Triumphing Over Debilitating Pain, Meet Enterprising Entrepreneur Tiffany West, Emotional Care Coach
What is your personal story?
I am the proud wife and mama of two beautiful boys. I love life and find the most joy in nature, cooking nourishing foods, dancing, meditation, being a mom, and healing my body. I have a deep desire and passion for helping others heal. I am a highly sensitive soul with a strong intuition and gift for making people feel safe.
As a child I knew I wanted to be a teacher when I grew up. I was very athletic, gymnastics being my first love! Then becoming a 2nd degree black belt in karate by age 17. I got straight A’s in high school but had no interest in college until later in life because I was still discovering who I was. I really enjoyed customer service and over time landed in the banking industry, where I grew my career. I found myself excelling and quickly reached my career goals.
On the outside, I appeared to be very healthy. It felt amazing at the time but as I worked so hard to reach this outer level of success, I didn’t realize the toll it was taking on my mind and body. I ignored many symptoms and years of pain that started in my early 20's. I wasn’t prioritizing my needs and my health paid the price.
By age 37, I was diagnosed with a rare condition of arthritis that I was told was incurable. That was one of countless other illnesses I had developed over the years. The doctors were at a loss for solutions and told me there was nothing they could do. So I lived this way for years with no hope for a way out and I was exhausted. My body was in debilitating pain, it was chronic, and demanding my attention.
After 20 years of working in the corporate world, being a full time student and single mom living paycheck to paycheck doing my best just to survive, I found myself completely burnt out from this fast-paced lifestyle seeking more meaning (and peace) out of my career and out of life.
I resigned from banking in 2019 to pursue my dream of being a Life Coach and start my own company, Interior Health Design LLC. It was the scariest decision I’ve ever made but the idea of not following my heart was even scarier.
I yearned to serve in a bigger capacity and feel more aligned with the work I was doing in the world. My healing journey has brought me here now serving in a BIG way, empowering women to trust their desires, break free from limitations and design the life of their dreams!
What makes you a remarkable global leader?
My passion and dedication to break the cycle of generational trauma by educating people on the importance of emotional wellness. I'm leading a movement to help people awaken, transform, and evolve into who they came here to be and reach levels of success they never thought possible by applying my proven CALM method!
What advice do you have for other women wanting to break through barriers?
Always put YOU first, as you are your most valuable asset. When difficult emotions arise, as they will anytime you grow and stretch yourself, know they are there to serve your evolution and help you build the emotional resilience required to reach new heights. Trust yourself and always have your own back. There are no wrong decisions, only the decisions you make right. Follow your heart and believe in your ability to do amazing things!
How can GlobalMindED further support your efforts?
I’d like to explore collaboration opportunities with GlobalmindED and offer workshops as an additional resource to your organization to help support the big life transitions your young professionals are facing to set them up for lasting success.

Join us for a Premier Screening of "Beyond Their Years" at GlobalMindED Thursday, June 8, 2023! |
|
Herb Carnegie and Buck O’Neil, two social justice icons that blazed a trail in sport and changed the world.
Herb Carnegie (Hockey) and Buck O’Neil (Baseball) were trailblazers but were nonetheless
excluded from playing in the highest professional leagues of the sports they loved because of their race. Instead of becoming angry and bitter, they channeled the injustice they both experienced into pioneering work that made their respective sports, and the world, more inclusive.
“Beyond Their Years” captures the effort put forth by amazing allies of all races who worked in unison towards the long overdue recognition of these two remarkable lives. The film will tie together their legacies and what they mean today in a verité style feature that teaches, heals and humanizes.
