When everything feels urgent, it’s easy to lead from reactivity—chasing the loudest problem, answering every ping, and ending the day exhausted… with little that actually moved the needle.

In this episode of Unleash Your Amazing Leadership, I’m joined by Mridu Parikh, founder of Life Is Organized, to talk about how leaders can reclaim focus and momentum in high-pressure environments—without burning out.

We dig into why productivity isn’t just about the to-do list, but the emotional clutter behind it—and how a simple shift in perspective can guide you to the right priorities when the pressure is on.

In this conversation, you’ll learn:

• Why other people’s urgency so often becomes your urgency—and the hidden cost of that

• The question Mridu uses to cut through overwhelm: “What would make me feel good when my head hits the pillow tonight?”

• A practical tool for handling urgent demands without dropping everything: “I hear you + here’s my action plan”

• How to use a Power Hour (even just 30 minutes) to reduce reactivity and rebuild momentum

• Why structure creates freedom—and how to build flexible systems that still honor your natural rhythm

• How to tell the difference between productive urgency vs. reactive urgency

What does real wealth actually mean—and what happens when success comes at the cost of your health, relationships, or peace?

In this episode of Unleash Your Amazing Leadership, Tammy Ebright sits down with Pia Washington, also known as The Property PhD, for a powerful and deeply human conversation about redefining success and leading from a place of wholeness.

With over 30 years of experience in finance, investing, and executive leadership, Pia shares how a personal health scare became a turning point—forcing her to re-evaluate what it truly means to live a “Level 10” life. Together, Tammy and Pia explore why leadership isn’t about perfection, external validation, or being the smartest person in the room, but about integration, self-awareness, and having the courage to pause.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why health is the foundation of sustainable leadership

• How tying your identity to money, titles, or social metrics can quietly undermine your wellbeing

• The power of saying “I’m not the expert” and leading through collaboration

• Why progress matters more than perfection—and why life is an experiment

• How to redefine wealth to include peace, relationships, and purpose

If you’re a leader, entrepreneur, or high achiever who’s ready to stop chasing metrics and start building a life that actually feels good, this episode is for you.

In this episode of Unleash Your Amazing Leadership, host Tammy Ebright sits down with Tara Truitt, Regional Vice President at Achosa Home Warranty, for an honest and grounded conversation about modern leadership.

With a background in sales, marketing, and new business development, Tara shares what it really takes to lead high-performing teams—especially in a remote environment—while staying human, present, and aligned. As a single mom and passionate animal lover, she brings a refreshing perspective on decision-making, boundaries, work ethic, and why leadership is less about filling roles and more about finding the right fit.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why not every decision needs to be made immediately

• How giving people space leads to stronger ownership and trust

• The importance of fit—for both people and organizations

• Leading with empathy without sacrificing results

• Why time is our most valuable asset as leaders

This episode is for leaders who want to grow, make better decisions, and build cultures where people truly thrive.

This week marks thirteen years since my husband David passed away — and in this closing episode of Season One, I’m sharing the most honest part of my leadership journey: learning how to trust myself again.

In the rawness of grief, my intuition went quiet. I let people into my life that my instincts were warning me about. I overrode my truth, tried to stay “strong,” and abandoned myself in ways I didn’t understand at the time.

This episode isn’t about trauma — it’s about awakening.

Join me as I reflect on:

✨ Why intuition speaks softly (and fear speaks loudly)
✨ How trauma scrambles clarity — and why that’s normal
✨ The signs you’re abandoning yourself without realizing it
✨ The first instinct and why it’s often the truest one
✨ How to rebuild self-trust one small decision at a time
✨ Leadership lessons I learned through loss, misalignment, and healing
✨ What it really looks like to come home to yourself after chaos

Whether you’ve experienced loss, burnout, misaligned relationships, or seasons where your inner voice felt far away, this conversation will meet you right where you are.

This is your reminder that your instincts are not random — they are intelligence. And trusting yourself is the foundation of powerful, aligned leadership.

Thank you for being with me through Season One.
Season Two of Unleash Your Amazing Leadership returns in January.
