The Cost Of Becoming Her 02/27/2026

The Cost Of Becoming Her EPISODE SUMMARY In this powerful and deeply honest episode, Marisa explores the emotional, spiritual, and psychological costs that come with becoming the healed, whole, aligned version of yourself. Growth is beautiful — but it is also disruptive. Healing elevates you — but it also separates you. Becoming “her” requires releasing old identities, outdated relationships, limiting beliefs, and environments that no longer support your future. This episode helps listeners understand the grief that comes with growth, the losses that are part of elevation, and the incredible freedom that arrives on the other side. KEY TOPICS COVERED ✨ The hidden costs of healing and elevation ✨ Why becoming “her” disrupts your old life ✨ Losing people who loved the unhealed version of you ✨ Outgrowing environments and identities ✨ The grief that comes with letting go ✨ The emotional and spiritual transitions of becoming ✨ Why your gain will always outweigh your loss WHAT YOU WILL LEARN After listening, you will understand: Why growth can feel lonely Why certain relationships shift or break How to navigate the discomfort of elevation Why healing requires courage How to honor your evolution without guilt Why becoming “her” is worth every sacrifice AFFIRMATIONS FROM THIS EPISODE Becoming her is worth the cost. I release what no longer aligns with my future. I honor the woman I’m becoming. Elevation requires separation, and I am not afraid. I choose me, fully and unapologetically. THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR YOU IF… You are: Healing from emotional patterns Elevating to a new season of your life Rebuilding self-worth and identity Experiencing shifts in relationships Feeling guilt about choosing yourself Feeling the discomfort of growth Learning to honor your evolution LISTENER TAKEAWAYS By the end of this episode, listeners will walk away with: ✨ Clarity about why growth feels heavy ✨ Permission to release what no longer aligns ✨ Comfort in the normalcy of transition ✨ Strength to continue evolving ✨ Appreciation for the woman they are becoming CALL TO ACTION If this episode resonated with you, share it with another woman on her healing journey.

Together, we unpack how mental bondage, people-pleasing, old narratives, and self-doubt can keep us stuck… and how stepping into your YES becomes the beginning of liberation, healing, and self-restoration. Whether your “yes” looks big or small, this episode reminds you that every step counts — and you are worthy of the life you envision. KEY TOPICS The moment of shifting from “enough is enough” to “now I choose me” Understanding mental and emotional bondage Why giving yourself permission is so difficult Being needed vs. being fulfilled Breaking cycles of self-neglect The uncomfortable “hallway” between your no and your yes Daily habits that support healing and forward movement Affirmations to strengthen your yes AFFIRMATIONS FROM THIS EPISODE I deserve the life I envision.

What’s Coming Next: Healing, Empowerment, and the Journey Forward 01/18/2026

What’s Coming Next: Healing, Empowerment, and the Journey Forward Hello beautiful souls, and welcome back to the Intentionally B U Podcast. If this is your first time here, welcome — I’m so glad you found your way to this space. And if you’ve been walking with me on this journey for a while now, thank you for continuing to show up, listen, and grow with me. This podcast has always been about one thing: creating intentional space for healing, truth, and becoming who you were created to be. Today’s episode is special because I want to share what’s ahead — not just for the podcast, but for the community that’s growing around it. WHY THIS NEXT SEASON MATTERS (Minute 1–3) As we prepare to move into January, I felt it was important to pause and speak directly to you — the listener who may be standing at a crossroads. Maybe you’re tired. Maybe you’ve been carrying things in silence. Maybe you’ve done everything you know how to do… and you’re ready for something different. This next season isn’t about perfection. It’s about permission — permission to heal, to grow, and to say yes to yourself without guilt. That’s why the upcoming January podcast series is so important. In January, we’re launching a new empowerment and healing series that will focus on: Letting go of survival mode Rebuilding confidence and self-trust Healing from emotional wounds — quietly or loudly Learning how to choose yourself again Walking forward intentionally, even when fear is present These conversations will be honest. They’ll be real. And they’ll meet you right where you are — whether you’re just starting your healing journey or you’ve been walking it for years. You don’t need to have it all figured out to be here. You just need to be willing to listen. Alongside the podcast series, I’m also preparing to launch something very close to my heart — theEmpowerment Circle. This will be a safe, supportive space for women who are ready to grow, heal, and connect with others who understand the journey. The Empowerment Circle is for women who: Feel called to more but aren’t sure how to get there Are tired of doing life alone Want accountability, encouragement, and sisterhood Are ready to heal from the inside out This isn’t about judgment. This is about community, strength, and support. You’ll hear more details soon, but I wanted you to know — this space is being created with you in mind. I also want to briefly share a vision that’s still unfolding — the future Her Haven Transitional Housing initiative. Her Haven is more than housing. It’s a place of safety, healing, and restoration for women who need support as they rebuild their lives. This vision was born out of understanding how powerful it is when a woman has: A safe place A supportive community Emotional and empowerment resources And the space to heal without pressure While this is a future venture, it’s deeply connected to everything we’re doing now — because healing doesn’t start when housing is provided. Healing starts with hope, voice, and community. As we move into this next season, I invite you to stay connected. Follow the podcast on social media so you don’t miss: Updates on the January series Empowerment Circle announcements Behind-the-scenes encouragement and inspiration 👉 Follow @intentionally.bu.podcast on Facebook and Instagram And if today’s episode spoke to you, share it with someone who needs to hear that healing is possible and they are not alone. Thank you for being here. Thank you for choosing yourself. And remember — you don’t have to rush the process. Just keep moving forward, intentionally. Until next time… be intentional, be courageous, and most of all — be you. /episode/index/show/b56109d6-c815-4a9e-9238-82b9177cc5d1/id/39767795

Breaking the Chains and Overcoming Inconsistency 03/08/2025

DeLulu or Faith? The Power of Unwavering Belief 02/14/2025

DeLulu or Faith? The Power of Unwavering Belief Today, we’re diving into a word that’s been making waves lately—DeLulu. You may have heard it, but what does it really mean? And how does it connect to manifesting your dreams? After watching a talk show where guests shared how embracing the DeLulu mindset helped them achieve their goals, I started wondering, could this just be faith in action? 💡 In this episode, we explore: ✅ What DeLulu means and how it’s being used to manifest dreams ✅ The connection between DeLulu and faith, and how both require belief in the unseen ✅ Real-life stories of individuals who used this mindset to land their dream job, meet their ideal partner, and build their savings ✅ How unwavering belief—whether in faith or the DeLulu mindset—can push you past doubts, setbacks, and critics 📖 Hebrews 11:1 reminds us that “faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” So is DeLulu just another way of saying we believe in something before it happens? No matter where you stand—whether you’re walking by faith or embracing DeLulu—one thing is clear: believing in yourself and your vision is a powerful force for change. ✨ Your Takeaway: Keep believing in your dreams, even when no one else does Push past the critics, the setbacks, and the doubts Stay intentional in your journey—because your belief is what will carry you through I’m rooting for you! Keep dreaming big, stay encouraged, and as always, be intentional. 💬 Share your thoughts! Do you resonate with the DeLulu mindset, or do you see it as faith in action? Let’s continue the conversation! 🎧 Follow & Leave a Review! If you loved this episode, be sure to rate, review, and follow Intentionally Be You for more uplifting conversations.
