About Tiffaney

Tiffaney Lindsey Childers is a suicide loss survivor, author, speaker, and LOSS Team advocate based in Amarillo, Texas. After spending approximately 20 years in accounting, she began a powerful transition into advocacy and public speaking following the devastating loss of both of her parents to suicide. Her lived experience became the foundation for her mission to bring awareness, hope, and healing to others navigating grief and trauma. She is the author of The Rise Back: Reclaiming Life After Suicide Loss, Pain, and Silence, a bestselling memoir that blends her personal story with guidance for those walking through loss. Alongside her writing, Tiffaney actively speaks at events, podcasts, and conferences, using her voice to break stigma around suicide loss and to remind others that they are not alone. She also serves with the Amarillo Area LOSS Team, offering immediate, compassionate support to families in the aftermath of suicide. In her growing public platform, Tiffaney is focused on expanding her impact through speaking engagements, advocacy work, and continued storytelling. Her upcoming appearances, including the Unstoppable Success Summit, reflect her commitment to turning pain into purpose and creating spaces where healing conversations can happen openly. Through her work, she continues to honor her belief that even after unimaginable loss, it is possible to rise back and rebuild a life with truth and purpose.

Her Interview

Ten minutes with Tiffaney

01What do you attribute your success to?

I attribute my success to sharing my story, because I realized that holding in my experience of suicide loss wasn’t helping anyone, and that by opening up, I could possibly start to help others find their way out of darkness.

02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?

When I started writing my book and breaking the silence that I had lived in for decades, I received advice that really changed everything for me. The advice was - Your story is ABOUT you, but it's not FOR you - it is for others, to help them out of the darkness. That wisdom gave me the courage to share what I had been keeping silent for so long, and it has become the foundation of my work as an author and speaker.

03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?

Follow your gut. Pay attention to what actually fulfills you—not just what looks good on paper. If you build a life around something that leaves you empty, it will catch up to you. Choose the work that gives you meaning, even if it doesn’t make the most money right away.

04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?

The biggest challenge in the speaking and author space is visibility. There’s a lot of noise, and meaningful work can easily get overlooked. My focus is cutting through that by sharing honest, real conversations about suicide loss, because the people who need it aren’t looking for polished, they are looking for truth.

05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?

Honesty, authenticity (being your authentic self) and integrity are the values that matter most to me in both my work and personal life.
