🎙️ 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 hey! Welcome back! Today I dive into a listener's question. She asks the question "How can you be grateful that your husband died?" Ouch- yea- HOW can I be grateful that it happened? Well, listen in to hear my take on this very personal and very important question. No question is too real, too raw, or too much. If you have a question let me know. This journey of life is no joke. We are all making it up as we go along. Sometimes we are so close to the problem, we can't see our way through. It is nice to talk to someone else about how they handle things, what they have done that has worked (or hasn't worked), and just know you are not alone. I hope today's episode speaks to your heart. I hope to take the questions at the end and allow yourself to answer them. We can't grow if we don't pay attention. So listen in and then get alone for a few minutes, grab a pen and paper and dive into what gratitude looks like for you!

Friend!!! I am so glad you are here. This episode is one that has been stirring in my heart for a while. I have talked with so many women (maybe even you!) and realized that we desire to heal BUT we cannot fathom setting down what we have been through. Not that we can't forgive, but we want to hold on to what we know. We don't want to forget. We feel like we are in between grief and life AND FRIEND you DO NOT HAVE TO CHOOSE! This is not an either-or situation, but it is a choice we have to make. You get to decide even though life is messy and hard, you get to decide if you are going to love your life or not. Let me share a bit of my journey and what I have learned, and I hope it inspires you to jump in and release the hold you have on your life and allow God to show you how healing can lead to freedom. Listen in!

Friend!!! This is YOUR permission slip! We all wish we could set down the things we don't want to do so we can embrace the things we want to do- and yet...we keep doing all the same things! Can you believe next week is November? WHAT??? I cannot believe it. I say every year "This will be OUR year! THis year will be different" and yet I fall into the same trap. The same stress. The same overcommitment. But I have learned over the last year you can do things differently by just deciding to. I give my secret to success at the end of the episode (hint- it's the one thing you should do!). As you listen- write down the things you are going to say no to this season. You don't have to write down people you are going to say no to...BUT for me, some of the things: saying no to every gift exchange and only do the ones that are really important, don't go to every holiday party or party hop because I am afraid to say no to someone. (Now I fully intend to do some party hopping because I love my people- but the key is I GET to decide when it is right for my family and me). Anyway I don't want to give anymore away! This episdoe is your permission slip to do things differently and step into the holiday season with intention and joy. Let's do this! Who is with me?

I really hope you enjoy this bonus episode! This is a LIVE workshop I did earlier this week. It was a free workshop and the feedback from it was amazing. I am still getting people sending me their goals and whole-self action plans. We talk about the 12 domains of life and how to define them for YOU rather than accepting others' definitions that don't quite fit your needs. When you are being intentional about taking care of every aspect of your life you can gain the peace and balance you are looking for! You don't have to take drastic measures because you have let yourself get BURNT OUT! Small intentional steps are all we really need- BUT you have to do it in all areas of your life and not just the most obvious or easy ones!

I need a nap...perpetually. I would love to say that my sleep hygiene is on point, BUT what I will say is it is much better than it use to be. Sleep is hard as a momma. I hear everything that goes on in my house while I sleep. I remember when the kids were little "sleeping in" meant I got to sleep until the kids woke up. I will say that now that I have a teenager-mornings on the weekend are sweet!
Sleep and rest are two different things. Yes a nap would be a great form of whole self-care and if you have the opportunity to do it- GO FOR IT Girl! But what if we were supposed to look at rest in a different way. What if we could still be going about our daily activities and still experience rest? Wouldn't that be AWESOME! When we are defining whole self-care we need to look at all our needs and how to bring rest into our daily lives. In today's episode we talk about just that- a new way to consider rest. I hope it opens a whole new world of opportunties for you? What if it reduces guilt and shame that you feel because you are not doing enough or the "right" thing? What if it means reducing the current to-do list? What if you could define the rest you need?
My friend! I think it is possible! Listen in to find out!
Oh Oh Oh! I wanted to share with you a FREE workshop coming up! It's the "Caring For our Whole Self" Workshop. We are going to dive into each of the 12 domains of life I mentioned in the episode and determine and assess where we are in each of them. To start building a foundation of good self-care. I would LOVE for you to join me there! It's OCT 21 - the replay will be sent out to those who sign up for it- so sign up today!!!
Here is the link to sign up and get reminders! It is free and going to be a lot of fun! So invite a friend (or lots) and let's look at how we can start taking care of OURSELVES so we can continue to love the people around us well. Oct 21 @ 1pm CST! You Don't want to miss it!

Hey Hey! Do you struggle with work/life balance? Do you know you need to take better care of yourself and buy into this idea of good self-care but can't see how it really works in your life? In today's episode, we talk about the areas in our life that we need to focus on and how to look at our whole self with respect to self-care. We can't focus on one or two areas of our life and expect to feel balanced and energized! We are a whole person with many faucets of needs and desires. It's time to give ourselves a break and address (or maybe just acknowledge) that we do have needs that we aren't intentionally pouring into. The purpose of this is not to make you feel guilty or even behind- it's to finally get to the bottom of our feeling of being lost and overwhelmed and what to do about it. So let's dive in!
Oh Oh Oh! I wanted to share with you a FREE workshop coming up! It's the "Caring For our Whole Self" Workshop. We are going to dive into each of the 12 domains of life I mentioned in the episode and determine and assess where we are in each of them. To start building a foundation of good self-care.

I don't know about you- but I am REALLY tired of hearing the term self-care thrown around. I would love to spend the day at the spa and get massages weekly- BUT this is not realistic (for most of us). This isn't what self-care really is. Some of us are at self-triage and need to get to a point of balance so we can even start to consider what self-care for us looks like. The truth is we don't value our worth enough to put in the time and resources to invest in ourselves. Today I want to talk about what taking care of yourself really means and get you thinking about your priorities. Not to guilt you or shame you- but to let you see that we NEED you. The people around you need you at your best. That means investing in yourself. Let's dive in to understand the real meaning of self-care.

Humbleness is an attribute that God greatly values. But does He want us to be so humble that we let ourselves feel no value? Are we to be so humble that we are to continue to give even when we have given our last drop of energy? It is so hard for me to accept that I am deserving of things, to believe that I am enough- just as I am and that I am worthy. But to really understand self-care- and what true self-care means (and not just the luxuries we hear about and desire). We need to know and believe we are enough, we are worthy, and we are deserving of good things. I believe we can say with boldness and confidence that we are each of these things, simply because God says we are. He gave us gifts and our value is not in who we are but who God is and who He said we are. The best part about that- we do not have to look inside to be called this. As a child of God, an adopted heir- we are worthy because we are valued.
Ready to take the first steps toward Full Restoration? Check out this BRAND NEW Journal that I made just for you. It takes you through the Her Restored Spirit Pathway and helps you to see some possibilities. I truly believe that with this framework- you can always know your next step. You don't have to settle with feeling lost, stuck, or even alone. So check it out here!

Do you ever wonder if there is an intentional way to heal? I don't mean rush the process or throw a band-aid over the wound until it scars. I'm talking about intentionally looking at the hurt, the broken spirit, and deciding to heal. Deciding to not allow time to heal the anguish (we all have heard the saying "time heals all wounds"- but does it? Or does it just scab over until we have to address it again?). I'm talking about partnering with God in the process and guiding, learning, healing, restoration, and allowing a new resolve and confidence to be created. It is about taking into consideration the lessons God had for you. Remember He uses EVERYTHING for good no matter how hard, messy, traumatizing...something beautiful can come out of your pain. Purpose and passion can come from your pain and trials. BUT how?
I am so excited to share the Her Restored Spirit Pathway with you! This journey to restoration is not one we have to do alone. Thank you, Jesus! In today's episode, I talk about the 5 Pillars in the pathway. These pillars will help guide you on the path towards true and lasting restoration. This pathway can be used over and over and each time you can gain the strength you need to be the woman God created- YOU. God wants to do a new thing in you- but if you are resisting the need for growth, healing, and restoration if you are resisting the prompting of the Holy Spirit saying "Child there is more for you- don't say here" You won't be able to experience it. I know it hurts and is hard- believe me- I am still fighting through the fear of what if. But I know it is worth it. I know God is worth it. My dear friend, I KNOW you are worth it! Let's dive in!
ARE YOU READY?
If you are ready to identify your fears and start stepping into the confidence you desire- get ready! This group experience is going to be a great step for you. I have spent years trying to figure out how to find the next step, discover who God made me to be and I want to share my path with you- only without all the detours, I had to take to learn the lessons. I want to walk with you as you begin your journey and help you discover that knowing your fears and embracing confidence is what will help you find the breakthrough I know is just there waiting for you!
I am SOOO excited to share that Her Restored Spirit- Broken to Breakthrough is coming THIS MONTH! I know it is going to be life-changing and you HAVE to be a part of it! Be one of the first to hear about the VERY LIMITED opportunity by heading to my website and getting on my mailing list!
My name is Tami and I am a Restoration and Confidence Coach. I am a Marriage and Family therapist turned life coach and I love it. I love working with women (and a few men) who want more from life- who are ready to move their tragedy from the center of their story to just being part of their story and reclaiming their identity. If you connect with anything that I'm saying, I would love to talk with you.
