940 | Grow Your Capacity to Match Your Ambition
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, Marsha breaks down the real reason so many high achieving women feel stuck, overwhelmed, or frustrated with their results even when they’re “doing everything right.” She explains the crucial difference between ambition (your conscious goals, vision, and drive) and capacity (your subconscious beliefs, emotional safety, and nervous system bandwidth) — and why misalignment between the two creates shutdown, procrastination, and self protection that masquerades as sabotage. Marsha also shares how she handles year end planning, why recapping and stacking wins matters more...

Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, Marsha breaks down one of the most powerful metaphors she’s ever heard about the subconscious mind. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right — checking the boxes, setting goals, mapping the plan — yet still not seeing the results you want, this one is going to hit home. Using the imagery of a state of the art GPS (your conscious mind) sitting on top of an outdated paper road map (your subconscious mind), Marsha explains why your inner operating systems must match if you want real, lasting change.

937 | The Diamonds Were Always Within You
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, Marsha recounts a powerful story known as "The Acres of Diamonds," from Matt Cook's book, Beyond Wanting, which illustrates how individuals frequently overlook the treasures that lie within their own lives while searching desperately for fulfillment elsewhere. The tale follows a farmer in 1800s Africa who, driven by the desire to provide for his family, sells his farm in pursuit of diamonds. After years of fruitless searching and ultimately losing everything, he tragically takes his own life. Ironically, the new owner of the farmer's land discovers that it sits atop one of the...

936 | Your Ceiling Is Your Biggest Thought

In this episode, Marsha speaks to the distinction between operating under pressure and embracing a state of internal power. Marsha introduces the concept of the "ceiling" and "floor" in relation to personal beliefs and aspirations. The ceiling represents the highest thoughts one allows themselves to entertain, while the floor symbolizes the deepest beliefs that anchor an individual. She explains that our lives are constructed within the space between these two points, shaped by subconscious programming rather than mere strategy. Marsha discusses the importance of recognizing and...

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.

Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, Marsha discusses the difference between conscious and subconscious values and highlights the frustration that arises when one's conscious goals clash with subconscious beliefs. Throughout the episode, Marsha explains that while conscious values represent only 5% of our mindset, the remaining 95% is governed by the subconscious.

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 talk about the reasons why you are not starting whatever it is that is calling on your heart. Everything is a staircase model, like climbing a mountain. Your new life is going to cost you your old one. It’s going to cost you your comfort zone and your sense of direction. It’s going to cost you relationships and friends. It’s going to cost you being liked and understood. It doesn’t matter.” ~ Brianna Wiest
In this episode, we discuss:
1) Some of the emotions that are most strongly connected with self-sabotaging behaviours are important for us to better understand. It is not about simply ‘getting over’ them; it is about listening to what they are trying to tell us about our experience.
2) Break it down to the reasons why you are telling yourself you haven’t started the thing you want to do yet. Then break it down to the steps that you can start today that will move you closer to where you want to be, and then how can you learn from someone else who’s done what you want to do, and how can you find the answers that can help you bring your vision to life?
