Meet Dr. Tiffany R Harris, Ph.D | Speaker/Coach

We had the good fortune of connecting with Dr. Tiffany R Harris, Ph.D and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Dr. Tiffany R, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
As someone who has overcome significant personal and professional obstacles, my journey toward starting Shift Your Mindset & Dream BIG LLC was deeply rooted in purpose, faith, and a desire to help others unlock their potential. I realized early on that many people—especially women, minorities, and those in underserved communities—struggle not because they lack talent or vision, but because they’ve been conditioned to think small, settle, or survive rather than thrive.

I asked myself: What would happen if more people had the tools, support, and mindset to dream big and believe in their power? That question became the heartbeat of my mission.

Starting this business wasn’t just about entrepreneurship—it was about creating a movement. I wanted to design a platform that empowered individuals to shift limiting beliefs, embrace healing, develop unshakable confidence, and boldly pursue their God-given purpose. My background in social work and psychology gave me the foundation, but my faith and life experiences gave me the fire.

Ultimately, Shift Your Mindset & Dream BIG LLC was born from a deep conviction: that transforming the way people think is the first step to transforming the way they live.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Shift Your Mindset & Dream BIG LLC is more than a business—it’s a movement rooted in purpose, healing, and transformation. We specialize in mindset coaching, motivational speaking, and personal development programs that empower individuals—especially women and minorities—to shift their thinking, embrace their value, and pursue their purpose with boldness and faith.

What sets us apart is our heart-centered approach. I don’t just teach mindset principles from a textbook—I live them. With my background in social work, psychology, and personal experience, I’ve crafted a unique blend of spiritual wisdom, practical tools, and emotional insight that speaks to the whole person. Every workshop, coaching session, and speaking engagement is designed to challenge, uplift, and ignite.

Getting here wasn’t easy. Like many entrepreneurs, I’ve faced seasons of doubt, lack of support, financial strain, and internal battles. I’ve cried through moments of burnout and prayed through times of uncertainty. But I refused to quit. I leaned into my faith, surrounded myself with people who saw the vision, and reminded myself of why I started. Every challenge became a classroom, and every setback was a setup for a greater comeback.

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is that your mindset truly determines your altitude. You can have all the talent in the world, but if your mind isn’t aligned with your purpose, you’ll stay stuck. I’ve also learned that it’s okay to ask for help, to rest, and to start over if needed.

What I want the world to know is this: Shift Your Mindset & Dream BIG was built with real people in mind—those who are tired of surviving and ready to start thriving. My story is one of pain turned into purpose, and I use that journey to remind others that no matter where you’ve been, you can rewrite your future. All it takes is a shift—and the courage to dream BIG.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Okay, I’ll be honest—I’m a homebody at heart, so the first thing I’d probably do is phone a friend to help me put together a solid itinerary! 😂 But once we got the plan rolling, we’d definitely mix in some good vibes, great food, and chill experiences.

We’d start the week off at City Winery in Center City. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy live music, sip a nice glass of wine, and indulge in a good meal. The ambiance is cozy yet vibrant—right up my alley for a night out that still feels relaxed.

Mid-week, we’d step things up a bit and head to Wilson’s Restaurant and Live Music Lounge, just outside of Philly. Now that spot is a vibe! Think mature ambiance, soulful live performances, delicious food, and yes—a dance floor for when the music gets too good to stay seated. It’s the perfect place to laugh, dance, and make unforgettable memories.

And of course, somewhere during the week, we’d keep it simple with a movie night at the Flourtown movie theatre. The reclining seats are a whole experience in themselves—comfort meets cinema! It’s a great low-key way to wind down and catch up over popcorn and a good film.

For everything in between, we’d probably throw in a few spa moments, some coffee shop conversations, and maybe even a walk through a local park. Because at the end of the day, for me, it’s not just about the places—it’s about the people, the energy, and creating space to be fully present.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Absolutely. I would not be the woman, leader, or visionary I am today without the love, support, and presence of my tribe. First and foremost, I want to shoutout my mother, who has been my greatest supporter since day one. Her unwavering belief in me, even in moments when I doubted myself, gave me the strength to keep going. She taught me resilience, grace, and how to show up with excellence—no matter the circumstances.

To my husband, thank you for being my rock. You show up for me daily, and your constant encouragement pushes me to Dream BIGGER every single time. You believe in the vision just as much as I do, and that’s something I’ll never take for granted.

And to my daughter, you are—and will always be—my “WHY.” Every goal I set, every stage I step on, every life I touch… it’s all driven by the desire to show you what’s possible when faith meets action. You fuel me to give 110%, not just for me, but for the legacy I want to leave behind for you.

This journey may have my name on it, but it’s been built on the shoulders of those who love me unconditionally. This shoutout is for them.
