What if saying yes to your soul meant risking everything? After leaving her corporate job, selling nearly all her belongings, and setting out to travel the world, Robin Finney — “The Wandering Aunt” — discovered what true freedom really costs.

Her leap of faith eventually led to bankruptcy — but also to deep healing, renewed trust, and a calling to help other women release shame around money and self-worth. In this raw and empowering episode, Tami and Robin explore what it means to surrender control, rebuild after loss, and live in alignment with your truth. Through her “Soulo Adventures,” Robin now helps others face the unknown with courage — proving that sometimes the breakdown is the breakthrough.

You can’t build an authentic life while living for someone else’s approval.

In this episode, Tami records lakeside (while sitting on a fallen log) to unpack how to unlearn conformity, heal what’s blocking your self-expression, and reconnect with your inner child — so you can build your dreams from a place of wholeness, not wounds.

A powerful reminder that authenticity isn’t rebellion — it’s alignment.

That wake-up call pushed Brie Pawlak to realize that a “safe” engineering job wasn’t truly safe if it meant abandoning their soul’s purpose.

Jared Markiewicz’s story started long before opening up his gym, Functional Integrated Training. Growing up as an only child with an absent father working to provide, he often struggled to feel seen. After losing the “big brother” energy he once found with neighborhood friends, Jared carried the sting of abandonment. That wound shaped his mission to become the “big brother” figure he once needed, whether training at his gym, mentoring high-achieving men, or showing up daily for his daughters and the young girls on their team.

For over 13 years, Jared has helped busy parents and professionals thrive through strength training, small group coaching, and mentorship. In this heartfelt conversation, Tami and Jared go beyond fitness to explore its impact on fatherhood, failure, and fulfillment. They dive into how childhood experiences shape purpose, why presence matters more than perfection, and the ripple effect of physical health on emotional well-being and relationships.

Takeaways:

• How childhood wounds shape leadership and purpose
• Fitness as a foundation for emotional connection & self-worth
• Progress over perfection in growth, parenting, and coaching
• The power of validation, repair, and mentorship
• Why being physically healthy impacts kids’ emotional health

In this episode of Tami Talks: Unscripted Healing, Tami takes you on a journey of breaking through invisible blocks — but not in the way you might expect. From a hike full of barriers (and bugs) that mirrored life’s obstacles, to the moment in the gym when “I’m dying” really meant “I’m alive,” these stories reveal how fear, conditioning, and old beliefs disguise themselves as protection — when in reality, they’re keeping us stuck.

Through lessons in nature, community, and even her own body demanding attention, Tami unpacks what it really means to trust the unseen, lean into intuition, and let faith lead the way.

If you’ve been exhausted, second-guessing yourself, or waiting for the “perfect” path to appear, this episode is your reminder that clarity comes in motion — and your path isn’t meant to look like anyone else’s.

✨ You’re not broken. You’re realigning. And sometimes the bugs, the barriers, and even the burn are proof that you’re exactly where you need to be.

In this Tami Talks - Soul Talk episode, I sit down with my friend Odalo for a raw, unfiltered conversation about healing, spirituality, and the fire of personal growth. Together, we explore the deeper layers of what it means to grow beyond old patterns, reclaim our truth, and step into authenticity.

This isn’t a “typical” self-help chat! It’s about the messy, real, and transformative journey we’re all on. We basically hit "record" and let the conversation go from there! Enjoy!

Together we explore:

• How speaking your truth can change everything
• Healing is a lifelong journey that asks for patience and self-compassion.
• The difference between religious belief and personal spirituality
• Anger, when embraced, can be a powerful tool for transformation.
• Success is not about societal standards but about personal fulfillment.
• Authenticity and vulnerability are what rebuild trust and deepen connection.
• Growth often comes through the fire — the moments that stretch and challenge us most.

This conversation dives beneath surface-level “self-help” and into the real work of growth — facing wounds, leaning into discomfort, and embracing the fire that shapes who we become.
