Crappy to Happy

Tiff Hall has been part of Crappy to Happy since the very beginning, and she's a woman who knows reinvention better than most. She spent a decade building a powerful, values-driven fitness brand, showing up through pregnancies, injuries, illness, body changes and enormous personal pressure. And then she made a decision that surprised many people, selling TXO to 28 by Sam Wood and stepping out of her CEO role.

This is an honest conversation about identity, grief, relief, and the courage it takes to choose a new chapter even when the old one has been successful. We talk about the emotional impact of walking away from something you've poured your heart into, the backlash and disappointment from a community you genuinely love, and what happens when your capacity, your body, and your priorities shift.

Tiff shares how motherhood changed her, why stepping back is not giving up, and how returning to her roots as a trainer has reconnected her to what she loves most. We also talk about comparison, social media pressure, running an online business as a woman, and what it means to grow in a way that is sustainable rather than impressive.

What you’ll learn:
What really goes on emotionally when you sell a business you built yourself
Why stepping back can feel like grief and freedom at the same time
How motherhood, injury, and illness reshaped Tiff’s relationship with fitness
The hidden pressure of running a values-led business in a highly visible industry
Why being too accessible and too generous can clash with business sustainability
How comparison and social media exposure affect mental health
Why choosing less can sometimes give you more
If you’re in a season of questioning, scaling back, or reimagining what success looks like for you, you'll want to listen to this one.

How do you embrace the "new year, new start" energy without overshooting your goals and setting yourself up to fail?

Every January we're bombarded with resolutions, routines, and lofty promises about who we're supposed to become; and every year, many of us quietly abandon them, feeling guilty, unmotivated, and like we've failed.

In this solo ep, I'm sharing my very deliberate anti-resolution approach to 2026, not because goals don't matter, but because the way we usually set them often does more harm than good.

With a background in coaching psychology and my experience of late diagnosed ADHD, this is an honest reflection on what did and did not work for me last year and the much simpler and more compassionate way I'm approaching my goals this year.

The secret is not doing more. It's doing less, with intention.

I explain why setting the bar lower can strengthen your self trust, why consistency matters more than intensity, and how choosing fewer priorities can help you feel calmer, more confident, and more fulfilled as the year unfolds.
What you will learn:
Why I'm not a fan of New Year’s resolutions
How unrealistic goals quietly erode your self concept and confidence
Why consistency beats intensity when it comes to habits and behaviour change
The surprising psychological benefits of choosing just one daily habit
What it means to go deep on one skill or area instead of skimming the surface of many
How focusing on completion, not busyness, can change how you feel about yourself
Simple questions to help you decide what actually matters this year
How to harness fresh start energy without setting yourself up to fail
If you are craving a calmer, more grounded start to the year, and you want goals that support your wellbeing rather than undermine it, this episode will give you plenty to reflect on.

AI is everywhere right now and it’s moving fast, from fake online personas and voice cloning to coaches selling AI versions of themselves. The pace of change is astonishing, and if you don't keep up, you'll be left behind. So what does this mean for small business owners, therapists and coaches?

In this episode, I talk through what I’ve been learning as I’ve gone all in on understanding the potential of AI and the role it can play as a complement to your expertise, not a substitute for it. When harnessed effectively AI offers a way to reduce burnout, remove administrative overload and free up hours of precious time that can be redirected to more meaningful, human centred interactions.

I'm sharing how I’m personally using AI in my business, why training AI properly matters, and where I believe the hard ethical lines still need to be drawn, especially when it comes to mental health and therapy. I think for any ethical business owner, there is an exciting opportunity right now to embrace artificial intelligence in your business and use it to make a meaningful difference in your own life and the lives of people you work with, without outsourcing your judgement, your values or your humanity.

What You’ll Learn
Why AI feels so uncomfortable for people and why that reaction makes sense
The difference between copy and paste prompts, custom GPTs and more advanced AI agents
How AI can genuinely reduce overwhelm for small business owners and solopreneurs (especially if you have ADHD!)
Why women appear to be slower to adopt AI 
The ethical risks of AI being used as therapy and where things can go wrong
How you can train AI "Assistants" to sound exactly like you when they produce content
Why the future of work may actually place more value on real human connection, not less
How to think about using AI in a way that aligns with your values rather than eroding them

This episode includes AI-generated content.

Women with ADHD are still being overlooked, misunderstood, and misdiagnosed, and the consequences can be profound. In this episode, I sit down with Tracy Otsuka, ADHD Coach and bestselling author of "ADHD for Smartass Women', whose mission is to help women stop pathologising themselves and start recognising their inherent creativity, intelligence, and strength.

Tracy shares her personal story, beginning with her son’s diagnosis at age 12, which sparked her deep dive into understanding ADHD. What followed was her own late diagnosis, years of independent research, and the creation of a global community that now reaches millions.

We explore why girls and women often slip through the cracks, why inattentive ADHD can be so invisible, and how societal expectations create trauma that compounds symptoms. Tracy breaks down the differences between being a hyperactive ‘doer’ versus an internal ‘thinker’, and why so many clever, capable women spend years believing they’re simply not trying hard enough.

Most importantly, Tracy offers a different way of understanding ADHD; one that centres interest, creativity, dopamine, and authenticity rather than deficit and disorder. 

What You’ll Learn
The surprising reason so many smart, capable women with ADHD remain undiagnosed well into adulthood
Why Tracy does not believe ADHD is a disorder, and what the research actually shows about mental health outcomes
How chronic trauma (including the trauma of feeling misunderstood) can masquerade as ADHD symptoms
Why women with ADHD often become perfectionists, people pleasers, or high achievers
How an interest-driven nervous system really works
Why your brain lights up for some tasks and completely shuts down for others (it’s not laziness)
The importance of designing your life around your strengths rather than forcing yourself to fit neurotypical expectations
Practical strategies for thriving with an ADHD brain — at work, at home, and in relationships

"Functional Freeze" is not a term you'll find in textbooks but it describes a nervous system shutdown response that develops when you’ve been in chronic stress for too long. Because you’re still “functioning” on the outside, it can be easy to miss. In this episode, I break down how this response develops, why it’s so misunderstood, and most importantly, what you can do to gently thaw and come back into connection, energy, and presence.

I'm covering:
What functional freeze actually is (and why it’s not in the DSM).
The nervous system science behind why you can look fine while feeling flat, foggy, or emotionally distant on the inside.
Real-life examples of how functional freeze shows up in daily life, work and relationships.
What your nervous system actually needs to shift out of freeze (hint: it’s not more discipline, hustling, or mindset work)
If this episode resonates, please share it with someone who might be quietly struggling. And if you have questions on this topic, send them through. I'd love to answer them in a future “Therapy Hour” episode on www.crappytohappy.supercast.com
