Empty Nest Empires
Every day we are building empires - creating a legacy to leave behind. Whether we mean to or not, we build empires in faith, our relationships with family and friends, our level of fitness in body mind and spirit, even by having fun - and of course our finances. Most of the time we let the chips fall where they may, but what if we were more intentional about the empires we are building? I’m Tami Romani, an empty nest mom and grandma with a passion for your success - Welcome to Empty Nest Empires where we will figure this out together - I’m so happy you’re here!

A funny thing happened on the way to a pandemic... I lost my mojo and had an overwhelming bit of chaos take over for a few years. But we are back, and while my Voicing Your Brand podcast will be focusing on the business of using your voice for success and how to be the voice that is heard on the noisy internet, this special place in Podcastland will be reserved for more storytelling. Yours and mine. I can't wait to share and also h...

I woke up one morning this week with this phrase running through my mind: "YOUR STORY MAY HOLD A KEY TO UNLOCK HEALING FOR SOMEONE ELSE."
This has never happened to me before - I will sometimes wake up with a song, but never have I heard such a profound declaration the minute I wake up. But that's just what this was.
Storytelling is such an important part of leaving a legacy, I wonder if this message is for you today? Are you te...

Oh boy, not much frustrates me more than when I hear someone say "I don't do that thing because I'm OLD." And I hear it more often than I'd like. You can fill in the blank with things like "email" "get a new smart phone" "learn a new skill" "run a marathon" "write a book" etc. etc. but the message is the same: "I think I'm too old to learn to do a new thing."
Well, I'm here to debunk that attitude. In this episode, I'll sha...

I met my guest, Sheri McIntyre, through the magic of social media. She reached out to me several months ago via Instagram messenger, and my life has not been the same since.
Sheri was in the best shape of her life - and (she thought) the best health of her life when the unthinkable happened - a sudden rupture of a brain aneurysm left her helpless on New Years Day, 2016. Helpless, yes. Hopeless, no. Something inside Sheri rose up w...
Hi Empire Builders! I am really happy that my first episode after the introductions we’ve been doing is this one about being healthy enough. I’ve noticed a tendency to have an all or nothing mentality in this area. Every time we open a magazine or turn on the TV we are bombarded with images of others we would like to emulate, but really - it’s unattainable for most of us. So what do we do? We do nothing.
My guest today is going t...
