Tiffany Baker Larnicol: An Unscripted Life, Beautifully Lived

Beskrivelse

Some friendships begin before we're old enough to remember, and those are often the ones that carry the most truth. This week, I'm joined by my lifelong friend Tiffany Baker Larnicol, known to those who've loved her longest as Tiffy, for a rich, wide-ranging conversation about a life fully and bravely lived. Tiffy grew up alongside me in Nashville, and from those early days together — including a Nashville Magazine cover with Santa in 1974 — she went on to build a remarkable career in international modeling, living and working in Japan, Europe, and now Dubai. In Part 1 of our two-part conversation, Tiffy shares what it was like to leave the comfort of a "boutique" Nashville for the precision and beauty of Japanese culture, the early lessons that shaped her career, and how, looking back now, she recognizes just how protected she was during an era when so many young women were not. We also talk about finding your voice, the freedom that comes with age and experience, and how living across cultures reshapes who you are. This one is personal, warm, and full of wisdom. I think you'll love her as much as I do. Part 2 drops next week.
