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. She walks you through why we get stuck, why the...

936 | Your Ceiling Is Your Biggest Thought
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
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.

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?

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...

Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, Marsha dives into the distinction between inspiration and activation, sharing her personal insights and experiences that have shaped her understanding of these concepts.

Marsha passionately advocates for the...
info_outlineIn this episode, I share the concept of identity and its critical role in facilitating lasting change, particularly through the lens of neurolinguistic programming (NLP). I share insights from my experiences with clients in various coaching settings, emphasizing that true transformation occurs at the identity level.
I talk about the destruction before creation, explaining that letting go of old patterns, relationships, and beliefs is essential for making space for new growth. I encourage listeners to reframe their perspectives on loss, viewing it as a sign of alignment rather than defeat. By asking ourselves what is being made space for, we can embrace the chaos and discomfort as part of the process of becoming who we are meant to be.
This quote summarizes it perfectly… “You won’t find your true self by holding onto who you were. Let go, trust the shift, and step into your becoming.”
