Marsha emphasizes that true alignment can only be achieved when...

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...

Throughout the episode, Marsha shares her insights on how to shift perspectives, using a recent example of a client who expressed self-doubt. By flipping the narrative to highlight the client's belief in herself, Marsha illustrates the power of reframing one's story. She emphasizes that resilience is...

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). This was my first time leading such an intensive program, and while it came with its challenges, I emerged with invaluable insights about myself and my coaching practice. I also touch on the subconscious mind's inclination to cling to familiar patterns, even if they lead to exhaustion. I highlight the significance of pausing and integrating our experiences rather than...
