In this episode, I sit down with Tiphany Kane, who lost her best friend Noni to breast cancer.
Tiphany shares about what it was like watching her friend go through such a horrific illness, what it did to her body, how the medical system failed her, and then how she navigated life post-loss.
Tiphany Kane, M. Ed. is the “The Heck Yes! Coach”. She is an entrepreneur, public speaker, podcast host, and writer, who brings her passion for the art of the spoken word to people who need help finding their voice.
Tiphany is passionate about coaching women to turn life's painful “no's” in life & business into empowered opportunities to find the “Heck YES!”.
She weaves in her personal experiences of escaping a cult-like religion, leaving an abusive marriage, and starting a new business after 20 years in public education to connect with women overcoming challenges.
