She's toiled and fretted over many things in her life, most of which she doesn't have the power to change. Unfortunately, Tiffany has developed a bad habit of internalizing the very things she has no control over. A family vacation could be the breath of fresh air Tiffany so desperately needs, but the family fun and excitement she's expecting soon turns into a rollercoaster ride full of emotional highs and lows. Tiffany never figured she'd be facing the exact same things she ran from her entire life on her family vacation. Her rest and relaxation with her son, Daniel, and her family is soon interrupted as she's forced to face and deal with her past. Tiffany receives more than she bargained for and in order to solidify a positive and thriving future, she'll have to learn the very valuable lesson of "Shedding Baggage."
