934 | If You Spoke Your Thoughts Out Loud
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, Marsha invites listeners into a deeply personal exploration of the power of thoughts and self-talk. She begins by posing a thought-provoking question: if one were to vocalize their inner thoughts, what would others hear? Would it be a stream of empowering affirmations or a verbal dump of self-doubt and criticism? Marsha emphasizes that our internal dialogue is a powerful broadcast that shapes our reality, and she encourages listeners to reflect on the nature of their own thoughts.

931 | Healing Doesn't Have to Be Hard
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I challenge the notion that healing must be a heavy, burdensome experience. Instead, I advocate for a lighter approach, where we can learn to feel our emotions without being overwhelmed by them. Throughout the episode, I discuss the concept of nervous system regulation and how it plays a crucial role in our healing journey. I explain that healing does not necessitate a complete pause in our lives; rather, it involves training our minds to respond differently to triggers and challenges. By embracing emotions and learning to navigate them, we can create a sense of safety and...

In this episode, I am thrilled to share my reflections following the Outspoken Master Practitioner immersion, a transformative six-day experience where we practiced and experienced the tools of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming).

info_outline#309: Savage Surrender with SaraMae Hollandsworth
Today we are speaking with SaraMae Hollandsworth. SaraMae is a Wellness Executive + Entrepreneur, Physical + Spiritual Fitness Expert, Double Certified Health Coach & Personal Trainer, Speaker, Writer, and Athlete. SaraMae Hollandsworth had over 20 years of experience as a health and fitness expert and entrepreneur. She is a high-performance athlete and trainer who suffered a near-life-ending infection that landed her in life support and in a coma and ultimately caused her to have both legs amputated below the knees. Her story is one of rising from rock bottom and near-death to rebuild her life better, stronger, healthier, and happier than before. To repurpose her pain into power, purpose, and potential. She is committed to using her story to help others heal, thrive, and fulfill their God-given purpose.
In this episode we discuss:
1) How we are co-creators and creators of our life and we can create change when we embody this thinking and perspective. Sitting and waiting for life to change on its own is literally giving away our power to our circumstances and taking ourselves out of the driver’s seat from creating life-changing results.
2) The concept of “Savage Surrender”, forgiveness, letting go, and what a spiritual awakening can actually look like. It isn’t a beautiful or peaceful awakening. In fact, it can be a messy wake-up call full of loud, banging music and noises that are disruptive. Embracing all of it, especially the messy parts is the path to creating lasting change.
3) The concepts of healing generational trauma, how that work can be so heavy and challenging, yet some of us are called into this space because we are truly the ones to break that cycle.
4) The best is yet to come. When we stay in this headspace and energy we show up for our lives being in the driver’s seat and open to receiving the messages meant for us, and anchor in the knowledge that we can create whatever we desire in our lives.
