About this listen

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.
