In this deeply moving episode of Beyond Orders, host Michelle Penczak sits down with Tiffany McCawley, a military spouse and mother of five whose faith and resilience leave a lasting impression. Tiffany became part of the Squared Away team in 2020, but her journey began long before that.
In 2015, Tiffany endured every parent’s worst nightmare; the loss of two of her children in a tragic accident. What followed was not a neatly wrapped healing journey but a raw, honest walk through grief, anchored by her faith and a quiet strength developed through lived experience.
Tiffany shares how she moved from surviving to thriving, how her work brought renewed meaning, and how her belief in God gave her the courage to keep going when nothing made sense. She speaks candidly about the causes close to her heart, including Let Them Live, supporting foster and at-risk youth; While We’re Waiting, empowering women facing unexpected pregnancy; Backpack Friends, feeding food-insecure children; and Ride Safe Foundation, striving to reduce underage drinking and increase safe rides for teens.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
