What more do you want from life? What more do you want for yourself? Award-winning journalist and author Poorna Bell reckons it's time to start really asking ourselves these questions.In this chat with Fearne, Poorna explains why it's important to aim for goals you set for yourself, not the ones set by society. They talk about why challenging the narrative that women become invisible as they age is so important, and why we should be turning to elders for life wisdom.Poorna also reflects on what she wishes she'd known about marriage before her wedding, and how we can all strengthen our relationships with our parents and children.Poorna's book, She Wanted More, is out now.If you liked this episode of Happy Place, you might also like:Poorna's first Happy Place episodeAshley JamesPaloma Faith Hosted on Acast.

You made the right call. So why are you still rehearsing it three days later? If you're replaying sound decisions, pressure-testing them after the meeting ends, or quietly reopening threads you already closed, this episode is for you. This isn't hesitation before the decision. It's something deeper — and it's costing you more energy than you realize. What You'll Hear Why decisiveness isn't your real issue The difference between deciding and releasing How outdated protection creates decision drag Why your operating system may still be running on “prove yourself” mode Leadership Pattern to Notice When a decision doesn't settle, it keeps running in the background. You're not panicking. You're not spiraling. You're carrying it. That's not lack of skill. It's an operating system still scanning for threats in a season where you no longer need to prove yourself. Leadership Noticing This week, notice: Where you replay decisions after they're made Where you gather reassurance you don't actually need Where you reopen something that was already settled No fixing. Just noticing whether the decision truly landed. Concepts Introduced Decision drag, leadership operating systems, outdated protection patterns, internal reputation management, and the difference between decisiveness and release are explored throughout this episode. What's Coming Next This conversation continues as we go deeper into decision drag — how to diagnose it, what your operating system may be protecting, and how leaders recalibrate without losing strength or authority. Something I Don't Want You to Miss The problem isn't how you decide. It's why something inside you won't let the decision stay decided. That tension isn't weakness. It's outdated protection. When your operating system upgrades, decisions hold — and leadership feels lighter not because the stakes are lower, but because the internal debate is quieter. If this is resonating, that's the work we begin inside an Aligned Leadership Audit tamimariecoaching.com/call . Enjoyed the Episode?

Why do we change our hair when we want to start over? Celebrity hair stylist Chris Appleton knows that when someone sits in his chair, he has their future confidence in his hands.In this chat with Fearne, Chris explains that everyone from the Kardashians to cancer patients have opened up to him about their insecurities, and he's seen the profound impact that looking more like yourself on the outside can have on how you feel about yourself on the inside.He's also fascinated by the self-limiting beliefs people have about who they are. Think you're not classy enough for a sleek bob? Not cool enough to dye your hair? Chris says think again!Chris has dealt with a lot of his own shame and fears too.

If decisions feel heavier than they should — not hard, just heavier — this episode is for you. You're not burned out. You're not broken. And you're not lacking skill. In this conversation, Tami names a pattern she sees in senior leaders: decision drag. The internal friction that shows up when you've outgrown the version of leadership that got you here. What You'll Hear The difference between burnout and decision drag Why high performers often mislabel friction as exhaustion How outdated leadership identity creates internal debate What shifts when decisions are allowed to fully land Leadership Pattern to Notice When decisions cost more energy than they used to, it's not always workload. Sometimes it's misalignment inside your leadership operating system. You're still capable. You're still performing. But the internal debate is louder than it should be. Leadership Noticing This week, notice: Where you revisit decisions that were already made Where you rehearse conversations after the fact Where you gather one more opinion even though you already know No fixing. Just noticing. Concepts Introduced Burnout versus decision drag, leadership identity evolution, internal misalignment, leadership operating systems, and the energetic cost of unsettled decisions are explored throughout this episode. What's Coming Next This month, we're going deeper into decision drag — what causes it, how to diagnose it, and what actually recalibrates it at the system level. Something I Don't Want You to Miss The heaviness you're feeling isn't weakness. It's evolution. The version of you that got you here may not be the version required for what's next. And that's not a crisis — it's a calling. When leadership feels lighter, it's not because the stakes are lower. It's because the internal debate is quieter. If you're ready to look at this at the system level, that's the work we do inside a Leadership Strategy Call.

Stress has become a way of life—but what if everything you've been told about it is incomplete?

You're a bimbo. A nag. Too mumsy. Too bossy. Ever had any of those labels put on you? Far from harmless words, Ashley James is clear they all work to shrink women and girls.In this chat with Fearne, Ashley recalls her first experiences of street harassment, and the way she victim blamed herself.They also explore the shame that keeps women silent about their altered bodies after giving birth; Ashley talks about her own post-partum body, including the reality of piles, prolapse, and vaginismus.Wondering if marriage is right for you? Ashley runs through her pros and cons. Plus, are we still allowed to watch and enjoy wildly problematic films like Grease...?Ashley's book, Bimbo, is out on February 12th.If you liked this episode of Happy Place, you might also like: Gabor Maté Louise Thompson Jane Goodall Hosted on Acast.

If you keep re-explaining decisions you thought were already made, this episode is for you. In this conversation, Tami names a leadership pattern she sees repeatedly on high-performing teams: decisions that never fully land. She reframes clarity at the leadership level and why consensus, when overused, quietly slows teams down. What You'll Hear Why clarity is not the same as understanding or agreement How consensus can unintentionally create decision drag The role ownership plays in momentum and execution What changes when decisions are truly settled Leadership Pattern to Notice When decisions keep resurfacing, it's not resistance. It's unclear ownership. Teams don't circle conversations. They circle decisions that were never fully owned. Leadership Noticing This week, notice: Which decisions feel settled and which quietly return Where you feel the urge to re-explain something already decided Where your energy drops because a decision never truly landed No fixing. Just noticing. Concepts Introduced Clarity versus agreement, consensus versus ownership, decision drag, clarity leaks, and executive decision-making systems are explored throughout this episode. What's Coming Next Next episode, we'll continue this conversation by exploring how leaders unintentionally create decision dependency and how to reset it at the system level. Something I Don't Want You to Miss Not every decision needs consensus. Some just need clarity on who owns it. When leaders stop managing agreement and start establishing ownership, momentum returns and the weight they've been carrying begins to lift. Enjoyed the Episode?

emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Fearne Cotton, originally episode 295 from 2019-10-30.Original writeup below:This is the mirror side of a two podcast deal the two of them struck up, where Pip appeared on her ‘Happy Place' podcast, so as you'll witness, the driver is often interchangeable, but it's all perfect as they get on just grand. Maybe it's because they were born a month apart and have the same cultural touchstones - WHO KNOWS! Whatever the case, it's a breeze of a podcast which touches on so much including a sentence which features Hanson and Led Zeppelin in the same breath (in fact I think it could be called an “Mmm Bop-cast” but that's of no consequence), her intro into different kinds of music, being mates with Sarah Cawood and how she eventually got into gig going through her, Coldplay haters, the power of music shared on a mass scale, cathartic crying sessions, early days of her presenting on TV and growing up in front of the camera, presenting the Disney Club, still being treated as a kid in adult life, the old fashioned kid poop story which serves as a grounding device, how being a cool parent isn't possible, her book ‘Happy', losing her sense of self in her 20's and regaining it later, social media, podcast therapy, changing one's self in the midst of crisis and her work with CoppaFeel. But of course, SO much more. Lovely stuff from start to end.

You might have recently seen Hamnet at the cinema, but did you read the book along with the Happy Place Book Club in January?In this chat, Fearne and author Maggie O'Farrell talk about how Jessie Buckley's award-winning performance brought Agnes to life in the film, why it's vital to remember women's place in history, and why Maggie chose not to name Shakespeare in the book.Maggie uses her intuition when she's writing, and talks about why she doesn't really plan what voice or tense to style she's going to write in.Plus, Maggie reveals some of the Elizabethan pursuits she took up during her research phase, including flying Kestrels and making herbal cold remedies... And Fearne reads out what she reckons is "the sexiest paragraph ever written"!Thank you to Tinder Press for use of the Hamnet audiobook, narrated by Jessie Buckley.If you liked this episode of Happy Place, you might also like:Book Club Meets: Nussaibah YounisBook Club Meets: Elizabeth DayBook Club Meets: Elizabeth Gilbert Hosted on Acast.

¿Y si te dijéramos que, mientras escuchas este episodio, tu ratón podría estar escuchándote a ti? Un experimento con un ratón gaming de 30 euros, la historia secreta de Léon Theremin espiando embajadas en plena Guerra Fría y las técnicas actuales que usan bombillas y WiFi para ver a través de paredes se cruzan con apps que predicen fallos cardíacos 18 días antes y sistemas que monitorizan pacientes sin tocarlos. En este episodio seguimos el hilo de una misma tecnología que nació para vigilarlo todo y hoy puede salvar miles de vidas, y te dejamos con una pregunta incómoda: ¿quién decide en qué lado de la historia se queda tu escritorio conectado? Para seguir conectando puntos: Mic-E-Mouse: tu ratón como micrófono inadvertido Investigadores han demostrado que un ratón óptico de consumo puede aprovechar las vibraciones diminutas de la superficie de la mesa para reconstruir parte del audio de una conversación, siempre que el equipo esté comprometido con malware. Este trabajo ilustra cómo cualquier periférico suficientemente sensible se convierte en un potencial transductor de información, y nos obliga a revisar la falsa sensación de seguridad que nos dan gestos como tapar la webcam mientras ignoramos todo lo demás que hay sobre el escritorio. https://www.elladodelmal.com/2025/10/ataque-mic-e-mouse-como-pueden-escuchar.html Lamphone: escuchar conversaciones a través de una bombilla El equipo de la Universidad Ben-Gurion volvió a descubrir, casi un siglo después, la intuición de Theremin: el sonido deja su huella en los objetos. Apuntando un telescopio con un sensor electroóptico a una bombilla a 25 metros de distancia, consiguieron reconstruir música y discursos a partir de microvariaciones en la luz, con un montaje por debajo de los 1.000 euros. Es un ejemplo perfecto de cómo la vigilancia acústica de élite se está democratizando y pasando del terreno de las agencias de inteligencia al del investigador curioso… o del actor malicioso. https://www.adslzone.net/noticias/seguridad/lamphone-espiar-conversaciones-bombillas/[adslzone]​ WiFi que ve a través de paredes Varios grupos de investigación han logrado utilizar señales WiFi comerciales para detectar presencia, postura e incluso el movimiento de personas a través de paredes, con precisiones cercanas al 99% en la detección y una granularidad que permite reconstruir esqueletos en 3D. Esta línea de trabajo abre la puerta a sistemas de vigilancia invisibles, pero también a aplicaciones sanitarias como la monitorización de caídas en personas mayores o el seguimiento de la respiración sin necesidad de cables ni sensores adheridos al cuerpo. https://www.adslzone.net/noticias/seguridad/lamphone-espiar-conversaciones-bombillas HearO y la voz como biomarcador cardíaco La startup israelí Cordio Medical ha desarrollado una aplicación capaz de analizar la voz de pacientes con insuficiencia cardíaca y anticipar descompensaciones hasta 18 días antes de que aparezcan los síntomas, con una precisión cercana al 80%. Programas piloto en hospitales como el de Bellvitge exploran cómo integrar este tipo de biomarcadores acústicos en la práctica clínica habitual, cambiando visitas de urgencia por ajustes preventivos de medicación en casa.phmk+2[ppl-ai-file-upload.s3.amazonaws]​ https://www.phmk.es/tecnologia/hearo-una-aplicacion-que-monitoriza-la-insuficiencia-cardiaca-mediante-la-voz Monitorización sin contacto en tiempos de COVID-19 Durante la pandemia, varios equipos aprovecharon sensores, wearables y redes inalámbricas para vigilar constantes vitales de pacientes en aislamiento, reduciendo la exposición del personal sanitario y el consumo de equipos de protección. Estas experiencias muestran cómo las mismas técnicas que permiten ver a través de paredes pueden convertirse en sistemas de soporte vital discretos, capaces de detectar deterioros respiratorios sin cruzar el umbral de la habitación. http://www.scielo.org.mx/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0028-37462021000200132[ Theremin, el músico que inventó la vigilancia invisible Más allá del instrumento que lleva su nombre, la biografía de Léon Theremin encarna la cara oscura de la innovación tecnológica en tiempos de totalitarismo. Sus micrófonos pasivos, como el famoso dispositivo oculto en el Gran Sello de Estados Unidos, anticiparon buena parte de las técnicas modernas de espionaje acústico, y su vida nos recuerda que quienes abren caminos científicos no siempre controlan el uso que otros harán de ellos. https://www.bbc.com/mundo/vert-cul-55520447 Mark Klein y la sala 641A: la infraestructura ya estaba aquí El testimonio de Mark Klein sobre la sala 641A de AT&T en San Francisco mostró que la captura masiva de comunicaciones no era una distopía, sino una realidad física instalada en edificios muy concretos. Su historia, confirmada y ampliada después por Snowden, sirve de contrapunto histórico a los sistemas actuales de monitorización: la pregunta no es si podemos recogerlo todo, sino quién tiene la llave de esas tuberías y con qué límites legales y éticos. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/03/memoriam-mark-klein-att-whistleblower-about-nsa-mass-spying Conecta, conectante Para contactar con nosotros, podéis utilizar nuestra cuenta de twitter (@conectantes), Instagram (conectandopuntos) o el formulario de contacto de nuestra web conectandopuntos.es.[conectandopuntos]​ Nos podéis escuchar en iVoox, en iTunes o en Spotify (busca por nuestro nombre, es fácil).[conectandopuntos]​ Damos crédito, porque nos parece importante Intro: Stefan Kanterberg ‘By by baby‘ (licencia CC Atribución).

Vermont has been one of our favourite places on earth for over a decade now, so it was phenomenal to finally have a VT brewery back on the pod! Jonathan Mogor of Soulmate joined Cee to chat about the origin of the brewery and their lengthy construction, how the name came about, their unique crowdfunding approach to their business (you can become a co-owner via the link below), how they got over 500 5-star Google Reviews, the wide range of beers, why they use their tongue-in-cheek beer names, his love for Quebec and Quebec craft beer, why their community is everything and how they've managed to stand out in such a phenomenal beer state, his thoughts on Untappd, and his future plans for Soulmate.

Do you find it hard to look in the mirror? Have you found yourself controlling what you eat or exercise you do? Actor Sam Claflin has struggled with his body image since he was a child.In this chat with Fearne, Sam explains what having body dysmorphia means to him, and reflects on how it continues to affect everything from the food he eats to his willingness to watch his own films back.Fearne and Sam are both chronic people pleasers, and share how they're working to stop putting everyone else's comfort before their own. Sam also thinks about how he was brought up to think about what masculinity is, and what he's doing to make sure his own son grows up with gentler male role models.Plus, who remembers the days of MSN and webcam chatrooms? They reminisce about the random people they ended up talking to online back in the day...You can watch Sam in Vanished on Amazon Prime from February 27th.If you liked this episode of Happy Place, you might also like: Riley Keogh Jame Laing Katherine May Hosted on Acast.

Okay, friend, this one came out of nowhere. I just got back from a cruise—senior trip with seven high schoolers—and somewhere between Mexico and deep conversations about critical thinking, something clicked. I spent days journaling about it, testing it, turning it over in my mind. And I knew I had to share it before I overthought it into oblivion. Here's the short version: What if communication isn't actually a skill? What if it's just the visible output of a decision system running underneath…and THAT'S what's broken? This reframe has shifted how I see every team I work with. Every leader who tells me "we need better communication." Every meeting that circles. Every decision that doesn't hold. I'm still testing it. I'm still going deeper. But I wanted to bring you into the conversation now…because I think it's going to change how you see your team, too. Let me know what you think. Seriously. DM me on LinkedIn. I want to hear if this lands the way it landed for me. What You'll Hear in This Episode Why "we need better communication" is the wrong diagnosis The relationship between micro-decisions and every conversation your team has What's actually happening when decisions don't hold and conversations circle The difference between protection mode and ownership mode Why upgrading the decision system naturally upgrades communication Three shifts that move teams from autopilot to intentional The Leadership Pattern to Notice Teams aren't struggling because they don't know HOW to talk. They're making hundreds of micro-decisions in every conversation—how to interpret, how to respond, who owns it, who defers—and those decisions are running on autopilot, driven by whatever the internal system is protecting: approval, control, safety, being right. What leaders see: "We have a communication problem." What's actually happening: A team making fear-based micro-decisions in every conversation. Leadership Noticing "Communication is just decision-making made visible. Change the decision-making, you change the communication." Notice this week: When conversations circle or decisions don't hold, ask yourself—is this a communication issue, or is the team's internal system protecting something that's keeping them from owning the outcome? Concepts Introduced Communication as visible output of the decision system Micro-decisions running on autopilot Protection mode vs. ownership mode The three shifts: unconscious → intentional, protection → ownership, individual dysfunction → team alignment What's Coming Next Tami goes deeper on a related breakthrough: what clarity actually is—and why most teams think they have it when they don't. A new level of understanding that changes how leaders diagnose what's really happening beneath the surface. Final Thought:  The next time someone says your team needs better communication, ask yourself: Do they not know how to talk? Or is something underneath driving dysfunction that no script or framework will fix? If your team keeps having the same conversations, the same meetings, the same conflicts—and communication training hasn't fixed it—let's talk. Tami offers sample sessions of the Aligned Leader Series to get underneath the surface and diagnose what's actually driving the patterns. → DM Tami on LinkedIn (yes, it's really her—not a bot, not a team member) → Book a Aligned Leadership Audit (tamimariecoaching.com/call) l to explore what an upgraded decision system looks like for you and your team Enjoyed the Episode?

Every January, leaders build goals that look logical, defensible, and impressive on paper—yet feel hollow in practice. In this episode, Tami unpacks why that disconnect happens and what it costs leaders over time. Drawing from her work with senior executives, she explains how goals formed without clarity around identity and direction turn leadership into performance, leaving leaders stuck executing plans they no longer believe in. This is not a conversation about better strategies. It's a conversation about alignment. What You'll Hear in This Episode Why well-built strategic plans can still feel empty The difference between leadership and performance What happens when goals are disconnected from identity The three common (and costly) ways leaders try to fix forced goals Why clarity, not discipline or strategy, determines momentum The Leadership Pattern to Notice Leaders don't lose motivation because they're lazy or disengaged. They lose momentum when they're executing goals that were never aligned with who they are in the first place. When strategy is disconnected from identity: Goals feel forced Conviction disappears Leadership turns into performance And the question that keeps showing up late at night becomes: “Is this really what I want to be doing?” Leadership Noticing This week, don't revise your goals yet. Just notice: Which goals feel like obligations instead of direction Where you're pushing yourself to care instead of feeling conviction Where execution feels heavy because clarity is missing You're not fixing anything yet. You're noticing what your current goals are revealing. That awareness matters more than another planning session. What's Coming Next Tami continues to explore what aligned leadership looks like when clarity, conviction, and identity come before strategy. More to come. Final Thought You don't need another strategy session. You need clarity about who you are and why you're leading where you are. If your goals feel disconnected and you want support clarifying what's actually driving that tension, you can book a Leadership Strategy Call at:

I wasn't prepared for what I was about to experience. I mean, I was 42 years old, less than a month away from turning 42, and I was about to do something many people have done by the time they were a teenager. I had done very little research to prepare me for the day, but as I look back on it, I'm not really sure how much research would have helped.

¿Qué ocurre cuando las profecías tecnológicas más audaces chocan frontalmente con la tozuda realidad de los hospitales y los mercados? En 2016, Geoffrey Hinton sentenció que debíamos dejar de formar radiólogos, asumiendo que el reconocimiento de patrones por IA los haría obsoletos en un suspiro. Sin embargo, casi una década después, el «canario» que debía alertarnos del colapso del empleo humano no solo sigue vivo, sino que canta con más fuerza que nunca. En este episodio exploramos cómo la paradoja de Jevons y la lógica de la Reina Roja nos mantienen corriendo a toda velocidad solo para permanecer en el mismo sitio. Y nos preguntamos si la verdadera victoria de la IA no será la ejecución de tareas, sino la oportunidad de recuperar la dirección y el sentido de nuestro propio florecimiento humano. Bienvenidos al 2-5-0. Para seguir conectando puntos: Why AI isn't replacing radiologists Este análisis profundiza en los motivos técnicos y estructurales que explican por qué la IA no ha logrado desplazar a los especialistas, destacando la enorme brecha que existe entre el rendimiento de un algoritmo en un entorno controlado y el caos del día a día hospitalario. Nos sirve para entender que la radiología es mucho más que identificar manchas en una imagen; es un proceso complejo de contexto, responsabilidad legal y juicio clínico que las «islas de automatización» actuales aún no pueden replicar. https://www.worksinprogress.news/p/why-ai-isnt-replacing-radiologists El empleo de los radiólogos ante la IA (Informe Vanguard) Este artículo contrasta la teoría del reemplazo con los datos reales del mercado laboral, donde el aumento de la eficiencia ha disparado paradójicamente la demanda de pruebas y, por extensión, de profesionales para supervisarlas. Es la constatación empírica de cómo el sistema coevoluciona para escalar la complejidad en lugar de reducir el esfuerzo, validando que el futuro del trabajo sanitario pasa por la integración y no por la sustitución pura. https://www.elconfidencial.com/tecnologia/2026-01-03/empleo-radiologos-inteligencia-artificial-informe-vanguard-salarios-4276082 Jevons Paradox: A Personal Perspective (Tina He en Fakepixels) Esta pieza nos invita a reflexionar sobre la cara B de la productividad personal y cómo la hiperoptimización suele derivar en una «cinta sin fin» donde acabamos más agotados que antes de automatizar nuestras tareas. Compartimos la visión de la autora sobre la necesidad de desplazar el foco desde la ejecución mecánica hacia la dirección estratégica, cuestionando si el éxito debe medirse por el volumen de lo que hacemos o por la profundidad y el bienestar que generamos. https://fakepixels.substack.com/p/jevons-paradox-a-personal-perspective A New Evolutionary Law (Leigh Van Valen) Recuperamos este concepto clásico de la biología evolutiva para explicar por qué, a pesar de los avances en IA, sentimos que el trabajo nunca disminuye. Al igual que las especies en un ecosistema, nos vemos obligados a correr cada vez más rápido solo para mantener nuestra posición relativa en un mercado hipereficaz. Es una lectura esencial para comprender la trampa de la productividad infinita y por qué la tecnología, por sí sola, no nos sacará de la carrera. https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1525395113 La jaula de hierro (Max Weber) Mencionamos la metáfora de Weber para advertir sobre el peligro de convertir los medios tecnológicos en fines en sí mismos. En este episodio, conectamos esta visión con la «jaula algorítmica» que nos rodea: un entorno donde la racionalización extrema y la supervisión digital pueden terminar asfixiando nuestra libertad y creatividad si no somos conscientes de sus barrotes invisibles. https://conectandopuntos.es/episodio-249-la-jaula-de-hierro-algoritmica/ Wellbeing Budget (The Treasury New Zealand) Frente al dictamen del crecimiento económico ciego, nos fijamos en modelos que priorizan el florecimiento humano y la salud integral. Exploramos cómo algunos gobiernos están empezando a medir el éxito no solo por lo que producimos, sino por el bienestar real de la población, ofreciéndonos una brújula distinta para navegar la era de la IA y redirigir sus frutos hacia lo que verdaderamente importa. https://www.treasury.govt.nz/publications/wellbeing-budget/wellbeing-budget-2021-securing-our-recovery Conecta, conectante Para contactar con nosotros, podéis utilizar nuestra cuenta de twitter (@conectantes), Instagram (conectandopuntos) o el formulario de contacto de nuestra web conectandopuntos.es.

Every January brings a flood of leadership trends, predictions, and skills to master—but most of them miss the point. In this episode, Tami shares what she knows after decades of leading teams and coaching executives: real leadership growth doesn't come from collecting information. It comes from identity clarity, intentional action, embodied presence, and the willingness to confront blind spots. Rather than offering more tactics, she outlines five non-negotiables leaders must embrace to grow with clarity, authority, and impact in 2026 and beyond. What You'll Hear in This Episode Why leaders who “do all the right things” can still feel stuck The difference between passive consumption and intentional growth Why mentorship sharpens leaders at every stage How embodied leadership creates trust and resilience Why identity clarity is strategic—not soft What actually separates leaders who evolve from those who stagnate The Leadership Pattern to Notice Leaders who plateau aren't lazy or unaware. They're often highly capable. But they rely on: information instead of interpretation momentum instead of intention strategy instead of presence Over time, growth slows—not because they lack effort, but because they skip the internal work that sustains leadership at higher levels. Leadership Noticing This week, don't add anything new. Just notice: Where you're consuming information without applying it Where you're leading from habit instead of conviction Where decisions feel heavier because you're unclear on your “why” Where blind spots might be costing you more than you realize You're not fixing anything yet. You're paying attention to patterns. That awareness is where real leadership evolution begins. The Five Non-Negotiables Leaders Need to Thrive in 2026 In this episode, Tami unpacks five internal shifts leaders can't skip if they want to grow with clarity and authority: Why mentorship sharpens leaders at every stage The difference between passive growth and intentional leadership What active learning actually looks like for experienced leaders Why presence and embodied leadership matter more than plans Why knowing who you are comes before deciding what to do Each one sounds simple. None of them are surface-level. What's Coming Next Tami is continuing to build resources and conversations for leaders who are ready to stop collecting information and start leading with clarity, conviction, and alignment. More to come. Final Thought Leadership growth isn't about adding more to your to-do list. It's about shedding what no longer fits and leading from who you are. If you're ready to gain clarity around your leadership identity, blind spots, and next chapter, you can book a Leadership Strategy Call at:

What would you do if you weren't afraid? That's the question spiritual teacher and intuitive guide Sonia Choquette wants you to think about.In this chat with Fearne, Sonia explains how to have more agency over your own mindset. It's time to stop thinking the worst, and start expecting the best!Sonia talks through how neuroscience is showing that our guts, skins, and organs are all conscious entities. Once we understand this, we understand why it's so vital not to surpress our body's intuition.Do you have repeated physical ailments? Sonia wonders that tending to your emotional troubles could dramatically impact your physical health. Plus, laughter can put you firmly back in your physical body, so is the secret to stopping overthinking to start taking the mick out of your anxious thoughts...?Sonia's book, Soul Mastery, is out now.Follow Sonia on Instagram.If you liked this episode of Happy Place, you might also like: Sonia's first Happy Place episodeEstelle BinghamNatalie Lue Hosted on Acast.

Leadership doesn't always feel heavy because you're doing something wrong. Sometimes it feels heavy because you've outgrown the way you've been leading. In this episode, Tami speaks candidly about a pattern she sees often in capable, high-performing leaders: when momentum replaces clarity, leadership begins to cost more energy than it should. She unpacks why “heavy” isn't the same as burnout, how friction quietly builds beneath success, and why pushing harder rarely fixes the problem. If leadership has felt heavier than it should lately, this episode will help you name what's actually happening. What You'll Hear in This Episode Why feeling “heavy” doesn't automatically mean burnout How momentum without clarity creates internal drag The subtle cost of carrying roles, decisions, or identities that no longer fit A simple question that can shift how you lead forward The Leadership Pattern to Notice You can still be moving forward… Still making progress… Still checking the boxes… And yet everything costs more energy than it should. That's not a motivation problem. It's a clarity problem. Leadership Noticing: This week, don't try to fix anything. Just notice where leadership feels heavier than it should. Notice what costs more energy than seems reasonable. Notice where momentum is carrying you without clarity. You're not looking for answers yet. You're paying attention to patterns. What you notice is often the first signal that something in your leadership system wants your attention.   A Question to Sit With If leadership didn't have to feel this heavy, what would need to change? You don't need to answer this today.

Alignment is one of the most overused words in leadership and one of the most misunderstood. Many leaders assume alignment means feeling peaceful, settled, or motivated. But when leadership starts to feel heavy, those definitions don't explain what's actually happening. In this episode, we talk about alignment beneath the surface. Not as an emotion or mindset, but as a system. A leadership operating system that either supports the weight you're carrying now or quietly creates friction that drains your energy, clarity, and confidence. If leadership feels heavier than it used to, this conversation will help you understand why. In this episode, we explore: Why alignment is structural, not emotional How leaders outgrow the systems that once worked for them What it means when effort is high but clarity feels low Why motivation can't fix a leadership system mismatch How misalignment creates drag, hesitation, and second-guessing This episode is for you if: Leadership feels heavier even though you're capable and trusted You replay conversations and decisions more than you used to You're working hard but still feel scattered or drained You sense you've outgrown the way you've been leading Listener Challenge Take a few quiet minutes this week and reflect on this question: Where am I still running an old leadership system that no longer fits who I am now? You're not looking for a solution yet. Just notice where friction shows up and what it costs you. Ready for Support? If leadership has started to feel heavier than it should, it may not be a motivation issue. It may be an alignment issue.

As one season closes and another begins, many leaders feel pressure to move faster, reset harder, and push forward. But resilient leaders don't prepare for what's next by speeding up. They prepare by getting steadier. In this episode, I bring together the core themes from the Resilient Leader series and walk through three things grounded leaders do before stepping into a new season. Not to hype themselves up, but to lead with clarity, intention, and resolve. This conversation applies whether you're closing out a year, finishing a major initiative, stepping into a new role, or simply sensing it's time to lead differently. In this episode, we explore: Why resilient leaders take inventory before they take action What it means to intentionally release what no longer belongs How identity, not goals, determines how you lead under pressure Why steadiness creates stronger teams than urgency ever will This episode is for you if: You feel pressure to “figure out what's next” but something feels off You're carrying roles, expectations, or urgency that no longer fit You want to lead with clarity instead of reacting under pressure You're entering a new season and want to do it with intention Listener Challenge Set aside 10 quiet minutes this week and reflect on these questions. Don't rush them. Let them tell you the truth. What am I still carrying that no longer belongs in the next season? How do I want to show up when the pressure rises again? What needs to be steadied before it can be strengthened? You don't need to fix anything yet. Just notice what comes up. Ready for Support? If you want help clarifying what you're carrying, what you're releasing, and how you want to lead this next season, book a Leadership Strategy Call at

Hey friend, this is a quieter episode. A real conversation, leader to leader.

Today, I wanted to pause and name that — and remind you what resilient leadership really looks like in seasons like this. “The quiet weight leaders carry isn't a flaw. It's responsibility.” ~Tami Imlay Want to Go Deeper? If you're ready to head into the new year with more clarity and less weight, you can book a Leadership Strategy Call to talk through what you're carrying and what needs to shift.
