🎙️ 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.

Do you ever what it would be like to be your ULTIMATE self? What would it be like to not allow fear to rule your decisions but choose at the moment based on the surroundings and your goals and priorities? I know I do. I want others to get the best version of me. I want to show up for my family and friends as the best me. Studying the Enneagram has helped me understand my tendencies and fears and rise above them. No, I haven't reached the Convergence path yet (I honestly believe this is a part of the "perfect" body when we get to Heaven). As you work to respond rather than react you will start to see glimpses of this amazing version of you that God created.
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.

We all spend time in our stress and blind-spot path, BUT today we are jumping into the growth path. This is where we want to be. Where we want to stay. It is where we want to fight to linger. This path is where we become our healthiest and really show up to the world and those closest to us in a way that impacts others. When we are healthy and on our growth path we are responding rather than reacting and we are really being who we were created to be! We all know that when we are talking with our kids, spouse, friends- we want to show up as our best selves, this path gives us a way to identify when it is happening. It also gives us a way to push ourselves-it allows us to identify areas that we haven't explored yet. So jump in! Don't wait for you to feel "healthy" before stepping into the growth path- you won't be disappointed!
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.

We hurt the ones we love. Have you heard that saying? I know that before I understood the enneagram I would act in ways I didn't understand. I react to things in ways I didn't even want to. I would say things and do things that were not nice. Honestly, if my husband was here now I would have a lot of apologizing to do. Enter the blind spot path. When I first started studying the Enneagram I learned about two paths- the stress path and the growth path. These are the most widely known and talked about paths however, this blind spot path is worth digging into. This path is how we react when we are heading toward stress. We don't need to be in full-blown stress and we still get short and react in ways we regret. By understanding the why- we can change the how! Listen in to find out the importance of knowing and understanding the blind spot path.

We are back talking about the Enneagram! I should do it more often- it's so much fun! Well, today's episode isn't the most fun we are talking about stress paths. It's the easiest path to be on and the one that is the most miserable. It's not the path that we want to be on but without noticing- we could be there often. But the great thing about understanding stress- you can actively choose a different path after noticing! Today’s episode is just the first in the series- so don’t lose hope and tune in next week to hear about blind spot paths.

We all have fears. All of us. We all have resistance. But those who act anyway are the ones who are world changers. Even if it is just their immediate world. How do we put ourselves into that category of amazing people? How do we do things messy and push past fear EVEN when we have doubt and ANTS (automatic negative thoughts)? How do we stop listening to what the world says about us and step into who God called us to be? We find out our why. We don't settle for surface level- we want to change the world. We need to dig down and discover our deeper why- one that is so important that we push past our fears and jump into action like the world depends on it.

That Darn Resistance that Happens When We Try to Grow, Dream, and go for Our Goals but Why We Can't Let That Stop Us- Fear Should Not Stop Us From Moving Forward. In today's episode, I talk about how we should use resistance as an indicator, not a suffocator. We can't let the fear of something or the uncomfortable feeling to stop us from moving forward.

We all live crazy lives- hopefully, it is not just me. Sometimes things are so crazy that we get in a pattern of running from one crisis to another- we spend our days dealing with the livestock and fishes (and don't forget those pesky bugs) that we can't actually achieve what we need to achieve. SOMETIMES it may be an indication you are doing too much- sometimes it is a way of our brains keeping us busy so we CANNOT deal with what we REALLY need to do. What are your patterns, activities, and business of life telling you? Have you stopped to see how moving from one crisis to another may be derailing you? Listen in- I know that understanding how I was dealing with the circumstances of the day was keeping me from focusing on what I really needed and what I really WANTED.

Are you someone who doesn't like to let people down? Do you keep commitments at all costs? I know I do. I truly believe my word is my bond and I work hard to not break my commitments, to not sever promises, or say something that I never intend to follow through on. Do we have the same commitment to ourselves? How important is it to make and keep personal integrity? Listen in to get a new perspective.

Have you ever told yourself you have to embrace the trials in your life? Have you told yourself that life happens- you have to take it as it comes? Have you given over to the fact that life is just hard and that's the way it has to be? Have you told yourself you have to "embrace the suck"?
Friend! Do not allow your circumstances to decide who you are and what you are going to do. In today's episode, I talk about pushing past what the circumstances say you have to believe and decide what you want to get out of it. You are stronger than you know!

Welcome to part 3 of our 3 part series of Releasing Expectations! If you haven't had a chance to listen to the first podcast episode I encourage you to go and listen now!
You can check out Episode 1 Here
You an Check out Episode 2 Here
Do you experience times in your life that you want to do something- but you feel the weight of other's expectations on your life? Do you feel lost in who you are because you haven't separated expectations from reality? We go through life (and it is NOT easy) making choices. But, if we are not intentional about our choices, we may fall into the trap of doing things because they are "expected" rather than what is really in our hearts. No more, my friend! In this 3 part series, I talk about releasing the expectations- the expectations from yourself and the ones placed on us from others.
Who should we look to for the path we should be taking or what journey we should follow?
Well, turn in over the next 3 weeks. I hope you find peace and confidence in setting down what outcomes you were shooting for, and deciding the journey is just as important (if not MORE important) than the outcome.
Be free, my friend! Let go of expectations, let go of disappointments- Let Go and be free to listen to the subtle whisper, the tug of your heart, and the voice in your head that says- go another way!
