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

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.

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.

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...

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 ...

This episode is more than just a moment of remembrance—it’s an invitation to realignment.

In this episode, I’m inviting you into a conversation about life, legacy, and the kind of leadership that matters most.

Most people walk into conflict like it’s a battlefield. They’re reactive. Defensive. And often unclear about what they’re even fighting for.

But what if conflict could become a catalyst instead of a collapse? In today’s episode, I share 3 things you need to cultivate before conflict even begins—whether it’s at work, at home, or in your own mind.

If you’ve ever left a conversation feeling frustrated, misunderstood, or ...

Have you ever left a conversation thinking, “Why did I say it that way?” or “Why didn’t I just say what I really meant?”

The truth is, most communication breakdowns don’t come from what’s said—but from what’s left unsaid or misunderstood beneath the surface. In this episode, we’re unpacking how your core motivation (aka the driving force behind your words, reactions, and silence) can either strengthen or sabotage your r...

300 episodes. If you had asked me at the very beginning if I thought I’d still be showing up every week—still growing, still learning, still having more to say—I’m not sure I would have believed you.

But here we are. And what I’ve discovered along the way is this: You’re not just called to do more. You’re called to become more.

Today’s episode isn’t just a celebration of reaching a number—it’s a celebration of the be...

Ever walked into your closet and thought, “I have nothing to wear,” even though it’s packed with clothes? It’s not that you don’t have options—it’s that nothing fits the way it used to.

That’s what this episode is about. You’ve built success. You’ve followed the plan. But now? Something feels off. You’re in a new season—and what used to work no longer fits. That doesn’t mean you’re lost. It means you’re ready for clarit...
