"Your strengths aren't just personality traits - they're your God-given tools for creating impact and experiencing fulfillment.” ~Tami

Do you love those little quizzes that tell you about you? Like the ones on Facebook that tell you what animal you are or the song that is your “life’s” song? I love those. I know they are senseless and meaningless..and there is NOTHING about you that goes into the results. How often do we treat personality assessments the same way…we spend time taking them. We get excited about the results, and then we tuck them away.

Friend! It’s time we stop doing that! Personality assessments (the real ones not the FB ones) are packed full of gold, and if we don’t learn how to apply it to our lives…we are missing out on growth and fulfillment. In today’s episode, I talk about common problems with some of the tests we take (well, not the tests themselves; I do mention some of those), and what happens when we take them and do not use them. I dive into a simple way we can take action TODAY! Let’s do this!

Key Takeaways:

• Personality Assessments: Tami has a keen interest in personality assessments like Myers-Briggs, Enneagram, and CliftonStrengths, emphasizing their potential for personal growth if insights are actively applied.
• Misuse of Enneagram: The Enneagram is often misused by focusing on negative traits. The podcast encourages reframing these traits as strengths or superpowers.
• Actionable Insights: Simply taking personality assessments is inadequate without further exploration and action. The podcast inspires listeners to align their actions with their true selves.
• Align and Shine Program: A new program, "Align and Shine," focuses on self-awareness and personal growth, helping participants understand and utilize their strengths in service to others.
• Evolving Identity: Personality assessments are starting points for growth, not fixed definitions. Core motivations and strengths can evolve over time.
• Intentional Decision-Making: Understanding one's strengths can lead to more intentional decision-making and personal development.

Journal Question:

• Take some time to consider your last personality assessment results. How do you see the evaluation or results show up in your recent decisions? What made you make that decision? Is it the decision you would make again if you had the chance to do it over? Why?

Do you have a business or want to start a business (side gig or “thing”)?

What if it could be easy? I’ve heard people say this before and never could see how. If it were easy I’d know…and I’d be able to choose it. However, growing up we were taught to work hard, earn what you got, and strive to be the best…which are not inherently wrong…BUT they do not take into consideration the way God wired you.

When I say it could be easy- I truly mean it can. We can serve with ease, build with ease, work with ease…if we know what are strengths are. Why not decide that 2025 will be the year that “EASE” comes your way. That you will ease into your strengths, ease into your purpose and ease into your calling? Let’s do this!

"What if I told you that favor isn't just luck or blessing – it's an active force waiting to be understood and embraced?" -Tami Imlay

I’m excited to share my “word of the year” with you! I’m not sure if you picked a word for the year or not. I want to encourage you to try it if you haven’t already done so. It’s worth it. What do you want to focus on in 2025? It doesn’t have to be hard. You can do something overarching like “peace” or “confidence”. Just make sure it is something that you want for the year. If that were the only experience you had for the year, you would count it as an amazing year.

If you don’t have one or don’t know where to start- feel free to share mine.

3. Join the call and allow your heart to be heard and seen.

Key Takeaways:

• Word of the Year: Tami emphasizes the importance of choosing a word that encapsulates one's intentions and focus for the year, using "favor" as her guiding word for 2025.
• Understanding Favor: Favor is presented as an active force, not just luck or passive blessings. It involves recognizing divinely orchestrated opportunities and requires human participation.
• Metaphor of a Garden: Favor is likened to a well-tended garden, where faith and character are the soil, individual gifts are the seeds, and God is the gardener nurturing growth.
• Seasons of Life: Each season—winter, spring, summer, and fall—carries distinct blessings and opportunities for growth, akin to the natural cycles in nature.
• Steps to Embrace Favor: Tami outlines three steps: recognition of small blessings, readiness to prepare for increased favor, and response to the responsibilities that come with it.
• Gratitude and Growth: Cultivating a grateful heart is essential, as favor often starts small before growing into something more significant.
• Invitation to Reflect: Listeners are encouraged to choose their own word for the year and reflect on their goals for 2025, with an invitation to join an eight-week intensive program to discover their calling.
• Approach the new year with intention, openness, and readiness to embrace the blessings in their lives.

Journal Question:

What word will you choose to guide your intentions and focus for 2025, and how do you envision it shaping your personal growth and development throughout the year?

Do you have a business or want to start a business (side gig or “thing”)?
