#73: “The Power of Ownership...What Does it Mean?" In this Monday Mindset Episode, I am talking about the power of ownership.  Ownership is truly the cornerstone for all of the changes in my own personal life. Learning how to own my own choices helped me let go of all the anger, hurt and resentment in my life.  Learning the power of ownership led to freedom in my life.  Freedom from the judgement of others, freedom from the shame of my story.  Learning to own my choices truthfully led me to owning my own life!! In this episode we talk about: 1. We all have stories, whether we borrow them from others, or we just accept that it’s the way our life has to be.  When we accept it as our story, we let it limit and control what we do in our lives.  We miss opportunities because we don’t see them when we are hiding in our stories. Owning our stories is the first step to changing them. 2. If you don’t OWN your story, it OWNS you!! 3. If your story gives you feelings of guilt or shame, then you owe it to yourself and to others in your life to learn how to stand ON it and not IN it!  You deserve to find the FREEDOM from learning to OWN your story! 4. When we are taking responsibility for everyone else’s behaviour, choices and trying to fix, manage or control everyone else’s behaviour, we are putting our most valuable resource of our energy into things that won’t create any change in our lives.  We must put that energy into ourselves, and into creating change in our own lives.  Being the change, we wish to see in this world is how we can create change in the lives of others. 5. Learning how to unwrap or unpack our stories helps us to see all the details. This helps us to take the birds eye view and embrace the lessons we learned, to see our role in the story, to see our gifts and to see how we can make a difference for others.  Someone is praying for a solution and you have the answers. 6. Tap into the energy, the emotions, and the feelings and that allows you to connect to others.  It allows for others to see you as you truly are.  No more hiding. 7. Ownership is the first step to creating change in your life.  It all starts with owning your choices first!

#71: “What is Your Anger Costing You? " In this Monday Mindset Episode, I am talking about the anger we hold onto and how it is impacting all areas of our lives. It is actually costing us more than we could ever imagine.  It is robbing us of opportunities.  It is affecting our energy and attracting more of what we DON’T want in our lives.   Today I am sharing some tips in my own personal perspective of the impact of anger in our lives! In this episode we talk about:  1. The weight of anger, and how long we decide to carry it determines the impact it has in our lives.  2. Why we are carrying it, what it is doing to us and how it is holding us back from living the lives we are here to live.  3. Anger is such a low vibe emotion and it only attracts more of what we don’t want in our lives.  4. Who is the anger hurting, who is it not serving and why are we carrying it?  5. Every day we have opportunities to react, respond and choose our emotions.  Life is going to happen to us every single day and we can choose how we respond to what life is throwing at us.  Our choices affect everything. Learning to shift our perspective can shift everything.  6. Taking radical responsibility for our choices, our actions, and our reactions can truly make a bigger impact in our lives than we could ever imagine! 7. It can all change when we decide to let go of what is no longer serving us!

#70: “What Holds Us, Molds Us with Sue Ruhe" Today we chat with Sue Ruhe --  RMT & Cellular Coach Sue is a Registered Massage Therapist of 11 years, focusing primarily on Myofascial Release Therapy (where oils and lotions are not used during treatment). Working with abdominal fascia is her Jam! It's amazing how much anxiety, trauma and stress we hold in that area, which ultimately progresses into pain throughout our entire bodies. She believes that finding and addressing the root cause of pain, is the key to preventing future health issues and avoiding unnecessary medications. She is a wife and a mother of a brilliant 7 year old girl, Avalina, who has faced her own health issues this year. Because of this, along with renovating an entire house, Sue has taken a break from the clinic she's worked at for over a decade, to focus on other projects and to become more of a freelance therapist. She has created the Love Your Cells Podcast, is currently writing in 2 co-author book projects and in the beginning stages of her own publication. Sue wants to teach the world about Fascia by bringing more of an understanding to the masses.  In this episode we talk about:  1. Our bodies hold onto trauma in ways we can’t even imagine.  Everything we “bury” deep within ourselves will eventually find a way to fester and have an adverse affect on our body.  2. Fascia wants to protect us, whereas scar tissue doesn’t have the same function as healthy tissue.  Scar tissue should not be ignored as we can hold a lot of energy in this tissue that isn’t serving us. 3. Take time to get to the source of the issue rather than masking, avoiding or numbing the symptoms.  Our fascia system is very powerful and working with it to create alignment in our bodies can help people to reduce pain and anxiety at the cellular level.  4. Learning to love ourselves right down to the cellular level can have an incredible impact on our spiritual, mental and emotional states.  5. Abdominal fascia  6. Trust and tune into your intuition, it is constantly guiding you on the right path.  Connect with Sue Ruhe: Visit Sue’s website to connect. https://www.loveyourcells.ca Email:  [email protected] On Instagram:  http://www.instagram.com/suruhe On Facebook:  http://www.facebook.com/susan.ruhe Connect with Marsha: Book your interview for the Collaborative book & Mastermind Opportunity https://calendly.com/mvanwyn761/30min Book your Discovery Call: https://calendly.com/mvanwyn761 Check out my website -  https://www.marshavanw.com/ Join the Facebook Group for our Collaborative Book Project https://www.facebook.com/groups/2484404824955092/ Connect on Facebook -- https://www.facebook.com.marshavanwynsberghe Connect on Instagram --  https://www.instagram.com/marshavanw/ About me –  Marsha Vanwynsberghe — Author, Speaker and Life Coach  Marsha is the 6-time Bestselling Author of “When She Stopped Asking Why”.  She shares her lessons as a parent who dealt with teen substance abuse far past the level of normal experimentation.

#69: Trusting the Process When Life Doesn't Make Sense" In this Monday Mindset Episode, I am talking about how to find a way to trust the process when life doesn’t make sense.   When we are in the midst of challenges piled on challenges, it’s easy to get stuck in the “why questions”, the overwhelm and the frustrations.  Others tell us to “trust the process and have faith”, yet it can feel almost impossible when we are in the thick of it.  I have been and, on some level, continue to be challenged to put my lessons into practice in my life.  Today I am sharing 6 tips that I find helpful while life just doesn’t seem to make sense! In this episode we talk about:  1. Stop asking the questions that start with WHY. The word why is a victim word and it keeps us stuck in our stories.  We must shift our questions to the word “what”, as that is an action word that keeps us in motion focusing on what we can control, change or fix within ourselves.  2. Ask the universe, “what is this trying to teach me?”  We are forever learning lessons in our lives and what if this is here to help you with a lesson that you have yet to embody.  We can learn all the lessons, read the books and listen to the podcasts, yet until we embody our lessons and put them into practice, we truly aren’t using them yet.  That is when we learn.  3. Create a mantra to say to yourself, to ground yourself and keep you focused on what you can control! 4. Ask for help, don’t do it alone, stop hiding, and stop feeding the shame.  This never works and only keeps us stuck in our shame.  Creating your tribe is another podcast episode topic, for now reach out to ask for help and support with people who deserve to hear your story. It is not weakness.  Vulnerability is an act of courage.   5. Time block your schedule to match energy with energy.  The more we can keep ourselves grounded daily, focused on our “wheelhouse”, or area of expertise, matching energy in with energy out, the bigger the difference it can make in our own lives, especially during moments chaos! 6. Surrender, surrender, surrender.  Letting go of what you cannot control is a sign of strength and will truly be the most freeing feeling you can imagine!

#67: "We Never Have It All Figured Out" In this Monday Mindset Episode, I am debunking a common myth or misconception.   After interviewing almost 45+ women for the Collaborative Book, there have been some very common misconceptions or thoughts from others that I felt called to address to hopefully stop the stories we keep telling ourselves.  The women who have stepped forward to share their chapter in the collaborative book, or even to the people who are sharing their stories publicly in the world do not have it all figured out.  Believing that everyone else has it figured out limits what you believe you can do, especially when you hit the wall, which you WILL hit!! We are ALL a work in progress, and we are literally growing every single day.  If we are growing and changing every single day, how can we possibly have it all figured out?! In this episode we talk about:  1. When we compare ourselves to others and believe that we can’t do x,y,z, because we don’t have what someone else has, we are not staying focused or true to our journey.  We are allowing our thoughts and energy to be on someone else’s journey and that will never create change in our lives.  2. We are ALL a work in progress every single day! 3. We are responsible for building, growing and expanding our own toolbox. Our toolbox is a collection of all of the experiences, lessons and things that we have learned in our lifetime.  It is our responsibility to grow our toolbox, no one else’s.   4. We are not our stories.  We are not our mistakes.  Our stories make us who we are, but we are not our stories.  We are a result of what we choose to do with what we are given.  That is all on us! 5. The people who are showing up in life, sharing their stories in this collaborative book or who are showing up online or in their lives sharing their stories, are not through their challenges.  Some of them are truly living in the thick of it every single day! They have built a better toolbox to deal with their lives and they use the lessons they’ve learned on their journey.   6. It’s time for you to stop over planning, stop comparing, stop believing the BS stories that you don’t have what it takes to do whatever you want to do in your life.  You absolutely do!!  You are always only one decision away from a completely different life!!

#66: “When the Universe Gives You a Bitch Slap with Annette Smith" Today we chat with Entrepreneur and Boss Babe, Annette Smith. Annette is a passionate wellness advocate after enduring a severe grand mal seizure caused by extreme stress and exhaustion. She then went on a mission to detoxify her life as much as possible.

Annette makes by hand completely all natural cosmetics: tinted lip balm, eyelash growth elixir, brow balm, lip plump, solid perfume salves.  This was an incredible episode as we dove into how our body is constantly sending us signs when things aren’t working, and sometimes it takes pushing past the signs before we are forced to make different decisions to better our health.   In this episode we talk about: 1. Learn to slow down, listen, tune into the messages your body is giving you before they become screams and serious health issues.  2. The fear is always there.  Learn to feel the fear and do it anyways.  Follow through with the ideas and goals on your heart.  3. All the ingredients that we put into our body, on our bodies, including the people in our life affect us and can impact us. All of it! 4. Take radical action with your ideas, they’ve come to you for a reason! 5. Entrepreneurship is a slippery slope and steep learning curve, learn to block off time for yourself.  Life isn’t meant to be only about the work.  6.

#65: "When Our Strengths Become Our Weaknesses" In this Monday Mindset Episode, I am sharing one of the most impactful life lessons I have ever learned.  Our strengths will take us so far in our lives. They will help us to overcome challenges, achieve our goals and help us to persist when we hit roadblocks.  There comes a point in our lives when doing the same thing won’t yield different results and we have to learn a new way of living.  For most of us, it takes years, a lifetime or never to embrace this lesson.  It requires us to accept that we don’t have the answer and be open to receiving new answers.  This is a growth shift that is necessary for us to create change in our lives. Today I am sharing 5 steps I had to go through to shift my thinking to survive one of the darkest times in my life, and that led me actually thriving in my life.  It literally changed everything and I know it can make a massive difference in your life too! In this episode we talk about:  1. Make a list of all of your current strengths. Don’t edit, censor or limit yourself. If you really don’t know, ask a friend or someone who knows you well.  2. Write down all of the things that your strengths have helped you to overcome.  How did your strengths save you and help you to overcome all of the challenges in your life? 3. Write down where you are stuck in your life? What problem or situation are you repeating and how long have you been trying to create change or results in this area?  Is it working?  How much longer will you stay on this path?   4. How could you look at your approach or this situation differently?  How can you shift your perspective? How can you ask for help, try something new or admit that maybe you don’t have the answers?  What if someone else has the answers you are searching for?  Are you open to receiving them?  5. What if it is a completely different approach that will create the change you are looking for?  What if your healing process is on the other side of this one shift?  Connect with Marsha: Book your interview for the Collaborative book & Mastermind Opportunity https://calendly.com/mvanwyn761/30min Book your Discovery Call: https://calendly.com/mvanwyn761 Check out my website -  https://www.marshavanw.com/ Join the Facebook Group for our Collaborative Book Project https://www.facebook.com/groups/2484404824955092/ Connect on Facebook -- https://www.facebook.com.marshavanwynsberghe Connect on Instagram --  https://www.instagram.com/marshavanw/ About me –  Marsha Vanwynsberghe — Author, Speaker and Life Coach  Marsha is the 6-time Bestselling Author of “When She Stopped Asking Why”.  She shares her lessons as a parent who dealt with teen substance abuse far past the level of normal experimentation.

#64: “Your Mess is Your Message with Krista Kokot" Today we chat with Life Coach and Speaker, Krista Kokot.   Krista is a Life coach for women helping them stop the cycle of people pleasing so they can live the life they truly desire. Krista believes that every woman needs someone to truly see her and help her to be heard. She believes we all have a unique purpose on earth and provides gentle, no-nonsense coaching to help each of her clients acknowledge and own their past, thrive in the present moment moving forward, knowing that the future is waiting for them to shine their unique light in this world. This was an incredible episode as we dove into how pain is our biggest motivator and how it is our responsibility to do the healing work so our traumas don’t dictate what we can accomplish in our lives.   In this episode we talk about: 1. Pain and our past experiences can be our biggest motivator if we choose to learn from it and let it guide us to how we choose to live.   2. Hurt people do hurt people.  It is our responsibility to work through our stories with no judgement or criticism of ourselves.  The more we do the internal work the more we can stop hiding and impact others.  3. Learning how to unpack your emotions is so important. Listen to the cues and what your body is trying to tell you about the process and how it feels.  Don’t judge it, listen to what it is telling you.  4. Healing the deep pain is not easy work.  Forgiveness is not easy work yet it is the only way we can learn to share our story.  5. Always speak from a place of love and not resentment and anger.  Everyone is truly doing the best they can with the information they have at the time.  6. Recognize the tools that work to keep you in a positive, healthy headspace and do whatever you can to have those things in your life on a daily basis.   Connect with Krista Kokot On Instragram: https://instagram.com/KristaK_Lifecoach On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kkcoaching4life Website:  https://www.kristakokot.com Email:  [email protected] Connect with Marsha: Join the Facebook Group for our Collaborative Book Project https://www.facebook.com/groups/2484404824955092/ Book your interview for the Collaborative book & Mastermind Opportunity https://calendly.com/mvanwyn761/30min Book your Discovery Call: https://calendly.com/mvanwyn761 Check out my website -  https://www.marshavanw.com/ Connect on Facebook -- https://www.facebook.com.marshavanwynsberghe Connect on Instagram --  https://www.instagram.com/marshavanw/ About me –  Marsha Vanwynsberghe — Author, Speaker and Life Coach  Marsha is the 6-time Bestselling Author of “When She Stopped Asking Why”.  She shares her lessons as a parent who dealt with teen substance abuse far past the level of normal experimentation.

#63: "Finding Purpose in Your Story" In this Monday Mindset Episode, we talk about finding our purpose and how to find our purpose in our stories.  Finding our purpose in life can feel likes a ton of pressure as though it is this massive thing to uncover.  Our purpose is meant to be simple, easy, what lights us up, what fuels us and what feels in alignment.  I believe our purpose is also wrapped up in our gifts, talents and abilities and what we choose to do with it is ultimately our choice.  I also dive into the 7 steps to uncover our purpose from our stories.  In this episode we talk about:  1. Identifying your purpose by recognizing what feeds your energy, what fuels you, lights you up and feels easy or in alignment.   2. The belief that we all have a purpose.  It all starts here because if we don’t feel we have one that we won’t even be able to see our potential purpose.  3. Breaking down our core values, what is important to us, what is part of us, and the 5 – 6 values that become the basis of all of our decisions.  4. The process of writing out your whole story, as far back as you can recall and as much detail as you can remember.  When we do this a pattern will start to emerge and you will be able to identify a pattern that you have repeatedly found yourself in in your life.  5. What are the lessons you learned during these challenges, or these patterns you repeated?  There were consistently things that you had to learn, grow through, adapt and take on in order to work through your situations.  What were they?  6. Where in your story did you feel the most aligned? Where did you feel the most confident, calm, and convicted with your purpose and your path? Do these lessons line up with your values?  7. Are you living in that purpose now?  Are you living in it in any area of your life? If not, how aligned do you feel in your current life right now? 8. What are you willing to do about it?  We all have our gifts, talents and abilities. What we choose to do with them is completely up to us!  What do you choose?  Connect with Marsha: Book your interview for the Collaborative book & Mastermind Opportunity https://calendly.com/mvanwyn761/30min Book your Discovery Call: https://calendly.com/mvanwyn761 Check out my website -  https://www.marshavanw.com/ Join the Facebook Group for our Collaborative Book Project https://www.facebook.com/groups/2484404824955092/ Connect on Facebook -- https://www.facebook.com.marshavanwynsberghe Connect on Instagram --  https://www.instagram.com/marshavanw/ About me –  Marsha Vanwynsberghe — Author, Speaker and Life Coach  Marsha is the 6-time Bestselling Author of “When She Stopped Asking Why”.  She shares her lessons as a parent who dealt with teen substance abuse far past the level of normal experimentation.

#62: “It All Starts with Ownership with Megan Harmony " Today we chat with Soul Coach and Inspirational Speaker, Megan Harmony.   Megan is the founder and visionary behind Soulful Sobriety, it's not just a community it's a lifestyle. Megan has overcome many painful and difficult life circumstances and wholeheartedly advocates that it is possible to rise above it while remaining sober and finding reasons to have hope. Her lived experience as well as practical nurse and addiction careworker diplomas make her uniquely qualified to support people through their most trying times. She believes that love is a universal language that everyone understands and devotes her life to spreading it everywhere she goes. She will ignite the flame in your soul when you feel it has flickered out and reminds others of the power within them. She knows there is a spiritual solution to any situation and we need only connect to our soul to find it. Megan is a cheerleader to all and can be found saying "You are beautiful, You are worth it, you deserve an amazing life, and I love you" when people need a boost. The light within her sees the light in everyone she meets. This was an incredible episode as we dove into how pain is our biggest motivator and how being a victim does not serve us or create any change in our lives.  In this episode we talk about: 1. Pain can be our biggest motivator if we choose to learn from it and let it guide us to how we choose to live.  We don’t have to live in pain, staying there is a choice.  2. Living in a victim state or victim mentality doesn’t serve us and it never helps us to create change in our lives.  3. All change in our lives starts with taking full ownership and radical responsibility of our choices.  4. The power of the tools to stay on track daily, such as prayer, meditation, journaling and gratitude.  5. Find your tribe who will help you to succeed to be the best version of yourself.  If you don’t have them now, look for them and create that tribe.  We all need that support and we aren’t meant to do it alone.  6. Let go of the resentment, the anger, the what if’s, the comparison and judgements.  None of it serves your higher self and it all holds the energy to keep us stuck.  7. We have to ask for what we need.  When we need help to work through a problem, a challenge or a situation, there are times when we must surrender and ask for help.  Connect with Megan Harmony On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MeganHarmonyTLC/ On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/soulful_sobriety/ Email:  [email protected] Connect with Marsha: Join the Facebook Group for our Collaborative Book Project https://www.facebook.com/groups/2484404824955092/ Book your interview for the Collaborative book & Mastermind Opportunity https://calendly.com/mvanwyn761/30min Book your Discovery Call: https://calendly.com/mvanwyn761 Check out my website -  https://www.marshavanw.com/ Connect on Facebook -- https://www.facebook.com.marshavanwynsberghe Connect on Instagram --  https://www.instagram.com/marshavanw/

#61: "7 Steps to Shifting Your Story" In this Monday Mindset Episode we talk about the steps to shifting your story.  Our stories have power and we decide how much power those stories have in our lives.  It may seem obvious that we have to create a shift in the story, but it can feel overwhelming with where to even start.  Our story has whatever meaning we give to it, if we want it to have different meaning, it is up to us to change it. Today I share the 7 steps I have used regularly to shift my perspective in the story which ultimately shifts the power back to me.  After 5 weeks of discovery calls with people on how to own, share and write their stories, these were the top points I put together after helping so many women with their stories.   In this episode we talk about:  1. The point of decision.  Nothing happens without deciding that we want something differently in our lives.  It is up to us to decide what we do or don’t want in our lives.  2. The power of learning to ask different questions. Stop asking the why, victim questions, and focus on the what am I going to do with this.  Learn to ask how can I be more resilient?  What am I missing?  How can I ask for help?  Changing our questions, changes how we think about our circumstances.  3. Being brave with our lives.  As Brene Brown says, “Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing we will ever do.”  Being brave with our lives, helps us to build our courage and this happens whenever we get in to action.  Action shifts everything! 4. Be willing to learn from others.  We can learn from the journey of others, from their wins, their mistakes, how they overcame their struggles and it gives us ideas and hope for what we can do in our own lives and for what is possible.  5. Self-compassion is a must.  Self compassion is learning to honour our journey, believing that we are enough as this gives us the courage to be our true authentic, imperfect and vulnerable selves.  6. Giving ourselves grace for doing the best that we could under the circumstances.  If we can make the best decision with the information that we have at that time, that is honouring our process.  7. Start somewhere, literally.  Journal, write, speak, get it out of your head, and help to shift the power of your story in your life.  It is all possible!

#60: “Throw the Masks Away & Go After What You Want Most in Life with Ana Jaén" Today we chat with Life Coach, Ana Jaén. Ana is a Life Coach and founder at Masks Off, a project to guide people through the process of taking their masks off (fears, doubts & insecurities) so they have clarity and go after what is truly important to them. Ana does this through 1:1 coaching, workshops and conferences.  Her goal is to grow Masks Off into a multifaceted and international platform to help inspire people from all over the world, to live a more intentional, passionate, authentic and joyful life...one step, one mask at a time.  Ana believes there is amazingness in each one of us and when we embrace what makes us unique and speak our voice out, incredible things happen!! In this episode we talk about: 1. Why we choose to wear a mask and how we can change everything in our lives by learning to let go of the mask.  2. The power of letting ourselves feel emotions instead of avoiding or numbing them. This creates no change in our lives.  We must feel them in order to change anything.  3. We must truly know ourselves, acknowledge what is or isn’t working in our lives and course correct and change what needs changing in order to live the life we deserve to live.  4. To trust our intuition requires silence and the space to freely listen.  Our intuition is always talking to us.  The more we listen the louder the voice becomes.  5. How important it is to change the language and the words we use to speak to ourselves. There is tremendous power in our words.  6. To change anything in our lives requires that we stop blaming others for where our life is at and focus on the gratitude of the present moment.  7. In order for us to show up authentically in our lives we must endure some shadows.  It is work, yet it is so worth it!

#59: "Stop Snowballing Your Fears" In this Monday Mindset Episode we talk about how easy it is to snowball our fears. We feed them, we let them gain momentum and before we know it they’re driving the wheel.  We are responsible for that snowball effect.  When we find ways to shift from fear to faith we can recognize the snowball, slow it down and stop it all together. We cannot feed our fears and faith at the same time, we must choose one over the other.  This goes for anything in our lives.  Today I will relate it to the fears we experience when sharing our stories.  Today I share the top questions I am asked about our the fears surrounding sharing our stories.  I am asked these questions on a consistent basis In this episode we talk about:  1. The fears around not being a great writer, speaker, coach, communicator, or whatever BS story you are telling yourself.  This all changes with messy, imperfect action.  2. What will people think of me for sharing my story? What people!?! Tune in for my response.  3. Will people judge me for sharing my story? Guess what my answer is?! 4. What if I don’t feel that my story is special or important enough? Our stories all matter because we all matter.  Everyone has something to contribute, share and give in this world and our stories create who we are.  They make a massive impact in our lives and the sooner we acknowledge that, the sooner we can be on the path to being “free” from the weight of our stories.  5. What to do when you really want to share your story, but you can’t stop feeding the fears?  6. Learn to stand ON your story instead of IN it. The reason why it feels like your story doesn’t matter is because you are continuing to live in it.  When we live in it, we are on a repeat cycle of frustration, comparison, resentment, anger and victimhood.  No change comes from this cycle.   7. The power of becoming a pillar of hope for someone else!

#57: "Your Story Matters" In this Monday Mindset Episode we talk about how all of our stories matter. When we are going through difficult times we tend to retreat from the world and hide.  It is our way of avoiding being hurt, judged, criticized or even being seen.  The problem is that living this way provides no solutions and definitely no changes!   Today I share the tops reasons why our stories all matter.  When we acknowledge that our stories, experiences and lessons are the make-up of who we are and who we are becoming, we truly can find and create freedom in our lives.  In this episode we talk about:  1. Our stories all matter because we all matter. Everyone has something to contribute, share and give in this world and our stories create who we are.  They make a massive impact in our lives and the sooner we acknowledge that, the sooner we can be on the path to being “free” from the weight of our stories.  2. Learn to stand ON your story instead of IN it. The reason why it feels like your story doesn’t matter is because you are continuing to live in it.  When we live in it, we are on a repeat cycle of frustration, comparison, resentment, anger and victimhood.  No change comes from this cycle.   3. Our stories connect us, remind us that we are human and not alone.  We all crave human connection, and we are connected by our stories, our pain and our emotions.  We are more alike that different and when we stop giving our stories so much power we actually take back that power to help ourselves feel stronger.   4. What is the purpose or reason for your story? How is it nudging you to become the person you were meant to become? Finding a purpose in our stories, realizing that it is not all about us anymore can truly create a massive shift in our healing and in our energy! 5. Recall a time when you were searching for a solution to a problem and you came across a Facebook group or an online group and realized that there were so many other people struggling with the same thing.  When we realize that we are not alone is when we stop judging ourselves for how we have handled our story.  This small shift, realizing we are not alone can truly change everything.

The power of our following joy and letting it be the compass to shift our energy and help us deal with loss in our lives.  2. Our inner voice/intuition is always speaking to us, helping to guide us through difficult times, we must learn to honour and listen to that voice.  3. Gratitude is the most powerful energy to shift our energy especially when we find ourselves in the space of “it is not fair”.  4. When the energy becomes stagnant and we feel stuck, first acknowledge the emotions. Then recognize that there is tremendous power in shifting our energy by moving our bodies and following what brings us joy.  We can shift our energy and change our state.  5.

#55: "The Shortcuts to Success" In this Monday Mindset Episode we talk about the shortcut to success.  Coming off the early bird launch of my Collaborative Book program last week, left me so grateful and excited, and truthfully with an empty tank.  As we push towards deadlines and goals, it is so important to increase our self-care plan. It actually requires MORE self-care as we strive towards our goals, and for some reason that is when we actually do less self-care.  We tend to continue on that track until we feel like we are going to implode!   If you find yourself on a perpetual cycle of give, give, give and your cup is bone dry, then this episode is for you!! Today I share the tops tips I focus on when I am feeling burnt out and how I ground myself to get back on track, and fill my cup to overflow.  In this episode we talk about:  1. Learning to listen to the signs, the whispers our body gives us before it starts screaming at us.  2. Turn off technology, set your timers, and stop incessantly scrolling.  That only throws us into comparison and doesn’t serve us or the life we are working to create.  3. Ask yourself what is missing, literally ask your body, mind what it needs?  Does it need nature, rest, water, yoga, time with a friend, or time alone? Ask the question and be prepared for an answer.  We always know the answers.  4. Set clearer intentions at the beginning of the week.  I don’t set goals, I set intentions.  It is not a to do list.  It is an intention list, that includes my health, fitness, nutrition, spirituality, short term and long-term goal planning etc.  Then everything goes into my google calendar, colour coded before I start the week.  5. Cut yourself some slack, Seriously! Self-compassion is an absolute MUST!  I talk about how hopelessness feeds into powerlessness and how to break that cycle! 6. Rest, water, nature, mediation, journaling, doing nothing or doing whatever you need to do to fill your cup to overflow, do that and do more of it!

#54: “The Price of Perfection – How New Moms are Set up to Fail with Amanda Ingram" Today we chat with Amanda Ingram.  Amanda is the Glow Igniter and owner of Embrace & Glow. She has seen and experienced first-hand how new moms are made to feel bad about their bodies after having their babies. In fact, research shows that 60% of women wish they had their pre baby bodies back, bodies that don't even exist anymore. Her mission is to help them embrace their new bodies and Ignite their Momma Glow creating a world where millions of women are celebrating how powerful they are and redefining how we speak about postpartum bodies. “After having my first child I felt an immense pressure to listen to all of the messages I was receiving telling me bounce back and do it all. I punished my body through intense exercise all in the attempt to look as though I had never had a baby, to fit into society's ideals. I instead ended up stressed out and discovering I had not one but two prolapses. It was a huge blow. But it was also a gift. I discovered that there was a different way to view my body that the changes it went through were ones that should be celebrated, that I was powerful for having my baby not weak because of it. With my second pregnancy I honoured the time I needed to recover. I took the time to get to know the woman and mother I had become and build a strong foundation of body and mind. I now share what I learned with others mother in the hopes that no one feels the way I did again.” Amanda offers an online program called, “Ignite Your Mamma Glow”, that helps mothers go from feeling lost to limitless. Amanda also offers a Facebook community called, “Ignite Your Momma Glow” and she offers 30 minute “Grow You Glow” Coaching Calls.  In this episode we talk about: 1. How we physically look is not equal to self-worth and self-worth is a completely different thing.   2. A lot can change when we stop owning the limiting beliefs of others.  We can learn to build contrary evidence to change our limiting beliefs.  3. When we are setting goals without addressing the mindset piece, we do not set ourselves up for success.  All goals should be set for us and not for others.  4. Self-compassion is one of Amanda’s greatest lessons and she teaches this as a priority for her clients especially as new mom’s.  5. Post baby it is important to recognize what our body has just accomplished instead of punishing it for not being where we think it should be by a certain time frame.  6. The mask of perfectionism and how it is impossible to maintain.  7. What we tend to believe is our weakness often ends up being our superpower!  Connect with Amanda Ingram Email: [email protected] Website:  https://www.embraceandglow.com On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/embraceandglow On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/embraceandglow Connect with Marsha: Book your Discovery Call: https://calendly.com/mvanwyn761 Check out my website -  https://www.marshavanw.com/ Connect on Facebook -- https://www.facebook.com.marshavanwynsberghe Connect on Instagram --  https://www.instagram.com/marshavanw/ About Marsha –  Marsha Vanwynsberghe — Author, Speaker and Life Coach  Marsha is the 6-time Bestselling Author of “When She Stopped Asking Why”.  She shares her lessons as a parent who dealt with teen substance abuse far past the level of normal experimentation.

#53: "The Journey of Sharing My Story" In this Monday Mindset episode we talk about the my journey of sharing my story. Many people see me today and assume it has been easy.  I wasn’t vocal about my struggles during the early years.  I didn’t share the challenges, the pain or emotions.  I was carrying a shield that made it impossible to feel or share my feelings.  I wasn’t ready to be vulnerable.   Today I share the feelings before and after I learned to share my story.  I share insight into the emotions and how hard that growth journey was and still can be in the present day.  It is never as easy as it looks on the outside.  I hope you find the freedom from owning and sharing your story.  You won’t believe the weight of it, until you decide to let it go. My wish is to help you to learn to stop standing in your story and learn to stand on it.  In this episode we talk about:  1. My life before I decided to share my story. All of the emotions, pain, heartache I was experiencing.  2. How I shared my story one of the very first times live on CBC Radio and how my life changed almost instantly.  3. The immediate relief of learning that I was not alone and how this created a fuel inside of me to believe my purpose was to continue to share my story to help others.  4. How I changed myself and this changed how I handled my story, without changing our story.  5. The freedom I never anticipated finding.  6. The motivation to continue to teach others the power of owning their stories in their lives.  7. Taking this motivation one step further by teaching others how to share their stories and build a business to continue to impact others.  This is a massive ripple effect that I am grateful to be a part of!

#52: “Self-Worth is Your Super Power" Today we chat with Cassie Jeans.  Cassie is a dedicated leader for women who want to fully embrace all aspects of their soul and take full ownership of their life.

Cassie’s freebie - How to Claim Your self-worth Video and Workbook series: http://bit.ly/selfworthisyoursuperpower This was an incredibly powerful episode, truly one of my favourites as Cassie spoke into my soul! In this episode we talk about: 1. Any transformation is possible when we believe in ourselves and our own self-worth of deserving the transformation.  2. The power of our language in changing our belief systems.  3. Consciously choosing the energy (people, places, situations and circumstances) that we surround ourselves with as this will impact how we show up in the world.  4. Our intuition is always guiding us, we must make space to listen and learn to trust it.  5. Being grateful for our challenges and experiences as they shape us into who we are meant to become.   6. The freedom of vulnerability and showing up as our true selves.  That is how we impact and light the way for others.  7. Gratitude is the most important ingredient for creating the possible shifts in our lives.

#51: "You Cannot Give What You Do Not Have" In this Monday Mindset episode we talk about the fact that you cannot give what you do not have.  When your cup is completely dry, and you self-care game is lacking because life keeps throwing you massive challenges, it is time to break the cycle.  It is the time to stop pushing and doing the do, and time to slow down and create space to allow grace, self-compassion, self-love, self-care, forgiveness and so much more to become the top priority.  We cannot give what we do not have!  In this episode we talk about:  1. Our stories happen to us for a reason, giving a purpose (instead of asking why) to our stories can be very healing for our journey.  2. Recognizing that we are done, we have no more to give to others.  Instead of pushing to complete breakdown it is necessary to break the cycle and stop.  3. Shifting our words, perspective, language and thoughts can reframe what is happening to us.  4. Feel the feelings and emotions, if you need to cry, then cry.  Numbing and blocking the feelings only delays the healing and gives power to the emotions instead of back to us! 5. Only when we learn to give to ourselves first can we truly give to others.  6. Focus on controlling what we can control, our responses, reactions, and our actions are all our choices. 7. The incredible opportunity to share our stories in the upcoming collaborative book and mastermind launching the first week of June.  Connect with Marsha: Book your interview for the Collaborative book & Mastermind Opportunity https://calendly.com/mvanwyn761/30min Book your Discovery Call: https://calendly.com/mvanwyn761 Check out my website -  https://www.marshavanw.com/ Connect on Facebook -- https://www.facebook.com.marshavanwynsberghe Connect on Instagram --  https://www.instagram.com/marshavanw/ About me –  Marsha Vanwynsberghe — Author, Speaker and Life Coach  Marsha is the 6-time Bestselling Author of “When She Stopped Asking Why”.  She shares her lessons as a parent who dealt with teen substance abuse far past the level of normal experimentation.

#50: “All That Glitters is Not Gold with Leanne Townsend" Today we chat with Leanne Townsend.  Leanne is a Family Lawyer & Divorce Coach. Leanne provides legal and coaching support for all stages of the divorce process (pre-divorce, management and recovery post-divorce).   She is regularly interviewed in the media and has been featured in Lawyer’s Daily, Divorce Magazine, Daring Woman Magazine, and she has been a guest expert on a number of radio stations and podcasts on topics including abusive relationships, divorcing a narcissist and divorce recovery.  Leanne openly shares her journey with us, how she hit bottom, then learned to remove the masks of perfection and ask for help to create the shift she required for her life.  In addition, she has spoken at a variety of events focused on women empowerment, and she regularly writes her own blog on topics about dating, relationships and family law. Leanne has degrees in political science, education and law. Her biggest pride and joy is her two teenage children who she lives with in Toronto, Canada. In addition to her business, Leanne is passionate about fitness, travel and lifelong education. In this episode we talk about: 1. The mask of perfectionism and how it is impossible to maintain.  2.

Knowing when our problems are bigger than us and that we rarely have the solutions on our own.   4. Being grateful for our challenges as they shape us into who we are meant to become.   5. The tremendous power in owning our stories without any shame because that is the turning point where all change begins.  6.

#49: "The Light at the End of the Tunnel Isn't for You" In this Monday Mindset episode we talk about finding our way to the light at the end of the tunnel.  Sometimes we find ourselves at the light and we forget how we got there…how many decisions, actions, tools, strategies we used to get there.  In that space, others can reach out to connect to ask “how did we get there?” When we get to this space of working through our challenges, we may feel called to share our journey, and to take it one step further we may be called to pay it forward by building a platform of a business (speaking, coaching or writing) to increase our reach and support even more people!  The light at the end of the tunnel isn’t there to shine on us.  It is there to shine through us to light the way for others to in turn find their way to the others side.  If we are being called to do this, it is up to us to embrace this responsibility as it is truly “our purpose”.  Our mess truly has become our message! In this episode we talk about:  1. Our stories happen to us for a reason, giving a purpose to our stories can be very healing for our journey.  2. Recognizing what helped us to get to this point in our journey and honouring ALL the steps, no matter how small they may seem.  3. Embracing our calling to build our platform to impact others and to do so unapologetically! 4. The incredible opportunity to share our stories in the upcoming collaborative book and mastermind launching the first week of June.  5. The power of each of us stepping into our purpose, shining that light through us instead of on us, and how that can in turn help so many other people! 6. Understanding that some of us have been dealt unbelievable life challenges and that is calling us to a big level in life to do something with our stories.  Connect with Marsha: Book your interview for the Collaborative book & Mastermind Opportunity https://calendly.com/mvanwyn761/30min Book your Discovery Call: https://calendly.com/mvanwyn761 Check out my website -  https://www.marshavanw.com/ Connect on Facebook -- https://www.facebook.com.marshavanwynsberghe Connect on Instagram --  https://www.instagram.com/marshavanw/ About me –  Marsha Vanwynsberghe — Author, Speaker and Life Coach  Marsha is the 6-time Bestselling Author of “When She Stopped Asking Why”.  She shares her lessons as a parent who dealt with teen substance abuse far past the level of normal experimentation.

#48: “The Path From Insecurity to Confidence -- Finding Our True Potential with Christine Althouse" Today we chat with Christine Althouse.  Christine is a Lifestyle Coach, a mother, wife and entrepreneur.  Christine is passionate about helping women gain the confidence to speak out and share their beliefs with the world. Her goal is to help women make incredible things happen in their lives. Her live Facebook show every Monday, “Mom Talk”, inspires women to change their lives through the insights of other moms who have launched a home business during the demanding child-rearing years.

In this episode we talk about:  1. The power of our stories and how sharing them can help support others.  2. We decide the power of our stories by how much we feed them or free ourselves from them.  3. Freedom comes from confronting the difficult things in life, avoiding them never leads to positive changes.  4. Forgiveness is necessary for us to move forward and it is a critical step in creating positive change.  5.

#47: “Stop Apologizing for Your Message” In this Monday Mindset episode we talk about the power of owning our stories and why we should stop apologizing for our sharing our message.  Our stories happen to us for a reason, and wanting to do something with our stories, building a business to serve, impact and support others is not something to be ashamed of.  It is something to be proud of.  We are passing the lessons onto others and shortening their learning curve.  In this episode we talk about:  1. Our stories happen to us for a reason, giving a purpose to our stories can be very healing for our journey.  2. Not everyone will understand our journey and that is ok; they have their own journey to live with and be on.  3. I applaud and encourage people to talk about the stories that no one else wants to talk about; yet, these are exactly the stories that people spend endless hours on google searching for the answers.  4. The louder we speak, the more we use our voice to share our stories, the bigger the dent/impact we make on the power shame has over our lives.  5. Sometimes life truly takes balls of steel, the heart of a lion and the soul of an angel.  Be proud if you have these ingredients!  6. Step up to make a massive impact and do it unapologetically.  The lessons, experiences, the wins and falls all make up your platform of impact. Don’t feel guilty for building a business to support others and charge for your services.  You went to school for a LONG time to gain this experience! 7. If you feel called to build your business from your story, embrace the calling, step up to do the work and build the business and impact you know you are here to do!

#45: “Is it Time to Raise Your Standards?” In this Monday Mindset episode we talk about creating change in our life by raising our standards and deciding that we want more for our lives.  We must be the catalyst for change, it all starts with the internal work.  Our life doesn’t change on its own, it changes by deciding to commit to doing the work to create change.   Today I share the importance of being that catalyst and raising our standards, expecting more for our lives.   In this episode we talk about:  1. We teach people how to treat us, and we decide to let the gossip or criticism dictate how we live our life.  It is our choice how we let this impact us.  2. We decide the standards for what we want to create, how we want to live and how we want that life to play out.  We can’t choose what happens to us, we can choose how we responds what happens to us.  3. Everything can change when we own our story, honour our values, and create boundaries to support our life.  4. If we make ourselves a priority in our lives, and increase our self-care practice, we can change how we respond to what happens in our lives.  5. Respecting our energy and choosing to surround ourselves with people who help us grow, raise our energy and believe in what we are capable of.  6. We can be the catalyst and we can change our story at any time we choose to.  Connect with Marsha: Book your Discovery Call: https://calendly.com/mvanwyn761 Check out my website -  https://www.marshavanw.com/ Connect on Facebook -- https://www.facebook.com.marshavanwynsberghe Connect on Instagram --  https://www.instagram.com/marshavanw/ About me –  Marsha Vanwynsberghe — Author, Speaker and Life Coach  Marsha is the 6-time Bestselling Author of “When She Stopped Asking Why”.  She shares her lessons as a parent who dealt with teen substance abuse far past the level of normal experimentation.

#43: “The Storms We Walk Through” In this Monday Mindset episode we talk about what happens when we find ourselves in a storm, how easy it is to assume that we are alone and no one else “understands”, and how to shift the energy and not stay in that space.  I share 6 tools that I used and still use when I am stuck in a storm.  It takes practice to shift that negative energy, yet it is so worth it because staying tied to that anchor will never lead to creating any positive change in our lives.  Today I share the importance of recognizing and honouring that sometimes we are stuck in a storm and how to shift it to walk through that storm even stronger on the other side.   In this episode we talk about:  1. The power/importance of self-care in the storms, and literally every day.  2. Determining “what” you can own, and what isn’t yours to own.  3. How to focus on controlling what you can control and the power of surrender to let go of everything else.  4. Recognizing where you do have power in your life and where you are not using it.  Also understanding the power of asking for help and the giving and receiving aspect of accepting help from others.  5. Shifting our energy by pouring kindness and compassion into others to shift ourselves and support others.  6. Deciding to show up as the person you want to have in your life.  Be that person and your people will find you. 7. Remember that the storm will come and it will pass. Let it pass through and build yourself to be stronger because of the storm.  Connect with Marsha: Book your Discovery Call: https://calendly.com/mvanwyn761 Check out my website -  https://www.marshavanw.com/ Connect on Facebook -- https://www.facebook.com.marshavanwynsberghe Connect on Instagram --  https://www.instagram.com/marshavanw/ About me –  Marsha Vanwynsberghe — Author, Speaker and Life Coach  Marsha is the 6-time Bestselling Author of “When She Stopped Asking Why”.  She shares her lessons as a parent who dealt with teen substance abuse far past the level of normal experimentation.

#35: “Move Beyond Diets & Scales -- You have a Deeper Calling” Kim Baster is a Food Freedom and Mindset Coach.   Kim understands first-hand the struggles that come with growing up as a teenager. At the young age of 12 she was introduced to dieting and not feeling like her body was good enough.
