The Full Weight of Joy: A Journey to Purpose and Fulfillment for Faith-Led Women Seeking Transformation, Inner Peace, and to Tami Marie Imlay- Purpose Coach, International Speaker, Joy- Cultivator, Change Maker

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.

"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.

Key Takeaways:
Self-care and balance are essential across all aspects of life.
Seeking external solutions for internal issues only provides temporary relief and fosters dependency.
Introspection and self-reflection are crucial for addressing core motivations and achieving personal growth.
Prioritizing self-awareness, empowerment, and alignment with core values leads to lasting transformation and fulfillment.
By acknowledging and tackling internal struggles, individuals can attain a greater sense of peac

So often, we sit and wait for the right time. We wait for more information or to see our next steps clearly. Friend, I know I wasted too much time doing it…and I have a feeling you do, too. In today’s episode, I encourage you to take action RIGHT NOW. Stop waiting for things to be “right,” “perfect,” or “feel ready” before you start taking action. It’s time to BREAK free of our comfort zone, take a step in faith, and go for your God-dream. Listen in to find out more! 
 
Let's Dive In
Today’s episode is a little kick in the pants – the push we all need sometimes. It's about taking action, even when we feel like we don't have enough information. We often wait, gather data and procrastinate, thinking we need to know everything before we start. But life is short, and time is our most precious resource.
I've been there, too. I love learning and growing, but I've realized that being intentional about taking action is key. I want my kids to see what's possible, to see me take steps, make mistakes, and keep going. It's not about having all the answers; it's about moving forward and trusting that God will direct our path.
Why Action Matters
Safety keeps us stuck. It keeps us overwhelmed and anxious. If you have dreams and goals, staying in a place of safety won't get you there. Success comes from taking action, from being a doer of the word. As James 2:14-17 says, faith without works is dead. We need to put our faith into action, to love in deed and in truth.
It's not about doing the perfect thing; it's about doing something. God will direct our steps, but we need to take that first step. Information by itself is dead. What good is it if we know how to solve a problem but don't take action?
Discover Your Purpose
So, what's your next step? What is God calling you to do? Have you asked yourself what your purpose is? He has given each of us a purpose and a future full of hope and joy. It's time to step out of the safety zone and into the joy of action.
If you're ready to explore your purpose and take action, DM me on Instagram. In July, I'm starting a small group for women to shed the weight of the world and discover their purpose, gifts, and strengths. We'll work together to figure out your next steps and how you can walk in obedience to God.
Let's Connect
If you're interested, let's chat. Get on a call with me for 20 minutes, and let's see what's possible for you. When you start shedding what others say and listening to God, everything becomes clearer. You don't need all the answers; God will provide the way.
Ready to explore this journey? DM me on Instagram at @tamimariecoaching. Let's discover your purpose and step into the full weight of joy together.
Until next time, keep shining!

“True freedom and joy come from living your purpose and serving others.” ~ Tami Imlay
 
Have you heard the story of the giant Buddha statue from the 13th Century? I know I have heard it before, but this time, when I heard the story, it hit differently. I won’t give away the story—you can tune in and listen to it—it’s good. I felt that story was an example of how we spend our lives building protection over our purpose, thinking that it's what we need in order to survive. Every negative comment, fear, thought, “failure”, wrong step, missed step, every time we are told we are “too much.” We add layers of “plaster” and clay over our hearts. To the point that we may even forget what is inside of us…who God created us to be. Just like the people in the story- centuries later when they were trying to bring out the terracotta statue’s true beauty and restore it they discovered the true beauty lies deep within and was there all along. 
 
What gold is deep inside the years and layers of clay in your life? Listen in!
