In this episode, Tami and Andrea share the long-awaited news they've been hinting at for months: they're officially re-opening F45 Madison West—and the story behind it is nothing short of divinely orchestrated.

Together, they explore how movement became medicine, how grief became growth, and how working out together and a coffee date turned into a soul-aligned business partnership.

From battling toxic relationships with exercise to reclaiming movement as a form of therapy, this conversation highlights the transformative power of healing—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. You’ll hear stories of rock-bottom moments, divine timing, intuitive yeses, and full-circle moments that remind us: nothing is random, and the body always keeps the score.

Tami and Andrea also share what makes their gym different—why it’s not just a space to get fit, but a sacred, welcoming community designed to support your whole self, inner child included.

This episode is filled with heart, healing, humor, and full-circle magic. Whether you’re in Madison or miles away, we hope it inspires you to trust your path, move your body with love, and believe in what’s possible.

In this raw, relatable, and laugh-out-loud episode, Tami sits down with Brittany Wenninger—real estate pro, Airbnb queen, and fellow mompreneur—for a heart-to-heart on what it really looks like to juggle motherhood, marriage, and entrepreneurship.

From gym-floor friendship beginnings to building a thriving Airbnb business while raising kids, they dive into all the things women don’t say out loud—but absolutely should. No maternity leave, financial insecurities, relationship struggles, body image challenges, and the heavy (often silent) weight of mom guilt—it’s all on the table.

You’ll hear real stories of intuition-led business moves, the power of manifestation, emotional growth, and the messy beauty of supporting other women—even when it triggers your own fears. Whether you're a mom, a business owner, or navigating your next chapter, this episode is your permission slip to be both wildly ambitious and fully human.

You’ll walk away with:

• 💡 Why women need real support, not “it’s normal”
• 💡 How to work with your partner in life and business
• 💡 What to do when money shame creeps in (not enough to show off)
• 💡 A reminder that your body is not broken—it’s powerful
• 💡 Tips for trusting your gut and building a life you love

This episode of "Words F*cking Matter," is a masterclass in conscious language, radical responsibility, and what it really means to heal and grow one word at a time.

In this bold and unscripted episode, Army Veteran and author Andy Weins drops truth bombs that will challenge everything you think you know about language, healing, and accountability. Andy doesn’t tiptoe around transformation—mid‑show, he flips the script and calls ME out for using his so‑called “sh*t words,” exposing how my language was quietly sabotaging my own growth.

He believes (and proves) that words f*cking matter—words like “if," "but,” “should,” “easy,” “can’t." These might sound harmless, but they carry weight. They limit our choices, muddy our intentions, and keep us stuck in cycles of blame, avoidance, and ego.

If you’ve ever said “I just don’t know how” or “It’s too hard”—this episode is your mirror and your medicine. Bring your notebook, bring your humility, and bring your willingness to grow so you can rewrite your story—one word at a time.
