The Executive Exhale Podcast
The Executive Exhale Podcast is your space to pause, breathe, and ask the question so many leaders quietly carry: What’s next for me?
Hosted by leadership coach and facilitator Tammy Delaney-Plugowsky, a former critical care nurse with more than two decades in emergency management and public health executive leadership, this podcast is for mid-career and senior leaders who know it’s time for something new but aren’t sure where to start, or are afraid to.
After navigating burnout twice, Tammy came to terms with the fact that her life couldn’t keep going the way it was. She built her exit strategy, made the leap from her 9-to-5, and designed what came next. Now she shares honest conversations with guests who have made, or help others make, meaningful career and life transitions.
Whether you’re considering a career pivot, planning life after corporate, redefining retirement, or letting go of a professional identity you’ve outgrown, each episode offers real stories, practical insights and actionable next steps.
Guided by the EXHALE Method™, a framework for navigating life’s transitions, reconnecting with what matters and intentionally creating what comes next, The Executive Exhale helps you stop waiting for “someday” and start creating a life you don’t have to wait to enjoy.
