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.

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...

info_outlineIn this episode, I want to share a question I started asking myself over 7 years ago and it changed everything. This was a simple shift that I still use to this day, and to clarify this is something that has worked for me. I encourage you to continue to work to find the thing that works for you especially if you want to change and move directions from where you currently are feeling stuck.
In this episode we discuss:
1) The Why questions? Why is a victim question that will never leave or give us an answer to justify the reasons why we might be feeling challenged. This space leaves us stuck IN our stories. No change happens from that space. Healing starts when we can be in a space of ownership and seeing how we can respond differently regardless of our circumstances. We are the common denominator to everything that is happening in our lives, regardless of what else is happening.
2) This is not an automatic switch. It requires grieving, guilt and surrender to what we can’t control and owning the shit out of what we can control. With a lot of practice, conscious awareness, and repetition the whole story can change.
3) The WHY is only important when you are driving towards your goals, when you are working for a purpose. In this example the why can keep you grounded and focused. When we use the word why for judgement, justification or jealousy, it can be paralyzing. It can keep us stuck in our challenges, unhappy, spiraling out of control, full of resistance and resentment, and at the end it is all a waste of time and energy.
