She's not buying the "perfect life" lie

Ever wondered what it would really take to host your own retreat in the Smokies? We just built a tool that lets you paint the picture: explore costs, options, and experiences at Wild Woods Retreat, and even start dreaming up your own event. Play with it here: Wildly Successful Retreat Experience.

Why am I so excited about this? Because just like our guest Tiffany Simms, I believe time in nature isn’t optional. It’s the key to clarity, creativity, and redefining success on your own terms.

This week’s feature proves it. Tiffany walked away from a high-powered career to help ambitious women discover what it means to actually feel good in the life they’ve built.

Tiffany Simms once sat in a boardroom surrounded by people she thought she wanted to become. They had the job titles, the corner offices, the big paychecks. From the outside, they looked like winners. But Tiffany noticed the cracks. Broken families. Declining health. Miserable teams.

And in that moment, she asked herself the question most of us spend a lifetime avoiding: Is this really success?

Her answer changed everything.

From Nuclear Chemist to Modern Woman

Before coaching women through life’s chaos, Tiffany was literally keeping the lights on as a nuclear chemist. A high-pressure, male-dominated career where everything was due yesterday. The kind of job people brag about at dinner parties.

Except Tiffany was miserable. She’d already battled eating disorders, burnout, and the constant pressure to do more. No matter how much she achieved, the payoff was emptiness. Eventually, she realized she wasn’t the problem. The definition of success was.

So she did something wild: she walked away.

Why High Achievers Feel Empty

Tiffany works with women who check all the boxes: career, family, the car, even the lawnmower. (Yes, she includes that one.) On paper, it’s perfect. Inside? They’re running on fumes.

Society tells women to hustle harder, prove independence, and never ask for help. Tiffany calls it a trap. “We’re taught to add and add and add,” she says. “But nobody taught us how to subtract so we can actually live.”

That realization became the heartbeat of The Modern Woman Society, her year-long coaching program and membership. It isn’t about quick fixes or cookie-cutter advice. It’s about recalibrating what success even means and creating harmony across health, relationships, and money without the guilt trip.

The GPS You Actually Need

Tiffany talks about building a “life GPS.” Not the kind that yells at you when you miss an exit. This one sets your true destination and helps you course-correct when life inevitably throws you off track.

She refuses to hand out recipes for how to live. Instead, she teaches women to write their own, using the ingredients they already have. Because life will always “life.” The magic is learning to navigate it without losing yourself.

Messy by Design

If Tiffany’s journey sounds neat and tidy now, she’s quick to correct that assumption. Her story includes failed MLM ventures, trial-and-error as a Beachbody coach, and plenty of detours that felt pointless at the time. Only later did she see how each messy step built the foundation for what she does today.

“It’s not linear,” she says. “Life comes with side quests you don’t even know are important until years later.”

That perspective is exactly what her clients need to hear. Because when they’re in the thick of failure or doubt, Tiffany reminds them it’s part of the process. Growth is supposed to be uncomfortable.

Nature as Her Secret Weapon

When Tiffany gets stuck, she doesn’t stare harder at a spreadsheet. She goes for a walk by the river with her dog. Sunlight recharges her. Water grounds her. Those outdoor resets have sparked everything from breakthrough business ideas to the decision to raise capital for her company.

It’s not escapism. It’s strategy. She’s practiced it so many times that clarity shows up even when she isn’t looking for it.

And that’s the point. Success doesn’t come from forcing answers. It comes from creating space for them to arrive.

Redefining What Winning Looks Like

Through her coaching, speaking, and The Modern Woman Society, Tiffany is rewriting the rules. Success isn’t about sacrifice, burnout, or pretending the highlight reel is real life. It’s about building a version of success that actually feels good to live.

Because what’s the point of winning if it costs you your health, your joy, or your relationships?
