Advertise on podcast: Tami Talks: Stories to Heal Your Inner Child

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!! To celebrate 100 episodes, Tami is giving away a $100 Amazon gift card for you to spend on your inner child—something fun, playful, and joy-filled.

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. This program supports women in rebuilding trust within their bodies, healing their relationship with food, and reconnecting with the woman within.

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.

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.

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!

From painful reminders to unexpected setbacks, this episode reveals how the everyday is trying to transform you.

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. Sponsored by Hydralive 💧 First-time clients can get IV therapy for $99.
