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.

What if your workouts and nutrition aren’t failing because of discipline but because of your inner child? In this episode, we dive into the deep connection between exercise, nutrition, trauma healing, and reparenting your inner child. You’ll learn why your inner child rebels when health feels like punishment, how your ego sabotages your fitness goals, and why showing up without “tools” (fuel, rest, or support) leaves your body unable to build the strong, healthy life you want.

We’ll explore:

• Why movement is medicine for stored energy, emotions & trauma
• How neglecting nutrition after a workout is like showing up to a job site without tools

• The worthiness wound — and why healing it changes everything about fitness, food & self-care
• Strength training as a metaphor for life, growth, and proving your inner child right: you are capable

If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Why do I keep sabotaging myself?” or “Why do I fall off track when things are going well?” this conversation will help you break free from old patterns and see fitness, health, and self-love in a whole new way.

What happens when a relationship shows you the deepest parts of yourself you were previously afraid to face? In this episode of Tami Talks: Unscripted Healing, I share how the last 5 months in a deeply transformative relationship helped me see where I was still abandoning myself, where my voice needed to grow louder, and how love can hold space for mutual healing.

From the start, we both knew we didn’t know how long God would keep us in each other’s lives. This experience reminded me that some people are sent only for a season — long enough to deliver the lessons we’re ready for.

You’ll hear about:

• How relationships can help heal the father wound

• The role of vulnerability and compassion in growth

• Why trusting God’s bigger plan brings peace during endings

• Lessons in honoring your journey and the other person’s journey

If you’ve ever felt a deep connection that cracked you open in unexpected ways, this conversation is for you.
