🎙️ 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.

  • 343| The Real Reason Your Decisions Don’t Hold
    Feb 23 2026

    You made the right call. So why are you still rehearsing it three days later?

    If you’re replaying sound decisions, pressure-testing them after the meeting ends, or quietly reopening threads you already closed, this episode is for you.

    This isn’t hesitation before the decision. It’s something deeper — and it’s costing you more energy than you realize.

    What You’ll Hear
    • Why decisiveness isn’t your real issue
    • The difference between deciding and releasing
    • How outdated protection creates decision drag
    • Why your operating system may still be running on “prove yourself” mode
    Leadership Pattern to Notice

    When a decision doesn’t settle, it keeps running in the background.

    You’re not panicking. You’re not spiraling. You’re carrying it.

    That’s not lack of skill. It’s an operating system still scanning for threats in a season where you no longer need to prove yourself.

    Leadership Noticing

    This week, notice:

    • Where you replay decisions after they’re made
    • Where you gather reassurance you don’t actually need
    • Where you reopen something that was already settled

    No fixing. Just noticing whether the decision truly landed.

    Concepts Introduced

    Decision drag, leadership operating systems, outdated protection patterns, internal reputation management, and the difference between decisiveness and release are explored throughout this episode.

    What’s Coming Next

    This conversation continues as we go deeper into decision drag — how to diagnose it, what your operating system may be protecting, and how leaders recalibrate without losing strength or authority.

    Something I Don’t Want You to Miss

    The problem isn’t how you decide. It’s why something inside you won’t let the decision stay decided.

    That tension isn’t weakness. It’s outdated protection.

    When your operating system upgrades, decisions hold — and leadership feels lighter not because the stakes are lower, but because the internal debate is quieter.

    If this is resonating, that’s the work we begin inside an Aligned Leadership Audit

  • 342| When Leadership Feels Heavier Than It Should
    Feb 16 2026

    If decisions feel heavier than they should — not hard, just heavier — this episode is for you.

    You’re not burned out. You’re not broken. And you’re not lacking skill. In this conversation, Tami names a pattern she sees in senior leaders: decision drag. The internal friction that shows up when you’ve outgrown the version of leadership that got you here.

    What You’ll Hear
    • The difference between burnout and decision drag
    • Why high performers often mislabel friction as exhaustion
    • How outdated leadership identity creates internal debate
    • What shifts when decisions are allowed to fully land
    Leadership Pattern to Notice

    When decisions cost more energy than they used to, it’s not always workload.

    Sometimes it’s misalignment inside your leadership operating system.

    You’re still capable. You’re still performing. But the internal debate is louder than it should be.

    Leadership Noticing This week, notice:
    • Where you revisit decisions that were already made
    • Where you rehearse conversations after the fact
    • Where you gather one more opinion even though you already know

    No fixing. Just noticing.

    Concepts Introduced

    Burnout versus decision drag, leadership identity evolution, internal misalignment, leadership operating systems, and the energetic cost of unsettled decisions are explored throughout this episode.

    What’s Coming Next

    This month, we’re going deeper into decision drag — what causes it, how to diagnose it, and what actually recalibrates it at the system level.

    Something I Don’t Want You to Miss

    The heaviness you’re feeling isn’t weakness. It’s evolution.

    The version of you that got you here may not be the version required for what’s next. And that’s not a crisis — it’s a calling.

    When leadership feels lighter, it’s not because the stakes are lower. It’s because the internal debate is quieter.

    If you’re ready to look at this at the system level, that’s the work we do inside a Leadership Strategy Call.

  • 341| Clarity Isn’t Agreement. It’s Ownership.
    Feb 9 2026

    If you keep re-explaining decisions you thought were already made, this episode is for you.

    In this conversation, Tami names a leadership pattern she sees repeatedly on high-performing teams: decisions that never fully land. She reframes clarity at the leadership level and why consensus, when overused, quietly slows teams down.

    What You’ll Hear
    • Why clarity is not the same as understanding or agreement
    • How consensus can unintentionally create decision drag The role ownership plays in momentum and execution
    • What changes when decisions are truly settled
    Leadership Pattern to Notice

    When decisions keep resurfacing, it’s not resistance. It’s unclear ownership.

    Teams don’t circle conversations. They circle decisions that were never fully owned.

    Leadership Noticing

    This week, notice:

    • Which decisions feel settled and which quietly return
    • Where you feel the urge to re-explain something already decided
    • Where your energy drops because a decision never truly landed

    No fixing. Just noticing.

    Concepts Introduced

    Clarity versus agreement, consensus versus ownership, decision drag, clarity leaks, and executive decision-making systems are explored throughout this episode.

    What’s Coming Next

    Next episode, we’ll continue this conversation by exploring how leaders unintentionally create decision dependency and how to reset it at the system level.

    Something I Don’t Want You to Miss

    Not every decision needs consensus. Some just need clarity on who owns it.

    When leaders stop managing agreement and start establishing ownership, momentum returns and the weight they’ve been carrying begins to lift.
