The Team of Your Soul
(Season 6 | Episode 234)
with Tami Nora and Karen Yadovsky
[TESSA] In this episode of The Open Nesters Podcast, we delve into the concept of “open nesting” as a transformative stage of life post-parenthood. As my partner and I embraced this new chapter after our children left home, we discovered a world of possibilities waiting for us. Instead of viewing ourselves as empty nesters, we chose to remain open to new experiences, broadening our horizons through travel and deeper connections with family and friends. This mindset shift has not only enriched our lives but has also enhanced our relationships with our children and each other.
The Team of Your Soul (Season 6 | Episode 235)

Join me as I introduce Tami Nora and Karen Yadovsky, two incredible mentors who specialize in helping individuals navigate life with purpose and authenticity. Tami, a spiritual teacher, therapist, and author, brings a unique blend of artistry and insight to empower others in manifesting their potential. Karen, a business mentor and expert in human behavior, complements Tami’s insights with practical strategies for personal growth and interpersonal connections. Together, they illuminate the intricate dynamics of friendship and mentorship, highlighting how authentic connections can profoundly impact our lives.
In this episode, we explore the significance of friendship as a vital conduit for personal growth. The conversation touches on my upcoming book, “The Five Doors of Friendship,” which examines various facets of friendship, including play, inspiration, and generosity. As Tami and Karen share their experiences, we delve into how friendship can serve as a reflection of our self-worth and personal growth. The dialogue reveals that true friendships thrive when built on mutual respect and a shared vision for growth, serving as a support system during challenging times.
Tami and Karen also emphasize the importance of mentorship, discussing how their long-standing friendship has allowed them to grow both individually and collectively. Their journey together illustrates how life’s challenges can forge deeper bonds and inspire transformative changes. Through their stories, we gain insights into how to attract meaningful relationships by elevating our own frequencies and being open to connections that align with our values and aspirations.
As they discuss the challenges of maintaining self-worth while navigating relationships, Tami and Karen provide strategies for individuals seeking to cultivate new friendships or mentorships. They encourage listeners to recognize their inherent value and to seek out those who reflect their energies and ambitions. Throughout the episode, we touch on the dual nature of friendship—how it requires both courage and vulnerability, and how, at times, the friction within relationships can ultimately lead to greater understanding and growth.
The episode is rich with insights on the power of friendship as a source of strength and inspiration, resonating with the theme of our community’s growth. As we look toward the future and the release of my book, I’m excited to share this journey and encourage listeners to open themselves to the possibilities that await through authentic relationships. The conversation continues into the next episode as we further explore the transformative power of mentorship and inspiration, inviting you to join us in discovering the doors that lead to deeper connections and personal growth.
