Welcome to Episode 25 of the LilyList Podcast, where our goal is to be a handbook for the living. This week, we sit down with Tiffany Speax, a storyteller, creator, and resilient spirit who has worn many hats—filmmaker, educator, mother, and community leader. Tiffany shares an honest and compelling journey through her childhood in North Carolina, her career in TV and film production, the challenges of balancing creative ambitions with family life, and ultimately, finding herself again.
This conversation is filled with raw insights, hard-earned wisdom, and an inspiring perspective on self-discovery and legacy. If you’ve ever struggled with identity, expectations, or the weight of responsibility, this episode is for you.
Here are some highlights that you can look forward to in this episode:
1. From Small-Town Roots to Big Dreams – Growing up in Kenston and Greensboro, and how her childhood shaped her drive and independence.
2. Navigating Career, Creativity & Family – How she found her passion for film and TV production, while managing the expectations of marriage and motherhood.
3. Breaking Free from Expectations – The realization that trying to "do it all" can lead to burnout and learning to prioritize herself.
4. The Power of Legacy – Teaching her children the importance of integrity, financial literacy, and community impact.
5. What Comes Next? – Looking ahead to life beyond caregiving, embracing new challenges, and rediscovering who she is beyond the roles she has played.
