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

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.

info_outlineIn this episode, I am sharing thoughts on how mentors can teach you how to collapse time. I have been in the role of being a lifelong student for years, and I recently experienced a Breakthrough Day as a Master NLP Practitioner and it had me reflecting on this journey.
In this episode, we discuss:
1) We all have a personal and business vision of who we are and where we want to be, but getting there on our own, with all life’s distractions, commitments, psychological baggage, perceived limitations and roadblocks, can block our momentum. Our brain, limiting thoughts and beliefs are not our friend and can stop us in our tracks.
2) A great coach or mentor, especially one who has been in your shoes before, and then upsized. For a good coach to be a good fit for you, they must have had actual experience in what you want to achieve, and they must have done what you want before, in their own lives. They are an expert because they have shared their experiences and it is relatable to you and where you’re at.
3) The only way they can truly collapse time is if you choose to integrate, apply the learnings and embody the lessons. Plus your network becomes your net worth. Get in the rooms and allow yourself to immerse and learn what you are meant to learn. It’s accountability at its finest.
