    Send us a text

    In this episode of The Executive Exhale podcast, I’m diving into five key signs that might mean it’s time to rethink your career path. I know this struggle firsthand—I had a six-figure executive role, but deep down, I felt completely misaligned. On paper, everything looked great, but inside, I knew something was off.

    I’ll walk you through the five biggest red flags: feeling disconnected from your mission or that of who you work with, noticing how stress is impacting your health and wellness, feeling stagnant, staying in your role just for the pay check, and watching your personal life suffer. If any of these hit home, it’s worth taking a step back and asking yourself some big questions.

    This isn’t about making drastic moves overnight—it’s about tuning in, getting honest with yourself, and exploring what’s next. And if you need support, I’m here to help. Let’s talk about what real alignment and fulfillment look like for you.

    This podcast episode features Dr. Bahareh Amidi, affectionately called the "Spiritual Poetess of Light," in a profound conversation with host Tammy about the transformative power of words and voice. Dr. Amidi, a poetry therapist with a PhD in educational psychology, unveils her Healing Through Words framework, which invites individuals to connect deeply with their inner selves through the written and spoken word. She shares how a blank page becomes a powerful portal for heart and soul expression, enabling people to find clarity, healing, and transformation.

    Dr. Amidi draws from her experiences working with diverse groups—cancer patients, medical professionals, corporate executives, and survivors of trauma—highlighting how writing and voicing one's thoughts can unlock emotional resilience and foster authentic connections. Together, Tammy and Dr. Amidi explore the interplay between breath and voice, announcing their upcoming joint session in January, which merges Tammy's breathwork techniques with Dr. Amidi's writing practices for a holistic transformational experience.

    This episode emphasizes the profound role of heart-centered leadership, the art of storytelling, and the enduring impact of words and voice in promoting personal growth, emotional well-being, and community connection.
