A Leader’s Purpose: Navigating Career and Life-Defining Moments with Clarity, Confidence, and Purpose for High-Level Leaders Ready to Lead with Purpose over Pressure

Can I be honest? I sat down to record this episode with absolutely nothing. Zero inspiration. My first thought? "Great, Tami. You teach people about alignment and you can't even show up for your own work."

But here's what I realized: that feeling wasn't writer's block. It was my soul tapping me on the shoulder saying, "We need to talk." And if you're ...

Let me ask you something—how much time and money have you spent trying to fix the way you lead? Another book, another certification, another workshop promising the breakthrough you've been searching for?

Here's what nobody tells you: every time you reach for another quick fix, you're not just spending money or time. You're staying stuck in the same patterns that got you here in the first place.

I've been having this con...

Can I tell you something that might surprise you? The leaders I work with who command the room, make decisions with ease, and build powerhouse teams aren't spending their time chasing the latest leadership trend. They're not jumping from framework to framework. They've mastered five simple habits that have nothing to do with business books and everything to do with becoming the person others naturally want to follow. An...

We throw around words like they're interchangeable when they're not—and the difference matters. Weather vs. climate. Listening vs. hearing. Motion vs. progress. In leadership, we do this with self-awareness and emotional intelligence, treating them like synonyms when they're actually two distinct capabilities. I learned this the hard way as a young lieutenant walking into a room full of colonels and generals during a co...

Building emotional intelligence is like building a house—and most leaders are trying to pick paint colors before laying the foundation. I realized this when I built my house on 5 acres in Oklahoma. My excitement about fixtures and finishes had to wait because my builder reminded me: "First we pick the elevation and style. That in...

Are you watching good people disengage or leave your team? Seeing departments operate like separate islands instead of one cohesive unit? The problem isn't your strategy or your people—it's that you're leading through your own lens instead of seeing things through theirs.

After two decades of guiding executives through team dynamics, I can tell you the leaders who master this aren't the ones with the most experience. Th...

Ever feel like you're checking all the boxes but still spinning your wheels? Like your team is busy but not actually getting anywhere meaningful? You're not behind, and you're definitely not lazy—but something's clouding your clarity and making you second-guess every move.

After two decades of leadership coaching, I've discovered one of the most overlooked reasons high-capacity leaders feel scattered: time focus. It's n...

Ever catch yourself thinking you need to have it all figured out before stepping into bigger leadership? I recorded this episode twice (tech crashed the first time—apparently even I don't have all the answers about equipment!) because this message hit me so hard on a Sunday drive. If you're waiting for complete clarity before you lead, you're actually disqualifying yourself from being the leader your team needs most.

You're not someone who makes decisions from panic or pressure…you're someone who leads with intentional clarity and purpose. But sometimes that clarity feels a little cloudy, doesn't it? If you're nodding your head right now, this episode is exactly what you need. Today we're talking about the mirror test and why it's a complete game-changer for leaders who are ready to stop second-guessing themselves and start leading ...

Ever feel like you're stuck in the hamster wheel of good intentions? You know what you should do as a leader, but somehow you keep falling back into the same patterns. Whether it's avoiding difficult conversations, letting your workout routine slide, or saying yes when you mean no, the cycle feels endless. Today we're talking about how to break free from behavior-based changes that don't stick and start building from th...

Have you ever said, “It’s just something I do” when someone complimented you on a skill or strength? I know I have. For a long time, I overlooked the things that came naturally to me—thinking they didn’t really count because they felt easy. But what if that ease is actually the clue to your zone of genius?

In this episode, I’m sharing a personal story (inspired by a sweet question from my kids) and a powerful conversati...

Have you noticed how hard it’s become to trust anything lately? From AI-curated content to contradictory leadership advice, it’s no wonder leaders are spinning in self-doubt. In today’s episode, I unpack the invisible but costly impact of the Trust Recession—and how it’s not just about the world “out there”… it’s about how it’s eroding your ability to trust yourself.

This one is a gut check.

💬 “If we can't trust oursel...

We rarely talk about grief in leadership—but we should. Grief isn’t just about loss through death. It shows up in promotions, career pivots, team shifts, unmet goals, and changes in identity. Whether it’s visible or not, unresolved grief impacts how we lead, how we connect, and how we make decisions. In this deeply personal and powerful episode, I walk you through the real, often hidden ways grief can shape (or derail) ...

Have you ever followed a leader who looked impressive on paper but left you drained, disoriented, or doubting your value? You’re not alone—and more importantly, you’re not powerless. This episode will help you spot leadership patterns that push people away—and give you five traits that magnetize teams and create real, lasting impact.

Because leadership isn’t about perfection. It’s about presence, clarity, and alignment.

You know that strange moment when you’ve done everything “right”—hit the goals, earned the respect, built the reputation—and yet… it feels off? Like the version of success you’ve created doesn’t quite fit who you are anymore?

That’s what we’re unpacking in this first official episode under the new podcast name, A Leader’s Purpose. And if you’ve ever felt like you were wearing armor that looked good but wasn’t built for ...

This episode has been on my heart for a while—and it’s finally time. I’m sharing something big today: a shift, a stretch, and a step into who I’ve become and who I believe you are becoming too. If you’ve ever outgrown a version of yourself or felt that quiet whisper that it’s time for more... you’re not alone. This rebrand isn’t just about me—it’s about the space we’re creating together. Let's talk about what’s changing...

Have you ever booked a vacation, binge-watched a show, or “treated yourself” just to numb out from your life? You’re not alone—but that’s not self-care. That’s escape.

In this powerful Summer Redux episode, we explore the difference between true whole self-care and self-triage—that frantic urge to escape your life instead of build one you love. Tami shares how subtle avoidance habits sneak in, what signs to watch for, a...

Hey friend— If last week’s episode stirred something inside you and you realized, “Yep, I’ve been living out of alignment,” then today’s episode is for you. As I wrapped up recording that last one, I realized I never shared the how. This one is your reset kit. Two simple acronyms—FUN + JOY—that’ll help you realign with what truly matters without guilt, pressure, or needing to overhaul your entire life. This is about moving forwa...

You ever hit one of those moments where you realize, “Wait… how did I get here?”

This episode was recorded during one of those seasons. When life felt loud, work was rewarding, but something felt off. It’s raw, it’s honest, and it’s a reminder that even when we’re walking in purpose, we can drift from what matters most.

If you’ve felt out of alignment lately—or like your calendar isn’t matching your convictions—I think ...
