824 | The Identity Shifts You Walk Through
In 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.” HIGHLIGHTS 00:00:00 - Introduction to Identity Work 00:01:15 - The Importance of Identity Shifts 00:02:09 - Who Are You Beyond Labels? 00:03:03 - The Depth of Identity Change 00:04:06 - Subconscious Patterns and Identity 00:05:43 - Navigating Identity Confusion 00:07:29 - The Void Phase of Identity Change 00:09:25 - Destruction Before Creation 00:11:01 - Reframing Loss as Opportunity 00:12:28 - Embodying Your New Identity 00:14:06 - Trusting the Process of Change 00:16:05 - Rewiring Your Language 00:18:04 - Becoming Your True Self 00:19:30 - Celebrating Identity Growth Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Download “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in March 2025) Learn more about changing the Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program .

822 | What it Takes to Be A Sober Gangster with Kate Vitela
In this episode, I speak with Kate Vitela, a board-certified nurse coach and certified addiction RN with over two decades of nursing experience. Kate has been sober since 2018. She has empowered women in recovery with humour, science, and spiritual growth. Her podcast, "You Been Selected," inspires transformation through real talk and actionable tools for sobriety and personal development. Throughout our conversation, we explored the misconceptions surrounding addiction, particularly the stigma that often accompanies it. Kate emphasized the importance of understanding addiction as a complex issue rooted in pain and trauma rather than a moral failing. She highlighted the need for compassion and support for those struggling with addiction and how her coaching practice aims to provide a safe space for individuals to explore their relationship with alcohol.

821 | It's Not About Whether Anyone Else Believes in You
In this episode, I am sharing the myth that you need someone to believe in order to have success in yourself. I challenge the notion that we need this external belief to move forward in our lives and businesses. Instead, I emphasize the importance of cultivating our own belief in ourselves, as this internal conviction is what truly drives change and success. Throughout the episode, I introduce the idea that our calling is uniquely ours—it's not a conference call where everyone else is expected to cheer us on. I encourage listeners to consider what it would feel like to believe in themselves as if everyone else did. This self-belief is foundational; without it, our actions and energy will reflect doubt, making it difficult for others to see our potential. HIGHLIGHTS 00:00:00 - Believing in Yourself vs. External Validation 00:02:30 - The Importance of Self-Conviction 00:04:45 - Ownership vs. Blame 00:06:25 - The Role of Subconscious Beliefs 00:09:00 - Reframing Limiting Beliefs 00:11:30 - Taking Action Despite Uncertainty 00:13:30 - Strengthening Self-Belief Through Repetition 00:15:30 - Surrounding Yourself with Support 00:16:50 - Your Relationship with Yourself 00:18:00 - Stepping into Your Gifts and Abilities Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Download “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in March 2025) Learn more about changing the Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program .

820 | Where Do You Find Your Expanders?
In this episode, I dive deep into one of the most transformative elements of my business journey: the power of in-person connections. I have witnessed firsthand how being in a room with like-minded individuals can expand my network, mindset, and business potential. Throughout the episode, I emphasize the concept of "expanders"—individuals who stretch our vision of what is possible. I encourage listeners to seek out these expanders in virtual or in-person settings, as they can provide invaluable insights and inspiration. I discuss how entering the right rooms can change your energy, boost confidence, and lead to meaningful conversations and collaborations. HIGHLIGHTS 00:00:00 - The Power of In-Person Networking 00:01:00 - Recognizing Limiting Beliefs 00:02:00 - Surrounding Yourself with Expanders 00:03:30 - The Importance of the Right Rooms 00:05:00 - Shifting Your Energy and Confidence 00:06:30 - Finding Value in Conversations 00:08:00 - Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone 00:09:30 - The Impact of Major Events 00:10:30 - Creating Opportunities for Connection 00:12:30 - Upcoming Events and Community Building Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Download “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in March 2025) Learn more about changing the Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program .

818 | Raising the Floor Before Raising the Bar
In this episode, I recount my experience speaking at the Manifest Her event, where I participated in a wealth panel. This opportunity sparked a significant realization about the disconnect between our lofty goals and our self-belief. I emphasize the necessity of raising our "floor"—the foundation of our self-worth and belief in our capabilities—before we can effectively reach higher goals. I discuss how failing to address this gap can lead to a cycle of self-sabotage, where unmet goals diminish our self-esteem even further. I encourage listeners to define their success and assess whether they have the belief and readiness to achieve their goals. By doing so, we can identify the steps needed to build our self-worth and confidence. HIGHLIGHTS 00:00:00 - Introduction to Goal Setting 00:01:00 - The Disconnect in Goal Setting 00:02:30 - Raising the Floor vs. Raising the Bar 00:04:50 - The Importance of Self-Belief 00:06:30 - Defining Your Success 00:08:00 - Understanding Your Current Floor 00:10:00 - Personal Story: Navigating Loss and Contraction 00:12:30 - Rewiring Your Subconscious Mind 00:14:00 - Building a Strong Foundation 00:16:30 - Playing Bigger and Embracing Capability Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Download “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in March 2025) Learn more about changing the Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program .

817 | Your Heart as a Superpower: Learning to Lead with Love
On this Valentine's Day episode, which emphasizes love and connection, I share a personal journey of self-discovery and the importance of leading with love. This episode is inspired by my late mother-in-law, who played a significant role in my life for nearly 40 years. Her recent passing has prompted me to reflect on the themes of vulnerability and the necessity of dropping our emotional armour. I share the concept of vulnerability, discussing how many of us have been conditioned to be strong and stoic, often at the expense of our emotional well-being. I recount my struggles with this armour, which I believed was my strength, and how it ultimately led to a disconnection from myself and others. Through subconscious reprogramming and a commitment to change, I learned to create a sense of safety from within, allowing me to be seen and to connect more deeply with those around me.

812 | Manifesting with the Power of NLP
In this episode, I am sharing the message of manifestation combined with NLP. I am currently reading "Mind Magic" by Dr. James Doty, a neurosurgeon who explores the science behind manifesting and how our brains function. His insights have resonated with me, especially as he outlines a six-step process for manifesting anything you want. I share these steps through the Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) lens, hoping to provide a fresh perspective that might resonate with you. Bring your pen and paper. This is a packed episode.

811 | The Book You’re Writing Every Day
In this episode, I dive into the concept of our daily thoughts and how they shape the narrative of our lives. I start by sharing a striking statistic: we have between 60,000 and 80,000 thoughts daily, with 80% to 90% being repetitive and predominantly negative. This realization led me to a powerful metaphor: if we write a book in our minds daily, what kind of book are we writing? What is your "daily book" revealing about you? Are the thoughts uplifting and empowering, or do they serve to tear you down? What would someone learn about you if they read the book of their thoughts from that day? Are you reinforcing a negative narrative or celebrating your growth and resilience? You can choose the story you tell yourself and create a narrative that reflects your true potential.

809 | You Will Never Outrun Your Thoughts
In this episode, I share the transformative power of our thoughts and how they shape our lives. I start by sharing my experience of entering the year feeling slightly off and struggling to pinpoint the reasons behind my funk. It wasn't until I revisited a journaling practice that I began to uncover the layers of my thoughts and emotions. I emphasize the importance of allowing ourselves to express our thoughts freely without judgment or editing. This brain dump technique can lead to surprising revelations about our inner dialogue, often exposing feelings and beliefs we may not consciously recognize. I discuss how we cannot outrun our thoughts; we must confront and understand them to initiate healing and change. Your thoughts are not truths but rather old stories shaped by past experiences. I introduce the concept of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and how it teaches us that our thoughts create our reality. By shifting our inner dialogue, we can open ourselves up to new possibilities and opportunities right before us. HIGHLIGHTS 00:00:00 - Introduction to Thoughts and Their Impact 00:01:00 - The Power of Journaling 00:02:30 - Facing Your Thoughts 00:04:00 - The Role of Subconscious Beliefs 00:05:30 - Recognizing and Addressing Limiting Beliefs 00:07:00 - The Importance of Self-Compassion 00:08:30 - Shifting Your Mindset 00:10:00 - Interrupting Negative Thought Patterns 00:11:30 - Building New Beliefs 00:12:30 - Taking Ownership of Your Thoughts 00:14:00 - Conclusion: Rewriting Your Story Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Download “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in March 2025) Learn more about changing the Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program .

808 | Creating Safety Within Will Help to Manifest Your Dreams
As we kick off this short Friday episode, I introduce a tool that I wish I had understood much earlier in my journey. The key takeaway? To truly create results in your life, you must first feel it before you see it. I discuss the importance of cultivating a sense of safety within your body to hold the goals you desire. Many of my clients come in with big dreams, but when I ask them how it would feel if those dreams were realized today, they often express feelings of fear and unpreparedness. This reaction stems from the subconscious mind's primary job: to keep us safe. I emphasize that stepping outside of our comfort zones is essential for growth, but it can also trigger feelings of not feeling safe. In this episode, I share how dedicating just five minutes each morning and evening to visualize your goals as if they are already achieved. I encourage you to get specific about what you want and to immerse yourself in the feelings associated with that success. Instead of fixating on tangible outcomes, like a specific amount of money, I urge you to focus on the emotions those outcomes will evoke. By anchoring in gratitude and visualizing your goals, you can teach your body that it is safe to hold the success you desire. HIGHLIGHTS 00:00:00 - Introduction to Shifting Your Thinking 00:00:12 - The Importance of Feeling Your Goals 00:01:04 - Understanding Safety in Your Body 00:02:09 - Visualizing Your Goals 00:03:44 - Focusing on the Feelings Behind Goals 00:04:54 - Creating Safety and Familiarity 00:07:10 - Practicing Gratitude and Anchoring Feelings 00:08:36 - Stacking Wins and Attracting Opportunities 00:10:53 - Becoming the Version of Yourself Who Can Hold Your Goals Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Download “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in March 2025) Learn more about changing the Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program .

806 | The Power of Your Thoughts Through The Lens of NLP
In this episode, I am talking about the transformative potential of your thoughts. Through the lens of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), I share how our thoughts shape our reality. I stress the importance of managing your thoughts, as they directly influence your feelings, behaviours, and, ultimately, the results you achieve. I encourage listeners to identify their most persistent negative thoughts and to recognize that these thoughts are like seeds that can either nurture growth or hinder progress. I share practical strategies for catching and reframing negative thoughts. First, I discuss the significance of interrupting negative thought patterns without self-judgment. I suggest using neutral phrases to acknowledge these thoughts, which helps to diffuse their power. I explain the process of reframing, likening it to changing the lens on a camera to see situations from a different perspective. I encourage you to pick one limiting belief to work on, guiding you through noticing, interrupting, and reframing it until you feel like you can master it, and have control over it, so it no longer owns you.

I discuss the inevitability of losing people along the way and how this can create space for new relationships that align with our evolving journey.

As I recount my own experiences in the online space over the past 12 years, I highlight the significance of playing the long game and remaining anchored in our vision. I remind listeners that success may seem distant, but it is often just around the corner, and the journey is filled with invaluable lessons and growth.

803 | Navigating the Journey of Writing Your Book
I reflect on my own journey of writing my solo book, "When She Stopped Asking Why," which I began in 2016 and published in 2017. I share the challenges I faced, including the lack of support and the vulnerability of sharing my story while still living it. This experience led me to create the "Write Your Damn Book" mastermind, aimed at providing the support I wished I had during my writing process. Throughout the episode, I explore the common barriers that prevent aspiring authors from writing their books. Many people feel their stories aren't significant enough, are overwhelmed by the enormity of the task, or struggle with self-doubt and perfectionism. I emphasize that these feelings are universal among writers, regardless of background or experience. To help you overcome these obstacles, I discuss the importance of shifting your mindset and beliefs. Visualization techniques can be powerful tools in this process. I encourage you to imagine your readers holding your book, feeling seen and inspired by your story. By focusing on your "why" and recognizing that you are perfectly designed to help others who were once in your shoes, you can begin to dismantle the barriers holding you back.

802 | Your Growth Comes From Uncertainty
In this episode, I dive into the idea of certainty. It's common to look at others who seem to have it all figured out and believe they possess the confidence we lack. I challenge this notion by asserting that certainty is not something external that can be given to us; rather, it comes from within. I share my personal experience of writing my book during a chaotic time in my life, highlighting how I found certainty amidst uncertainty. Throughout the episode, I encourage you to embrace your feelings of uncertainty as a natural part of growth. I discuss how successful individuals often face challenges that are not visible to the outside world, and how they frame their experiences as opportunities for learning and growth. I emphasize that when we resist uncertainty, we risk stagnation, but by accepting it, we open ourselves up to new possibilities.

798 | From Dreams to Reality: How Scripting Can Transform Your Life

798 | From Dreams to Reality: How Scripting Can Transform Your Life
As we approach Christmas and the end of the year, I’m excited to dive into a topic that has been transformative in my life: scripting. This technique, which I began exploring about ten years ago, has evolved significantly for me over the years. Initially, I used colourful markers and creative writing to express what I wanted to change in my life, unaware of the deeper principles of NLP and subconscious programming that would later enhance my practice. In this episode, I reflect on my journey with scripting, starting from dissatisfaction in various aspects of my life—business, relationships, health, and income. I share how my first script, a vibrant 10-page document, helped me envision a new reality. I discussed the importance of regularly reading and listening to my scripts, as they initially felt foreign to me. Over time, I learned that our subconscious mind drives 95% of our results, which led me to incorporate subconscious reprogramming and NLP into my scripting practice. This year, I’m thrilled to announce a special scripting workshop masterclass, co-hosted with my dear friend Megan Weir, scheduled for December 30th. This "The Flow Zone Masterclass" masterclass will combine scripting with breathwork and embodiment practices to help participants align with their 2025 vision.

797 | The Heartbeat of My Business - Own Your Stage & Activate Your Voice
In this Heartbeat of My Business Podcast Series, I am thrilled to welcome my dear friend and strategic performance coach, Meghan Weir. Together, we dive deep into owning your stage and activating your voice. This is episode six of our series on The Heartbeat of My Business. We explore the profound connection between these concepts and how they can empower individuals to express themselves authentically, whether on social media, in public speaking, or everyday life. Meghan shares her journey, recounting a pivotal moment from her university days when she faced a public speaking challenge that left her feeling paralyzed. This experience led her to drop out of that class, but it also set the stage for her eventual transformation. Fast forward to today, and Meghan has not only embraced the online space but has also launched her podcast, she is writing her book, and is stepping into the role of a keynote speaker. Her evolution is a testament to the power of activating one's voice and overcoming subconscious beliefs that hold us back. As we discuss the importance of addressing these limiting beliefs, I emphasize the difference between conscious coaching and the deeper work we do to clear subconscious blocks. Meghan reflects on her journey of overcoming the belief that "nobody wants to hear what I have to say," and how this realization has allowed her to step into her power and share her message with confidence. Throughout the episode, we emphasize the significance of community and support in this journey. We introduce our upcoming HeartWired CEO Mastermind, a unique opportunity for individuals to join us in a year-long container designed to help them grow, expand, and ultimately take their stage. We invite listeners to connect with us, whether through our free networking space, Alliance, or by exploring the Mastermind. This episode is not just about public speaking; it's about finding your voice, owning your truth, and stepping into your power. We hope to inspire our listeners to embrace their unique stages and share their gifts with the world. Join us as we celebrate the journey of activation and empowerment! We announce our exciting new collaboration: the HeartWired CEO mastermind. This 12-month journey will blend both masculine and feminine energies, providing a supportive environment for entrepreneurs to thrive. We invite listeners to reach out with any questions and encourage them to join us in this transformative experience. See the HeartWired CEO Mastermind Trailer.

796 | Rewriting Your Stories to Change Your Life
I was recently a guest on a friend and client’s podcast, Renee Walker of the Spiritually Wired Podcast. Renee was an incredible host, and she asked so many great questions about rewriting stories and how NLP has supported me with this work. I knew I wanted to reshare the episode on this show, too. Be sure to tune in as Renée and Marsha chat all about the transformative work that can come from Neuro Linguistic Programming, also known as NLP, and demystifying what they are all about when it comes to breaking through the barriers of your unconscious mind and unhealthy thought patterns. Listen for more on: • There are misconceptions about what NLP does and doesn’t do. • Understanding the conscious vs. subconscious mind and why you must get to the root of your beliefs and desires. • Healing and NLP work is not a quick fix but requires time for constant healing and breaking patterns with practice. • Where Marsha’s commitment to helping other people become outspoken came from. • The healing and universal feelings found in sharing our stories. • Advice on where to start if you are feeling stuck and hopeless.
