🎙️ 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!
We rarely talk about grief in leadership—but we should. Grief isn’t just about loss through death. It shows up in promotions, career pivots, team shifts, unmet goals, and changes in identity. Whether it’s visible or not, unresolved grief impacts how we lead, how we connect, and how we make decisions. In this deeply personal and powerful episode, I walk you through the real, often hidden ways grief can shape (or derail) your leadership—and how facing it might just be your boldest next step.
💬 "If you're feeling numb, reactive, or like you've outgrown your life—but you're not sure why—unresolved grief could be quietly writing the script."

🔑 Key Takeaways:
- Grief isn’t just about losing people; it’s also about losing identity, dreams, routine, confidence, and connection.
- Leaders often carry unresolved grief that leads to over-functioning, poor decision-making, emotional numbness, or team dysfunction.
- Unresolved grief quietly erodes leadership clarity, self-awareness, and authentic connection.
Grieving with intention creates wisdom, depth, and presence that transforms your leadership. - You don’t need to unpack everything at once, but naming your grief is the first step toward alignment.
✨ The One Thing You Don’t Want to Miss:
➡️ Unprocessed grief impacts every decision you make—even when you don’t realize it.
💪 Challenge if you choose to accept it:
Take 15 minutes this week to identify a “quiet grief” you’ve been carrying—a dream, identity, or routine you lost but never acknowledged. Write it down, name it, and consider what wisdom it left behind.
📝 Journal Prompt for Reflection:
What loss (big or small) is still quietly influencing how I lead, show up, or make decisions—and what do I need to release to move forward?
