Tiffany Mason, Chief Financial Officer at Block, has spoken about her experience of being sexually molested and exploited seven years ago, describing it as a crossroad where she decided to view the situation as an opportunity to grow rather than allowing it to negatively affect her life. She has stated that she faced negativity, guilt, shame, and humiliation, including hearing from others that she was "not good enough" and that "it was your fault." Mason said she believes every challenge in life is a lesson and that adversity can be viewed as an opportunity to become a better person. Mason has also discussed her work-life balance as a full-time employee, full-time mother of two children (one in college and one at home), and owner of a side business that keeps her working seven days a week. She described herself as a "type A personality" who tries to "do it all" but acknowledged that she sacrifices her well-being and self-care because she is constantly giving to others. Mason said she has problems letting go of control and trusting others to do things right, which she described as defeating herself. She has led workshops focusing on three strategies: living in alignment with one's values, prioritizing the day, and nourishing one's inner being. Mason has also authored a book titled *The Power of Adversity*, available on Amazon.
“I was at a crossroad and basically I had to figure out okay am I going to allow this situation to negatively affect the rest of my life or am I going to view this as an opportunity to grow and develop and that's exactly what I did.”
“You're not good enough, it was your fault. So obviously it is difficult but at the end of the day do you want to live within the past or do you want to be able to expand your options and look towards the future?”
“I have one in college, I have one that still needs me at home who's young, I have my own business on the side that keeps me working seven days a week and of course type A personality I can do it all.”
“We're constantly wearing so many different hats and it's easy to sacrifice our well-being, our self-care because we're constantly giving to other people.”
“With this workshop we're going to focus on three specific strategies: number one it's to live in alignment with your values, number two it's to prioritize your day, and number three it's to start nourishing your inner being.”
“I'm trying to take off the super mom, super nurse cape. I want to be able to put some of the responsibilities in other people's hands but because I don't trust anyone to do it right, yes because my way is the only right way, so I'm defeating myself.”
“You have two options: you have the option of viewing whatever your current situation in a negative way or as a positive way. How can I take a step back and ask myself how can I learn from this situation, how can I grow from this opportunity?”
“Every challenge in life is a lesson to learn from. Look at it as an opportunity to grow. How can I view this adversity as an opportunity that will make me a better person, make me a better mother, make me a better sister and just move forward?”
“I believe everything happens for a reason. If it's good, if it's bad, everything happens for a reason and you could always take a piece of wisdom from everything that you experience in life and implement that into your life so that you can continue going on your journey and continue to start designing the life that you...”
