Today we’d like to introduce you to Dr. Tiffany Tajiri.
Hi Dr. Tiffany, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
The greatest fear in the world is the opinion of others, and the moment that you become unafraid of the crowd, is the moment you are free to create with no limits.
Throughout my life, I sacrificed my creativity to please the public and earn their respect through accolades. I obtained my doctorate degree, board certification, served as an officer in the Air Force, published books, made American history, created my own treatment modalities, and became Dr. America. I suppose I did many of these things to prove myself worthy…
While fixated on public opinion, I completely deprived my weird inner child of everything that made her happy, because she is EXTRA & TOTALLY UNCONVENTIONAL. To set her free, I had to deprogram my people pleasing mentality, but it was so worth it. Life is not about changing yourself to fit-in to the crowd. It’s about fully embracing who you are and belonging amongst those who value your authenticity—because in this space, you feel safe to create whatever your heart desires.
In 2024, I introduced the world to THE COLORFUL PSYCHOLOGIST. My mission is to inspire people to create their divine design for their perfect self-expression. My social media content is colorful, playful, and vibrant. I teach on the topics of psychology and neuroscience. I use my creative talents in dance, acting, and music to convey my message. Freedom Rhythm: E-motion Focused Movement goes hand-in-hand with the message of THE COLORFUL PSYCHOLOGIST. Freedom Rhythm is a methodology I created to help people productively process their emotions through movement. It uses a variety of silks to project our emotions in a beautiful and vibrant way creating a story that sets us free.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Ever since I was a child I knew in my heart that I was supposed obtain a doctorate degree to help heal people. This part of the journey was smooth because there is a metaphorical road map to follow to obtain a doctorate degree. Thereafter, I had to choose my speciality. I ended up serving as a doctor and officer in the Air Force for many years, followed by working for government service. This experience taught me more than I could have ever imagined and I am grateful for it. Through a series of twists and turns, and hard reality checks, I had to finally acknowledge that this line of work was emotionally & physically depleting me. I was an undercover creative while serving the government. This lack of authenticity took a toll. My husband encouraged me to redefine myself by breaking free from all the “people pleasing” programs I was operating on. This freedom meant leaving government service to find myself. I am so grateful I took his advice. I used to be a professional ballet dancer, musician, and actress . I always wondered why I as so passionate about the performing arts and ended up in government service. Finally, I had the opportunity to unite all my passions through Freedom Rhythm and The Colorful Psychologist. It was a breath of fresh air. Now, I am working on getting my message out to the world. It is a blessing! I feel free.
