Real Stories. Real Talk. Real Life

No fluff. Just fire.

Hi, I'm Tammy Duran, a storyteller, single mom, professional laugh-crier who has lived through a little bit of everything and learned to laugh through most of it.

I've been through divorce, burnout, raising teenagers, working corporate jobs, chasing freedom, and rebuilding myself more times than I can count. Somewhere between the chaos and the quiet, I found peace. Not perfect peace, but the kind that lets you breathe again.

These days, I share real stories about life, healing, growth, and the messy middle that nobody warns you about. My goal isn't to teach or preach. It's to remind you that you're not alone, and that your story still matters.

The Story Behind "No Fluff. Just Fire."

For most of my life, I tried to be everything for everyone. I wanted to make people happy, keep things smooth, and look like I had it all together. Spoiler: I didn't.

It took a lot of loss, some really hard lessons, and one to many "what am I even doing?" moments to realize I was living for everyone but me.

Now, I live differently. I take adventures in my motorhome, I tell stories from the road, I drink way too much coffee, and I try to keep things real. Because life is too short to pretend you're fine when you're not.

No fluff means no pretending. Just honest talk, healing, laughter, and maybe a few awkward moments along the way.

What You'll Find Here

A Few Things About Me

☕ Coffee is my love language.
🚐 My RV is my favorite therapist.
🐾 I have a Chihuahua named Reba (the Diva) who’s 50% attitude, 50% cuddles.
💻 I used to build websites and funnels, but now I’m more interested in building peace.
🌄 I live in New Mexico, where the sunsets are unreal and the beans and chili are non-negotiable.

If my stories make you laugh, think, or feel a little less alone, then I've done my job.
