Tiffany Johnson

Tiffany Johnson is an Australian author, screenwriter, children’s media creator and keynote speaker based in Melbourne, whose life’s work is helping people find their own brilliance and bravery.

In 1999, Tiffany survived the Swiss Canyoning Disaster, which took the lives of twenty-one young people from Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, South Africa and Switzerland. In the years that followed, she rebuilt her life with determination, resilience and bravery, working through life-long injuries, PTSD and survivor’s guilt. One of the key tools that helped her was a journal.

She shared that journey in her internationally bestselling memoir, Brave Enough Now: An Inspirational Story of Self-Discovery, Survival and Hope, launched at Parliament House in Victoria. Sandra Pankhurst, subject of the bestselling The Trauma Cleaner, called it “a MUST read.”

Tiffany’s story has reached audiences around the world. She has featured across Australian and international media, including Channel 7 News, Sunrise, SBS, the ABC and European television, and has been a guest on more than 170 podcasts globally. Her writing has appeared in the Medtronic blog and Diabetes Australia’s national publication, Circle.

As a screenwriter and member of the Australian Writers’ Guild, Tiffany develops feature films and children’s television, bringing the same heart and courage to the screen. As a keynote speaker, she captivates audiences with humour and honesty, sharing the tools she has used to move through trauma.

Tiffany has journaled since she was six years old. Her new series, Discovering Your Journals, brings together what she has learned: Discovering Your Brave, Discovering Your Dreams and Discovering Your Power Within. Each journal features her own artwork of Australian native flowers, and each is a gentle, practical space to reflect, dream and grow.

She is also an intuitive with more than twenty years’ experience and Level 2 Reiki training. When she is not writing or painting, Tiffany loves to sing and cook in her kitchen in Victoria with her husband, their two children and two friendly, bouncy dogs.

Her hope is simple: that her books help you, as journaling has helped her, to live a brave life.
