Tami Talks: Stories to Heal Your Inner Child

Connection doesn’t usually snap. It fades. In this episode, recorded on 2/22 — a day symbolizing partnership and alignment — I share a simple ribbon exercise I did with my kids at the dinner table. What happened in real time explained so much about relationships, parenting, emotional availability…and the slow unraveling that can happen when we stop truly showing up. We talk about: • Why connection fades over time • The difference between healthy space and painful distance • Emotional misattunement (and how you can feel it) • How my marriage slowly unraveled — without one dramatic breaking point • Emotional availability and “learning to swim” • Repair in relationships (especially with kids) • When to loosen the string, when to tighten it, and when to cut it • The subtle ways we abandon ourselves — not just in pain, but in our dreams Disconnection rarely comes from one explosive moment. It happens in micro-moments — distraction, unresolved tension, repeated unmet needs, and emotional avoidance. And the most important connection you’ll ever hold? The one with yourself. If you’ve ever felt unseen, unheard, or like something is “off” in a relationship… this episode will help you understand what’s really happening — and how to begin reconnecting.

If life had a “breaking point starter pack,” I checked every box this week - smoke alarms, paying $100 to break into my own car, then a full existential meltdown in my garage. So obviously, the next logical step was to sit by a dam on the lake and cry with my inner child. Some weeks don’t fall apart — they crack something open. In this episode, I share a real-time story of burnout, emotional overwhelm, inner child healing, intuition, surrender, and what happens when you stop performing and start listening to what your body and heart are actually trying to say. If you’ve been feeling anxious, drained, stuck in survival mode, or like you can’t carry the same pain into another chapter… this one is for you. In This Episode, We Explore: • Burnout and emotional overload • People-pleasing vs authentic leadership • Nervous system exhaustion and release • Inner child needs vs survival patterns • Intuition and following subtle guidance • Letting go of old pain, roles, and stories • Faith, surrender, and trusting the unknown • Why not everything that feels broken is beyond repair Quick Updates Mentioned at the Top ✨ Best of Madison nominations (Podcast + F45 Madison West) ✨ Winter Free Week at F45 Madison West — Feb 23–28 (all classes free) If This Episode Resonated… Share it with someone who might need permission to put something down.

What happens when you stop forcing your life…and start trusting the nudges? In this powerful “where are they now?” episode, returning guest Karen Johnson joins me for her fourth appearance on the podcast to reflect on how healing unfolds over time — not in a straight line, but in layers. From her first appearance on Episode 7 to now, Karen shares how her journey has evolved through career transitions, faith, inner child healing, physical health challenges, and redefining success on her own terms. This conversation is a living example of what can happen when ego steps aside, and you begin taking the next right step, even without having the full plan. In this episode, we explore: Why healing isn’t an on/off switch — it’s a knob Leaving a long-term career and releasing status-based identity Listening to intuition and faith-based nudges Inner child healing and reclaiming joy Menopause, hormones, Hashimoto’s, and rebuilding body trust GLP-1 medications as a support tool (not a shortcut or failure) How healing yourself impacts your relationships and marriage Creating space for peace, alignment, and possibility This episode is for anyone who: • Feels stuck in a life that looks “successful” but feels misaligned • Is navigating midlife changes in body, career, or identity • Is tired of compartmentalizing healing and wants wholeness • Needs reassurance that it’s not too late — and you’re not behind If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s safe to listen to that quiet pull inside you, this conversation will remind you: Get quiet. Breathe. Create space. The nudges know the way. 🎧 To hear the full evolution of Karen’s story, check out her earlier episodes: Episode 7 Episode 27 Episode 74 Thank you for pressing play and being part of this healing journey!

Episode #100 of the Tami Talks: Unscripted Healing Podcast is more than a milestone; it’s a living example of what happens when you stop forcing, start listening, and allow divine timing to lead. This episode unfolds from a spontaneous, unplanned trip to Sedona, a place known for spiritual awakening, energetic recalibration, and deep inner work. What begins as a quiet grocery store moment (“bless you” after a sneeze) becomes a soul-level meeting that confirms why this podcast exists…and why this 100th episode could never have been planned. Tami is joined by her newest soul sister, Maureen Webb, a former Chicago police officer turned spiritual guide who blends Human Design, astrology, Gene Keys, and shadow work into grounded, practical tools for healing and self-understanding. Together, they share an honest, emotional, and deeply human conversation about: Worthiness and receiving support Body image and lifelong dieting patterns Grief, the mother wound, and nervous system safety Inner child healing and shadow work (without retraumatizing) Trusting intuition before ego steps in Why this moment—and this year—matters so much If you’ve been waiting for a sign to trust your intuition…this might be it. 🎉 Episode 100 Giveaway!!

Recorded live from the hillside in Sedona, this episode explores why learning to receive may be the missing piece in your healing journey. If you’ve been feeling tired, blocked, or resistant to rest and support, this conversation is an invitation to soften and allow. We also dive into how childhood conditioning creates energetic blocks, how over-giving leads to burnout and self-abandonment, and why true healing begins when the body feels safe enough to receive. This episode weaves together somatic awareness, energy clearing, holistic wellness, and trauma-informed healing to show why healing isn’t about doing more — it’s about resisting less. If you’ve been feeling tired, blocked, or like something is shifting beneath the surface, this episode is an invitation to slow down, listen to your body, and allow yourself to receive. If this episode resonates and you’re feeling called to go deeper, The Nourished Woman Within is a space where we tend to the original wounds that shape our relationship with food, movement, rest, and self-worth. Through inner child work, nourishment, nervous system support, and energetic hygiene, this work helps you stop resisting and start receiving — from yourself and from life.

There is no manual for life, and if you’re waiting for one before you take the next step, this episode is for you. In this episode of Tami Talks: Unscripted Healing, Tami explores what it really means to take the first step without seeing the whole staircase. When there is no instruction manual, no guaranteed outcome, and no clear plan, trust becomes the path. This conversation weaves together a real-time story about a last-minute invitation to Sedona, the ego spiral that followed, and the deeper lesson underneath it all: learning how to trust your intuition instead of waiting for certainty. We talk about: Why there is no manual for healing, purpose, parenting, or growth What it looks like to take the first step in faith How to tell the difference between intuition and ego Healing the worthiness wound and people-pleasing patterns Why outsourcing your joy and validation keeps you stuck Rebuilding trust with your body, food, and inner child If you’ve been waiting for permission, clarity, or a full roadmap before moving forward, this episode is your reminder: you don’t need the whole staircase — just the next step. ✨ The Nourished Woman Within is beginning soon.

Calling “Cut” on the Life You’ve Outgrown is for anyone who’s realizing the childhood scripts running your adult life may be keeping you stuck — and you’re ready to step into the role of director for your next scene. You’re not broken. You’re just waking up mid-story. If your life were a movie…would you actually want to watch it? Or would you be scrolling, waiting for something to change? In this episode, we explore how many of the roles, reactions, and patterns we live from today were written long before we had language, boundaries, or choice — and how awareness is the moment you finally get to call “CUT” and choose a new scene. In this episode, we explore: Imagining your life as a story — and noticing where you’re on autopilot Childhood survival roles like The Good Kid, The Strong One, and The Empath Why repeating patterns doesn’t mean you’re broken — it means you were trained How healing begins the moment you say “CUT” with self-respect The role ego plays in filling in blanks and rewriting your script Real-life stories with my kids that show how ego narratives form early Soul contracts and why certain people enter (and exit) your story Why avoiding “sad” emotions also blocks joy and connection How to choose the next scene without needing to control the entire story Reflection questions to sit with: If your life were a movie, what scene are you in right now? Are you watching from the audience… or sitting in the director’s chair? What role are you ready to release? What would it look like to gently — but firmly — call “CUT” on what you’ve outgrown?

2025 didn’t break you — it refined you. And 2026 isn’t asking you to become someone new. It’s asking you to come home. In this episode, we explore why the “new year, new you” mindset often leads to burnout and self-sabotage — and why real change doesn’t come from urgency, hustle, or fixing yourself. We talk about: Why your body and nervous system respond to safety, not pressure How integration matters more than intensity right now Why so many New Year goals fail — and what actually supports lasting change The difference between reinventing yourself and returning to who you’ve always been This is the heart behind The Nourished Woman Within — a space where nutrition, movement, energy, faith, and inner child healing come together instead of competing.  If you’re in the in-between…no longer who you were, not quite who you’re becoming…this episode is for you.

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. And don't forget to rate the episode and/or comment if something in the episode resonated with you! 

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!

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...

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.

Healing isn’t just something we do for ourselves, it’s something that moves through past and future generations.
