Hey Friends! It's Tami again, and I'm so grateful to have you tuning in to another episode of The Full Weight of Joy podcast. I want to say thank you to those who have reached out to ask about the kids and their wisdom teeth! They are doing good. It was an experience for sure. I was able to be there for them, and it reminded me of the importance of being present. This episode dives into self-aware...

Hey friend, welcome to the show! Today, I'm diving into the fascinating world of stained glass windows and how they beautifully symbolize our uniqueness and purpose. I absolutely love the intricate designs and vibrant colors of stained glass, and I think they perfectly illustrate how each of us, with our diverse experiences, traits, and emotions, contributes to a larger, cohesive picture. I'll als...

"Your strengths aren't just personality traits - they're your God-given tools for creating impact and experiencing fulfillment.” ~Tami     Do you love those little quizzes that tell you about you? Like the ones on Facebook that tell you what animal you are or the song that is your “life’s” song? I love those. I know they are senseless and meaningless..and there is NOTHING about you that goes into...

Have I ever told you that I grew up in Italy? One of the perks of being a military BRAT was that we got to travel and live in really cool places. It changed the way I saw the world. We didn’t just travel to Italy on vacation for a few days, we lived there for over three YEARS. As I was thinking about what I wanted to talk about today, a staircase came to my mind. The entire house was built around...

Here we are! The first episode of 2025. Wow, I cannot believe we are a quarter through the century. We are starting the year off with a bang and having both kids get a necessary dental procedure out of the way. When i planned it, I went through a thought process (a decision-making framework)  that helped me figure out what I needed to make it work. Self-awareness, self-development, self-understand...

What if it could be easy? I’ve heard people say this before and never could see how. If it were easy I’d know…and I’d be able to choose it. However, growing up we were taught to work hard, earn what you got, and strive to be the best…which are not inherently wrong…BUT they do not take into consideration the way God wired you.  When I say it could be easy- I truly mean it can. We can serve with eas...

"What if I told you that favor isn't just luck or blessing – it's an active force waiting to be understood and embraced?" -Tami Imlay   I’m excited to share my “word of the year” with you! I’m not sure if you picked a word for the year or not. I want to encourage you to try it if you haven’t already done so. It’s worth it. What do you want to focus on in 2025? It doesn’t have to be hard. You can d...

Whether it is for a non-profit organization, volunteer work or our...

I would have never guessed how much I would love having chickens. I also never, in a million years, thought that I would learn life and business lessons from them…but here we are. As I reflected on things I learned in 2024, I realized that many of the lessons would have been easier to learn if I had paid attention to my chickens. Listen in! I have eight lessons from the coop that can change your l...

"Limiting beliefs serve as mental barriers that hinder individuals from reaching their full potential and experiencing a fulfilling life." ~Tami Imlay   Do you know what your limiting beliefs are costing you? I didn’t realize how much they were costing me in the beginning…I didn’t realize how many areas of my life were determined by my beliefs. When I started to dig in, I realized that I had to sh...

My name is Tami, and I'm here to guide you on a personal journey to discover what make...

Ok…so the word WORK may have four letters, but it is NOT a 4-letter word! We have to stop looking at work as a punishment and realize it is a purpose. In today’s episode, I want share some of the insights I’ve had recently about work. My work and some of the things I have been hearing disturbs me a bit. We are called to work. We are created to work- and we don’t have to dread it. We also don’t nee...

Overwhelm comes when we try to do all the things rather than the right ones! Times that I start to feel overwhelmed, I start looking at what I am avoiding (yes, a lot of times I tend to add things to my list because I am avoiding something that I need to do), and I look at what I am doing too much of. These two questions changed my life. I wanted to give you the same tools I use for myself. “Overw...

Ever feel like you are wearing a mask? Just like at a masquerade ball, at times, we put on these masks to hide our true selves. It comes from a fear of vulnerability and not knowing how others will perceive us. Friend, can we stop putting on these masks? Can we all admit that we do not have it all together and are all insecure somehow? The crazy thing is I bet if you ask your friend- the way you a...

What you focus on grows. Have you heard that? You’ve all heard about the blue car or yellow car phenomenon…you don’t see them until you are looking for it. It’s still there-they have always been there- you just didn’t notice it. Today I wanted to dive into things that we can measure but we typically don’t think about or see. As we step into growth and become who God has called us to be there are c...

"Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom." – Aristotle Proverbs 2:6 "For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding." Have you ever felt like you were “faking it ‘till you make it?” How about that you weren’t capable or worthy of the calling or role you have stepped into? I know I have. I am hearing more and more about how Imposter Syndrome is keeping people fro...

Do you crave authenticity? I know I do. Above all, I want to be myself. I want to feel like myself, and I want to do what God has called me to do. We talk about purpose and wanting to know why we are here on this earth…but what people (including myself for several years) avoid is looking at WHO God created us to be so we can do what he planned for us in advance and the purpose and impact He has gi...

Matthew 5:16 – "In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."   Hey Friend! Today, I wanted to give you a little sneak peek into the amazing Vision Lab that we just wrapped up. Creating a vision is more than a craft project or envisioning a life of luxury. Creating a vision is a multifaceted plan of attack, framework, and...

How many times do you choose what you want at the moment over what you know you need long-term? Trading the momentary comfort for future fulfillment? Friend, I used to do this a lot. I would rationalize, justify…and then feel guilty about my choices later. Not anymore! Now that we have hashed out our vision and goals- it is time to use that to move our lives forward! We are worthy of the life God...

"In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead." James 2:17   Friend! We have spent an amazing month talking about VISION.
