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, why it matters, and how you are invited into this next season with me.

💬 “It’s not just a new name. It’s a new outfit for the voice I’ve grown into.”

• Growth doesn’t mean the past was wrong. Like a child outgrowing a T-ball bat or clothes that no longer fit, this rebrand reflects natural, necessary growth—yours and mine.
• The podcast is evolving from The Full Weight of Joy to A Leader’s Purpose. This new season focuses on leadership identity, legacy, and impact for purpose-driven leaders ready for more.
• You don’t have to prove your worth to lead well. It’s time to lead with clarity, not pressure—and to live a life that feels as good as it looks.
• This isn’t just a rebrand—it’s a recalibration. You’re invited into a deeper conversation about how to lead from within, integrate your whole self, and live out your purpose boldly.
• Success isn’t your whole story. The next chapter requires new tools, new questions, and new alignment—and you’re ready for it.

➡️ “This rebrand is not about leaving something behind. It’s about stepping into what fits you now.”

If you’ve outgrown a dream, role, or version of success, this episode is your permission slip to evolve.

Take inventory this week: Where are you still swinging with a “T-ball bat” when it’s time to step into the big leagues of your calling? Name one area where you’re ready for deeper alignment and bolder leadership—and what needs to shift to support that.

"What version of success have you outgrown—and what version of yourself is waiting to be seen?

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, and how to create a rhythm of rest and restoration before burnout takes over.

This conversation will challenge how you think about your routines, responsibilities, and rest. It’s not about doing more—it’s about doing what actually fills your cup.

If you’re craving peace, presence, and purpose—this one’s for you.

💬 “You can’t escape your way into peace. You have to create a life you don’t want to run from.”

“Rest is not the opposite of productivity. Escape is.”

“You’re not avoiding because you don’t care—you’re avoiding because you care too much and don’t know how to refill.”

• Escape Mode ≠ Self-Care When you feel the need to escape your life—through TV, travel, social scrolling, or numbing behaviors—you’re not resting, you’re surviving. That’s self-triage, not restoration.
• The Warning Signs Are Subtle at First Avoidance of simple tasks, overwhelm that never lifts, short-lived relief from “treat yourself” activities—these are all signs that your self-care might actually be escapism in disguise.
• Whole Self-Care Fills, Not Patches True self-care is proactive, consistent, and sustaining. It doesn’t “fix” the pain for a moment—it helps prevent the crash altogether. Whole self-care includes things like mindfulness, movement, stillness, community, and values-based decisions.
• Balance Isn’t Equal, It’s Intentional Your energy won’t be split 50/50 in every season. Balance means knowing what you need right now to stay grounded and joyful—and intentionally adjusting your rhythm to support that.
• Small Shifts → Big Results One boundary. One intentional no. One nourishing action instead of a numbing one. That’s how you start building a life you don’t want to run from. Your cup doesn’t need to be perfect—it just needs to stop leaking.

➡️ Taking care of yourself should be a practice you incorporate every day…not as escape plan (let’s not chuck it all and move to Bali).

Check in with yourself this week: Are you numbing or nourishing? Make one small shift from avoidance to intentional care. Bonus: Start a “whole self-care” list to remind yourself what truly refuels you.

Where in your life are you using “rest” to escape instead of to restore? What would change if you got honest about what you really need?

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 forward with intention, grace, and (yes!) a little bit of fun.

Grab your notebook or just listen in your car while you breathe a little deeper and remind yourself: you get to choose how this next chapter feels.

Ready to stop circling your calling and finally get clear on what’s next? Take the Purpose Map Quiz—just 7 powerful questions to uncover what’s keeping you stuck and the next aligned step you’re meant to take.
