We recently connected with Tiffany Diane and have shared our conversation below.
Tiffany, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Can you tell us about a time where you or your team really helped a customer get an amazing result?
“Your LIFE can change for the better when you know it to be true and then take action.” – Tiffany Diane
At LaNirvana, we value each customer experience and their end objectives while using our products. We have received many successful stories, however, the story that is my TOP favorite happens to be my Husband’s, Lional. Heres why… God was present the entire time.
In January 2020, after thinking he was suffering from a heart attack, Lional was rushed to the ER and was advised he had end-stage renal failure, he was immediately put on dialysis. Lional was getting dialysis three times a week for over a year and a half, often spending nights away from us in the hospital suffering with everything from hypertension to pain and everything in between. Lional was truly in a fight for his life. This was SUCH a terrifying and trying time for our family. Not only did I have to become the number one caretaker for our two young children, but I now had become Lional’s caretaker as well. Overnight I went from a successful business owner, mom and wife, to a nurse, chef, cab driver, secretary, maid, and everything else in between, while trying to keep my business afloat. It was an extremely stressful time. I knew my number one priority was my family and I needed to get clear on how I could help Lional. I often spent time with Lional in my safe haven (meditation room) that’s filled with LaNirvana goodies. We meditated, prayed together to call in healing energy, and clarity and I also facilitated many sound bath meditations for him. As days went by, I spent MANY sleepless nights researching and finding ways we could help find him a kidney. It wasn’t until I found an old professional photo of Lional with the Living Legacy Foundation in Maryland that I knew I had hit gold. I immediately set up a meeting with the LLF and Lional and we developed a strategy to find Lional a kidney.
In April 2021, we orchestrated a team of friends, family and outside agents to work together to initiate a plan that would let as many people as possible know that Lional needed a new kidney. After brainstorming sessions, lots of discussions, and in between many, many doctors’ appointments, we created a strategy around the theme, a new kidney for Jelly Roll.
By the end of April, Lional’s story had gone viral. Fans from all over the country were sending him well wishes, sharing his story, and offering to give him one of their kidneys. Reporters were anxious to tell Lional’s story, from local podcasts to Sports Illustrated and ESPN, Lional’s need for a kidney was being heard loud and clear.
On August 25th 2021, Lional received the call that would change his life. A match was found. Lional & I had to fly immediately from our home in Atlanta, to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, MD. Lional underwent the four-hour procedure and came out stronger than before. It was a long recovery filled with lots of emotions. I’d be lying if I said it was easy. It wasn’t. However, we worked through it all, and the kidney and Lional are thriving.
Lional and I started the nonprofit, Jelly Roll’s Gift of Life. Jelly Roll Gift of Life is a 501 c3 non-profit organization focused on supporting organ donors and recipients who may need support, both financially, and otherwise, along their journey. Gift of Life is a nationwide organization, focused primarily on the great need of residents living in and around the Baltimore and Atlanta areas. Medical expenses associated with living donor evaluations are typically covered however, anything that falls outside of the transplant center’s donor evaluation is not covered by insurance. These costs could include annual physicals, travel, lodging, lost wages and other non-medical expenses. These costs are sometimes difficult if not impossible for living donors, which can deter some from donating a life-saving organ. Jelly Roll Gift of Life wants to help ensure that every donor, has every cost associated with donating covered. Whether it’s travel costs, lost employment wages, gas, or meal expenses, Gift of Life’s mission is to have donors worry less about the financial strain and focus more on staying healthy and strong for their procedure. Gift of Life also focuses on raising awareness for organ donation as a whole and educating people of all ages, about the importance of being an organ donor.
Tiffany, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
Yes! My name is Tiffany Diane. I am a mother of two beautiful young girls, a wife, serial entrepreneur, philanthropist, creator and Reiki + Sound Healer. After spending over a decade of buying and selling homes in Detroit and Florida, I became an advocate for self-love and maintaining a healthy mental balance. In 2018, I created La Nirvana Organics, a company that offers products such as intention candles, herbs, and crystals that promote holistic healing for the mind and body. I am also an avid traveler who enjoys sharing and practicing self-care through yoga, sound bath meditation, and reiki healing.
How did you put together the initial capital you needed to start your business?
Honestly, I started my business with $500.00 and a business plan. I spent over three months figuring out how to truly master candle making and become a business owner in retail. While traveling to over ten countries in eight months in 2017, I returned to the states pregnant with Sade. I was desperate to continue my self-care journey and create an altar space for myself, which is how LaNirvanaOrganics.com was born. Due to the fact that my husband is extremely allergic to harmful chemicals, I had a vision and decided to hand-pour non-toxic, pure natural candles for my altar space in order to show up daily for self-care. As I grew during my own wellness journey, so did my product offerings. I began creating products and branding online.
Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?
I am so thankful for the LaNirvana tribe. They really support myself and Brand. Honestly, staying consistent is key and be yourself! The majority of our members, almost 80%, come from Instagram and Pinterest.
