Tiffany Franklin, FNP-C | Founder, Blu Vitamin Infusions
Today on the Buckle Up Podcast, we were honored to welcome Tiffany Franklin, a board-certified Nurse Practitioner and the powerhouse behind Blu Vitamin Infusions, a boutique medspa in Matthews, NC. Originally from Memphis, TN, Tiffany became a mother at 17 and used that experience as a driving force to build a remarkable life and career.
In our conversation, Tiffany opened up about her journey through nursing school, becoming a nurse practitioner, and raising two children with her husband—all while defying the odds and staying grounded in her faith and purpose. She shared powerful advice for young and single mothers, offering encouragement and information about the same programs and support systems that helped her thrive.
Tiffany also gave us an inside look at her growing business, diving deep into regenerative aesthetics, PRP therapy, and holistic wellness practices. Her mission is to empower clients—especially women and men of color—to reclaim confidence and invest in their own healing.
Her story is one of grit, purpose, and resilience. We were truly inspired by her spirit, strength, and refusal to make excuses. Tiffany is the definition of rising to every occasion.
“We didn’t know it all— we learned with love, led with kindness, and earned our way to the top.”
