In this episode, Tami dives deep into clarity, purpose, and connection, and why so many of us unconsciously dim our own light. She explores how fear of judgment and self-sabotage often mask an even deeper fear: the fear of our own power.

Tami shares personal stories, reflections on the recent eclipse, and the pivotal moment she overcame her fear of being fully seen. This is your permission slip to stop playing small and start showing up as the brightest, fullest version of YOU.

Back-to-school is about more than schedules and supplies. It’s a chance to heal. In this episode, I share the first-day-of-middle-school adventures with my daughter, how burnout crept up on me, and why parents need to “check themselves before they project themselves.” Together, we’ll talk about supporting kids emotionally, recognizing when our old wounds are triggered, and why parenting isn’t about perfection, it’s about connection.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

• The real-life parenting moment that turned into an inner child healing lesson

• Why burnout sneaks up on parents and how to spot the signs

• What it means when kids aren’t opening up—and how to build trust

• How to check yourself before you project yourself (and why radical responsibility matters)

• The importance of creating safe spaces for communication at home

• How meeting emotional needs (to be seen, heard, accepted, valued, and loved) changes family dynamics

Whether you’re a parent navigating back-to-school chaos or someone healing your own inner child, this episode will give you practical tools, heartfelt stories, and reminders that healing happens in connection.

Feeling deeply isn’t easy—but it can be beautiful. Tami and Scott, from The Assist Podcast, dive into what it means to live as empaths, including Scott’s life-changing near-death experience. If you’ve ever been told you’re “too sensitive” or felt weighed down by the emotions of others, you’ll resonate with this episode. They discuss self-discovery, trauma, parenting, and building meaningful connections for those ready to feel, heal, and grow.

Whether you’re navigating your own empath journey, supporting your kids through relationships, or simply seeking to understand yourself more deeply, this episode will remind you that healing happens in connection—and that we’re not meant to do life alone.
