This Morning: The Case of "The Firsts"

This Morning: You’re Probably Better at Sex Than You Think

Today's episode was all about firsts, friendships, and a conversation that might make you feel a little better about yourself. I debriefed my first time going out for drinks with my new coworkers—navigating the unwritten rules, trying to remember everyone's names, and realizing that making new friends as an adult deserves way more credit than it gets. Then we shifted gears into a topic that's been on my mind lately. I came across an article that started with a question a lot of people secretly wonder: What if you're bad at sex? The conversation wasn't about perfection or performance. It was about the myths we believe, the pressure people put on themselves, and why the answer is probably a lot more encouraging than you think. In this episode: * my first coworker happy hour * the awkward fun of making new friends as an adult * why so many people worry they're "bad" at sex * what the research actually says * and giving ourselves a little more grace—in and out of the bedroom This Morning, with Tiff Potter is short daily companion audio—rooted in Cincinnati, made for wherever you are.

The Morning: The Refills Are Free

Today’s episode was a little summer check-in from both sides of the weather spectrum. Here in Cincinnati, the weather has been gorgeous — the kind that makes you feel like you have to get outside before it changes its mind. Meanwhile, France is dealing with the kind of heat that makes you rethink every outfit, every plan, and possibly your entire personality. We also talked about the World Cup stirring up a very specific kind of American nostalgia — the flags, the chants, the sudden soccer experts, the collective “wait, are we doing this now?” energy that seems to show up every few years. And then we got into one of America’s most underrated cultural contributions: free refills. Apparently people have opinions. Strong ones. Because once you realize free refills are not a universal experience everywhere, it makes you look at that second Diet Coke a little differently. In this episode: * gorgeous summer weather in Cincinnati * the brutal heat happening in France * World Cup nostalgia and American soccer energy * why everyone suddenly becomes patriotic during international sports * and the surprisingly emotional debate around free refills This Morning, with Tiff Potter is short daily companion audio — rooted in Cincinnati, made for wherever you are.

This Morning: I GOT MY FIRST PAYCHECK!

It's been a few days, so today felt a little like a catch-up session. I checked in on life, work, and the ongoing adjustment to this new schedule and new chapter. I'm still finding my rhythm, still learning, still feeling a little behind some days — but I'm also trying to give myself some grace. Not every transition has to be mastered immediately. We also took a tour around the internet this weekend. The World Cup has people paying attention to soccer who haven't thought about soccer in years, TSA is once again begging people to behave like functioning adults in airport security lines, and somehow one condiment has become the thing everyone is suddenly obsessed with. And because summer is officially summering, I gave a full review of the movies I've seen in theaters so far this season — the hits, the surprises, and whether leaving the house and paying movie theater prices was actually worth it. In this episode: * adjusting to life after the first few weeks of a new job * giving yourself grace during transitions * World Cup fever * TSA's latest public service announcements * the condiment everyone suddenly loves * and my summer movie report card so far This Morning, with Tiff Potter is short daily companion audio — rooted in Cincinnati, made for wherever you are.

This Morning: We're All Runinng Late

Shortest episode to date. More of a voice note really.

This Morning: Hard Topic Tuesday — So... You're Moving Back In With Your Parents

Today’s Hard Topic Tuesday came from a listener voice note with a question that feels increasingly common: How do you successfully move back in with your parents as an adult? Not necessarily forever. Not because something went wrong. Just because life is expensive, transitions happen, and sometimes the smartest next step isn't the one you imagined for yourself. We talked about the emotional side of it, the practical side of it, and how to maintain your independence while living under the same roof as the people who used to give you a bedtime. Along the way, we also addressed what I believe is a major oversight by our Founding Fathers: Why wasn't America's birthday in 2025? Think about it. The symmetry. The branding. The clean numbers. We missed an incredible opportunity. In this episode: * a listener question about moving back in with parents * maintaining independence as an adult * navigating a temporary season without feeling stuck * family dynamics and changing expectations * and why America's birthday should have been a much more aesthetically pleasing number This Morning, with Tiff Potter is short daily companion audio — rooted in Cincinnati, made for wherever you are.
