Life and Work with Tami Gulland

Today we’d like to introduce you to Tami Gulland.

Tami, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
I was born very empathic and intuitive. Only, I didn’t realize this about myself until later in my life.

My first exposure to knowing that energy is the first language we speak and managing that energy was when I was growing up as the youngest of 14 children (my family, plus my Aunt and Uncle’s family).

With eleven boys and three girls in a stone house on a dairy and hog farm in Wisconsin, it was anything but calm and quiet. This was both a challenge and an incredible learning opportunity for an empathic intuitive.

It took me years and many experiences to not only discover why I never felt ‘normal,’ but how to embrace these things as a blessing. I learned how to hone these gifts and use them to help myself and to guide others to leverage and manage their energy and lead their lives in an authentic, joyful and soul-aligned way. This is living life at an elevated Energetic IQ®.

Tenacious and Tender.

Growing up as the youngest and smallest of a gaggle of children, I learned to be tough, spunky and fight back when needed to. I was also very tender-hearted. I’ve always been the type of person to tap into wisdom well beyond my years. Now I can see how this ability was my purpose awakening within me leading me to the path I am on today.

The Over-Achiever.

I learned to bury my tenderness in the safest way I knew: I became a high achiever. I followed the rules. I did things everyone else’s way, instead of listening to my intuition.

Even when my intuition spoke up, my drive took over. I could steamroll my way through anything.

Life has a way of handing you clues to help you recognize when things aren’t in alignment with you. While climbing the corporate ladder, upheaval in my life hit me hard: family challenges, my father’s illness and passing, and a personal health crisis. This was my wake-up call.

This time, I looked for my answers inside, instead of turning to everyone else. I connected with my Soul and the Spirit Realm for guidance. My life changed dramatically when I began to not only hear, but listen to and trust my intuition. This inner guidance led me to start my own coaching business.

The Path to Burnout.
Early in my business, I followed traditional coaching business models and ended up driving myself into the ground again. I was working my butt off to be successful in my business. I had a full client load. As I broke through my personal income glass ceiling, I hit adrenal burnout. I had fallen back into the pattern of trying to do things like everyone else. I wasn’t fulfilled, and I wasn’t honoring one of my most important values: family. My business had become constant mental stress and a significant drain on my health. I was losing passion for my mission of making a difference.

The Universe Always Responds, But Never How You Think.

I set an intention to let go of my attachment to doing things the way everyone else was and my need to control things to turn out a certain way. Soon after this, my husband came home one day from work with important news. He announced that he was going to be shutting down the manufacturing plant he had managed for 14 years.

This threw me into a tailspin. Externally I was mostly on board, but internally I fought these changes of moving and taking my family and business to a new, large metropolitan area.

Moving to Denver, where my husband had been recruited to a new job, meant that I let go of my hometown of 46 years where I lived near my close-knit immediate family (all 26 of them), my identity, our lake house and my business as I knew it.

When I Most Wanted to Feel the Safety Net of the Divine, I Felt Completely Lost.

I felt shocked and grief for a really long time after we moved to Denver. I missed my family, friends and the life that was familiar to me. My children and husband also went through difficult emotional challenges during our transition. This weighed heavily on my heart.

Despite still being able to receive Divine Guidance for my clients, I couldn‘t hear Divine Guidance for myself, as I had in the past.

Everything I knew had changed, including how I connected to the Divine, which was the most painful part of this transition. This connection was something I had learned to count on.

As my integration into my new life and my healing continued, so did my need to be open to how my Divine Guidance was showing up for me. I had a deep desire to listen to and heed my intuition even more. I had to let go of listening to everyone else over what I knew to be true for me. By now, this was an obvious recurring theme for me.

The Sweet Power of Surrender.

As I began to surrender to this new way, following the breadcrumbs along the way, I grew in my ability to trust again. Things opened up in ways I couldn’t have imagined. It wasn’t quick or easy, but with the right support things slowly began to shift.

My Life Now.

By being willing to surrender and become aligned to what is true for me and what I love, my business, relationships and personal life are thriving in ways I couldn’t have imagined. Amazing opportunities and wonderful colleagues, friends, clients and experiences have come into my world. I continue to reconnect to myself and the Divine in rich, new ways and help my clients to do the same.

My husband and I bought our dream ranch in the Rocky Mountains near Denver. We live at 7500 feet in elevation where we garden, hike, spend time with our kids, Grant and Serena, and enjoy our furry farm family of two llamas, three goats, two barn cats and our beloved dogs, Odin and Luna. We are remodeling our home and making it our haven for connection, peace and rejuvenation.

My relationship with my husband has grown and deepened and we will celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary in January. We enjoy traveling with our kids. I also travel to Wisconsin a couple of times each year to visit my mom, family and friends. It is time I cherish.

I wake up every day to an awesome view of the mountains, to blue skies and being surrounded by the beauty of nature and new possibilities, again, feeling Divinely guided and supported each step of the way.

Through these experiences emerged my unique ability to help connect people to their greater purpose, own their personal power, and activate new possibilities so they can feel fulfilled — to elevate their life by enhancing their Energetic IQ™.

Has it been a smooth road?
It has not been a smooth road for me, however, it has been the ideal path for me to get to where I am now. I believe that is true for each of us. We each have life experiences that give us the opportunity to activate our truth, grow and expand our consciousness.

I have gone through periods of soul searching and deep introspection in my life. What I have uncovered is that I am wired to be of service and contribute to the lives of others – improving their quality of life – with my gifts. I am committed to and continuously aligning myself to live my highest purpose.

Starting my own coaching business and leaving the perceived comfort and security of a corporate job was a huge leap of faith for me. Fortunately, by nature, I am a very tenacious person. This determination helped me keep going at times I felt like giving up. At these times, in particular, it is important to have a strong anchor to why you are doing what you are doing. This helps you stay on track. Following your intuition is essential to keep you true to yourself, your path and your purpose. It also makes your path faster, much more enjoyable and fulfilling.

There are often curve balls – challenges, unforeseen circumstances, and surprises along the way. There are a few mindsets that have helped me navigate the valleys and enjoy the peaks of life. They are: Looking at a challenge as a puzzle, not a problem, then being open to finding the optimal resources, insights and steps to take, which make it so much easier. Also, the mindset that everything is being done for you, not too you. This means that inherent in each experience is a gift and it is up to me to find it. Even in the things on first look that seem to have no gift at all. I believe all of life and the experiences I have ultimately contribute to my growth, consciousness and wellbeing, even (and especially) the ones that feel the most difficult as they are happening.

What do you do, what do you specialize in, what are you known for, etc. What are you most proud of? What sets you apart from others?
I work with woman leaders and influencers who are here to make an authentic impact and be a catalyst for change. They are talented, intuitive professionals, coaches, consultants, healers, authors and speakers. I help them elevate their Energetic IQ®. They learn to understand their unique energetic wiring, empathic nature, intuitive channels and what they are here to do in the world. Together, we work at a soul-level to connect them with their deepest desires and dissolve what stands in their way so they can fulfill their highest purpose, power and possibilities. I partner with them, their Soul, and their Spiritual Team to help receive and trust their deepest guidance, heal from past experiences and align their energy to express themselves, reach their goals and make the authentic impact they were put on earth for.

My clients say that I help them unlock their soul from what is stopping them from living the life they’ve always wanted to live. I teach them how to work with their energy to help them stay clear and focused — which makes it much easier to move forward and hit their goals.

With my empathic, intuitive and energy skills and experiences, I am able to see, feel, hear and perceive what many others aren’t able to when working with clients. I help my clients to live at a higher level of consciousness so they can become more in tune with their truth, their path, and their next steps and live with a higher level of self-trust, fulfillment and deeper spiritual connection.

Everyone has a unique energy and way to use that energy. But most of us are never taught to connect to that energy fully, let alone utilize it to create our deepest soul’s desires.

This is Energetic IQ™. It is your capacity to understand and work with your unique energy – the foundational level and undercurrent of your life – to make conscious choices and fulfill your highest purpose, power and possibilities.

Through dedicated study, training and application, I’ve learned how to use my skills and talents to:

● Teach my clients to discern what energy is theirs and what is not theirs. Show them how to release energy negatively impacting them and keep their energy clear, vibrant and strong.
● Communicate with Angels and Spirit Guides to help guide my clients in their lives and embrace their worthiness to receive such guidance.
● Receive energy tools, techniques and ways to help my clients stand in an empowered place in all situations.
● Provide their unique mindset, strategies and ideas unique to my clients so they create a clear path to what they desire most.
● Connect my clients with the wisdom of their Soul, their highest purpose and release energy distortions and obstructions that limit their potential, so they can do what is most important to them.
● Heal from the past and what stands in the way from receiving their own intuition, support and greater joy and freedom.
● Connect with the dearly departed to share messages of hope and healing.
● Clarify their vision for themselves, who they really are and what is possible for them.
● Help my clients clearly understand how they receive their intuition and guide them in trusting and acting upon it for their most streamlined actions and results.

I collaborate with and support my clients to be true to themselves, their Soul’s expression and their highest vision.

My clients have:
● opened their intuitive gifts and strengthened their spiritual connection,
● grown their confidence to follow their calling,
● wrote their book,
● felt more in control of their choices and life,
● started their own business,
● attracted their soul mate,
● found their own formula to success,
● transformed their relationships,
● created a more harmonious family,
● ran a marathon,
● up-leveled their business and income, and
● came back to following their truth.

They’ve created deeper spiritual connection, relationships, work, health and wealth beyond what they imagined possible for themselves. This feeds their Soul and allows them to contribute their highest gifts, love and service for true fulfillment and the benefit of all.

Were there people and/or experiences you had in your childhood that you feel laid the foundation for your success?
Growing up as part of a hardworking farm family, I learned how to be tenacious as the youngest and smallest of my siblings and cousins I grew up with. I learned the importance of a good work ethic, being true to your word and working together with a team mindset. I was fortunate to have parents who taught us to not only be responsible but also held us in high regard with our own capabilities. They encouraged us to follow our own path and were behind us all the way. They treated us as individuals and saw our strengths. They expected a lot of us. This raised the bar for me and my siblings to expect a lot of ourselves, too. My parents overcame adversity and were role models for us to do the same. My dad graduated from eighth grade and never stopped studying and learning. I am a lifelong learner as well, which is an important factor in success.
