Welcome to a deeply meaningful episode of The Amberly Lago Show. In this powerful and heartfelt conversation, I sit down with my dear friend, fellow CRPS warrior, bestselling author, speaker, and suicide loss advocate Tiffaney Lindsey Childers.

Tiffaney doesn't just talk about resilience, she has lived it. After losing both of her parents to suicide and carrying years of suppressed grief and emotional trauma, she found herself navigating unimaginable pain, both emotionally and physically. Through that journey, she discovered that unprocessed grief doesn't just disappear, it finds a way to surface.

In this episode, Tiffaney shares how years of suppressed trauma eventually manifested physically through chronic pain and CRPS after a failed hip surgery. What followed was a powerful awakening that led her to confront the grief she had buried for nearly two decades.

We talk openly about suicide loss, the hidden weight of unresolved trauma, and how silence can keep people stuck in pain far longer than necessary. Tiffaney courageously shares how journaling, walking, community support, and faith became powerful tools in her healing journey and ultimately led her to write her bestselling book The Rise Back.

This conversation is raw, honest, and deeply inspiring. If you have ever experienced grief, trauma, or felt like you were just surviving day to day, this episode will remind you that healing is possible, and that your story can become the very thing that helps someone else find hope.
