🎙️ 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.

Welcome to part 2 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!
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!
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.

Are you starting to see how important it is to intentionally identify who you are? To really step into your calling, your purpose, your destiny- you need to intentionally look at what is stopping you. Part of who you are is wrapped into what is holding you back. What comfortable fear is keeping you from achieving that deep, inspiring dream that is deep within your soul? By identifying your fear you are able to start addressing them. See how they are serving you and then decide if it is time to step it aside.
Over the last few weeks, we have talked about Ways to Identify our identity. We have talked about locating our limits, reflecting back at how God made us and how He has shown up throughout our lives. We also talked about how to determine what is important to us.
If we do not take specific actions to step into who we are meant to be we will never see our true calling. The people around you NEED YOU! I need you to be you. Your friends and your family all need you to find out who you are and step into the amazing gifts God has given us all.

Who are you? Who do you want to be? Who does Christ say you are? How does Christ's identity for you shape your future? These are all questions we should ask ourselves. In order to really look at these, we have to look back at our life. We have to look back specifically at how God has shown up in our lives. This is what I encourage you to do today. To find who you want to be or who you are becoming- look at the patterns, rhythms, and paths we have taken thus far. Look at how God has shown up and protected you. Look at how He prepared you for the walk you are walking. Our circumstances are not a shock, as hard as they were (or are) to go through, God is walking with us the ENTIRE time. Our confidence, our security, our fear fighting and overcoming- all come from our identity- and stepping into who God created us to be.

We all know what is important to us...right? Do our lives reflect them? Truth moment- I have not always prioritized what is most important to me. That's why I started looking at ways to uncover what is most important to me and then taking intentional steps to look beyond my calendar and beyond what others say are important and really focusing my energy on my values. This episode will give you 5 ways to determine what is important to you. Take time, grap paper and pen (or just allow yourself to think about it a bit...) and allow yourself to discover the gaps between what is important and what you think is important.

This is the "fixed" version! Sorry for the audio mix-up! I'm still learning! This is the updated episode!!!
Do you allow your limits, threats, and barriers to define your identity? Do you know how to become the best version of yourself? In today's episode, I talk about one step and a few questions you can ask yourself to move from your limits into a place of freedom and choice. You get to choose who you are. You get to choose the best version of yourself and what you want others to see and know about you. Don't let your circumstances define who you are. Don't let your limits define you. Don't let your fears or barriers- rise above these and decide for yourself what you want.
The day this is released is Memorial Day. A day set aside to remember the brave men and women who have died defending our great nation. Less than 1% of the population serves in the military. When I heard that statistic it really shocked me. Growing up military and joining the military myself I am surrounded by the 1%. Each one of those individuals signed their name, willingly and voluntarily, to defend our nation. Memorial Day is the day that we pause to honor those that were called to sacrifice. As you fire up the BBQ and hang with friends- take a moment in gratitude for the freedoms you get to experience because of these real people with real families who died protecting you. Died protecting your right to choose how you spend your days (not just today but every day). Celebrate the great nation that can be called great because we have people willing to pay the ultimate sacrifice.

As women, we are really good at carrying each other's burdens. We do our best not to gossip but we all like a juicy story. We also know that when our friend is hurting- we are hurting. It is important that we are intentional about holding space to emotionally support our friends. In today's episode, I talk about 5 things to do to be able to hold space for others. 5 things that you should be doing consistently that will not only improve your communication but also remove assumptions about what is needed (by your or your friend).
I mention defining your life and your needs in seasons- to find out more listen to Episode 18 on April 6th "Don't Float Through Time- Take Time to Reflect and Be Intentional. Reflect of the Season You Just Came Out of and the One You are Going Into"

Do you ever wonder if you are parenting “good enough”? Do you worry if you are focusing on the “right” values and issues with your kids? What am I thinking…of COURSE, you don’t worry about this. Parenting is so easy- why worry about it. NOT (Yes I just dated myself I could have said psych!). Parenting is such an honor and blessing but it is downright hard. In this episode, I discuss how to use Enneagram to help you with your parenting. It’s something I use and have found that it gives me an understanding of what is really going on in the moment. It helps me have grace for myself and for my kids. It also gives me a way to talk to them that speaks to their hearts.
Using the Enneagram to understand your fears, emotions, core desires, and motivations is key to understanding your parenting style. Finding a balance between being centered and ready in the moment and giving yourself grace as you overcome your fears and weaknesses. I hope you find hope, understanding, and strength to know you have what it takes to parent.

We all are under a LOT of pressure. We have these expectations placed on us from various places that it is impossible to live up to. Well what if we don't have to? What if we get to choose a different way? Have you identified where the expectations are from? This episode talks about releasing ourselves from unnecessary pressure, allowing people to see our vulnerable side, and how to protect ourselves from the unrealistic expectations. What pressure are you experiencing? What would you say if I told you that you can release it all? Listen in!
