838 | 55 Years of Growth, Healing & Expansion
In this special Friday episode of "Own Your Choices, Own Your Life," I take a moment to reflect on my recent milestone—turning 55 years old. As I celebrate this significant birthday, I want to share the lessons I've learned throughout my journey, particularly the transformative mindset shifts that have shaped my life and business. As I just turned 55, I share how this age feels like a new beginning. I discuss the decades I spent learning to drop my emotional armor, integrate my masculine and feminine energies, and heal old subconscious stories that held me back. This journey has been deeply personal and powerful, leading to significant growth in both my life and business. I emphasize the significance of identity shifts and the need to let go of old stories that no longer serve us. I share how my understanding of success has evolved, allowing me to build a business that honors my values of health and relationships. I also discuss the importance of integrating both masculine and feminine energies in my work, recognizing that true success comes from a balance of strategy and intuition HIGHLIGHTS 00:02:00 - Celebrating a Milestone Birthday 00:03:30 - Personal Journey of Growth and Healing 00:05:30 - The Power of Vulnerability 00:07:00 - Shifting Subconscious Stories 00:08:30 - Integrating Masculine and Feminine Energy 00:10:30 - The Ongoing Journey of Growth 00:12:00 - Chasing a Bigger Vision 00:13:30 - Empowering Others Through Sharing 00:14:30 - Letting Go of Old Stories 00:15:30 - Invitation to Join the Journey 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 .

836 | You Can Free Yourself from the Prison of Your Thoughts
In this episode, I explore a topic that resonates with many: the prison of our thoughts. Reflecting on my experiences, I aim to create a space for authenticity and vulnerability, sharing insights to help listeners navigate their mental landscapes. I begin by acknowledging the overwhelming nature of our thoughts and how they can sometimes feel like a cage, trapping us in limiting beliefs and fears. I encourage listeners to recognize that these thoughts do not define them; they are merely thoughts that can be changed. By understanding that we are not our thoughts, we can break down the mental barriers we've unconsciously built over time. HIGHLIGHTS 00:00:00 - Introduction: The Realness of Life 00:01:00 - The Prison of Your Thoughts 00:02:30 - Recognizing Your Thoughts as Separate from You 00:04:00 - Building Your Own Mental Cage 00:05:30 - The Role of NLP in Breaking Limitations 00:07:00 - Real-Life Examples of Overcoming Limiting Beliefs 00:09:00 - Common Limiting Thoughts and Their Impact 00:10:30 - The Illusion of the Locked Cage 00:12:00 - Interrupting Negative Thought Patterns 00:13:30 - Returning to Neutral and Saving Energy 00:15:00 - Choosing Empowering Beliefs 00:16:30 - The Power of Rewiring Your Subconscious Mind 00:17:30 - Reflecting on Personal Growth and Change 00:18:30 - Conclusion: The Key to Your Freedom 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 .

835 | The Truth About the In-Between Phases
In this episode, I explore identity and its crucial role in personal growth and transformation. I share that transitioning to a new identity can be uncomfortable and chaotic. It’s normal to feel like you’re in a state of flux, especially when you’re not quite who you used to be, nor fully who you’re becoming. I share my experiences of navigating this in-between phase, particularly in my journey toward publishing books. This process started as an idea and has required significant effort and adaptation. Throughout the episode, I highlight the importance of language and mindset. I discuss how our subconscious mind prefers familiarity and safety, often resisting change even when necessary for growth. This resistance can manifest as self-doubt and imposter syndrome, creating a tug-of-war between our past and future selves. HIGHLIGHTS 00:01:00 - The Athlete Mindset 00:02:00 - Navigating Identity Shifts 00:03:30 - The Chaos of Change 00:05:00 - The Importance of Language 00:06:30 - Familiarity vs. Growth 00:08:00 - The Tug of War 00:09:30 - Moving Houses Metaphor 00:10:30 - Reframing Discomfort 00:12:00 - Visualizing Your Future Self 00:13:30 - Recognizing Old Identities 00:15:00 - The In-Between Phase 00:16:30 - Commitment to Growth 00:18:00 - Invitation to Join Outspoken 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 .

833 | Clean Out the Closet of Your Limiting Beliefs
During a recent live podcast recording, we discussed limiting beliefs and how they can hold us back. I shared my belief that we should focus on building a relationship with them rather than trying to eliminate these beliefs. Our subconscious mind's primary job is to keep us safe, and often, it clings to outdated beliefs that no longer serve us. I likened this to cleaning out a cluttered closet filled with clothes we no longer wear—much like our minds can be filled with old thoughts and stories that don't represent who we are today. As we approach spring, I encouraged listeners to reflect on their "closets"—the beliefs and thoughts that take up mental space but no longer fit who they are. I emphasized the importance of recognizing these limiting beliefs, understanding their origins, and ultimately releasing them to make room for new, empowering beliefs that align with our current selves and future aspirations. HIGHLIGHTS 00:00:00 - Gratitude and Live Podcast Recording 00:01:00 - The Power of Analogies 00:02:25 - Building a Relationship with Limiting Beliefs 00:04:09 - Cleaning Out Your Mental Closet 00:06:05 - Why We Hold On to Old Beliefs 00:07:30 - The Fear of Success 00:09:05 - Identifying Limiting Beliefs 00:10:20 - Replacing Limiting Beliefs 00:11:34 - Creating Space for New Beliefs 00:12:39 - The Process of Purging 00:15:06 - Reflecting on Current Identity 00:16:20 - The Work We Do Together 00:17:44 - Invitation to Evolve 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 .

832 | The Story You Tell Yourself Is the Life You Live
In this episode, I dive deep into the powerful concept of the stories we tell ourselves and how they shape our reality. I begin by emphasizing that the narrative we create in our minds is the one that ultimately defines our lives. Our subconscious mind is highly responsive to these stories, and if we continuously tell ourselves that we are afraid or incapable, we reinforce those beliefs, leading to a cycle of negativity. I share insights inspired by Erwin McManus, particularly his idea that our fears are intertwined with our nightmares, while our possibilities are linked to our dreams. I highlight the ease of falling into negative emotions and the challenge of actively choosing to shift towards positivity. This shift requires effort and commitment, as it involves breaking patterns that have become automatic in our lives.

830 | Regulate Your Emotions, Elevate Your Business
In this episode, I share the topic of emotional regulation and its massiveimpact on entrepreneurship. As I reflect on the five-year anniversary of my transition from a 27-year career to the online business world, I share insights that I wish I had learned much earlier in my journey. Emotional regulation, along with nervous system regulation and subconscious reprogramming, is not just beneficial but essential for sustainable business growth. There’s a huge difference between reacting and responding to situations. I emphasize that reacting is often an impulsive outburst driven by external stimuli, while responding involves a conscious choice that conserves energy and establishes boundaries. Mastering emotional regulation can lead to less stress, more ease, and a greater impact in our businesses, and is something I wish I had been open to learning earlier in my entrepreneurial journey. HIGHLIGHTS 00:00:00 - Introduction to Emotional Regulation in Business 00:01:00 - The Importance of Emotional Regulation 00:02:30 - Reacting vs. Responding 00:04:00 - The Challenge of Negative Emotions 00:05:30 - Emotional Regulation as the Missing Link 00:07:00 - The Impact of Emotional Reactivity on Business 00:08:30 - NLP and Emotional Regulation 00:10:00 - Techniques for Interrupting Negative Patterns 00:11:30 - Building Emotional Stability for Business Success 00:13:00 - The Role of Self-Trust and Resilience 00:14:30 - Homework: Applying Emotional Regulation Techniques 00:15:00 - Conclusion and Encouragement 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 .

829 | Can You Feel It Before You Have It?
In this episode, I dive into a powerful question: "Can you feel it before you have it?" This inquiry transcends the realm of wealth and touches on various aspects of our lives, including confidence and abundance. Drawing from my personal experiences, I share a moment from a recent panel discussion on wealth, where I confronted my own feelings of lack amidst a challenging time, including the loss of my mother-in-law. I reflect on how wealth is often perceived solely in terms of money, yet I emphasize that true wealth encompasses much more. I challenge the audience to consider whether they can feel wealth even when their bank accounts don’t reflect it or when they face rejection and negativity. By anchoring ourselves in the feelings of wealth and abundance, we can train our brains to recognize and accept these emotions as part of our reality, even before they manifest in our lives. I share practical strategies for shifting our mindset from lack to abundance, including the practice of "stacking the wins" and anchoring positive feelings in our bodies. HIGHLIGHTS 00:00:00 - Introduction: Can You Feel It Before You Have It? 00:01:00 - Personal Experience with Wealth and Abundance 00:02:00 - The Importance of Mindset in Feeling Wealth 00:03:00 - The Disconnect Between Money and Feeling Wealthy 00:04:00 - Shifting from Lack to Abundance 00:05:00 - Stacking Wins: Anchoring Positive Feelings 00:06:00 - Acting as If: Embodying the Energy of Wealth 00:07:00 - Becoming the Proof: Transformational Mindset 00:08:00 - Conclusion: Training Your Brain for Abundance 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 .

828 | Resilience in Motion - Carrying the Flag at the Paralympics with Brianna Hennessy
In this episode, I had the honour of speaking with Brianna, a 2x Paralympian, a remarkable athlete who has made history as the first Canadian to do both the canoe and kayak events at the Paralympic games. She was the first to receive a medal in para-canoe and the flag bearer at the closing ceremonies in London in 2024. Brianna is a 12xs world medalist between 3 parasports. Brianna shares her journey from being an able-bodied athlete in various sports to navigating the challenges of life after a catastrophic accident that left her with a brain injury and physical disabilities. Brianna reflects on her recent experience at the Paralympics in Paris, where she earned a silver medal and was honoured to be a flag bearer for Canada. This recognition, she explains, was a culmination of her hard work and advocacy for people with disabilities, which she holds close to her heart. Throughout our conversation, Brianna shares her personal story of resilience, detailing the traumatic accident that changed her life ten years ago. She recounts the moments in the hospital, the struggle with depression, and the pivotal decision to embrace parasport as a means of reclaiming her identity and purpose. Her journey into parasport was sparked by watching wheelchair rugby players, which inspired her to take the leap and join a community that celebrates abilities rather than disabilities. Brianna emphasizes the significance of perspective and gratitude. She encourages listeners to focus on what they have rather than what they’ve lost, sharing her personal mottos that guide her through tough times. Her story is a testament to the power of the human spirit, resilience, and the importance of community support.

827 | Rewiring Your Patterns for Ease
In this episode, I share the concept of "anchors," a powerful technique from Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). Have you ever tried to push through resistance only to feel disconnected and unnatural? This struggle often stems from limiting beliefs and ingrained strategies that dictate our actions. Just like baking a cake requires a specific order of operations, so does our approach to personal growth. Anchoring allows us to evoke and harness positive emotions—such as confidence, gratitude, and joy—by consciously recalling specific experiences. However, we often anchor negative emotions without realizing it, creating patterns that can hinder our progress. For instance, a simple phone call about finances can trigger a visceral response, anchoring feelings of stress and overwhelm. In the episode, I share this client's transformation using Chaining Anchors. Not only did she feel lighter and more confident, but she also began to show up differently in her business, embracing opportunities she previously shied away from. HIGHLIGHTS 00:01:00 - Understanding Anchors 00:02:00 - The Power of Positive Anchoring 00:03:00 - Negative Anchors and Their Impact 00:04:00 - Chaining Anchors Technique 00:05:30 - Case Study: Overcoming Overwhelm 00:07:00 - The Subconscious Mind's Role 00:08:30 - Visible Transformation 00:10:00 - The Importance of Subconscious Work 00:11:30 - Outspoken Coaching Certification 00:13:00 - Cost of Not Rewiring Patterns 00:14:30 - Invitation to Engage 00:15:00 - Closing Thoughts and Gratitude 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 .

826 | Celebrating the Women Who Paved the Way
In this episode, I take a moment to reflect on the significance of International Women's Day, which is just around the corner. I share my personal journey of understanding and embracing this day, a realization that only came to me about a decade ago. The history of International Women's Day is rich and profound, and I emphasize the importance of women supporting one another—a theme that resonates deeply with me.

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.

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.

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. The six steps broken down in this episode are: 1. Reclaim Your Power to Focus Your Mind 2. Clarify What You Actually Want 3. Identify the Conscious and Subconscious Obstacles 4. Embed Your Intentions into Your Subconscious Mind 5. Pursue Goals Consistently 6.

811 | The Book You’re Writing Every Day

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

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.
