info_outline 117. Who are you being when no one is watching?Live On Purpose
It's one thing to be mindful of who you are being and how you are acting when you're around other people. We do this naturally - usually from a place of self consciousness and often, insecurity. But, that's not what I'm interested in. Anybody can put on a mask for other people. The real question is: who are you being when NO ONE is watching? Who are you being when no one is there to congratulate you, validate you, like or comment on your "stuff"? Who is the person you are cultivating with your private thoughts and habits? Only you get to decide that. If you enjoy today's episode, please...
info_outline 116. Increase Your Peace with Kelly RyanLive On Purpose
This conversation is so timely + supportive. It's a big ole' exhale that many people need. "It's the fastest way to calm yourself down." - Kelly It isn't often that I meet other humans who have read most of the same books I have and deliver mindfulness and meditation teaching in the same way as I do. In fact, up until recently I hadn't met anyone like this. Until Kelly Ryan came into my life, that is. The conversation that followed was POWERFUL. Kelly Ryan went from a chronically ill, stressed out corporate executive to a calm and centered mindset coach, meditation teacher, energy healer,...
info_outline 115. Feeling Worthy Of Feeling GoodLive On Purpose
I was chatting with a friend about food sensitivities, something I have struggled with for many, many years. And she asked me, "Marie, how do you navigate your food sensitivities around other peoples' cooking? How do you embrace living in a sensitive body?" This conversation is inspired by that question. And what came up and out because of it is an important discussion on self worth and what it looks like to feel worthy of feeling good in the first place. Feeling good is your birthright. You've just been trained to feel bad more of the time. Let's rewrite that. Included in this episode...
info_outline 114. Take Charge Of Your Health with Omega-3s and Max MarionLive On Purpose
Supplementation is an incredible way to support your overall well-being in conjunction with a balanced lifestyle. But not all supplements are created the same. I agree wholeheartedly with Max Marion, my guest on the podcast today, who believes "it should be done properly." This conversation is an incredible reminder that you are 100% responsible for you and when you take charge of your health, you naturally improve your quality of life. I've been using and loving Aqua Omega's algae-based Omega 3 supplements for the last few years and have noticed a major decrease in my overall inflammation....
info_outlineThe way Judy Machado connected with me was just like that.
I opened my email inbox to find the most genuine, thoughtful, loving message from this total stranger about how impactful my podcast is and how beautiful my mission of empowering women is. I was immediately drawn to this woman's kindness and then, when we got to dive into her zone of genius: sacred cacao, I was completely hooked.
Judy is the Author of Life Purpose Playbook and the Founder of Goddess Temple Cacao. She is an incredible teacher of this sacred plant medicine.
Entrepreneur, Coach & business owner, Judy was recently a Partner of a bean to bar chocolate company. She became infatuated with the spiritual history and significance of Cacao and whole heartily connected to the Spirit of this heart opening, Consciousness-raising plant medicine.
Over the years, she deepened her connection with the plant and began to experience a profound relationship with the Cacao higher Consciousness, receiving profound messages to share with the world.
Judy has been exponentially transformed through her profound relationship with Sacred Cacao. She's grateful and Honoured to share this powerful plant medicine with others.
And the best part? YOU CAN FEEL IT FROM HER when she speaks about it.
This is hands down one of my FAVOURITE conversations I've ever had the pleasure to record. I will personally revisit this one many times because of the wisdom that Judy shared within it.
"In order to evolve, you must experience love backwards - evol, love - we live in this duality. We've come here to experience the darkness so that we can remember our light."
- Judy Machado
We chatted about:
- The curious story that brought Judy to working with ceremonial cacao
- Master plants, Teacher plants and how Collective Consciousness works
- Theobroma, or "the food of Gods and Goddesses"
- Sacred relationships and what constitutes them
- Conditioning, limiting beliefs and ego stories vs. our true nature
- Plant medicines

- An incredible story at the end of our chat that almost had me in tears
