The Full Weight of Joy: Empowering Christian Moms to Create, Design, and Launch a Purpose-Aligned Business and Life Tami Marie Imlay- Purpose Coach, International Speaker, Joy- Cultivator, Change Maker

When was there a time that you knew all the information, took action, and everything worked out exactly as you planned and expected? 
I don't think that has ever happened to me. Really, how it goes is …get an idea…stew on it…get frustrated with myself for not taking action, search for information, be paralyzed by information…frustrated with myself…take action…, and gain a small bit of clarity! 
Rarely, when we are working on something important do we get all the details  before we begin. It gets to the point where we just have to trust it will work out. Friend! This is also how it needs to work with our God-dream and our purpose…we have to trust that it will work out without having all the information. The awesome thing is that we can trust the one who has the details. 
In today’s episode we dive into the fact that you have the freedom to choose and you can’t choose wrong!  You heard me right…you can’t choose wrong- BUT you HAVE to choose and go! Let’s do this! Don’t you worry- God’s plans for you cannot be thwarted!

Ever walk away from a conversation (or argument 🫣) and feel guilt or shame about how it went down?
YEAAAAA , me neither…. Ok! So, I have way more often than I would like to admit. I think about how the conversation did not reflect my intentions, my character, or how I wanted the other person to feel. I do not want to disrespect or cause harm to people—even in the heat of the moment. 
When we live in our reactions, this is the outcome- disrespect, emotionally charged…misunderstandings….
We can be intentional, empathetic, and compassionate when we live in our responses. We can take the moment to reflect on our values, our hearts, and our intentions. 
 
We don’t have to live in our reactions—our words have power, and we can harness and control them. We can intentionally choose our words to give life and not destroy it. 
In today’s podcast, we talk about reactions vs responses. Let’s do this!

Key Takeaways:
Emotional Control: Reacting is driven by immediate emotions, while responding involves thoughtful consideration and choice.
Time Factor: Reacting is impulsive and quick, whereas responding requires processing information and emotions before acting.
Intentionality: Reacting is automatic and unintentional, while responding is conscious and aligns with core values.
Outcome Orientation: Reacting often leads to negative consequences and misunderstandings while responding can result in positive outcomes and effective communication.
Impact on Relationships: Reacting can hinder authentic communication and connection, while responding can strengthen relationships, foster respect, and deepen understanding.
Purpose-Aligned Living: Cultivating emotional control, taking time to respond, acting intentionally, focusing on positive outcomes, and prioritizing relationships are essential for living a life aligned with purpose.
 
Journal Question: 
Reflect on a recent situation where you reacted impulsively. How might the outcome have differed if you had taken the time to respond thoughtfully? What steps can you take to cultivate emotional control and align your actions with your core values in the future?"

"Take one step forward each day and embrace the journey of discovering your unique highlights and purpose." ~Tami Imlay
 
“The action and obedient step is your responsibility; the outcome and result belong to God.” ~Tami Imlay
Have you ever had one of those days where you just can't seem to get going? You know, the kind where your brain feels like it's moving in slow motion and you can't even decide what to wear? Well, today was one of those days for me. But as I was recording this episode, I had some insights that I hope will inspire you. Remember, good is good enough because God is great enough.
First, I want to remind you to connect with me on Instagram and Facebook at @tamimariecoaching. I'd love to see you there and hear about your journey!
Now, let's talk about those slow days. Sometimes, we wake up with a full to-do list and a head full of guilt about all the things we need to get done. But here's the thing: it's okay to slow down. There's always a to-do list, and there's always more to do. What's important is that we don't let the weight of our responsibilities hold us back from embracing our purpose and calling.
As I was praying and doing my quiet time today, I was reminded that our work is important for the kingdom. But God doesn't call us to do great work—He calls us to do good work. It's our obedience and action that matter, not the results. The outcomes and ripple effects are His responsibility.
So, let's take a moment to breathe and focus on the next step. Whether you're fixing things on your website, reaching out to people, or just trying to get through your day, remember that God created our good work before we even existed. He gets to do the great work.
And hey, let's not forget to have some fun along the way! Embrace the unique abilities and perspectives God has given you. Look for the highlights and themes in your life that point to your calling. It's these details that make your journey so special.
Finally, I want to leave you with a journal question: What's one thing that God's been calling you to do that you haven't done yet? Take a moment to think about it and take that step today.
If you're feeling called to explore your purpose and want to see how it can lead to freedom in various areas of your life, reach out to me. I'm putting together a small, powerful group in July to help you turn your calling into a business and live a life of freedom. Let's connect and talk about what's possible!
Thanks for joining me today. Remember, you don't have to do everything perfectly. Take one step at a time, and trust that God will guide your path.
Until next time, friend. Let's do this together!

Key Takeaways:
Embrace Slow Progress: The speaker emphasizes the importance of taking one step forward each day and embracing the journey, rather than focusing solely on achieving great work.
Focus on Good Work: It's more important to concentrate on doing good work consistently, as the outcomes are ultimately in God's hands.
Overcome Struggles: Both external and internal struggles are part of stepping into one's purpose and calling, and these can be overcome through slow, steady action.
Discover Your Purpose: The journey involves discovering one's unique highlights and purpose, which can lead to a more fulfilling life.
 
Journal Question: 
Reflect on a recent day when you felt unproductive. What internal and external struggles did you face, and how can you take one small step forward each day to overcome these challenges and move closer to discovering your unique purpose?"

Hey, I am so glad that you're here. Welcome to the podcast, and I've got a great episode for you. Today, we're talking about renewing your mind and deciding in advance to preemptively choose what you're going to think about and think about those lovely things, whether it's travel or flowers or anything. There's so many lovely things that we can focus our mind on. And if we give ourselves some time to do that, how much easier it is to renew our mind, renew our spirit, and stay focused on the positive instead of all the negative that's around us? 
So here we go again- talking about something we ALL know we need to do and yet God sends us little reminders that it's time to revisit the conversation. Well that's what happened to me. 
 I love how he knows us so intimately, how He's created us. And then He has an answer for some of the things. And it's like, okay, well, I'm going to wire you to focus more on the negative, to see the negative, to have a negative bias- to keep you safe. The negative bias to where we are more likely to see, to notice, to take in the negative instead of taking in the positive. And the reason why is for survival. It's for safety. It's to keep us in a protected state. But then He's like, that's not good enough for you. He's like, I get it. You need to have some of that. You need to take in and understand and feel when there's danger around. And you need to be able to discern your environment. However, with your mind, it's vital that you don't keep going to the negative and that you don't focus and dwell on the negative.

Key Takeaways:
Our natural negative bias can hinder our ability to focus on the positive aspects of life.
Intentionally renewing our minds by filling them with good, true, noble, and lovely things is important.
Our beliefs shape our reality, so it's crucial to choose thoughts, music, and media that uplift the spirit and align with God's teachings.
Daily practices such as prayer, meditation, and gratitude can help in renewing the mind.
Establishing a strong foundation of positivity and faith prepares our minds for challenges.
Choosing joy in all circumstances and maintaining a positive mindset can have transformative effects.
Renewing the mind is a deliberate and ongoing process that can lead to a more fulfilling and spiritually aligned life.
Journal Question: 
Reflect on your daily thoughts, beliefs, and media consumption. How do they align with your desire for a more fulfilling and spiritually aligned life? What intentional steps can you take to renew your mind and choose joy in all circumstances?

"You can't depend on external solutions to fix internal challenges! "
 
Hey there, welcome to the Full Weight of Joy podcast! This is the go-to space for women who are ready to ditch the stress and unrealistic expectations and instead step into a life filled with joy. Whether you're navigating life's ups and downs, facing challenges, or just trying to find joy right where you are, even when it feels like moving to Bali is the only solution, you're in the right place. This podcast is for women who want to embrace who God called them to be and shine as the light on a hill. And guess what? When we stand together, our light becomes even brighter!
I'm Tami, your host. With over a decade of experience as a master-certified life coach and trained therapist, I've been helping women like you step into their true calling and shine. Are you ready to start your journey? Let's do this together.
Welcome back to the podcast!  I help determined, faith-led women design and launch purpose-centered lives and businesses. Today’s episode is a game-changer. But first, I have a little favor to ask. If you haven't already, please leave a rating and review for the podcast. It helps the podcast algorithm suggest this show to others, and I love reading your feedback—it keeps me motivated!
Now, let's dive in. Have you ever woken up feeling out of whack, misaligned, or just plain discontent? Maybe you feel guilty about it because you have a good life, great kids, and you're doing your best. But that internal struggle of balancing work, personal life, self-care, and all the hats we wear can be overwhelming. It's not just about quick fixes like a spa day or a walk; it's about true, whole self-care in every area of your life.
Often, we look for external solutions to fix these internal struggles, but they only provide temporary relief. Real, lasting change comes from within. Here are three reasons why:
1. Mismatch Focus: Our challenges often stem from personal beliefs, emotions, thoughts, self-awareness, core values, and priorities. Looking for external fixes can temporarily mask the issue but won't solve the root cause.
2. Temporary Relief: External solutions are like band-aids—they might help for a moment but need to be changed or removed eventually. We need permanent transformations that come from addressing the source of our struggles.
3. Dependency on External Solutions: Relying on external fixes undermines your personal power and the gifts God has given you. It disconnects you from your core values and priorities.
So, how do we look within to fix our internal struggles?
1. Identify Core Motivations: Understanding what's causing the imbalance helps you address the root cause rather than just the symptoms. Tools like the Enneagram can help you dive deep into your core motivations.
2. Personal Growth and Empowerment: Honest introspection leads to true transformation. It might be challenging, but facing your thoughts and beliefs can empower you and bring lasting change.
3. Authentic and Sustainable Change: By looking within, you create a foundation for positive change that impacts all areas of your life. You'll feel more fulfilled and at peace, and this transformation will ripple out to those around you.
