We were lucky to catch up with Tammy Adams recently and have shared our conversation below.
Tammy, we’re thrilled to have you on our platform and we think there is so much folks can learn from you and your story. Something that matters deeply to us is living a life and leading a career filled with purpose and so let’s start by chatting about how you found your purpose.
My purpose has remained the same throughout my many lifetimes on Earth: to guide others toward their life’s purpose and help them align with their true potential. This journey began early, as I grew up with the ability to speak with God, Angels, and people who had passed away. While this gift has always been a blessing, it wasn’t always easy.
As a child, I thought my abilities were normal, something everyone could do. But others didn’t see it that way. In school, I was labeled “weird” and sent to the office as “the child looking for attention.” Teachers thought I was lying when I talked about spirits, and my peers didn’t understand me. My parents, embarrassed and unsure of how to handle my abilities, tried to “fix me,” often taking me to various people and places in an attempt to change who I was. It was isolating—I was shunned from family events and even ostracized on the playground.
But through these challenges, my purpose remained clear. What others saw as a burden, I embraced as my gift. My parents’ attempts to “correct me” led me to spiritual leaders and mentors from around the world, including Pope John Paul II, Mother Teresa, and the Dalai Lama. These extraordinary figures recognized my abilities and helped me see that I was more than just a shaman—I was a teacher of teachers.
From an early age, I was taken in by holy people of various faiths and backgrounds who nurtured my abilities. A Hopi Indian Shaman named Lewis taught me the sacred ways of his people. In Vatican City, Father Phillip offered wisdom and guidance. The Visionaries of Medjugorje and the queen of the Himba Tribe in Namibia also opened their hearts to me, helping me deepen my understanding of my gifts.
These experiences not only solidified my purpose but also inspired me to share my knowledge with others. I’ve spent my life hosting workshops, retreats, 1:1 counseling sessions, and online courses to help seekers uncover their own life’s purpose. Through this work, I aim to show others that their challenges can lead to their greatest blessings and that alignment with their true self is the key to living abundantly and joyfully.
Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?
I am a spiritual life coach and shaman who helps people uncover their life purpose, align with their higher selves, and find balance through chakra energy work. What I love is witnessing the transformations in my clients’ lives. I believe that everyone has a purpose, and my role is to help them uncover and align with it in a way that feels authentic and empowering There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing someone realize their potential, heal from past wounds, and step confidently into their purpose
I am currently hosting a series of workshops focused on chakra healing and how to align energy for success in both personal and professional life. I offer online courses online in a variety of subjects from Soulmate connection Discovery to Business Prosperity, and hold retreats around the world for deeper, more intense spiritual work. I have also written a book on the subject of Chakras called, The Secret to Your Chakra’s: A Handbook to Guide You Working with Your Chakra’s and am launching a new guided meditation series that’s designed to help people reduce stress, increase focus, and connect with their higher selves on a daily basis. You can find all this information on how to participate in my services on my website: Lifepurposeshaman.com and follow me on Instagram to keep up! @lifepurposeshaman
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
1. Intuitive Spiritual Guidance – One of my greatest strengths is my ability to connect with higher energies and divine guidance. This allows me to help my clients uncover their life purpose and find clarity in their spiritual journeys. It’s about empowering them to listen to their inner voice and align with their true path.
2. Chakra Energy Expertise – I educate others on chakra energy and how it affects every aspect of their lives—physically, emotionally, and spiritually I show how to balance and align your chakras, guiding them toward healing and achieving harmony within themselves. 3. Holistic Mentorship and Community Building – A vital aspect of my work is fostering a sense of belonging and mentorship within the spiritual community. I guide individuals to connect with like-minded souls, creating safe spaces where they can share their journeys and grow together. Building a support network enriches the process of self-discovery and helps them feel empowered to live authentically.
Looking back on my journey, the most important thing I’ve learned is to trust your intuition. Learning to listen to your inner voice was a turning point for me. Intuition is like a muscle—the more you use it, the stronger it gets. Start by creating quiet moments for yourself daily, whether through meditation, journaling, or simply being in nature. That’s where you’ll begin to hear your inner guidance.
Second, I would say resilience. For anyone early in their journey, remind yourself that every challenge is an opportunity to grow stronger. Embrace the hard moments; they’re shaping you. Resilience isn’t about never falling—it’s about getting up and trusting the process. Start connecting with others on a deep level.
Whether it’s friends, mentors, or even strangers, creating meaningful relationships has been the foundation of everything I do. Show up authentically, listen deeply, and always approach others with an open heart. The connections you make will be the stepping stones on your path. Anyone just starting, remember that your journey is uniquely yours. Be patient with yourself, invest in your growth, and trust that every step you take is leading you exactly where you’re meant to go.
Do you think it’s better to go all in on our strengths or to try to be more well-rounded by investing effort on improving areas you aren’t as strong in?
I believe we are each born with unique gifts and strengths for a reason—they are the compass that guides us toward our purpose. When we go all in on our strengths, we align with our higher selves and live authentically. This doesn’t mean we should ignore areas where we feel less confident, but rather, we should focus on our natural abilities and allow those to lead the way while seeking support or collaboration in areas that aren’t our innate specialties.
For instance, I’ve always had an innate connection to divine energy and spiritual guidance. While I wasn’t naturally drawn to the logistical aspects of running a business, I leaned into my spiritual gifts and trusted that others would come into my life to support me in the areas I lacked expertise. And they did. By focusing on what I do best—helping others align with their higher selves—I’ve been able to create profound change in people’s lives while allowing others to shine in their areas of expertise.
In my experience, honoring your strengths is a form of self-respect and trust in the divine design of who you are. When we embrace this, everything else tends to fall into place.
