🎙️ A Leader’s Purpose with Tami Imlay
The podcast for leaders who’ve outgrown surface-level success and are ready for soul-level impact.
You’ve built the career, led the teams, checked the boxes—and yet, you’re still asking, “Is this really it?”
Welcome to the space where high-achieving, faith-driven leaders come to get honest, get clear, and get aligned.
Hosted by executive coach, speaker, and Master Certified Enneagram and NeuroCoach Tami Imlay, this show helps you rise into your next season with confidence, clarity, and purpose—without burning out, starting over, or chucking it all and moving to Bali (tempting as that sounds).
With 20+ years of leadership experience—including military service, therapy and neuroscience training, and coaching high-level entrepreneurs and executives—Tami brings both strategy and soul to the mic. After becoming a Gold Star Spouse and walking through her own identity shift, she made it her mission to help other leaders do the same: step into a life and leadership that actually feels like you.
Each episode blends truth-telling with tangible tools—expect a little sass, a lot of heart, and zero tolerance for performative leadership. We’ll cover topics like:
✨ Identity clarity & self-awareness using the Enneagram
🧠 Neuroscience-backed tools to rewire limiting beliefs
🎯 Purpose-aligned business and leadership strategy
🧭 Navigating transitions, pivots, and legacy-defining moves
🧘 Burnout recovery and sustainable success
💬 Authentic communication & emotional intelligence
🙏 Faith and leadership integration that doesn’t feel cheesy
If you’re circling your calling, craving deeper impact, or just tired of pretending everything’s fine when you’re quietly questioning what’s next—this podcast is for you.
Because here’s the truth:
✅ You don’t need another strategy. You need identity clarity.
✅ You’re not behind—you’re right on time.
✅ You already have what it takes. You just need to remember who you are.
This is your permission to rise—without losing yourself in the process.

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

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.
The One Thing You Don’t Want to Miss:
➡️ If you’re waiting for clarity before making a change, you might be waiting forever. The truth? Clarity comes THROUGH action, not before it.
💡Are you in or are you out?
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?
Journal Prompt for Reflection:
"If I fully aligned my life with my values, what would my days look like? What would change?"
