"Your life does not have to be defined by the things you go through, but really what defines you is what you grow through."~ Tami

Resiliency is not developed during calm times. Resiliency occurs when you are in the midst of the storm and have no other option but to get through it. It is only when you reflect, you see how much you have grown.

Tami Imlay has definitely grown through many things. The toughest one for her and her family was 28 March 2012. Dee Imlay, her childhood sweetheart, husband, and father of their two children, and fighter pilot, was killed during deployment. Tami tapped into the skills she acquired as a former military officer to navigate herself and her children through the murky waters of grief.


Jay and Donna sit down with Tami and talk about her journey from tragedy to triumph. She talks about how she took her grief and hardship and channeled it into her current coaching and podcasting business and offers hope for others going through similar circumstances.
