Own Your Choices Own Your Life

In this episode I am speaking with Speaker/Podcaster and CEO, Stephanie Olson. Stephanie is a speaker, an author, and the Chief Executive Officer of The Set Me Free Project, a prevention education organization on human trafficking, social media safety, and healthy relationships.Stephanie has a mission to share that each person has an intrinsic value that can not be changed. Her work on teaching resilience in life and leadership has inspired people across the United States. In her conversational and humorous style, Stephanie will inspire and empower. Living with years of parent abandonment, eating disorders, alcoholism, and domestic and sexual violence, she overcame through determination, faith, and resilience. She turned her trauma into triumph. Now, a sought after speaker, Stephanie runs a successful nonprofit organization and loves to speak to audiences of all kinds (faith-based and non) inspiring, encouraging, and bringing hope everywhere she speaks.In this episode we discuss: 1) Unpacking the big and little T's of trauma, seeing how we are continuing to relive the same stories until we come to a space of recognizing how we can own our own choices and we can choose our reaction. 2) The Set Me Free Project and how the process of grooming works. Stephanie continues to pay it forward by working in the field of prevention with Human Trafficking. 3) The meaning of resilience, how resilience is getting up over and over no matter how many times we are knocked down. Stephanie is a powerhouse speaker standing in her vulnerability defining all things resilience.Connect with StephanieEmail: [email protected]: https://www.stephanieolson.com/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/stephanieolsonspeaker/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/stephanieolsonspeaking/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/stephanieospeak YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCsKIF4pRUn1uJwKq94s16g Linked In - https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephanie-olson-ba959173/ The Set Me Free ProjectEmail: [email protected] Website: https://www.setmefreeproject.net/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/setmefreeproject Linked In - https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephanie-olson-ba959173/ Instagram -https://www.instagram.com/setmefreeproject/ Twitter -https://twitter.com/TheSMFProject Marsha Vanwynsberghe — Author, Speaker and Life CoachMarsha is the 6-time Bestselling Author of "When She Stopped Asking Why".

In this episode, I want to share some thoughts on loyalty. One of my mentors called me out on this, and it was so necessary. This entrepreneurship journey is rocky, messy, lonely and beautiful at the same time. As humans, many of us are so loyal to others. We have great intentions, we mean well, and we want to help others, yet we are not showing that loyalty to ourselves first. In this episode, we discuss: 1) Every emotion you are exhibiting externally in your life is an emotion that you experience first internally. Like every single relationship in your life is an extension of your relationship with yourself, where can you give to yourself first and then provide the overflow to others?2) Using this model, even if you are not in the entrepreneurship model, this is still relatable to you. Where can you show more loyalty to yourself first? Where can you pour into yourself first before giving and pouring into others? 3) "What got you here won't get you there." This is such a moment of realization that I am seeing, and thank God I surround myself with mentors who aren't afraid to call me on my shit. That is how I continue to grow, and that is how I can support my clients and continue to grow my business without burning out.

In this episode, I want to share a mindset shift or an awareness that I had this past week. It is about the things that we resent or resist and looking at the energy that we are wasting sitting in these emotions. What if these are the things we even despise of ourselves and we are holding onto that resentment. It is a weight that is holding us down, keeping us stuck in the same cycle of energy and frustration. We will never create change in this cycle. The circumstances and situations that made us who we are, are exactly the things we are being called to appreciate and be grateful for? What if these things are the actual things we must learn to love, respect, and appreciate about ourselves. In today's episode we discuss: 1) When you ask different questions, you get different answers. You cannot love yourself and hate all of the stories that made you who you are. It doesn't work that way. Sometimes the perspective shift is so one simple question that changes everything. 2) What if the things you have grown to resent, resist, and maybe even despise of yourself, are actually the things that you must learn to love, respect, and appreciate about yourself. This is such a powerful shift in our mindset. 3) This always takes me back to the Rebecca Campbell quote, "Bless the thing that cracked you open, because now more than ever, the world needs you open." This is the work that we do in Owning Your Story, and the result is a new level of healing, freedom, certainty, confidence, and purpose that is impossible to describe. 4) What is one thing you can look at in yourself, something that you once resented that you might be able to look at differently?

In this episode, I am speaking with Coach and Speaker, Bettina Carey. Bettina, the diminutive 4' 9-1/2" Latina, inspires and empowers women to create BIG RESULTS. They break through, no shatter, their earnings glass ceiling, kick self-imposed limitations to the curb and live their legacies now. Whether she's coaching from a live or virtual stage or conferring with a small cohort of bold women or men on the rise across a conference table, her championship, strategies, and straight talk compel women and men to find a whole new gear to succeed beyond their wildest dreams. Bettina's forthcoming book, "Shattering Your Own Glass Ceiling: Unlocking Your Inner Power & Hidden Potential with Your Master Key, is being written during Covid 19. Stay tuned for the release date...In this episode we discuss: 1) Bettina's vulnerable story and how her experience, combined with her drive to make an impact with others, and the shift in the pandemic, opened to door to allow her business to expand globally. 2) Bettina shared many analogies, mantras, and phrases that help her to shift at the moment, one being that she decided these last two years would be her Inspirmental years (Inspiring and Mentoring) and this has become the basis for her business that she's continuing to build. 3) Bettina's lesson in life that she is most grateful for is learning how to find gratitude in the present moment, that is truly the only moment we have. This made me reference the quote by Lao Tzu "If you are depressed you are living in the past. If you are anxious you are living in the future. If you are at peace you are living in the present."

In this episode, I dive into some thoughts on healing and how we can support ourselves more in the healing journey. I also share some ideas on how healing has to come first before we think about sharing our stories. Learning to share your story from a healed space is when we shift from anger, resentment, and blaming others to taking ownership, living at the cause, embodying the lessons and turning pain into purpose. This is the beginning of creating an impact, a ripple effect, and rewriting your story. In this episode, we discuss: 1) How to recognize when our nervous system is off, recognize when we are not listening to what our bodies need, make healing a priority, and recognize that healing isn't a task, it's a practice, and it is not a linear line. 2) Healing is a lifelong process. Healing meets you where you're at to help empower you throughout your life story. 3) When we undergo healing, we are more equipped to help others heal since we are going through the process. We can speak from places of love and light more thoroughly instead of just areas of trauma and despair. The stages of healing move from grief and denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. 4) In general, recovery is the ability to live in the present without being overwhelmed by the thoughts and feelings of the past. When we learn to respond differently and not react to everything around us, we are active in our healing process.

In this short episode, I am taking a brief minute to celebrate. Celebrate a crazy idea that came to me almost 4.5 years ago to start a podcast because no one was talking about difficult stories. I had no idea what I was doing, no one who I knew and could ask how to do it, and tons of overwhelm mixed with excitement. Oh and let's not forget the imposter syndrome that was rampant. It was messy, not even close to perfect and was one of the main starting points to learn how to bless and let go of my perfectionism. Today we celebrate 400 episodes of Own Your Choices Own Your Life and say cheers to all that is to come. In this episode, we discuss: 1) You don't have to have it all figured out, just start and trust that you can be resourceful and figure out what your next steps are as you go. 2) Allow yourself to become a beginner and to learn while doing. 3) The ideas that drop down for you are for you. They are yours to bring to life.

In this episode I am speaking with Sara McCready. Sara is an Intuitive Toxic Relationship Coach, and Reiki Master, Solo-penuer, and lover of all things self-care, healing and wellness related! Sara's passions are working with energy & intuition, and normalizing spirituality for everyone. Creator of the "Eveolution Path Program", a healing & recovery journey for women who been in a toxic relationship. The Eveloution Path, was created to help other Women heal & recover more quickly and gently from their emotional trauma and grief, and to provide a source of inspiration and wisdom so they never feel alone on their healing journey. This is the program Sara wished for during her emotional recovery.In this episode we discuss: 1) How to recgonize if a relationship is toxic, and most of the time it is difficult to recognize a toxic pattern until you are outside of the relationship. 2) How to share vulnerable stories while always speaking in integrity of the other parties. When we learn to share more about ourselves we will be able to connect with others and build the relationships and connections that we are craving and searching for. 3) How learning to be grateful for the awareness for Sara's role in the repeat patterns and relationships and how that was required in order to break the patterns that were on repeat. This is how lasting change was created in her life which then allowed her to fully step into her role to support others on their journey too.

In this episode, I wanted to share some of my back story on how I got here. It comes down to we think we know someone's story but we never do. We know the chapter we are reading and what we perceive the story is. As I was breaking down the content for the HOW program, and combining that with the book content from The Gap and The Gain it had me stop and want to share this journey with you. In this episode, we discuss: 1) The steps in my early journey, the bold and scary moves I made and the impact that they made in my life to bring me to this point. 2) How important it is to measure ourselves backwards - by how far we have come and what that looks like. We can have goals moving forward but we must measure our progress by looking backwards.

In this episode, I want to share a very simple thought and concept that you will always find the proof that you are searching for, so be so mindful and careful of what you are looking for. This is tied to all areas of your life including self-worth, business, relationships and it can keep you stuck on this spiral of creating proof, even though you are the one who is self-sabotaging and creating it. This is an "I love you but" episode. In this episode, we discuss: 1) What story has been on repeat for you? Now look at what you are continuously doing to contribute to that? The people you are surrounding yourself with, the prices you are charging etc. 2) Everything is literally data. It is always teaching us something. Choose your energy wisely and don't be pissed off or waste energy when it is something that you are setting yourself up for. This is where radical responsibility comes in yet again. 3) Be honest, ask yourself what proof are you searching for? This relates to the past episode of the Gap and the Gain and where do you find yourself, because whatever you are telling yourself is real. You are the only person who can change the story.

In this episode, I am speaking with Success Coach, Julie Hagen. Julie is a success coach for high performers who are ready to break out of patterns that keep them stuck. A former lawyer, Julie combines the best of western practicality and eastern spirituality to support you in living a life of your full potential. She is a master at spotting your blind spots and helping you course correct. With a focus on communication and effective decision making, Julie helps you learn to trust yourself (and the universe)!In this episode we discuss: 1) How our attachment is truly the root of all suffering. We dove into attachments, expectations, how we hold onto things that no longer serve us and how that is energy we are wasting that we could use to create change in our life. 2) The power of letting ourselves feel our emotions without judging or shaming ourselves, and actually let our emotions be our best teachers. Julie shared the term, "blessins" as a reminder how our blessings and lessons are combined together. 3) How transformational breathwork can be to our own healing and how healing ourselves can heal 7 generations back and 7 generations forward.

In this episode, I want to share a message downloaded (actually multiple messages that downloaded from listening to my most current audiobook, "The Gap and the Gain" by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy. This book has had some incredible points that hit home for my own business and I knew I wanted to share it with you here. In this episode, we discuss: 1) This is how they explained it in their words, "many highly ambitious people, are unhappy because of how they measure their progress. We all have an "ideal," a moving target that is always out of reach. When we measure ourselves against that ideal, we're in "the GAP." However, when we measure ourselves against our previous selves, we're in "the GAIN."2) This pertains to all areas of our lives, financial, personal, relationships, business, goals, health, etc. and no one sits in one area and never the other, it is a flow state of movement and recognizing where we are in the equation. We always have a choice, and awareness is where it starts. 3) This becomes a measurement of your current self vs your former self and it has implications that can affect and impact your emotional, physiological and psychological state. https://www.marshavanw.com/thehowmethod Join the Rising Leaders Collective https://marshavanw.com/rlcm Hypnosis/Subliminals Bundles for Leaders in Life and Business https://www.marshavanw.com/offers/56vXSnx9 Marsha Vanwynsberghe — Author, Speaker and Life CoachMarsha is the 6-time Bestselling Author of "When She Stopped Asking Why".

In this episode, I want to share a message that I know I have done, I have used and one that falls into my inbox on a regular basis. It's a trigger for me for a few reasons, so I took it as a sign to share a podcast episode on it. In this episode, we discuss: 1) "Can I pick your brain" is a code word for, "can I have free coaching", "can you share the 1 thing you did to grow your business", ultimately, "can you make it easier for me". 2) There is no one way, one answer or one method. A blueprint is exactly that, a blueprint for one person that can work perfectly but may not work at all for other people. 3) This process does not honour or value the work that another coach has done to get where they are at, and it completely takes our own growth process, experience and intuition out of the equation.

His insights have been seen on multiple social media outlets such as Facebook, Instagram and Youtube, as well as podcasts focusing on mental health, spirituality and authenticity.

In this episode, we discuss: 1) What authenticity means, how to uncover our true authentic personality and message, and how to heal the inner issues, the alter ego mask to allow our valid authentic message to be heard. 2) When the mask comes off, we are exposed, and vulnerability is a challenging and challenging experience to work through. Yet, it is also incredibly rewarding to finally allow ourselves to be seen for who we are at the core. 3) Understanding the value behind the mess in Corey's message and how his struggles provided value to others through my vulnerability, which only exposed his truth regarding being inauthentic.

In this episode, I am getting a little spicy as I talk about this fear that we have over going backwards in our life and business. We are constantly judging ourselves and comparing ourselves to others, so it gives us the vision and insight that stops and blocks us. In this episode, we discuss: 1) If we are living a story on repeat, there is no strategy that will change, fix or allow us to grow. It requires putting a spotlight on what isn't working. 2) The steps, journey and meaning of the stories only has the meaning that we give it and put on repeat. 3) "Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards." ~ Soren Kierkegaard and this quote - "Learn to see things backwards, inside out, and upside down." ~ John Heider. Don't be afraid to go backwards first to see what is not working, to heal what has to be healed and to own what you need to own in order to move forward in the most powerful way possible.

In this episode, I am getting a little spicy as I share some thoughts and perspective on the coaching industry. How coaches need to stop shaming their clients to do x,y,z or they won't be successful. I also share some tips for the client when it comes to making choices in their own business and how they can create a checklist to refer to when it comes to selecting a coach. In this episode, we discuss: 1) How coaches can stand in integrity in their business by continuing to commit to doing their own work, their own healing and then speak to their clients from that grounded space instead of from the lack, shaming and judgement space. 2) I shared some tips to creating your own checklist when it comes to choosing a coach who may expand you to step into the impact you here to create.

We can hold anxiety and happiness and how this practice is what builds resiliency within ourselves.

In this episode, we are discussing the taboo topic of shame. It is one of those topics that we need to add a voice to and as soon as we do, shame loses its power. In today's episode we are talking all about shame, how it has a power in our lives, and how when we speak about shame, give it a voice, learn how to heal it and support ourselves through the healing process we will find our way to vulnerability which can be the bridge to move to continued healing In this episode we discuss: 1) Shame stories, what we deem as shame, how it keeps us stuck and isolated, paralyzing in our lives, blocking us from people, experiences and opportunities, and how we can change this story when we embrace healing. We heal ourselves and up to 7 generations forwards and backwards. To heal our shame stories, it requires us to heal our past, our emotions, our choices, embracing forgiveness, and realizing that our stories only ever have the meaning that we give them. 2) Committing to the healing process helps us to find our voice. The more we find our voice, and use our voice the more we will trust our voice, 3) How vulnerability is a method to release shame, give shame a voice and how to determine who has earned the right to hear our stories. This is the path to connection and the people who are meant to be in our lives. 4) Brené Brown describes vulnerability as "uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure." It's that unstable feeling we get when we step out of our comfort zone or do something that forces us to loosen control. This is the path to building our connections to others.

In this episode, I am sharing one of my fav Brene Brown quotes that was a light switch for me: "If you are not in the arena getting your ass kicked on occasion, I am not interested in or open to your feedback. There are a million cheap seats in the world today filled with people who will never be brave with their own lives, but will spend every ounce of energy they have hurling advice and judgment at those of us trying to dare greatly. Their only contributions are criticism, cynicism and fear-mongering. If you're criticizing from a place where you're not also putting yourself on the line, I am not interested in your feedback." ~ Brene Brown In this episode, we discuss: 1) Are you in the arena, are you in your own arena? Where are you? Are you sitting in the cheap seats or are you on the floor? 2) Are you taking advice from people on the floor with you or are they in the cheap seats? 3) Be clear on what you value and how much stock you put in the opinions of others.

In this episode, we are discussing the taboo topic of shame. I have personally shared 4 episodes over the years on shame. It is one of those topics that we need to add a voice to and as soon as we do, shame loses it's power. In today's episode we are talking all about shame, how it has a power in our lives, and how EFT tapping is one way to release it. In this episode we discuss: 1) Humans crave security, safety and how these "feelings" come from within. 2) What shame is, the difference between shame and guilt and how paralyzing shame can be in our lives. 3) How vulnerability is a method to release shame, give shame a voice and how to determine who has earned the right to hear our stories. This is the path to connection and the people who are meant to be in our lives. 4) EFT Tapping, what it is, how it is effective in releasing anxiety, shame and I share this with the members of the Rising Leaders Collective and it is included in the Hypnosis/Subliminals Bundle below.

#386: My FAV Brene Brown QuoteIn this episode, I am sharing one of my fav Brene Brown quotes: " I now see how owning our story and loving ourselves through the process is the bravest thing that we will ever do." ~ Brene Brown In this episode, we discuss: 1) Embracing change and everything that life is trying to bring to us, yet we are blocked by our "stories" or our shame of what everyone else will think of us. 2) Ownership literally changes everything. We cannot change anything if we don't own it first and if we don't own it, it owns you. 3) Loving ourselves with compassion and grace through our difficult stories is truly the only way to live. It takes tremendous practice to learn how to do this, yet it is such a powerful lesson. 4) Learn to accept and maybe eventually love the lessons your story is teaching you. Don't make it about the trauma of the story, shift it to be about the lessons you've learned.Join the Writing Your Story Masterclass:https://www.everybodyholdsastory.com/writing-your-story-masterclass Join the Rising Leaders Collective https://marshavanw.com/rlcm Hypnosis/Subliminals Bundles for Leaders in Life and Business https://www.marshavanw.com/offers/56vXSnx9 Marsha Vanwynsberghe — Author, Speaker and Life CoachMarsha is the 6-time Bestselling Author of "When She Stopped Asking Why".

In this episode, we are discussing the idea of writing your story. This journey of writing 7 years ago and I could never have imagined it would lead to this place of helping others to learn how to share and write their stories too. So you have had this dream of becoming a published author but have no clue of where to start? Here are a few tips I wanted to share. In this episode we discuss: 1) Who is going to benefit from your story? Who are you speaking to? It actually isn't about us, that was a huge eye opener when I was writing my story. 2) Why are you being called to write? Can you write from a place of integrity about your story? What is being shared, what is off limits, what are the readers' takeaways? 3) What are the turning points in your story. This is where I was, this is what happened, and this is where I am now. Such a simple step process but that's the general breakdown. You are the hero of your own story and that is what you are being called to share. 4) Are you being called to be a collaborative author or a solo author? I have done both and am sharing some points on both.

His book, "Full Heart Living: Conversations with the Happiest People I Know," is an amazon.com bestseller. Whether counseling, writing, or teaching, his passion for helping people live their best lives flows through. In this episode we discuss: 1) Tom's life experience from trauma to triumph, what trauma can mean in the body, what triumph means and how to search for triumph every day. 2) What full heart living is, how to embrace it, be vulnerable to build connections and relationships and how all of our past stories lead us to where we are and who we are in our life today. 3) The gift of trauma, how we need to stand up for ourselves first, feel what we need to feel before we can see the situation differently. Learning to shift perspective, see the story from a different light, have compassion or empathy means allowing ourselves to feel the feelings first.

In this episode, part 5 of this series on how to heal and own your story, I am sharing some thoughts on how to own your presence and own your future. We started with owning your past, owning your emotions, owning the path to forgiveness, owning your choices and now to wrap it up it is owning your presence to own your future. In this episode we discuss:1) The most reliable way to predict the future is to create it. Learning to stay in the present moment, not spiral and focus on what you need every single day to be your best self. 2) Take a regular inventory of what you need every single day and believe in your worth to give yourself what you need to be your best self.3) Know that the big ideas that tap you on the shoulder are for you.

In this episode, part 4 of this series on how to heal and own your story, I am sharing some thoughts on how to own your choices. The irony of this topic is not lost on me, the name of this podcast is Own Your Choices Own Your Life, in case you forgot what you were listening to, and it is not ironic to me that it was the words choices, own your choices, radical responsibility that changed my life. I love that without knowing it years ago, before I had a business, that I named this podcast by this title. This is a mantra that has shifted everything for me. So far we have unpacked the process of healing and owning our past and owning our emotions, and this episode we are talking all about owning our choices. In this episode we discuss:1) What does the word owning and choices mean, how can we unpack them and see that we are and how we have living these words in our life. Words can have different meanings and depending on where we are in our journey it makes a difference. Words can be triggering or expanding and it reflects where we are in our journey. 2) By owning all of our decisions, that might feel like a lot of responsibility, but we can also take back a lot of our own personal power. Set reasonable goals, interrupt your patterns that are not serving you, flip the script, be kind and compassionate with yourself. Create a mantra to interrupt your pattern and disrupt the thought process. The faster you can catch yourself and disrupt the pattern or flip the script the faster you can create change. 3) Create a mantra to call yourself out on your own BS when you are not living up to your own choices. 4) Recognize why you are making the choices you are making. Is it to impress someone else? Is it to meet the expectations for someone else; to not disappoint someone else, as a people pleaser, or a martyr. Ask what your choice is? Allow yourself to make a decision or choice and know that you will make mistakes, but this only gives you feedback to make a different choice next time. 5) Go internally, ask if your decisions are actually moving you in the direction of what you want to create in your life?

In this episode I am sharing a coaching analogy that recently occurred. A client was asking how to overcome the hurt, anger, frustration of others' behaviours and I gave her an analogy about recognizing that everything is energy and we get to decide how much energy we give to something or someone at any point in time. The In this episode we discuss:1) Look at your energy as a piggy bank, what are your daily deposits and withdrawals, and are you doing way more withdrawals than deposits? 2) If energy is money, how much money are you spending on people, circumstances and situations that are literally bleeding your piggy bank dry? 3) What if you love your piggy bank enough to value the money (or deposits) that go in and out every single day?

It helps to share who you are, what you are creating, why it is important to you, and what legacy you are creating. So many times we forget to share these parts of ourselves with others. 2) How valuable communities are, and containers that foster community. Working through the experiences and lessons of embracing change, mindset, resilience and the concept of gratitude and abundance. 3) Learning what it is to truly be grateful, and how this is a process that comes from actually seeing both sides of the coin. Having and actually experiencing the times of not having and what that looks like. Those experiences of not having truly do show us how to be and how to practice gratitude. Abundance is also being grateful for where we are and choosing to want to build more.

In this episode I am sharing a bonus episode on the steps to healing to own your story. There were previous episodes on owning your past, your emotions and your choices and as I broke it down, it became clear that an episode on forgiveness was a must. There are a ton of definitions on forgiveness and here I am sharing messages that hit home for me and have helped me to move forward, forgive and let go. One definition of forgiveness by Iyanla Vanzant is, "Forgiveness is not forgetting; it is simply denying your pain the right to control your life." Today I want to share some points on forgiveness that literally changed my life many years ago and I still continue to use these tools today. In this episode we discuss: 1) The difference between wounds and scars and what are they doing to you, or how are they affecting you in your life? Acknowledge it to own it to change it, not to place blame on someone else. 2) "Until you heal the wounds of your past, you are going to bleed. You can bandage that bleeding with alcohol, drugs, food, unhealthy items, but eventually it will all ooze through and stain your life. You must find the strength to open the wounds up, stick your hands inside, pull out the core of the pain that is holding you in the past, the memories and make peace with them." Iyanla Vanzant. 3) Start somewhere small, identify something you have been holding onto and how that has or has not been serving you. Acknowledge, consider the hurt, the pain and look at how it has affected you in your life. Next, accept what you cannot change, and observe your own reactions to your behaviour with no judgment. Decide if you agree to forgive this person and if you are ready to move away as a victim, this situation etc? Recognize what this behaviour is doing to you and your life?4) Acknowledge your emotions about the harm done to you and how they affect your behavior, and work to release them. Ask yourself what can you learn from the experience? Literally let it go, through subliminal, NLP tools or subconscious reprogramming, this requires healing, and mantras to disrupt your pattern that isn't serving you and is allowing you to hold onto this energy. How can you repair this situation, circumstance and not let it hold you back? 5) Give yourself grace, compassion and respect that every single relationship is a reflection of your relationship with yourself. You go first. Repair, learn, forgive, and continue to rinse and repeat as much as necessary.

In this episode I am sharing a quick episode on one of my favourite quotes by Joseph Campbell. "The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek." You are holding the key, even though or especially when it doesn't feel like you do. You hold the keys. Now ask yourself if you are willing to use them? The In this episode we discuss:1) What are you avoiding? Money, relationships, things you know aren't working for you? I like to look at that as a cave. Sometimes we can hate entering that cave every single day, and those days we have to sit back and remind ourselves that we have the keys. We are either freeing ourselves or locking ourselves in the cave. 2) The courage we are looking for comes from entering the cave. That simple, Do the thing and build your courage every time you enter the cave. Even standing and staring at the cave is wasting energy. The very cave you are afraid to enter turns out to be the source of what you are looking for.3) "We must be willing to let go of the life we planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us."

In this episode, part 2 of this series on how to heal and own your story, I am sharing some thoughts on how to own your emotions. There is a big distinction here between the words of owning and controlling your emotions. I never love the word controlling, we aren't robots, we are feeling, moving, emotional human beings. I think we can identify, break down and take responsibility for our emotions. This process requires curiosity, listening, not judging, not resenting, acceptance, empathy, compassion and understanding. Learning how to own our emotions, our responses, our triggers is one key way in how we can change how we respond instead of reacting towards different experiences that trigger these emotions. In this episode:1) Learning how to identify your emotions, what your triggers, patterns and responses are can teach you a lot about yourself. Learning how to recognize your emotional patterns, what you are feeling and not focusing on controlling it, and Identifying these feelings, getting curious, journaling and unpacking them is how you can learn to heal and change these responses. 2) By approaching your emotions with curiosity, empathy, and acceptance, you can shift the focus from criticizing yourself or building a case against someone else to understanding yourself and taking actions that are more in line with what you want, thereby recognizing you have more power in your life than you think. 3) Own and take responsibility for your feelings, and when you are learning to speak or communicate them with others, learn to speak in the first person, not in a defensive manner of what others are doing wrong. Blaming others is projecting responsibility on other people. This does not lead to change. 4) If you have been told to continuously bury your emotions, suck it up, throw it under the rug, and stop complaining, this can be a really difficult process for you to work through. Suppression does not work, it is a band aid approach that does not lead to lasting change. Looking for professional help can be a huge source of support. Also the power of subconscious reprogramming can help to heal limiting thoughts, behaviours in order to change them moving forward.

In this episode I am sharing a really quick episode on a quote that recently hit home for me. The quote was by Brad Bizjack and he said, "There are people in your life who will not become the best version of themselves until you decide to become the best version of yourself" So after reading that quote, let yourself imagine who is waiting for you to go first? In this episode we discuss:1) What if the people we can impact the most and the people who can impact our life the most are the people we haven't met yet. That shifts our mindset for how we show up. Even when it comes to posting on social media, I send that post out and bless and release it, knowing it will support the people it is meant to. 2) How do you need to go first? What is working, what is not working? How can you look back and see how this has proven true in your life? 3) What are you waiting for?

In this episode I am sharing some thoughts on how to own your past. This may seem counterproductive since we are always told to stay in the present moment, but have you ever thought about how much energy, time, thoughts, are spent replaying your past? It is not as simple as just moving forward or ignoring those feelings that are wrapped up in your past stories. We have all spent years pushing things under the rug and we know that doesn't work. What if instead we learn how to own our past and spend the time healing it in order to bring out our best self forward into our future? In this episode we discuss:1) Our current life is a result of all of our past actions, choices, and experiences and our future is determined by the meaning of those stories, how we act in the present moment and not letting it define us in the future. 2) Perspective is everything. The story only has the meaning that you give it and learning to remain more neutral, more forgiving as opposed to judging your past, will help to put it all into perspective. 3) Where can you acknowledge and accept the past you cannot change. This is the serenity prayer in that serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. This is where perspective can improve from, recognizing what we can control. Where can you forgive yourself or others for what your past stories are? 4) With perspective, acknowledgment, acceptance, forgiveness, surrender and owning what was yours to control, you will be able to see how life has happened to help you become who you are today. If you don't own it it owns you. 5) NLP techniques and subconscious reprogramming is one key tool to heal your limiting beliefs, from hypnosis, subliminals, EFT Tapping and other NLP techniques it will help you to heal and own your past stories.

In this episode I am sharing 4 tips to improve your ability to receive. Everyone wants to increase their feelings of abundance, increase their wealth, financial freedom, yet without the ability to receive what is already available in front of us, we will never hold more abundance. Receiving and giving are two sides of the same coin, and for many giving is easier than receiving. Today I want to share the 4 key steps to receiving. In this episode we discuss:1) Identifying the 4 blocks, people pleaser, hider, fighter or victim, and unpacking our responses, triggers and how this shows up in our lives. Working through the NLP techniques, this requires healing this story and then shifting to seeing it all differently. I invite you to take the Story Blocks Quiz, https://www.marshavanw.com/story-blocks 2) Identify what receiving means to you? Do you see that as a sign of weakness to ask for help? Are you judging yourself for asking for help? If you receive help does it mean that you can't do it yourself? And does that interfere with your belief about independence? Be honest and break down the meaning of the word receiving, and how would your life change if you changed the definition of the word receiving? 3) Practice every single day starting with the small things, when someone compliments you, says thank you and means it. Don't deflect, push it away or throw back a compliment to take the attention off of you, practice receiving it. 4) Let go of judgements, and give freely with no attachments or expectations of what you want or expect to receive. The attachments or expectations only hurt you and block you from receiving what is available for you. 5) Identify your own self-worth stories, opinions or limitations because this is holding you back more than you may realize. Receiving takes practice, consistency, repetition and NLP subconscious pre-programming tools. Wherever you are blocking yourself in one area, you are blocking yourself in all areas of receiving. This requires you to practice being present, recognizing your default patterns, Join the Rising Leaders Collectivehttps://marshavanw.com/rlcmDisrupt Your Default Patterns (10 day program starting in early March)https://www.marshavanw.com/offers/5zycUk2V Marsha Vanwynsberghe — Author, Speaker and Life CoachMarsha is the 6-time Bestselling Author of "When She Stopped Asking Why".

Today we are speaking with Author Peyton Garland. Peyton is a writer, wanna-be rapper, and coffee shop hopper who loves connecting people to a grace much bigger than expected. Her debut book, Not so by Myself, was promoted by Former White House Press Secretary Dana Perino and endorsed by TED Talk speaker and creator of the More Love Letters movement, Hannah Brencher. She lives in Colorado with her husband, Josh (JG), and their two gremlin dogs, Alfie and Daisy.In this episode we discuss: 1) The shift from perfection to grace and how this was initiated by a good friend who gave Peyton permission to ask for help and support which led to 3 different diagnosis from a mental health professional. This opened the door to letting go of bitterness and perfectionism which led to embracing the term grace. 2) We spoke about shame, the weight of it, how to shift from it and the doors it opened in Peyton's life when she learned to shift from perfection to grace. 3) The power of holding the door open for the people behind you. Once you have learned the lessons, they have changed your life, learning how to pay that forward to impact others, shorten their learning curve and be a source of support is how we can continue to hold that door open for others.

In this episode I am sharing the concepts of recognizing our default patterns. These are the deep patterns, shadows or limiting beliefs that we have held onto for years. Most of these default patterns might help to keep us safe especially if we came through times of trauma and these were our methods of protecting ourselves. These patterns protect us during times of stress but there comes a point where it doesn't help us in our current lives and we aren't living under that same trauma, so we don't need these behaviours. It is also understanding the power of our limiting beliefs and how they spill into all areas of our lives and we can't outwork or outmuscle our limiting beliefs. It involves recognizing the repeat patterns, learning from them and then creating an opposite choice or decision.In this episode we discuss:1) Identifying the 4 blocks, people pleaser, hider, fighter or victim, and unpacking our responses, triggers and how this shows up in our lives. Working through the NLP techniques, this requires healing this story and then shifting to seeing it all differently. This is the power to disrupt our patterns in order to change our responses. I invite you to take the Story Blocks Quiz, https://www.marshavanw.com/story-blocks 2) The shadows and patterns never go away. Our reaction to them changes. It's important to recognize that shadows will always continue to be present, and to not resist them. When we resist them we judge them and that only keeps us stuck in this downward spiral. 3) In order to consciously change your conscious behaviours or patterns, it starts by healing the subconscious mind first and recognizing that it is part of you. Instead of fighting and resisting it, recognize those patterns as an old friend who was simply trying to keep you safe.

In this episode I am sharing the concepts of can you show up when no one is there to cheer you on? Can you show up for 1 person and hold space when you truly were hoping for 10? We must grow into the capacity to hold space for others whether it is in life or business. This ties into the message that we have to follow our gut, our dreams and our desires long before we see them come to life. In this episode we discuss:1) Can you first show up for yourself every day to follow your dreams and desires? When the vision drops or the dream is tapped on your shoulder, can you follow through when there's no proof of what it will look like or unfold? This is how the podcast and my book started, following up on the mission I was meant to create, with no clue how it would unfold. 2) What do you do when no one shows up, no one is supporting you, or it feels like no one is believing in you? Can you show up in those times? 3) The importance of being neutral, not letting the highs be too high and not letting the no's be too low. The story only ever has the meaning that we give it so it is up to us to decide what meaning we are giving it. This work is done by recognizing our default patterns.

Today we are speaking with Author and Addictions expert, John Giordano. John has gone through incredible life transformation, from the stigma of childhood sexual abuse, homelessness and severe addiction to being a renowned addiction expert with 36 years of sobriety. He started his own holistic treatment center with only $300 which he eventually sold for $45,000,000. Currently he is a published author of 3 books, including his latest book 'The Kid From The South Bronx Who Never Gave Up' and is the Chaplain for the North Miami Police Department. In this episode we discuss: 1) Why there is only a 5-8% recovery rate for the typical addiction treatment programs. John breaks down lots of details on the current models and why he created a different recovery model that didn't exist at the time. 2) TRT, Trauma Release Technique, that John created to help support people through their traumas to create long lasting change. 3) The resilience factor and how no matter how many challenges John faced, he chose to never give up. His mission and purpose became so much larger than him and he continued to set out to support others in dealing with their addictions.

In this episode I am talking about perfectionism and how it is a 20 ton block that we hold onto to keep ourselves "safe, protected and we believe unaffected by the potential opinions and judgements of others." As Brene Brown says, "If I look perfect, live perfect, work perfect, I can avoid or minimize criticism or blame." Perfectionism is a learned behaviour that typically comes from childhood and a lot of times it is a block that we use to keep ourselves from being hurt, yet all it is doing is keeping us from being seen. In this episode we discuss: 1) I am a recovering perfectionist and perfectionism/fighter is one of the 4 blocks I refer to when it comes to owning our stories. The others are victim, hider and people pleaser. If you want to take the free Blocks to Owning Your Story Quiz, https://www.marshavanw.com/story-blocks2) I used to wear perfectionism as a badge of honour, thinking it was because I was a striver, I worked hard, I had a level of excellence that I expected of myself. When actually healthy striving is self-focused in "how can I improve", whereas perfectionism is other focused, "what will they think"? I wanted others to see that I could do x,y,z, and it also allowed me to fly under the radar from a young age, and not be the source of issues, problems, or growing up long before I needed to. I thought this pressure was helping me and it did for many reasons, until it didn't. 3) This became a very self-destructive pattern of behaviour that literally blew up once we started dealing with teen substance abuse and I was living the complete opposite of a perfect life. "When perfectionism is driving us, then shame is riding shotgun and fear is that annoying backseat driver." Brene Brown. I was living in shame, feeling not good enough, feeling that I didn't want to be seen, yet all I deeply craved was connection and being seen. 4) This pattern went on repeat until I couldn't do it any longer. It no longer worked and I was blocking myself from being seen, from receiving support, from connection, from the people who have since impacted my life, and from setting up for the work I am doing now. I learned how to shift this through the writing process. There are no authors published who are perfectionists, it's not doable. As soon as I set down my shield, I was able to live my life, truly live it. I am not sure where I would be if I didn't because the research shows that perfectionism is the path to depression, anxiety, addiction and life paralysis.

In this episode I am sharing the concepts of learning to hold more and not carry in. This concept hit me when I was working through some negative feedback, challenging dm's, people asking for support and so much doubt about how to show up. I have spent the last 9 months learning more about my human design, and how as a sacral generator, my authority is to respond when I feel the pull. This does not mean that I react to everything around me, but more that I have learned how to respond in a way that respects my boundaries and energy. In this episode we discuss:1) The duality of emotions that we all carry every single day. For years I would swing back and forth in between the highs and lows, almost letting the highs be too high and the lows be too low. I have learned how to become more neutral in my energy and reactions. Since the stories only have the meaning we give it, this is the same message. 2) I wanted to share the concept of learning to hold more yet not carry it. When we hold the energy, emotions and our meaning or perception of these emotions, we are allowing ourselves to continue to grow. When we carry all of it and let it weigh us down, it can become a heaviness that actually holds us down and keeps us stuck, because we lose that line of what is ours to carry. 3) When we carry things that aren't ours to carry, one of two things happens. We deplete ourselves of all of the energy that we can be using to create change in our lives. Secondly, when we carry the emotions of others, we are not allowing them to carry it and that leads to nothing changing. 4) Picture carrying a backpack and take a really close look as to what is in that backpack and ask yourself if you are carrying things that aren't yours to carry? From guilt, shame, frustration, judgment, fear, or whatever negative emotions you are carrying, it is affecting your ability to create change in your life.

Today we are speaking with Men's Guide and Facilitator, Paul Simard. Paul is a TEDx Speaker (The Mythical Man), and a trained mental wellness and small-group facilitator, as well as a coach focusing on men and couples, as well as small-to-medium sized organizations. He is the founder of huMENity, a peer-driven support community that encourages men to connect more deeply with their emotional and physical selves, as well as a facilitator and men's coach. His work focuses on men of all ages, in small group work as well as one-on-one coaching. He uses a variety of tools in order to create safe spaces for participants to move through a range of experiences, from stress and anxiety to addiction, abuse and trauma. His primary goal is to help participants to create a deeper sense of alignment within in order to set the foundation for more empowering and fruitful relationships, whether that is at home, in the community or in the workplace. He is also the author of many articles on mental wellness, masculinity/femininity and leadership, and has been a guest on multiple podcasts and at several speaking events. In this episode we discussed: 1) The guideposts for his work as a Men's Guide and Facilitator are remembering and permission. Remembering that you matter, giving grace towards yourself, and permission to explore more of what you may want, exploring what you are feeling and using these two pillars as guide rails in the growth journey. 2) The messaging around shame, vulnerability, being open, blame, discomfort and it all intertwines in our relationships and experiences as humans. 3) How as women we can create an environment that is more conducive and open for men to share their experiences and emotions. This is important not just for our significant others, but also as a mom of 2 boys, I found this to be incredibly important to embrace the terms modelling and letting go. Letting go, meaning letting our boys have the opportunity to learn from their choices in life as opposed to micromanaging everything as a parent.

In this episode, I want to share some thoughts on the difference between standing IN vs standing ON your story. This is a powerful shift that I learned a number of years ago and I am so grateful to share it with you today in hopes that it will inspire a shift in your story and journey. In this episode we discuss:1) What does it mean to stand IN your story, how you show up, where your energy goes, and how you may be feeling perpetually stuck in your story and not feeling any hope for change. I also share the difference of standing ON your story and a few key shifts for how you can make that happen, even if it feels like you can't, I promise you you can. 2) The role of shame, secrecy, armour and fear of judgement in you feeling stuck inside your story and a few things you can do to shift that. 3) The ripple effect and how it can be way bigger than you could ever imagine, and how actually your pain (when you choose to face it to change it) can actually become part of your purpose.

These lessons at this time in our world are so important for kids to find and create that inner safety within themselves. 2) How much of a gift vulnerability is and what we can experience when we learn to put the armour down, even when it is scary, and learning how to put the armour down with the people that we trust and the people who have earned the right to hear our stories. 3) The difference between being in our stories and in our stories and learning how to let go of shame, stories that don't serve us, being connected to our why's and the power of allowing ourselves to simply be in this present moment.

In the 4th part of this series on values we are going to look at the gaps of what you say is important, if it truly is and how to bridge the gap. It's not about picking the core values that "sound good or make you look good", it is about picking the core values that are actually who you are at the core. This is how we set ourselves up for success especially when it comes down to making decisions in our life and business. Our core values define who you are, what you stand for and if you actually walk your talk. Your limiting beliefs determine if you actually live by those core values. Our negative core beliefs are incredibly important and powerful in creating our limitations and ultimately our reality. In this episode we discuss: 1) As we increase our self-awareness to understand and live in our core values, we may identify a number of our own negative core beliefs and can often link them to our experiences. They can usually, however, be distilled down to two common examples: I am not good enough or worthy, or I am broken and this is what I deserve. Once these core beliefs are formed, they bed in. The human mind likes, above most things, to be right. We spend time looking for evidence in all situations that supports them. We reinforce them over and over. If we have spent our life believing in these limitations, our subconscious mind will constantly search everywhere for proof of these beliefs. 2) Re-writing our core values must include changing these limiting beliefs. Address them, call them out, painting the grim picture of what it looks like if you don't change these limiting beliefs for months, or years. Who do you not help? What gifts do you not use? What is your level of fulfillment? Then asking if you are ready to change these limiting beliefs and then re-writing these beliefs in a new format. 3) Looking at your core values, what does it feel like in your cells as you look at these words? What emotions does it bring up? What is your belief level of bringing these visions to life and living by your core values? 4) Rewriting your limiting beliefs as mantras, and surrounding yourself with them everywhere. If this is completely new for you, give yourself some grace and compassion and set yourself up for success. Rewriting these core values in a script format is how it all changes.
