This week Kat is talking all things AFFIRMATIONS with Tiania Haneline. 


In March 2020, Tiania Haneline wanted her 3-year-old daughter Scarlett to build her self-confidence and embrace the beauty of her skin, her curls, her kindness and every trait in between. In the wake of George Floyd’s murder, and rise of the Black Lives Matter movement, she started using daily affirmations with her daughter. Scarlett would repeat positive affirmations back to herself in the mirror while Tiania did her hair. I am beautiful. I am strong. I am brave. I am kind. I am doing my best. Tiania started posting the videos on TikTok and wasn’t prepared for the response. Nine months later the mother-daughter duo from Myrtle Beach had more than a million social media followers and have now topped 8 million. Through the unexpected social media success, Tiania (who had been laid off from her job in 2021) went from being a single mom living from paycheck to paycheck, to being able to fully support her family. 


In their new children’s book, I’m Going to Have a Good Day!, the main character Scarlett practices daily affirmations as she goes about her day, inspiring readers to incorporate similar affirmations into their own lives.


In this episode you will hear Kat and Tiania talk about building self worth and how a foundation of knowing you are GOOD lays a foundation for making it through tough times with other's opinions of us don't align with what we know to be true.
