🎙️ 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.

Have you ever felt like life is a never-ending maze—so many turns, so many paths, but none of them leading anywhere? You’re trying all the things, yet nothing seems to really be working. Sound familiar? Well, today we’re talking about what it means to shift from the maze mentality to the lighthouse perspective—where you stop running in circles and start seeing the bigger picture. If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you're playing by someone else’s rules, this episode is for you! Let’s DO this!
"If you see your own value, you don’t have to play everyone else’s game." ~ Tim Cotten
Want to Go Deeper?
Take my 7-question clarity quiz to understand what’s keeping you stuck and how to move forward with confidence. It only takes 3 minutes and will give you instant insight into your next steps!
👉 TamiMarieCoaching.com/quiz
Key Takeaways:
- Feeling stuck doesn’t always mean you’re doing nothing—it often means you’re doing too much without clear direction.
- The real reason we stay stuck? Waiting for absolute clarity before taking action.
- Overthinking, ignoring our intuition, and relying on others’ opinions keep us from trusting ourselves.
- The maze mentality keeps you reactive, while the lighthouse perspective gives you clarity.
- The Three C’s of Clarity:
- Curiosity – Get honest about why you feel stuck.
- Courage – Acknowledge what you truly want (even if it scares you).
- Commitment – Take one small step forward—even before you feel ready.
The One Thing You Don’t Want to Miss:
➡️ The moment you realize that waiting for clarity might be the very thing keeping you from moving forward. If you've been feeling like you need permission to take the next step, this is it!
Are you in or are you out?
This week, I challenge you to ask yourself: Where in my life am I waiting for permission or absolute clarity before taking action? Write down one step you can take TODAY—even if you don’t feel 100% ready.
Journal Prompt for Reflection:
"What is my intuition telling me that I’ve been ignoring?"

Today, we're diving into a topic that's close to my heart—finding true significance in our lives beyond the glossy images of success we often see. We'll explore how to align our daily lives with our unique callings and embrace the joy that comes from living authentically. So grab your favorite drink, get comfy, and let's do THIS!

Hey friend, welcome to the show! Today, I'm diving into the fascinating world of stained glass windows and how they beautifully symbolize our uniqueness and purpose. I absolutely love the intricate designs and vibrant colors of stained glass, and I think they perfectly illustrate how each of us, with our diverse experiences, traits, and emotions, contributes to a larger, cohesive picture.

"Your strengths aren't just personality traits - they're your God-given tools for creating impact and experiencing fulfillment.” ~Tami
Do you love those little quizzes that tell you about you? Like the ones on Facebook that tell you what animal you are or the song that is your “life’s” song? I love those. I know they are senseless and meaningless..and there is NOTHING about you that goes into the results. How often do we treat personality assessments the same way…we spend time taking them. We get excited about the results, and then we tuck them away.
Friend! It’s time we stop doing that! Personality assessments (the real ones not the FB ones) are packed full of gold, and if we don’t learn how to apply it to our lives…we are missing out on growth and fulfillment. In today’s episode, I talk about common problems with some of the tests we take (well, not the tests themselves; I do mention some of those), and what happens when we take them and do not use them. I dive into a simple way we can take action TODAY! Let’s do this!
Ready to overcome overwhelm and imposter syndrome? Let’s chat! Book your FREE call today, and let’s create a game plan and uncover God's amazing plans for you! Book your call below!
Ready to take action?
- Book a Call with Me!
- Set a time on your calendar right before our call to take a moment and breathe. This is the only preparation you'll need. It's that easy!
- Join the call and allow your heart to be heard and seen.
Key Takeaways:
- Personality Assessments: Tami has a keen interest in personality assessments like Myers-Briggs, Enneagram, and CliftonStrengths, emphasizing their potential for personal growth if insights are actively applied.
- Misuse of Enneagram: The Enneagram is often misused by focusing on negative traits. The podcast encourages reframing these traits as strengths or superpowers.
- Actionable Insights: Simply taking personality assessments is inadequate without further exploration and action. The podcast inspires listeners to align their actions with their true selves.
- Align and Shine Program: A new program, "Align and Shine," focuses on self-awareness and personal growth, helping participants understand and utilize their strengths in service to others.
- Evolving Identity: Personality assessments are starting points for growth, not fixed definitions. Core motivations and strengths can evolve over time.
- Intentional Decision-Making: Understanding one's strengths can lead to more intentional decision-making and personal development.
Journal Question:
- Take some time to consider your last personality assessment results. How do you see the evaluation or results show up in your recent decisions? What made you make that decision? Is it the decision you would make again if you had the chance to do it over? Why?
Do you have a business or want to start a business (side gig or “thing”)?

#282 Master Your Foundation: The Key to Personal Growth and Authentic Living
Monday Jan 06, 2025
Monday Jan 06, 2025
Have I ever told you that I grew up in Italy? One of the perks of being a military BRAT was that we got to travel and live in really cool places. It changed the way I saw the world. We didn’t just travel to Italy on vacation for a few days, we lived there for over three YEARS. As I was thinking about what I wanted to talk about today, a staircase came to my mind. The entire house was built around this gorgeous rock staircase on the island of Capri. The stairs were the foundation of the house. And it got me thinking about how we build our foundations. Listen in!

Key Takeaways:
- Cultural Exposure and Personal Growth: Tami's upbringing as a military brat allowed them to experience diverse cultures, which contributed to their personal development. A memorable Girl Scout trip to Capri, Italy, highlighted the importance of cultural immersion.
- Metaphor of the Stone Staircase: The beautifully crafted stone staircase in a volunteer's home on Capri serves as a metaphor for understanding one's foundation before building upon it. This emphasizes the importance of self-awareness in personal growth.
- Self-Awareness and Personal Development: Tami stresses the necessity of recognizing one's foundational elements—such as strengths, motivations, and values—before pursuing personal growth. This understanding leads to greater stability and confidence in life choices.
- Zone of Genius: Identifying one's unique qualities and strengths, or "zone of genius," is crucial for clarity in self-perception and decision-making. A lack of clarity can lead to disconnection and uncertainty.
- Benefits of Self-Awareness: Increased confidence, a clearer sense of purpose, and authentic self-expression are outlined as benefits of self-awareness. Understanding one's design by God can align faith and work.
- Decision-Making Framework: A deeper understanding of oneself simplifies decision-making, reducing decision fatigue and enabling quicker, more informed choices.
- Embracing Authenticity: Tami encourages embracing unique qualities and removing aspects that do not belong, leading to a joyful and life-giving process of self-discovery.
- Community and Support: The "Align and Shine" program is introduced to help individuals discover and live out their unique gifts, emphasizing the importance of community and support.
- Podcast Aspirations: Tami shares aspirations for their podcast to reach a broader audience, encouraging listeners to leave ratings and reviews and to spread the word to help others find their calling.
- Invitation for Connection: The message concludes with an invitation for further connection and a reminder to choose joy in the journey of personal growth.
Journal Question:
- Reflect on a time when you felt truly connected to your unique strengths and values. How did this awareness influence your decisions and actions? Consider the metaphor of the stone staircase: what foundational elements in your life need to be understood and embraced before you can build upon them? Write about how you can cultivate self-awareness to enhance your personal growth and authenticity.
