Hey Friend!
Ever walked into your closet and thought, “I have nothing to wear,” even though it’s packed with clothes? It’s not that you don’t have options—it’s that nothing fits the way it used to.
That’s what this episode is about. You’ve built success. You’ve followed the plan. But now? Something feels off. You’re in a new season—and what used to work no longer fits. That doesn’t mean you’re lost. It means you’re ready for clarity.
Today, we’re wiping the fog off the mirror and introducing the Purpose Archetype—a tool that helps you name what’s been holding you back and identify the unique way you’re currently relating to your purpose. It’s not a personality quiz. It’s a seasonal snapshot that can change everything.
“Your Purpose Archetype is the mirror and the map: it shows you what’s going on beneath the surface—and points you toward what’s possible.”- Tami Imlay

Hey Friend!
Ever feel like you're stuck in a cage of your own making? In today’s episode, I share a personal moment—watching bald eagles soar in Oklahoma—that reminded me how often we let self-doubt clip our wings. We talk about how to trade fear for freedom using my FLY framework and why believing in yourself isn’t pride—it’s obedience when you’re walking in your God-given calling.
If you've been questioning your ability, hesitating on your dream, or feeling caged by comparison, this one’s for you.
"Self-doubt is a cage with an open door—you're free to fly anytime you choose." ~Tami Imlay

👉 Discover your Purpose Archetype now:TamiMarieCoaching.com/quiz

- Self-doubt isn’t truth—it’s protection disguised as logic.
- The reason self-doubt shows up? Because you haven’t fully grasped the power of your strengths and your source.
- Learn the FLY framework to shift from doubt to self-belief:
- Face the fear
- Let go of limiting beliefs
- Yes to bold action
✨ The One Thing You Don’t Want to Miss:
➡️ The FLY model—how to face the lies of self-doubt and rewire your mindset to reflect who God says you are, not what fear says you’re not.
💪 Challenge if you choose to accept it:
What’s one decision or opportunity you’ve been holding back on because of self-doubt?
Choose one small step today to move toward it—and take it. Action breaks the cage.

#296 You’re Already Building a Legacy—But Is It Aligned with Your Purpose?
Monday Mar 31, 2025
Monday Mar 31, 2025
Hey Friend!
Today’s episode is a heart-stirring one. We’re talking about legacy—not just what you’ll leave behind when you’re gone, but how you're showing up right now. I share some personal reflections, a powerful story about Chadwick Boseman (yes, Black Panther himself!), and a model you can use today to start living a life that truly matters.
Whether you’re in a season of wondering what’s next or you’re already building something beautiful and just need clarity on where it’s headed—this episode is for you.
Let’s stop building monuments and start making ripples. 💛
"You don’t have to wait until the end of your life to start building your legacy—you just have to live like it matters now." `Tami Imlay
Want to Go Deeper?
Take my 7-question clarity quiz to understand what’s keeping you stuck and how to move forward with confidence. It only takes 3 minutes and will give you instant insight into your next steps!
👉 TamiMarieCoaching.com/quiz
🔑 Key Takeaways:
- Monuments fade, but ripples live on. A life of intention leaves a lasting impact far beyond material success or recognition.
Legacy isn’t someday. You are already creating one—make sure it aligns with what truly matters to you. - Use the LEGACY framework to intentionally build a life that inspires, uplifts, and impacts others.
- Chadwick Boseman didn’t wait—he lived with urgency, purpose, and generosity even while privately battling cancer.
- You don’t need a platform or a following to make a difference—your everyday moments matter more than you realize.
The One Thing You Don’t Want to Miss:
➡️ The LEGACY framework—a powerful model that shows you how to turn your values and life story into meaningful impact, starting today.
💪 Challenge if you choose to accept it:
Pick one area of your life—your work, your family, your community—and ask:
“What’s one intentional action I can take this week to start living my legacy?”
Don’t overthink it. Send a kind text. Volunteer an hour. Share your story. Mentor someone. The ripple starts with you.
Journal Prompt for Reflection:
"What do I want people to say about me when I’m gone—and what needs to change now to make that true?"

Hey Friend!
You are in for a treat today! I sat down with my friend, fellow neuro coach, and soon-to-be my health coach—Alisha Carlson—and we had a powerful conversation about what it really means to live a healthy, aligned life. If you’ve ever felt trapped in a cycle of diets, shame, or trying to force your body into something that doesn’t feel like you... this one’s for you.
We’re flipping the script on health. No more dieting from a place of pressure. This episode is all about self-awareness, grace, and learning to nourish your body for long-term impact—not short-term perfection.
“It’s not about what you’re doing, it’s about the heart and intention behind it.” — Alisha Carlson
Want to Go Deeper?
Take my 7-question clarity quiz to understand what’s keeping you stuck and how to move forward with confidence. It only takes 3 minutes and will give you instant insight into your next steps!
Key Takeaways:
- Dieting is often just disguised pressure—we need to examine our why before chasing weight goals.
- Weight loss and fat loss are not the same. Prioritize strength and muscle-building over the number on the scale.
- Undereating and overexercising can stall your progress, not speed it up.
- Healthy habits are rooted in sustainability, not restriction.
- You don’t need to overhaul your life—small, consistent shifts are more powerful than crash diets or 30-day “fixes.”
The One Thing You Don’t Want to Miss:
➡️ The mindset shift that transformed Alisha’s own journey—from obsessive dieting to building a strong, joy-filled life. Her “aha moment” in the kitchen will give you chills (in the best way!).
💪 Challenge for Listeners (are you in or are you out?)
This week, ask yourself honestly:
“Why am I pursuing this health goal?”
Then, shift your intention. Start fueling your body instead of punishing it. What’s one simple thing you can do to take care of yourself today?
Journal Prompt for Reflection:
“If I trusted my values over others’ expectations, what would I say yes to—and what would I let go of?”

Hey Friend!
Have you ever felt like you’re just going through the motions—checking off boxes, fulfilling obligations—but deep down, something feels… off? Like you’re living a life that doesn’t quite fit? If so, you’re not alone. So many of us get caught up in doing what’s expected—what’s practical, what’s responsible—without ever stopping to ask: Is this actually aligned with who I am and what truly matters?
Today, we’re hitting pause on autopilot and diving into what it means to live a life of alignment—one that reflects your deepest values and purpose. We’ll talk about why so many of us end up on the conveyor belt of life instead of navigating with a compass, and how you can reclaim your direction. I’ll break down a simple model to help you realign your life, share an inspiring story about how Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz reshaped an entire company by returning to its core values, and—most importantly—give you practical steps to start making changes right now.
If you’ve been feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure whether your life is moving in the right direction, this episode is for you. So grab your journal, find a quiet space, and let’s get started!
"We can either carry the weight of the world or the full weight of joy." ~Tami Imlay

👉 TamiMarieCoaching.com/quiz
Key Takeaways:
- Living on autopilot keeps us disconnected from what truly matters.
- The conveyor belt mentality makes us passive participants in life, while a compass mindset allows us to take intentional steps toward fulfillment.
- The AIM Framework for Alignment:
1️⃣ Awareness – Identify your core values and purpose (What truly matters to you?).
2️⃣ Intention – Consciously prioritize what aligns with your values (Where are you spending energy that doesn’t serve you?).
3️⃣ Movement – Take small, consistent actions toward alignment (What’s one step you can take today?). - Misalignment leads to burnout, resentment, and exhaustion, while alignment brings peace, fulfillment, and impact.
- Inspired by Howard Schultz, former CEO of Starbucks, who realigned his company by returning to its core values—even making bold decisions like closing 7,100 stores in one day for a massive reset.

This week, take one bold step toward alignment. Ask yourself:
🔹 Where am I living out of alignment?
🔹 What’s one small shift I can make today to bring my life closer to my values?

Have you ever felt like life is a never-ending maze—so many turns, so many paths, but none of them leading anywhere? You’re trying all the things, yet nothing seems to really be working. Sound familiar? Well, today we’re talking about what it means to shift from the maze mentality to the lighthouse perspective—where you stop running in circles and start seeing the bigger picture. If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you're playing by someone else’s rules, this episode is for you! Let’s DO this!

Key Takeaways:
- Feeling stuck doesn’t always mean you’re doing nothing—it often means you’re doing too much without clear direction.
- The real reason we stay stuck? Waiting for absolute clarity before taking action.
- Overthinking, ignoring our intuition, and relying on others’ opinions keep us from trusting ourselves.
- The maze mentality keeps you reactive, while the lighthouse perspective gives you clarity.
- The Three C’s of Clarity:
- Curiosity – Get honest about why you feel stuck.
- Courage – Acknowledge what you truly want (even if it scares you).
- Commitment – Take one small step forward—even before you feel ready.
The One Thing You Don’t Want to Miss:
➡️ The moment you realize that waiting for clarity might be the very thing keeping you from moving forward. If you've been feeling like you need permission to take the next step, this is it!
Are you in or are you out?
This week, I challenge you to ask yourself: Where in my life am I waiting for permission or absolute clarity before taking action? Write down one step you can take TODAY—even if you don’t feel 100% ready.
