on Creative Collaborations

Ahh, I love Nicole and Delilah from Craftcation so so much and was thrilled to have them on the show this week!  We talked a LOT about partnerships and creative collaborations, but we also talked about how to (creatively) make the best of a shitty situation, what to do when things go wrong, and how to let things go to make room for the new in your life.  Nicole and Delilah, you are the best and I can't wait to hug you like crazy in March!  PS. Speaking of April, did you know that I'll be ...

Ep. 19: Flora Bowley on Letting Go

Flora Bowley is someone I could interview for the podcast each and every week, knowing that we'd never run out of things to talk about! I was so excited to get to chat with her and think that this episode is the perfect one for us to kick off 2015 with!  This week, Flora and I talk about letting go. I love her take on working through the process of creating, whether you're a painter or a writer or just a human being trying to exist in this crazy world. We also talked about the awkward te...

Ep. 18: Bari Tessler Linden on Money

Finally, the episode about money! When I thought about money talk, I knew that I had to have Bari Tessler Linden on the show - she is The Person who knows how to deal with all the money stuff, from the ins and outs of bookkeeping to overcoming money shame and bad habits. Bonus, she's super nice and lovely to talk with! In this episode, we talk about how to start (my favorite!) getting your money game in order, from the spiritual to the practical. Bari points out that your Money Story is you...

Ep. 17: Kari Chapin on Productivity

Oh, Kari Chapin is one of my favorites! On this week's episode of RYHSY, we talk all about productivity and procrastination. We dig into the ugly truth of starting and how to get the work done. Really. We also talk about claiming and owning a title for yourself and how to take risks in your creative work and career. I relate to every single thing Kari says in this episode! Every. Single. Thing.  Kari, thank you. So mich!  Show Notes  Connect with Kari: Website | Twitter | Instagram Kari...

Ep. 16: Susannah Conway on Unraveling

Oh, Susannah! This week, I was thrilled to be able to interview Susannah Conway. I have been a fan of Susannah's photos and writing for years and have been so excited to share this episode with you. Susannah is a pro at keeping it real and we were able to cover so many topics, including: procrastination, owning your introverted-ness, trusting (and developing) your voice as an artist, learning and then learning some more, and using your art for healing.  It's a good one, you guys (I kn...

Ep. 15: Tanya Geisler on the Imposter Complex

Is it possible for me to be any more in love with Tanya Geisler than I am? No. No it is not.  I was thrilled to be able to interview Tanya for this week's show. In the interview, we talk about Tanya's work with the think that I think is the biggest threat to creative women: the Imposter Complex. And the conversation is so good! This stuff is crazy important and I am so grateful to Tanya for speaking about it in such a true and encouraging way.  Show Notes: Connect with Tanya: Website | Tw...

Ep. 14: Tracy Benjamin on Authenticity

This week on Raise your Hand Say Yes, I was super excited to get to interview Tracy Benjamin of Shutterbean! (In case y'all aren't familiar with Tracy, she's my go-to for recipes. My current favorite is her olive oil banana bread. OMG.) As always, we talk about so much in this episode, but spend a lot of time discussing authentic and staying true to your voice. We also talk about the power of staying positive and what happens behind the scenes that people have no idea about.  Show Notes: ...

Ep. 13: Stephanie Lee on Habits

Oh how I adore Stephanie Lee! I could talk with her for hours and am thrilled to have her on this week's episode of Raise your Hand Say Yes. Stephanie and I covered so much in this episode, including how to deal with fear, working towards your big dreams even when you don't "feel like it," and being open to change, even when it's wholly inconvenient. Can anyone relate? (Hi. I can. Yes.) We also talked about creative habits and how to get the work done already!  Thank you, Stephanie! You ar...

Ep. 12: Stefanie Renee & Liz Kalloch of Mabel Magazine

This week on Raise your Hand Say Yes, I am excited to bring you an interview with Stefanie Renee and Liz Kalloch, the artists behind the new (real-life, hold it in your hands!) Mabel Magazine. I love what Stef and Liz have created with this magazine and wanted to get the behind-the-scenes story of creating something so involved!

This week on Raise your Hand Say Yes, I was thrilled to chat with my friend, Jen Hewett.

We also talked about how to find time to make your creative work...

Ep. 9: Michelle Ward on Changing Dreams

This week on Raise your Hand Say Yes, I’m interviewing one of my favorite people in the world!  Michelle Ward, the When I Grow Up Coach, was kind enough to sit down with me to talk about letting go of dreams.  If you don't know Michelle's story, it's a good one!

We also talk about how praise can be just as damaging as criticism, what self-care really means, and how to focus on service first. We also dive into the topic of fear and how you can move past it towards what you want for your life.  It's time to change the world y'all. Let's hop to it. (Um. No pressure.) Show notes: Tara Mohr: Website | Book 

Ep. 5: Mati Rose McDonough and Feeling the Fear

This week, it's all about feeling the fear and doing it anyways!

We also talk about the pros and cons of art school. I love hearing about Mati's first foray into the publishing world (talk about brave, y'all!) and her secret life in South America.
