You’ve been trying to crack a code that doesn’t exist.
It was built for compliance and was rigged from the start.
From the time you were young, you were handed a playbook: work harder, achieve more, collect your gold stars, don’t question the rules. But here’s the truth: those rules weren’t written for your thriving. They were written to keep you chasing, proving, and performing.
You've tried:
That endless chase was never your failure. It was the system working exactly as designed. The good news? You don’t have to play by those rules anymore.
Productivity hacks and self-help books that left you more exhausted than fulfilled
Color-coded calendars and AI dashboards that organized your time but never gave you space.
Morning routines that feel like punishment instead of rituals that make you feel alive.
More discipline, more consistency, more focus, and more powering through... until even the wins felt hollow.
You’ve just been caught in the false economy of powering through, following a script that doesn't include your happy ending.
It’s time for a completely different curriculum, built around your capacity, your values, and your aliveness.
We’re not talking about more busywork. We’re talking about renewal. And a way of living that leaves you calm, grounded, and awake.
Which looks like:
✓ A new way of being instead of endless lists of things to do
✓ Experiments and recalibrations instead of assignments that get graded on a curve
✓ Clarity, energy, and aliveness you can channel into everything that matters to you
✓ Permission to work, play, rest, and live without guilt or the constant whisper that you’re still not enough
Newsflash: You were never the problem. The rules were.
BECAUSE WINNING THIS GAME iS NOT about acing life on paper. it’s about building a life that finally feels like yours.
introducing...
Why a lab? Because real change doesn’t come from cramming more theory into your head. It comes from trying things out in real life, with all its mess and beauty. (And we're done waiting for things to calm down before we start living, right?)
In this lab, you’ll run real-time experiments every month, find out what works for your actual capacity, and keep what sticks. Think of it as a safe-to-fail studio for your life: hands-on, practical, playful, and designed to spark lasting shifts you can actually live with.
Through this work, you will:
Design a schedule that matches your energy, instead of everyone else’s "emergencies."
Develop a habit of making decisions with clarity, using your values as the filter instead of a color-coded spreadsheet that feels like homework.
Build rhythms that give you energy back (even when life gets busy!) so you stop running on fumes.
Meet uncertainty with resilience instead of late-night Googling “best productivity hacks” and spiraling into Amazon cart regret.

5.
Integrate your ambition with play, so you can be the CEO who gets equally lit up over work wins AND stickers in the mail.
6.
Honor your actual capacity both on the days you’re on fire and the days you’re only good for snacks and Netflix.
7.
Learn to trust yourself (really, truly, even when life gets messy!) so you stop outsourcing your decisions to “what you should do” and start living from what you know is right.
And all of this means you'll never again have to wonder if you’re wasting your one wild, precious life. Starting now.
**This isn’t another course you’ll finish and forget. It’s a living lab where experiments turn into habits, and habits turn into a life that feels spacious, alive, and sustainable.
By the end of the year, you won’t just have learned twelve new concepts, you’ll have lived them. Tested them. Folded them into the texture of your everyday life until they feel natural.
Each month builds on the last, layering experiments, shifts, and perspectives so your new way of living becomes second nature.

Oh and...
sneak a peek!
Tiffany Han’s secret sauce is making big, important, heavy things feel light and fun and playful…which is why it was no surprise to me that Grown-Up Gap Year was what *finally* helped me disconnect from my Productivity Above All mindset.
My life now feels slower, calmer, more playful and intentional - and I have lots of tools to help me when I feel tempted to go back to my old ways. I highly recommend a Grown-Up Gap Year if you’re also suffering from a life full of external pressures while yearning for one with internal fulfillment.

Grown-Up Gap Year starts October 6
Registration ends OCT 17
The only question left is: are you ready to give yourself a year to do life differently?
If you show up and do the work for 90 days and don’t notice a shift in your clarity, capacity, or energy, I’ll personally work with you 1:1 to get you back on track. And if after that you still don’t feel momentum, I’ll refund your investment.
"I have more time for myself, marriage, and kids while also graduating with my doctorate, purchasing my dream house, and just adopting a new and EASIER lifestyle."
Running, running, running but getting nowhere?! It's not just you!
This is about really looking within, recognising the truth of yourself and starting to listen to how that inner voice needs to inform how you work and live.
I used to measure my fragile self worth by how productive I was. I was permanently exhausted and full of anxiety but I wore my 'busy-ness' as a badge of honour.
When I realised I didn't have to do all the things all of the time and that my worth wasn't measured in to-do lists, it was a revelation. I'm learning to be the me I always was, but had lost somewhere along the way.
I don’t feel apologetic about everything anymore. I don’t second guess my decisions or my judgement. I'm trusting that I have the right answers for me and that my own voice is one worth listening to.”
I have begun to trust myself in a way I have not before. This is personal growth work without too much woo-woo that can be as big or as little as you need to be."
...and care for myself in ways that bring a deep sense of peace and space. Small moments of noticing things within me have brought about a wonderful sense of allowance and surrender and a solid sense of being grounded.
Every month and every week I looked forward to hearing from Tiffany. She helps you give yourself permission to discover and do what you really want im the midst of all of life’s busy-ness. Listening to her feels like a deep breath of fresh air and if you want to hit pause on your life without having the actual luxury of doing so, GUGY is a wonderful experience to help you navigate life and see things differently so that you can thrive while embracing life’s abundance and obstacles.
"I breathe more. I have dance parties in my kitchen. There is a different way to do this—that feels good and doesn't require me to push or hustle or contort myself."

Frequently Asked Questions:
Gah! A whole year?! What if it’s uncomfortable? What if I can’t keep up?
Gah! A whole year?! What if it’s uncomfortable? What if I can’t keep up?
Friend, that’s the point. A year gives you time to practice, wobble, and come back to yourself without cramming all the change into a six-week sprint. You’ll be uncomfortable (in the best way), because you’re living it instead of just thinking about it. And nope, you don’t have to ditch your ambition. We’ll just redefine it so it includes ease, delight, and space.
I feel like I’m drowning. Is this right for me?
I feel like I’m drowning. Is this right for me?
If you’re in a permanent state of “I can’t breathe,” this probably isn’t the season for you. But if your overwhelm feels temporary or is circumstantial—a busy patch, a rough season—this work can be a lifeline back to yourself. You need just enough spark to show up.
When's the next round?
When's the next round?
I'm not sure. This is the first time I've opened the doors to this program since 2023, and while it's possible I might run it again next year, I can't say for certain that I will.
This might also be the last time I run it in this format, with this level of live support calls.
If I get stuck on something, what are my support options?
If I get stuck on something, what are my support options?
You’re not doing this alone. You’ll have 2 live calls each month, plus the chance to submit questions anytime and get answers within one business day. And yes, you’ll get real mail too: workbooks, trackers, surprises, and stickers to keep you grounded and delighted.
What's the refund policy?
What's the refund policy?
If you show up during our first three months—really show up—and this work hasn't shifted things for you, I'll work with you 1:1 to get you back on track. After that, if you're still not feeling momentum by Jan 31, 2026, I'll refund you.
Are the calls recorded?
Are the calls recorded?
Yep. Every call is recorded, and you'll get video, audio, and transcripts. You'll also get a private podcast feed so you can catch up on your commute, a walk, or while folding laundry. Which means that when you inevitably fall behind, you'll be able to get caught up easy peasy!
How do I know if I’m ready? And what if I’m scared to invest?
How do I know if I’m ready? And what if I’m scared to invest?
Here’s the thing: nobody ever feels 100% “ready.” If you’re waiting for the perfect time, you’ll be waiting forever. What matters is whether you’re done spinning your wheels and willing to try a different way.
And being scared to invest? Totally normal. It means you’re taking yourself seriously. This isn’t about buying another course you’ll never finish, it’s a year of actual support, structure, and momentum. If your gut says yes but your brain is nervous, that’s usually a sign you’re right on the edge of growth.

Wait, I have more Qs!
Wait, I have more Qs!
If you’ve still got questions, let’s clear them up. Email me anytime, book a quick chat if talking it through feels easier. You’ll know if this is right for you — I’m just here to help you decide. or reach out to me on voxer (I'm @thetiffanyhan).
And now, let me turn the tables and ask you a final Q:
How would your life look and feel different—right now, today—if you were firmly rooted in radical self- belief and made all your decisions from that place?
How would your life look and feel different —right now, today—if you showed up to everything (the good, the bad, the miraculous, the ugly!) remembering that you’re a wildly creative person who’s smart and infinitely capable, and let that energy inform everything.
"This gap year is all about you, you, you...
And it doesn't require anything except the willingness to free fall and choose your own adventure. As much as I can't technically free myself from my family, it has been pretty awesome to be on a secret gap year mission. I appreciate all of the ideas that allow me to find moments in my day to be awesome and make choices that let me be me."
Elizabeth
Yes, It Really Works
"I love Tiffany's coaching style and the ongoing support helps me stay onboard the believing-in-me train.
I can accept much better that my body needs naps, my brain needs journaling and my heart needs boundaries. A year ago my inner critic wasn't having any of it."
Marianne
"Grown-Up Gap Year is like a friend holding your hand walking you toward your most true and beautiful life.
This year has helped me see, feel, understand, remember, and embody two critical things: 1. I can do this (whatever this is), and 2. There is no *right way,* there is only *right for me right now.*"
