In this episode, we are speaking with Keynote Speaker, Phil Barth.  In August 2015 Phil suffered what the doctor called a “small” heart attack.  Following his recovery Phil started a daily gratitude practice on social media. He listed a few of the small great things that happened in his life each day. The practice has gone on for over six years now. In 2018 Phil took what he had learned and wrote the International best SORT OF selling book “Great Things Happen Every Day” – a book about stress management, recovery from a heart attack, banana milkshakes and rummage sales. He delivers keynote speeches on the topic of stress management as well.In this episode we discuss:1) How to avoid the stress trap that we easily fall into.  Phil explains what his body went through before his heart attack, and some of the signs of stress we experience and how we can easily become stress junkies and actually be addicted to the adrenaline and cortisol rush. 2) How gratitude, mindset shift, and regular daily commitment and practice can drastically change how you manage stress every day in your life. 3) Phil shares so many stories with a sense of humour and brings a lightness to such a challenging topic that deserves more air time and conversation.

In this episode, I want to share some thoughts on what happens when we try to skip over parts of our healing, our feelings and how we subconsciously cannot push through these pieces no matter how hard we try. This is in alignment with one of the processes we use in the NLP Breakthrough Day Experience, where we use TIME Techniques to release emotions that we are holding onto in the order of anger, sadness, fear, hurt, shame/guilt.  It brought up the conversation that we spend most of our lives holding onto or trying to skip past our emotions. In this episode, we discuss: 1)   When you skip over, push past or hide your true feelings, you subconsciously are telling yourself that they don’t matter.  If your thoughts don’t matter then subconsciously you are telling yourself that you don’t matter. That will never change them.    2)  Interrupt the loop, call yourself out, use a saying or a mantra, and then ask yourself what you are here to feel. Then FEEL it, no matter how messy it is. 3)  Recognize that your emotions are simply data.  They don’t mean anything unless you make them mean something.  They are giving you information and you can decide what to do with them and how you respond.

In this episode, I have a couple of different perspective shifts when it comes to visualizing your goals and bringing your visions to life.  This episode was inspired by Mel Robbins and one of her podcast episodes and it really hit home when I recognized that I spend more time visualizing the “end game or end product” instead of visualizing the mistakes, the challenges and getting up from them and moving forward.  In this episode, we discuss: 1)   How can you visualize and focus on the things that don’t go perfectly in the pursuit of your goals and still find the mindset to stay on track? 2)  Where can you recognize your own patterns of self sabotage and see how to catch it earlier and put a plan into action? 3)  Where can you have fun with this process, instead of focusing on perfection, focusing on all the surprising ways that your vision can come to life?

In this episode, we are speaking with Retired Colour Sergeant, Tim Heale.  Having spent most of his adult life under the Colours in the British Army from being an infantry soldier to being an experienced PSYOPS Operator on 7 operational deployments has given Tim some awesome opportunities. Tim played a lot of rugby and his position was scrum half, the ski telemark and completed several times at the British Telemark Championships.  He was a Hang Gliding Instructor, he played American Football for Milton Keynes Pioneers. He was a reasonably experienced offshore sailor and owned 3 boats, sailed around the UK with just his wife and Artie the Ship's cat. He spent the last 8 years in the Army as a Unit Welfare Officer for London Central Garrison and took part in all the Ceremonial duties in London during that time. Nowadays I'm retired and spend my time Podcasting and Vlogging, and on the committees of the Portsmouth & Gosport History Group and Hornet Services Sailing Club. Tim is the host of the Ordinary People’s Extraordinary Stories.  In this episode we discuss:1) The power of storytelling, sharing our stories, leaving our stories when we are no longer here. How Tim started his podcast during the pandemic and started sharing his stories and got curious about interviewing others to share their stories. 2) Tim openly invites conversations on his podcast and on his weekly show, and continues to dive into topics that most people have questions on, would love to learn and relate with others, yet these are the topics we rarely speak about. 3) Tim has so many stories that he shares throughout the episode, including stories that build resilience, character and stories that will have you laughing and reminiscing about past memories.

In this episode, I have a question for you to ask yourself.  Are you waiting for everything to be perfect, to be lined up perfectly until you decide to stand in your light? Are you waiting to release the podcast, do the live, share your story, write the chapter, the book, speak from stage, or launch your program when it is done and perfect? That is never going to happen and you will be waiting a long time before you can release it. More importantly you are missing incredible opportunities, people and experiences because they won’t see you for who you truly are. In this episode, we discuss: 1)   Who do you connect with, relate to, learn from?  Do you resonate and relate to them because they are perfect or because they are real? 2)  Shine in your imperfections, in your pieces of fear of judgment and show others you are human.  Call out your fears first, I did this years ago when I was sharing my own vulnerable story in a book. 3)  Where is one place you can challenge yourself to shine before you are ready?  Can you show up on a video without being ready, can you put the post out without checking it 198 times? When you step forward you learn, you might have a misstep but it isn’t a failure, failure is an event it is not a person or an identity. Stand in your own light, and shine a light on everything that is not perfect, that is what will make you the most relatable.

In this episode, I am sharing a quote I heard Tony Robbins say and it made me stop and really reflect on the word problems. “Every problem is a gift and without problems we would not grow and if we’re not growing we are not living” ~ Tony Robbins. In this episode, we discuss: 1)   There are problems which I would rather call obstacles, challenges, and difficulties. When you are stuck IN your problems it’s really hard to find your way out.  Staying stuck in your problems, I visualize being trapped under them and that is when we give the word problems power over us.  When you are able to gain perspective, you will see what you are there to learn or how you can grow through your challenges.  2)  Our problems become the impetus to grow. Most of us don’t simply grow on our own, except in the areas where we have passion. But our problems come from all different aspects of our lives, because we are meant to grow in all areas of our lives. 3)  With this mindset we are forced to adapt, to grow, to change, in order to meet these new challenges. That takes some strength, and a willingness to face the issue and resolve it. We learn more about ourselves in these times of challenges than we do when things are easy.  We also don’t step up in our lives when we are in that comfort zone and things are “easy”. Without the challenges would we actually grow?

In this episode, we are speaking with Herbalist, Energy Medicine Educator, Trauma- Informed Breathwork Facilitator, Amy Stein. Amy’s mission is to educate and empower others who are suffering with physical, mental or emotional health issues to learn to reconnect with the innate intelligence of our body along with Mother Nature. She believes we can be our own best healers when we can quiet the internal and external noise in order to hear the messages for healing. Reminding ourselves that we get to choose what is best for us. Her approach is a mind-body-spirit one which uses the “power of the plants”, mindfulness and breathwork to assist in reconnecting you back to your body.In this episode we discuss:1) How we can learn to be our own best advocate and healer to heal our bodies. 2) 1/12 women and 1/24 men have a variety of autoimmune conditions, and these numbers continue to grow as many are misunderstood or unreported.  3) Amy dove deep into the mind/body connection and how important it is in our healing journey.  Connect with Amy Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/381761643253110 YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVUz_4LdQD1ws-A-vBtVS3A Here is a FREE eBook of 5 Simple Ways to Reconnect to Your Intuition. https://bit.ly/3xk6MHtMarsha Vanwynsberghe — Storytelling Business Coach, 2xs Podcaster, Author, SpeakerMarsha 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.

In this episode, I am sharing some thoughts and reminders that just because you have a thought doesn’t mean you have to accept it as a fact.  When your thoughts pop up, consciously  challenge the thoughts and try these few steps to actually change the thought instead of “believing” the thoughts that are not serving you. In this episode, we discuss: 1)   When it is a thought that doesn’t serve you or the direction you are moving towards, consciously ask yourself if it is true, is it something you want to believe and when did this thought first arise? Get curious, ask yourself where did it come from, is it serving you, did this person who might have said it say it from their own subconscious beliefs and do you align with them as a person? 2)  Almost all of our limiting beliefs come from our deep rooted subconscious beliefs that were all created before the age of 8 years old.  To change this belief you have to address it with your conscious mind, 5% of your mind and it requires work and repetition.  Consciously re-write the moment, the experience and you can create a new belief that is in alignment with the direction you want to move into. The more you do this the more familiar it will become.  3)  You can change that belief from a vibration of comparison, lack, judgement to a new empowering belief of the direction you are moving towards.  Join the OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification https://www.marshavanw.com/outspoken Subscribe on Youtubehttps://bit.ly/3wjsdb0   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.

In this episode, I am celebrating and sharing that it has been 5 years since my 6x Bestselling Book Release, When She Stopped Asking Why. I am a completely different person since that book release and I am so grateful for this experience. I wanted to share some lessons that still ring true for me, some new lessons, the power of asking different questions, and how the dots always connect even when we don’t think they ever will make sense.    In today’s episode we discuss: 1) A number of lessons, takeaways, gratitudes and a quick reading of an excerpt of When She Stopped Asking Why.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support!

Brenden is the founder of MasterTalk, he coaches ambitious executives & entrepreneurs to become top 1% communicators in their industry. He also has a popular YouTube channel called MasterTalk, with the goal of providing free access to communication tools for everyone in the world.In this episode we discuss:1) Why it is so important that we learn to communicate, speak and master our skills no matter what profession or field we are in. 2) One question to keep asking ourselves is if we are making our purpose a priority?  It will never just happen.  It requires belief in ourselves, discipline, commitment, practice and honing in on our skills every single day. 3) How all change begins at the identity level and once we see and believe that identity is ours, we then practice the habits that identity would embody every single day.

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

In this episode, I am sharing a quick question I regularly ask myself and reflect on especially when I feel stuck in a situation. No one likes to feel stuck yet for some of us that is almost a home base, the familiar space we continually fall back towards even though it might not be what we want. Asking intentional questions like this can shift your mindset from lack or victim mindset to possibility. In this episode, we discuss: 1)  Everything is teaching us something, we decide what we want to look for and see the lessons we want to see.  Not all lessons are fun, and most likely the ones that kick us hard are teaching us the biggest lessons2) When I am hitting a wall, I stop and ask “what am I here to learn?” That question has become a powerful shift in my life, especially when I feel stuck, which I never truly am, it is just a moment of being stuck in my mind. 3) There doesn’t always have to be a profound lesson or reason for your challenges so don’t get stuck on that piece, and sometimes we don’t ever learn the lessons until much later down the road.

In this episode, I am sharing thoughts on allowing your role and your business to evolve and change. Change can be scary and it’s important to remember that change is the only constant that occurs in our lives.  We always get to choose how we respond. This idea came from a podcast with Tom Bilyeu and Vishen, founder of MindValley Beliefs on the Impact Theory Podcast. We are all allowed to evolve and change in our lives and our business and the resistance of it is what can keep ourselves stuck even longer than necessary.  In this episode, we discuss: 1)  Vishen the founder of MindValley Beliefs that leads to a habit, the belief that the number one thing in your life is your rate of growth. He referred to the acronym R.O.S.E. The Rate of Self Evolution.  Your quest in life is to grow and grow.  If growth becomes your belief then all of your habits that move towards growth will also increase. Do you make time to meditate, exercise, read, listen to podcasts, journal, or anything that improves yourself or helps you grow? 2) The other piece is that we are meant to change, it’s a fact in our life and business. It is our opportunity to stay relevant, innovative, competitive and in a state of joy loving what we are doing! I have moved from podcaster, author, speaker, coach, business coach and am currently making the move to trainer.  Your needs change, your family and your season of life changes and your clients needs change too.  3) Evolving is critical to our success.  In acknowledging that it's not a change, but an evolution, enables us to allow for growth through trial and error.

In this episode, I want to talk about boundaries but especially when you need a boundary for yourself from yourself.  The process of self-sabotage is real, and learning how to recognize what ways you are not supporting yourself, or where you might be self-sabotaging yourself is an important place to start. In this episode, we discuss: 1)  Boundaries start with our values, and clarity on our values makes it easier for all the yes’ and no’s you will follow through with in your life and business.   2)  Boundaries are a moving line, like a bubble.  Not a hard line in the sand with no negotiating and also recognizing that this changes every single day.  If you find that your self-care practices are low, your stress is high, I guarantee your boundaries will be the next thing affected.   3) What boundaries do you need for yourself, from yourself? We all have an area of our lives where we are not our best cheerleaders, or supporters.  Join the Coaching Certification Waitlisthttps://www.marshavanw.com/certificationwaitlist Master Your Emotions Masterclasshttps://www.marshavanw.com/masteryouremotions Subscribe on Youtubehttps://bit.ly/3wjsdb0 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.Through her programs, coaching, and live events for women, Marsha is on a mission to teach you how to “Own Your Choices” in your own life.  She teaches women how to own their stories, lead themselves and pay it forward to others by creating businesses that serve, support, and impact others.

In this episode I am speaking with Author and Speaker D. Neil Elliott.  Neil lives in a peaceful historic village on the West Coast of British Columbia with his wife and a house full of art, books, and plants. He names all his plants—his favorite is a tall and lean Yucca called Rogelio. Neil has three children and five grandchildren, all of whom, of course, are brilliant. He loves ALL wildlife, and domestic pets too. In his twenties, he raised a variety of parrots and Labrador dogs. Neil has a passion for motorcycling and loves to travel, particularly in Europe, to visit museums, churches, and art galleries.  He likes to visit cities and enjoy all they have to offer, but prefers a peaceful country life close to water, forests, and plenty of wildlife.In this episode we discuss: 1) The seven steps to the evolution of a soul, the relationship of our ego and soul and how true ascension begins when we gain control of our soul. 2) Neil’s story as he moved from planning his suicide and writing a letter, to having a spiritual awakening, writing and releasing his book, and now sharing his message with the world.  A lot can change in a relatively short period of time when we stay open and commit to doing the work and receiving the messages meant for us. 3)  The lessons of suffering that we all experience are where we can find our gifts that we are meant to step into and share with the world. Life is journey that always begins from within.

In this episode, I am sharing a quick episode gratitudes, how they can shift your state, your emotions and how it comes down to feeling them, not just thinking about them. In this episode we discuss: 1) Do you focus on what is missing or what you appreciate in your life? Do you focus on what you can or can’t control? Do you focus on the past, the present or the future? 2) I share the combination of these that can create the feelings of depression, anger, frustration, anxiety, worry, fear, and up to appreciation and gratitude. 3) Feeling the emotions in our body is one way to create a shift and change in anchoring in those gratitudes, allowing yourself to feel them, for them to become familiar and it becomes a way to create more of this in your life.

In this episode, I want to talk to you about what is in your backpack.  What are you choosing to carry every single day, how long are you carrying it for and how is it affecting you? In this episode, we discuss: 1)  We tend to carry so many emotions, feelings and energy that are not serving us.  Holding onto these emotions weigh us down and block us from the things that are ours to carry.  This affects our energy and energy is the number one resource we all have to make a change in our lives. This includes what would be considered our mistakes. 2) This concept also relates to when we think, overthink and don’t make a decision on something because we overthink and are over analytical on things that we know are a no. No decision is a decision. 3) Get used to checking in regularly, daily or weekly and look at what you are carrying that isn’t yours. This requires letting go and not owning it, and yes it takes practice, but once you let it go you will find how much easier it is and how much better it feels to let it go.

He specializes in helping individuals accomplish and achieve set out goals with the objective of becoming full filled within their own life. He spent 18 years within a hospital and has now taken that knowledge into coaching individuals struggling with similar challenges he once struggled with. In this episode we discuss: 1) Michael’s story, what he experienced from spending years in the hospital, losing his brother to the same disease, and being in the state of planning his suicide to completely changing his life over the last 4 years and now finding his purpose, passion and mission in life. 2) The steps that Michael went through to change his beliefs, change his mindset and how this led to creating physical and physiological changes in his body outside of only improvements in his health.  It truly shows the power of our thoughts and subconscious programming. 3)  The power of community and how it completely reshaped his mindset and beliefs to what is possible.  He has allowed himself to be completely surrounded by and receive the support that is available for him, and he will continue to pay it forward in his mentoring, coaching and continuing to raise funds and support kids in the hospital through the foundation CAM-O, named after his late brother, Cameron.

In this episode, I am sharing a personal experience, story and revelation from attending my NLP Master Practitioner immersion.  If you are a person who strives to be positive, and share and shift into a positive perspective immediately when things go wrong or are challenging, this episode is for you. In this episode, we discuss: 1)  What do you do or how do you respond when you are challenged? What are your go to words, phrases or responses? What happens when you repeat this experience over and over? 2) It doesn’t always have to be good. What is the underlying story you are repressing and how is pushing that down actually hurting you? 3) Get to the root of the problem, call yourself out on your own excuses or methods and replace it with a process that supports you in the most healing way possible.

In this episode, I want to share a couple of quick lies, misconceptions or truths about motivation. We spend time waiting to be motivated or inspired and this is a slippery slope that is likely going nowhere or completely backwards. In this episode, we discuss: 1)  Motivation is a byproduct and a result of doing an action that makes you feel motivated. It never just happens and it isn’t something that you have and someone else doesn’t. 2) Motivation is unreliable because it's based on so many factors that we can't always know for sure. One day, you might be feeling extremely motivated. The next day you want to lay in bed all day for no good reason. Motivation is often also based on our energy levels which change from time to time, day by day. 3) Motivation never lasts, it is not how you feel that will determine your result, it is what you do.  Join the OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification https://www.marshavanw.com/outspoken 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.

In this episode, we are speaking with Neuropsychologist, Dr. Julia DiGangi.  Dr. DiGangi is a neuropsychologist who shows you how to expand the power of your nervous system to hold more emotional voltage. As a brain scientist, Dr. Julia knows that your nervous system is your portal to power.  She will show you how to take the pain in your life--your stress, your struggle and your suffering--and transform it into your power. Dr. Julia brings tremendous expertise and decades of applied experience serving leaders at the highest levels of power, including The White House, top leadership at global companies, and Special Forces. Having worked with leaders who’ve endured some of the highest-stakes, highest-stress situations on the planet, Dr. Julia will show you what it takes to unlock new dimensions of your emotional power as you face defining challenges in your own life. In this episode we discuss:1) Where pain originates and how it starts as soon as we abandon who we are, and we create this internal tug of war within ourselves. We can find our own personal power when we recognize that we are our own safest bet. 2) Trauma and pain in our bodies, how our brain is the pattern detector machine and its responsibility is to protect us from pain, and Dr. Julia’s definition of trauma as the violent shattering of the predictable patterns. 3) Where trauma and how we deal with trauma can affect or impact our leadership skills, leading others in business and in our lives.

In this episode, I am sharing the differences between the fear of success and the fear of failure, how to see the roots of it and how to reframe it to see it differently. In this episode, we discuss: 1)  Fear of failure relates to the feeling of not meeting our own expectations.  Fear of success relates to the belief we have in ourselves in our ability to hold our success, hold the growth and who we might lose in the process or how it might change our lives or relationships.  We also may feel the fear of judgment and what others will think or say about us when we change.  2) Explore the origins of the fears, see how and when it shows up, spend time visualizing success, manage the stress and anxiety and find a way to see it for what it is, a chance for our ego to keep us “safe” 3) Look for evidence or proof of how many times you have actually proven to yourself that you are capable and able to create this change in your life? The proof is there when you look for it.  Join the OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification https://www.marshavanw.com/outspoken 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.

In this episode, this is a personal one.  Today is our youngest son’s birthday and I want to share some of the lessons I have learned from being a mom.  My boys are 24 and 25 years old as of today, and it has me reminiscing and reflecting on all that I have learned from them, and how much they have taught me and shaped me into the person I am today. In this episode, we discuss: 1)  First off there’s no manual, so I had to come to a place knowing that I was doing the best that I could.  I had to learn how to adapt, change in the moment and learn that what worked for one situation or circumstance might not work the same in the next scenario. Learning how to not judge their wins, losses or lessons, they are here to navigate their own way. 2) I have learned self compassion, surrender, and leaned into faith more than I ever believed I would be able to. Trusting myself to make very difficult decisions has been a steep learning curve.  3) They are my best teachers, I have learned so much from them and allowing them to live their lives, make their own decisions and know that in that process  mistakes will be made too is normal. Let’s normalize pivoting and changing and knowing that we have the ability to stay standing on our feet in the process. 4) They aren’t ours to keep, they never were.  That means we have to give them space to make their mistakes and learn from them. I have always said “I cannot push or pull them through life, my job is to walk beside them and encourage them to keep going.”  Join the OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification https://www.marshavanw.com/outspoken   Subscribe on Youtubehttps://bit.ly/3wjsdb0 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.Through her programs, coaching, and live events for women, Marsha is on a mission to teach you how to “Own Your Choices” in your own life.  She teaches women how to own their stories, lead themselves and pay it forward to others by creating businesses that serve, support, and impact others.

Today we are speaking with Yoga, Sex + Death Creator + Facilitator, Founder of Samarasa Center, Susan Marrufo. Susan left the United States and a job in advertising in 2008 to travel internationally and experience life beyond the confines of her cultural conditioning. She received her first 500-hr yoga certification in Thailand in 2009, where she began her studies of the classical yogic scriptures and delved deeply into esoteric tantric philosophy.   After years of teaching month-long tantric based courses on the banks of the Ganges in India and the Pacific coastal towns of Mexico, Susan returned to the US to begin a residential internship with the Kripalu School of Yoga. She taught in and project managed several Kripalu yoga teacher trainings as well as received her 2nd 500-hr teacher training certification from the Kripalu School of Yoga in 2013.   She has since split her time between India, Thailand and the US, facilitating group courses in the inquiry of yoga, meditation, intimacy and shadow work before moving to Los Angeles in 2016 to open Samarasa Center - an online and in-person community of dedicated seekers. In this episode we discuss: 1) Susan’s journey of overcoming trauma, learning to feel and not numb and a healing journey that has taken her all over the globe as well as building her own Yoga, Sex and Death certification program. 2) Trauma – how we think of trauma as an event when actually it is a response in our nervous system to the event.  When this happens our body differentiates pieces of the trauma and leaves these in our past and in our subconscious mind.  Healing requires supporting our subconscious mind and healing all the pieces of our past stories.

In this episode, I am sharing a quick episode on how the words we hear as a child, our experiences and struggles can actually circle back around to become the strengths in our adulthood. So many times our messages become and create the feelings of “limitations” and we let them stop us when actually they truly are our innate strengths. It is up to us to own them. In this episode, we discuss: 1)  Trust, slow down, listen for the signs and know that the right words, names and titles will land. 2) What words were used to describe yourself when you were younger? How can you look at them and see them differently? 3) I shared a quick story about an overgrown flower bed, weeds, and a lawnmower.  Join the Coaching Certification Waitlisthttps://www.marshavanw.com/certificationwaitlist Subscribe on Youtubehttps://bit.ly/3wjsdb0   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.

In this episode, I am sharing some thoughts on the word alignment.  It’s a business buzzword that we hear all the time and I think we can all relate to the feelings of being in and out of alignment.  What if our misalignment is actually teaching us more than what we give it credit for?  What if it isn’t about failing, but it’s showing us what we want more or less of in our lives?    In this episode, we discuss: 1)  What does alignment feel like? Can you think of times in your life and business that have you feeling so in alignment and working in joy and your gifts? 2) We can’t know what alignment is if we don’t know what misalignment is too. Those moments of misalignment can teach us so much about ourselves, such as our own needs, what feels good, what lights us up, what is and what isn’t working. 3) Coming back into alignment might be a simple 3 degrees shift, more yes’ or no’s to the things that light you up to bring you back into a space that feels good for you?

Today we are speaking with Self Mastery Coach, Andrea Lowell.  Andrea is a Self Mastery coach for women, whose life is built upon a foundation of relentless self honesty and awareness, gratitude, and harmonizing Universal and Spiritual Law. Many people assume Andrea was "born like this" and has lived a "charmed life," since she was in the entertainment industry for decades, and was surrounded by wealth and celebrity. However, that was in fact the low point of her life. It was a truly empty and vapid career, which only created emotional and spiritual bankruptcy. She had to hit an emotional rock bottom, and know what hopelessness felt like, in order to finally get real with herself, do the inner work, and actually cultivate a life to be grateful for. Andrea has not only mastered the blueprint for women to find true bliss, fulfillment, and personal power, but has been successfully coaching women from all walks of life on this exact path for a decade. Through practicing the Self Mastery lifestyle of integration and self honesty, she and her clients now are able to manifest miracles, diminish anxiety, have blissful relationships, and become the women they were put on earth to be. It's not for everyone, but the path of Self Mastery is the journey that will take women all the way up to the top!In this episode we dive into: 1) The meaning of Self-Mastery and how to stop relying on the outside world instead of yourself when it comes to finding and creating solutions for change in our lives. This is how we learn to take back our own personal power. 2) Andrea’s story and how for 16 years she wasn’t tapped into her own personal power and how a specific day in front of a mirror changed everything and led her to the work she does today to support so many other women.

In this episode, I want to share how it is possible to master your emotions.  Learning how to master your emotions is a powerful level of self-leadership and emotional intelligence that has made such an incredible difference in my life, business and energy. Learning these pieces of emotional intelligence has been a game changer in my life and business. This is not a journey about perfectionism, it is a journey of becoming a master pattern interrupter, a ninja! In this episode, we discuss: 1)  Acknowledge, be aware and appreciate your emotions, no matter what they are.  Your emotions are not bad, they are a compass showing what you actually want more or less than in your life. Get curious, ask the questions, and don’t make them mean anything about you, because they don’t.  Treat your emotions with gratitude instead of resentment. 2) Brutal honesty about our self talk, recognizing if we would speak to anyone in that manner, or allow anyone to speak to us the way we speak to ourselves. Our response is a massive clue that we are not responding from our highest self, our best energy, etc.  There is a high and a low frequency to everything and it is our self-leadership that guides us in either direction. 3) Ownership, skills (what skills do you need) and self-leadership are the compass, beginning point of the emotional intelligence required in learning how to master my emotions.

In this episode, I want to share some thoughts on the term self-made? I can fully recognize that I have had privileges that some people do not and have not had. Many of us have. We have also overcome stories that maybe we never thought possible.  We can have grit, ambition and determination, but these traits are not solely the reasons for success. We can be humble, celebrate our success, cheer each other on, and realize we are not doing it alone.  In this episode, we discuss: 1)  Can we please honour the work of the people who went before us, who believed in us, who showed us what was possible? 2) Self-made also attributes that we are doing it alone, and I’ve done life and business both ways and I would rather not do it alone.

In this episode, I want to share some thoughts on logic and creativity and tie it back to our conscious and unconscious mind and some tips on how to shift this. In this episode, we discuss: 1)  Our unconscious mind is responsible for 95-99 % of our thoughts, beliefs and this is ultimately connected to our actions.  We will not take action on something we don’t believe is possible. We also will always move towards what is familiar, even if that doesn't serve us or isn't part of our big vision moving forward. So is what we say we want and our actions on the same page? 2) Our conscious mind is all about creativity, imagination, and the vision of what we want to bring to life.  So the idea, the download hits and then we get excited and then we fall into the how, the logic, and immediately our subconscious mind shows us the proof, what is familiar to us and before we know it we are back where we started.  Logic is blocking us from creating change.

In this episode, this is a quick episode on how what we truly care about, what matters to us is evident.  Is it time to do a quick inventory of what you say is important and if it is in alignment with your actions and choices?  It isn’t that you are not capable. Are your choices in full alignment with what you say you care about? I have to refer to a quote from the Harry Potter series, “It is our choices that show us what we truly are, far more than our abilities.” In this episode, we discuss: 1)  What if you take a quick inventory of what you say is important, what matters most to you and see if it is consistent in your life. Not from the results standpoint but from the actions standpoint. Attach no shame, judgment or criticism, just brutal honesty if you are in alignment or not. 2) The things that matter to you are the things that you are saying yes and no to every single day. It’s impossible to hide. And even if you think you are hiding it from others, including yourself, you know deep down you aren’t. Start with this piece of honest and instead of thinking of all the things you have to reinvent, do or change, what if you focus on one simple habit that you know isn’t serving you?

In this episode I am speaking with Lion Goodman is a transformational coach, author, healer and teacher. At the age of 26, Lion was shot in the head four times. This near-death experience kick-started his five decades of research into the nature of consciousness, developmental psychology, spirituality and healing. He created the Clear Beliefs Method of trauma-informed therapeutic coaching, which he has taught to more than 500 coaches, healers and therapists around the world. His training is accredited by both the International Coaching Federation and Association for Coaching. In a single session, Lion can eliminate a client’s limiting or negative belief from their subconscious mind, heal a childhood wound, or resolve a trauma from the past. The Clear Beliefs Method is a multidimensional approach to rapid, deep healing. Lion has taught workshops and training around the world, and authored 5 books, including Creating On Purpose, Clear Your Clients' Limiting Beliefs, and Menlightenment. He is a co-author of a new book, “Transforming Trauma,” with Joe Vitale, Marci Shimoff, John Demartini, and Christy Whitman. In this episode we discuss: 1) Lion’s life work has been to study the realm of beliefs as they shape how we perceive reality. In order to be able to live our life to the fullest potential and overcome  challenges, we need to discover our limiting beliefs, the beliefs that foster long term transformation reside in the subconscious mind. 2) Lion’s personal story, what he experienced at only 26 years old, and how he has been on a lifelong mission and purpose to help people get to the root of their limiting beliefs, to clear their limiting beliefs so they are free to live the life they are meant to live.  Trauma, the meaning of trauma, and the Clear Beliefs Method is shared as a multidimensional approach to rapid, deep healing.

In this episode, this is a continuation of the previous episode on receiving. Today we are going to chat about guilt and how it is blocking us from receiving.  Giving and receiving are part of a karmic cycle, they go together, they are two halves of the same coin.  I would argue that you can’t do one without the other.  If we are not feeling worthy to receive it will block you from receiving anything available. In this episode, we discuss: 1) Guilt is defined as “Shame is a focus on self; guilt is a focus on behavior.” Shame is, “I am bad.” Guilt is, “I did something bad.” ~Brene Brown 2) Allowing ourselves to receive comes down to believing that we are worthy of receiving.  Worthiness or lack of worth is something that will not allow us to receive without the heavy feelings of guilt.  3) Can you give with gratitude and no expectations? This may affect your ability to receive with gratitude and if you can sit in the energy of receiving with gratitude, then there’s no room for guilt.   Join the Coaching Certification Waitlisthttps://www.marshavanw.com/certificationwaitlist Subscribe on Youtubehttps://bit.ly/3wjsdb0   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.

In this episode, this is a shout out episode to anyone who needs to create a shift on the common phrase that it is “better to give than receive.” Yes, giving is an incredible feeling and we need more humans giving to each other without any expectation or attachments in return.  However we are creating this energy of not allowing ourselves to receive and not fully understanding how it is holding us back in our relationships, life and yes in business. Giving and receiving are part of a karmic cycle, they go together, they are two halves of the same coin.  I would argue that you can’t do one without the other. In this episode, we discuss: 1) Let’s start with you are enough and it is safe for you to receive.  You are worthy of all the compliments, praise and financial abundance just because you are here. It is not weakness, it is not that you can’t do it on your own, it is that we are not meant to do this life alone and believing that we are leaves us in a state of isolation, despair and frustration. Prioritizing giving over receiving may feel like it keeps you safe and others at a safe distance yet this can become very isolating. 2) Receiving is an exercise, an experience that might feel incredibly new and uncomfortable to you. It is actually a muscle that needs to be worked, to be flexed to become stronger. This can start as simple as buying yourself flowers, practicing gratitude for recognizing all that is available for you to receive and simply saying thank you without deflecting back on someone else. If you respond out of guilt you are negating that person’s compliment. 3) If it is so important why don’t we do it more?  Childhood upbringing, being told that is selfish to receive or a sign of weakness to even ask for help.

In this episode I am speaking with David, a former consulting actuary to Fortune 100 companies. He built the world’s largest coaching business, becoming #1 on Google for life coaching and coaching thousands of hours in 12 countries around the globe. As well as helping others, David is no stranger to overcoming challenges himself, having survived a full collapse of his paraglider and a fractured spine, witnessing the death of his sister at age seven, anxiety and depression, and a national Gong Show! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgKwAJieQes) He helps business owners and leaders become the badass leaders people want to follow, creating more authenticity, connection, confidence, and revenue.In this episode we discuss: 1) We all experience a fear of loss, respect, yet we don’t have a roadmap of how to move through those emotions, to overcome them or even to share them. 2) David shares his roadmap, his journey that led to the premise for his book, “Mouse in the Room” 3) David shared how we can learn to become clear on our past; decide if this is a mouse worth naming; then learn how to disarm the mouse and share in our own way, followed by how we can be more transparent and honest with our lessons with others.

In this episode, I want to share some questions to ask yourself before you share your vulnerable story in a book, collab or solo or a podcast?  In this episode, we discuss:  1)  Get clear on why you want to share it? For what purpose, who would you love to help, inspire or provide support with sharing your story? 2) Ask yourself if you’re still “in the story?”, if you’re still a victim or stuck in the story?  Learning to support your healing will help you to own and share your part of the story.  Sharing a story requires moving from victim to victor in your story. 3) Narrow down the lessons you have learned, what you are now the expert of and how you can support someone else who may be experiencing what you went through. These lessons can open up other doors, businesses and avenues that you might not even see yet and that’s ok too. 4) Can you be vulnerable with your part of the story?  Vulnerability takes courage and is the path to building connections and it is 100% about you, no one else. Can you share the story you want to share AND do it if the people involved in the story were in the same room?  Can you share and leave everyone in integrity? If not, maybe that part is not meant to be shared? 5)  What is the reader going to take away, learn and experience from reading or hearing your story?  It’s actually not about you. It’s about what the reader can take away from your story AND how they can see themselves in your story.

In this episode, I want to share a question I started asking myself over 7 years ago and it changed everything.  This was a simple shift that I still use to this day, and to clarify this is something that has worked for me. I encourage you to continue to work to find the thing that works for you especially if you want to change and move directions from where you currently are feeling stuck.  In this episode we discuss:1) The Why questions?  Why is a victim question that will never leave or give us an answer to justify the reasons why we might be feeling challenged. This space leaves us stuck IN our stories.  No change happens from that space.  Healing starts when we can be in a space of ownership and seeing how we can respond differently regardless of our circumstances.  We are the common denominator to everything that is happening in our lives, regardless of what else is happening. 2) This is not an automatic switch. It requires grieving, guilt and surrender to what we can’t control and owning the shit out of what we can control. With a lot of practice, conscious awareness, and repetition the whole story can change. 3) The WHY is only important when you are driving towards your goals, when you are working for a purpose.  In this example the why can keep you grounded and focused.  When we use the word why for judgement, justification or jealousy, it can be paralyzing.  It can keep us stuck in our challenges, unhappy, spiraling out of control, full of resistance and resentment, and at the end it is all a waste of time and energy.    Join the Coaching Certification Waitlisthttps://www.marshavanw.com/certificationwaitlist Subscribe on Youtubehttps://bit.ly/3wjsdb0   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.

In this episode we discuss:1) Are you investing in things that are helping you grow in your business, you are your biggest asset and as you grow your income can grow.  If it is an investment that is not leading to growth, and your debt is only increasing then ask yourself if it is an actual investment or just something you wanted to buy. 2) Look back at the investments you have made in your business, and be clear on the role that it played.  There will be times that you look at why you bought what you bought and not love the purchase you made, does that make it a loss?  All depends on how you look at it. When I invested in my NLP Certification and then my Masters NLP, I took a leap without a clear reason why, but I also had built up a checklist for making these decisions in my business. 3) Look back at your past, most impactful investments and shift your thinking on the ROI, and look at how long it has been paying out.    4) This is the power of subconscious reprogramming and if you are curious, I invite you to join the Coaching Certification Waitlist to be the first to hear, to save $1000 off the enrollment and unlock extended payment plans and bonuses.

In this episode, I want to share some celebrations, wins and surprises in the podcasting journey that started over 5 years ago.   1) I have met the most incredible people from all over the world, with stories that would blow you away.  I have learned so many valuable lessons from them and I have so much gratitude for sharing their messages with you.  This podcast journey has been the personal growth journey that hasn’t slowed down or stopped. 2) It has been the growth journey my soul knew I needed before I knew it.  We have pieces that have to come first in order to get to the next step.  We don’t get to skip steps.  We aren’t ready for them and not able to hold what we desire yet.  Trust that every piece of the puzzle is important.    3) Ask the “what if questions” or “wouldn’t it be cool if?” as these questions open up our subconscious mind to possibilities.  This is the power of subconscious reprogramming and if you are curious, I invite you to join the Coaching Certification Waitlist to be the first to hear, to save $1000 off the enrollment and unlock extended payment plans and bonuses.

In this episode, I want to share some behind the scenes of what it looked like in the beginning of starting the podcasting journey.  My journey started 5 years ago but actually started with FB lives 7-8 years ago.  It all started with a gut pull, and instinct to start and let it be messy.  This is part 1 and the next episode will share what I have learned to date since starting this journey over 5 years ago, and recording over 550 episodes between 2 shows.    In this episode we discuss:1) We are so conditioned for quick results, we start for the wrong reasons, it looks easy or we get stuck in comparison, high expectations of downloads or making money from it.  Podcasting is a long game process and you have to start for the right reasons. 2) We might not be clear on our brand message, who our ideal guests are, too hard on ourselves in general or getting caught up on the numbers, the downloads and the amount of success that we perceive we are having.  3) How can you be more vulnerable and real with your audience?  Do you teach or do you share?  Podcasting is about the audience and there has to be some piece of what is in it for them to subscribe, listen, share and review your podcast.

In this episode, part 2 of the doubt series, I want to talk about how doubt works in our subconscious mind and bodies and what is happening in the body and how we can work to shift it.  Let’s look at how we can actually use doubt to fuel our vision instead of holding us back from all that we are looking to create.  Self doubt is so powerful and it can stop us before we get started.  Self-doubt is one of the many faces of fear, whether the fear is being judged, rejected, or feeling like we are failing, and this only spirals the feelings of self-doubt.  It is a paralyzing feeling and experience. Today we will share some tools to use when doubt arises and learn how to use doubt to actually fuel our vision instead of stopping us from following our vision.     In this episode we discuss: 1) What happens when the doubt arises, yes awareness is necessary, it is what you choose to do next that matters.  We spend so long waiting for the fear to be gone or to just go away, and it will never leave on its own.  Life is 10% of what happens to us and 90% our reaction to what is happening.  That means that 90% of our results are up to us, so we do always have a choice in how we respond.    2) When doubt arises we can choose to bring our conscious mind to the present moment.  Our doubt continues to plant, grow roots, and anchor in our subconscious mind, so it is bringing our conscious attention to our behaviour and then supporting our subconscious healing and reprogramming. The first shift happens with awareness, then it is taking a vulnerable and brave step, and through bravery we build strength, and then we build confidence and courage.  We can’t get courage without taking this step. 3) Visualize what you are creating and working towards.  Your subconscious mind thinks in terms of pictures, symbols, and emotions. It doesn’t understand negatives, it also doesn’t understand the difference between the past, future and present, so if you can visualize what you want to create, and give your subconscious mind a picture/a feeling to focus on, then it will open up all the different possibilities and give you something to focus on. 4) I share the example of the seed in the ground. How you nurture it, focus on it, and care for it.   As soon as doubt appears, I invite you to ask yourself the questions, “wouldn’t it be cool if”, or “what if?”  This allows your subconscious mind to start to ask deeper questions and see what is possible.  Join the Coaching Certification Waitlisthttps://www.marshavanw.com/certificationwaitlist   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.

In this episode, I want to talk about how doubt works in our subconscious mind and bodies and what is happening in the body and how we can work to shift it.  Self doubt is so powerful and it can stop us before we get started.  Self-doubt is one of the many faces of fear, whether the fear is being judged, rejected, or feeling like we are failing, and this only spirals the feelings of self-doubt.  It is a paralyzing feeling and experience. Over the next two solo episodes, I will dive deeper into doubt and give you tools for shifting the doubt and release the grip it has on you in your life.In this episode we discuss: 1) The increased feeling of self-doubt is often a sign that we are working to edge past our comfort zones.  It is the moment our ego steps in and says, “what are you actually thinking?”  All the old stories pop up fast and almost spiral us out of control.  If you are constantly apologizing or second guessing yourself, you are always feeding the doubt and this is likely a pattern you have repeated many times over in your life.    2) Start by recognizing that our fear isn’t real. We are not our fear, it is not our identity.  It is our ego’s way of planning ahead into the future and protecting us from pain, discomfort, failure or growth. The root of self-doubt is fear and doubt actually means to hesitate or waiver. Our brain hates uncertainty, and this is actually one of the most consistent things we experience.  Change is the only constant. 3) Just because we feel fear doesn't mean we have to react to it.  We can change the fear when we change our response to it.  We are feeding it or feeding our future possibilities. Feeding the doubt and fear of what the future might look like is useless energy since it will only come to be a reality if we actually move. 4) The amygdala center in our brain releases cortisol and adrenaline throughout our body at the first initial thoughts of fear. Once the amygdala triggers the flow of stress hormones your body is experiencing in a similar fashion as if you were being chased by a tiger. One of the only ways to change this is to consciously bring attention to it (subconscious and conscious brain), when we bring our conscious attention to it, this is activating our frontal cortex, this is the higher order thinking or decision making part of our brain and when we consciously activate it, it cuts the roof of our fear.  It becomes the roadblock to break the pattern.  5) So it all starts with awareness and understanding that we can change this process immediately by bringing awareness to it.  I am sharing the example of planting a seed into the ground, how we can prepare the environment for success, and how we can never see the germination process, but it is happening.    Join the Coaching Certification Waitlisthttps://www.marshavanw.com/certificationwaitlist   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.
