Tiffany Nicole Changes Lives for the Better with her Creative Insight Journey Class

At some point in your life, you’ll most likely find yourself stuck in a place that requires you to do some internal research and to enlist external help. Even if you aren’t stuck, there’s a good chance you have a to-do list that you still need to tackle and could use some positive reinforcement and friendly reminders to make shift happen. That’s where personal growth coach Tiffany Nicole shines.

We’ve been fortunate enough to take part in one of her Creative Insight Journey Courses which consists of only 2 hours a week, for 8 weeks. This may hands down be the best thing out there to help transform lives in a period of two months. Witnessing the drastic changes of the other students and also personally experiencing enlightening shifts, is what led me to do this interview of the mastermind herself. We want to help spread the good word so that you are fully aware that YOU TOO can get unstuck and move forward in life – with an enormous amount of hope and a group of new, courageous people who have gone through the change with you and supported you along the way.

Q & A with Tiffany Nicole:

Q: Give us a little background on yourself and what inspired you to teach the Creative Insight Journey Course in Miami.

A: I’m originally from NYC and took the course myself years ago. It changed my entire life, career path and the way I looked at the world. It taught me how to eliminate worry from my life, it’s where I discovered meditation and it brought a more meaningful practice into my every day life.

When I took the course initially I was already having this kind of nudge that my career wasn’t working. The course taught me to not lose my identity to my job. The universe was telling me I craved a deeper connection to human beings and I wanted to connect to people on a level that most people don’t get to experience. While I was on my peer calls, many of the people in my class were resonating with my insights and encouraging me to become a coach. My teacher also recommended I get trained and certified and had me teach the week 7 class while I was still a student. I have been teaching courses going on 3 years now.

Q: Is there a group of students you have had that stood out to you the most and why?

A: Yes! April 26 to June 14 or 2016 really stood out. Every single person was equally immersed in the practice and utilized all of the tools to the fullest. Each of them threw themselves into it and were so absorbed by it, there were huge transformations. The group collective was very powerful. They became the closest group I’ve ever seen. They continue to go out and support each other, attending each other’s birthdays and events, etc. I also have a private online community for the graduates of the Creative Insight Journey course so it’s easy for them to stay in touch and continue on their journey.

Q: Is there any student that really has stood out – any ridiculously amazing transformations?

A: There are always so many amazing transformations of students that it’s hard to pick just one that was the most incredible. I have so many inspiring stories of people overcoming their fears. One that did stand out was a student who was extremely afraid of heights…she ended up bungee jumping off of a building in Brickell and videotaped it so we were able to see it – it was simply amazing!

Q: What is the most rewarding part of teaching these classes?

A: The greatest rewards are the transformations of the students. I can see the ah-ha moments for people during these courses and it’s a beautiful thing to watch because there is hope for that person and they have a new lease on life. The take-away, testimonials, comments…I always hear “this is so relate-able, yet it’s so powerful.” Watching the breakthroughs really is the best part.

Q: Does this ever get boring for you? Do you ever have to change up your teaching styles to keep it interesting?

A: It never gets boring. When you find your purpose, it’s effortless and is as easy as breathing… and feels just as necessary. It’s the greatest thing I could ever imagine doing with my life. The venues I host my Free 90min workshops at are are all different so I’m always exploring various areas of Miami, meeting great business owners and collective creatives who are letting me come into their lives and are trusting me to deliver something that is worth their while. I have so much gratitude for the business owners and students. The amount of people I get to meet and share the tools with is incredible – from all walks of life. Each group is so dynamic, I never know what turn it’s going to take. My teaching styles are very personable and varies per group.

Q: When are your upcoming 8 week Creative Insight Journey courses and where can everyone sign up to attend a FREE workshop?

A: The Creative Insight Journey – is taught at the House of Movement Wellness Mansion on Tuesday evenings 7:30-9:30pm where I am a resident personal growth coach. The mansion is located at 1900 Brickell Ave. www.1900moves.com.

Q: Who can benefit from taking this course?

A: Everyone!! It’s everything we need to learn to be our most successful selves mentally, and spiritually. We need to learn how to live in the present moment it’s the only moment that exists. It gives you an access to peace of mind. We need to learn how to access our intuition this guides us through our life and never steers us in the wrong direction. In order to get unstuck you need to shift your mindset, silence the self sabotage, and be held accountable for how you show up in the world.

From Righchus to Matt Monday – The Rebirth of An Artist

The underground Hip-hop scene in Charleston, South Carolina, is filled with a number of talented artists. Most notably Matt Monday, or the artist formerly known as Righchus. Righchus became a local favorite rather quickly, producing his own music for years, from his home on James Island. After years of working other jobs and pursuing his passion on the side, Matt decided to go ‘all in’ to produce a new album and focus primarily on launching his musical career. The name switch from Righchus to Matt Monday was all part of the plan to reinvent himself and personalize his appearance more, which includes his real first name along with the day of the week in which he used to take piano lessons. Yes, this hip-hop artist has many hidden talents, including playing the piano and the drums.

Staying true to his roots, his new album (Filthy, set to be available on July 22nd) is a fully produced Charleston Album, featuring all types of Charleston Creatives, from the musicians and actors to the photographers and video crew.

Matt’s upcoming release features cool, cultured tracks, including Ramadan, which will be released via his new label, SWIM Clique. He is set to begin touring this fall, launching a series of performances in New York City, where he has been working alongside his mentor Damon Dash. Matt’s appreciation runs deep and he feels blessed to be able to learn from Damon,a seasoned entrepreneur in the music industry. He noted that Damon has very authentic views and that his guidance is enticing and priceless, clearly understanding that wisdom is something money cannot buy.

Matt also sends his appreciation and respects to the amazing people who are helping him to pursue his dream; The Poppington Gallery NYC, Tawna, JT, Black Dave, Exec Producer – Larry Ford, Jr., Randy Roper – Manager, Jeffrey Barry & Mike Santos.

We wish this gifted and driven artist tons of success and are looking forward to his new release. Check out some of our favorite Matt Monday tracks on his SoundCloud at https://soundcloud.com/mattmondaymusic and follow him on Twitter @_MondayMusic.

Artist Douglas Balentine Wins First Place at The Artavita Competition – Los Angeles, CA

Q: Tell us about this contest and how stoked you are to be the only artist selected as the winner out of almost 1,000 entries.

The Artavita Competition is the product of two curators out of Santa Barbara, California who are interested in promoting what they feel to be important art of our time. It is open to artists from all over the world. The winner’s work is showcased at the World Wide Art Los Angeles international art fair.

I am very excited to have won and am grateful for this opportunity.

Q: Where will your work be displayed for this and is it open to the public?

My work will be displayed at the Los Angeles Convention Center from October 16th-19th, 2014. It is open to the public.

Q: How long have you been pursuing your amazing talent as an artist, as your professional career?

I was drawing and painting as long as I can remember without giving it much thought. It became more important over time, especially during adolescence, and after meeting certain key people who had a big influence on me and helped shape my decision to go to art school and pursue it seriously.

Professionally, I began selling my work and executing portrait commissions while in school in New York, Italy, and in my hometown of Charleston, S.C., and have continued to do so ever since the early 90″s, whether directly out of my studio or through various collaborations.

Q: Where is your artwork featured?

My work will be featured at Artfields ( Lake City, S.C.) this month and in StudioVisit in May. Otherwise, It is in many private collections, a couple of museum collections, and publications ranging from the recent issue of Art Mag to New American Paintings, to Lines of Discovery: 225 Years of American Drawings

Q: Do you have a favorite piece you’ve done that you can share with us?

Yes. It’s an elongated rectangular portrait of an African American woman (pictured below) in profile titled Cargo II. The idea was percolating in my mind for a long time. I took Nina ( the name of my friend, the sitter) to the beach and began exploring the possibilities of a portrait in this exaggerated, elongated horizontal format, which should, logically, seem to work against the portrait idea. That’s something I generally like to play with in my work; set something up that seems contradictory (at least to the rational mind) and mine it for something unexpected. I don’t know how, or if it will work when I begin. That’s why this is one of my favorite recent paintings, because, for me, it achieves something strangely beautiful that is unexpected, yet grounded in experience.

Q: Where does your inspiration come from?

It comes from being present. In that state everything is inspiring! The work itself, the decision to engage totally, leads you to that state. In that state everything is experienced so much more deeply. For me a painting is a distillation of all those experiences. It’s meditation.

Q: Tell us something about you that most people don’t know….

You don’t want to know…

Q: Also can you provide us with your contact info?
