You can’t build an authentic life while living for someone else’s approval.

In this episode, Tami records lakeside (while sitting on a fallen log) to unpack how to unlearn conformity, heal what’s blocking your self-expression, and reconnect with your inner child — so you can build your dreams from a place of wholeness, not wounds.

A powerful reminder that authenticity isn’t rebellion — it’s alignment.

Sometimes the universe doesn’t whisper — it drops a safety pole on your head!

That wake-up call pushed Brie Pawlak to realize that a “safe” engineering job wasn’t truly safe if it meant abandoning their soul’s purpose.
