What if the most meaningful gifts this holiday season aren’t wrapped at all? In this healing podcast episode, Tami explores presence, inner child healing, emotional regulation, and why it’s not the event—but the emotional support around it—that shapes our wounds, memories, and joy.

Through personal stories, faith-based reflection, and nervous system healing insights, this episode invites you to slow down, reconnect with your inner child, and create meaningful moments rooted in presence, connection, and love—especially during the holiday season.

✨ Includes an announcement about The Nourished Woman Within, a 4-month healing journey for women ready to reconnect with themselves.

If you’re craving deeper connection, more intentional self-care, and a way to honor both your inner world and your loved ones during this season, this episode is a reminder that the greatest gifts are the ones we feel—not the ones we open.

Are you missing the sacred invitations God, the Universe, and your Inner Child have been sending you? Most of us don’t realize how many invitations we decline every single day—invitations to heal, to rise, to trust, and to step toward our purpose.

What if your next chapter… your breakthrough… your healing… has already been invited in, but you’ve been too overwhelmed, distracted, or afraid to see it?

In this episode, Tami unpacks:

• The invitations you’ve been ignoring (and why they matter NOW)
• Why your Inner Child holds the key to your next chapter
• How fear and imposter syndrome block your blessings
• What happens when you let what you’ve always wanted “drive by”
• How slowing down helps you hear divine guidance
• Why 2025 was your year of shedding
• And how to accept the invitation to move forward into 2026 with clarity and courage

Through stories of faith, synchronicity, spiritual insight, and even an unexpected lesson from the Abominable Snowman, this conversation helps you recognize your own divine invitations—the ones gently nudging you toward your highest self.

If you’ve felt stuck, unseen, disconnected, or unsure of your path…THIS is the episode that will reconnect you with your purpose, your Inner Child, and the voice within that’s been whispering your next step.

If you’ve ever brushed off your birthday or tried to convince yourself it’s “just another day,” this episode is going to make your Inner Child feel deeply seen!

Because the real reason you downplay your birthday has nothing to do with age…and everything to do with guarding your heart.

Behind every “I don’t need anything” is a younger you who once felt unseen, forgotten, or overshadowed. And your protective ego learned to shrink your desires before disappointment could show up.

In this eye-opening episode, Tami unpacks the childhood wounds that shape how we feel about birthdays—unmet expectations, sibling comparison, the guilt of wanting anything at all, and the emotional disconnect created by busy or overwhelmed parents. She shares personal stories, real-time revelations, and practical tools to reconnect with your Inner Child, understand your love languages, and rewrite the narrative around celebration and receiving.

You’ll explore:

• Why adults dismiss their birthdays
• How childhood wounds impact self-worth
• Why your Inner Child still craves acknowledgment
• How love languages shape your birthday experience
• The guilt around wanting gifts, time, or attention
• Why emotional presence matters more than the party
• How to finally let yourself be celebrated

Your birthday isn’t just another day. It’s the day God sent you here. And your Inner Child deserves to feel seen, loved, and celebrated.

Tune in and start rewriting your birthday story.

Healing rarely shows up through big, dramatic signs. It’s more often woven into the tiny ones you overlook. From painful reminders to unexpected setbacks, this episode reveals how the everyday is trying to transform you.

From a lost earbud to a pair of boots that just wouldn’t fit to a game of Chutes & Ladders, this episode is full of the real-life metaphors, soul whispers, and intuitive nudges that remind us:

• God is always speaking to us
• Stop settling for half@$$ effort
• Time does NOT heal
• Your pain is always pointing you toward healing

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, or struggling to hear your intuition, this episode will remind you that you don’t have to wait for a breakdown or a big sign. Your healing is already happening…in the simplest moments. Listen, breathe, and let these stories meet you where you are. Your soul already knows the way!

The song my Niece sent me: New Wine

This episode is all about resurfacing — that transformative moment when the old version of you finally releases its grip, and you rise with clarity, strength, and unapologetic truth.

Straight from Tami's Paddleboard, she dives into (pun intended):

• The “underworld phase” and shadow work — why breakdowns often lead to breakthroughs
• Outgrowing old identities and stepping into your next evolution
• Recognizing where you’ve been giving away your power
• Releasing the people-pleaser and embracing authentic self-expression
• Speaking your truth, even when it scares you
• Healing fear of rejection and choosing self-trust
• What it feels like to resurface into a new timeline — grounded, aligned, and empowered

If you’re navigating spiritual awakenings, emotional healing, reclaiming your voice, or shedding old patterns, this episode is your permission to rise, reclaim, and resurface fully as your most authentic self.

I was prepared for the physical challenges of my first HYROX event. What I didn’t expect was for it to reveal just how much emotional weight I’d been carrying.

Somewhere between the training, the illness, the IV drips, and the intensity of race day, HYROX pulled up years of grief, loneliness, self-protection, and the quiet ache of doing life solo for far too long.

The sudden 14-pound weight spike in just two weeks became the wake-up call I couldn’t ignore — the physical proof of everything I’d been holding in.

This event didn’t just test my body. It cracked open everything I’ve been avoiding. It forced me to feel the pain I’ve suppressed… maybe even used fitness to outrun. And it made me face the ways I’ve kept people at a distance because it felt safer than risking disappointment.

This is the real story of how HYROX became less about the competition and more about healing, trauma patterns, and emotional clarity.

If you’ve ever pushed down your pain until it showed up in your body… If you’ve ever kept people at arm’s length because disappointment hurts more than loneliness… If you’ve ever been confronted with the truth you’ve been avoiding...

This episode is going to hit home.
