Hey Friend!

Ever wondered why your biggest struggles seem to come right before your biggest breakthroughs? In this powerful episode, Tami shares how what feels like a setback might actually be your setup. Through a blend of story, faith, and practical insight, you’ll learn how your greatest pain might just be your greatest platform.

Tami unpacks her SHINE Framework to walk you through five transformative ways to turn hardship into holy purpose—because the fire you're walking through isn't meant to burn you, it's meant to refine you.

You’ll walk away with clarity, encouragement, and a fresh lens on how your life experiences have prepared you to lead, love, and live more boldly.

“Your hardest moments don’t just leave scars—they leave blueprints for your impact.” ~Tami Imlay
