In this episode, I share thoughts on perception and how our brains filter the overwhelming amount of information we encounter daily. I start by expressing my gratitude to listeners for their support and shares, emphasizing the importance of being open to new perspectives and solutions that may be hidden from our view. I introduce the idea that we are not seeing reality as it truly is; instead, we only perceive what we are programmed to look for. With our brains processing 11 million bits of information every second, our conscious minds can only handle about 40 to 50 bits at a time. This means that what we consciously perceive is merely a fraction—0.0004%—of the reality around us. I explain how our brains delete, distort, and generalize information based on our beliefs and focus, which can significantly limit our understanding of the wrld.

In this episode, I am connecting with Tesa Arcilla. Tesa has never taken the conventional route—personally or professionally. A journalist by training and driven by an insatiable curiosity, she has lived and worked across multiple continents, carving out a career that defies easy labels. From live broadcasts at NBC and CBC to moderating high-stakes political debates for Euronews and the European Commission, she has spent over 20 years asking the tough questions, navigating complex global issues, and making sense of the world's turning points. But beyond the newsrooms and international assignments, Tesa's journey has been defined by bold choices—moving across the world for love, walking away from established career paths, and constantly reinventing herself. She understands what it means to take a leap into the unknown, to bet on yourself even when the path isn't clear, and to thrive outside the traditional mould. Now, she helps others do the same—own their voice, build influence with authenticity, and turn their expertise into impact—without the 'cringe' of self-promotion. As the host of Choices & Chances, she dives into the defining decisions that shape lives and careers, helping others embrace uncertainty, make bold moves, and step fully into their potential. Whether on stage, moderating a panel, or mentoring thought leaders, Tesa brings a sharp mind, a global perspective, and a passion for real, unfiltered conversations that challenge, inspire, and drive action. Because in the end, life isn't about playing it safe—it's about making the choices that create the chances we truly want.

In this episode, I ask the question, "Can you hold a vision when you can't see it yet?" I challenge the notion that we must wait for tangible evidence, like a certain bank balance or a fully booked calendar, before we can embody the person capable of achieving our dreams. We must first become that person internally to sustain the success we desire. Drawing from my personal experience, I recount my journey from being a kinesiologist for 27 years to embracing my calling as a coach. In 2019, I felt an unshakeable intuition that I would transition into coaching, despite not having a clear plan or business. Through continuous challenges and roadblocks, I continued to write and trust that I was being guided toward something greater.

In this episode, I am sharing about the unexpected ways in which our desires manifest. I want to keep it real and share my insights on how asking the universe for something big often leads to challenges and discomfort rather than immediate fulfillment. I begin by discussing the concept of expansion and contraction, emphasizing that when we seek growth, whether it's in our personal lives, careers, or finances, we often encounter obstacles that feel like setbacks. I share my own journey of asking for expansion this year, only to face a series of personal and professional challenges that left me feeling like I was experiencing the opposite of what I desired. In one example, I share how my husband's injury during a crucial competition I illustrate how life can throw us curveballs just when we think we're on the right path. I reflect on the emotional turmoil that comes with these experiences and how they serve as lessons to help us grow into the versions of ourselves that can truly hold our dreams.

In this episode, I share some thoughts on how self-sabotage is not merely a sign of weakness or failure, but rather a form of self-protection driven by our subconscious mind. When we find ourselves on the brink of progress, it's common to experience a pullback into old patterns. I want to help you understand why this happens. I challenge the traditional narrative around self-sabotage by encouraging listeners to ask more empowering questions. Instead of questioning, "Why am I doing this?"—which can lead to feelings of shame—I suggest we ask, "What is my subconscious trying to tell me?" This shift in perspective allows us to uncover the limiting beliefs that often disguise themselves as self-sabotage. HIGHLIGHTS 00:00:01 - Introduction to Self-Sabotage 00:00:33 - Understanding Self-Sabotage as Self-Protection 00:01:16 - Identifying Limiting Beliefs 00:02:40 - The Role of Effort and Patterns 00:03:40 - The Positive Intention Behind Behaviors 00:04:49 - Personal Experience with Self-Sabotage 00:06:03 - The Signal of Self-Sabotage 00:07:20 - Growth Through Evidence 00:08:55 - Launching New Programs 00:09:05 - Questions to Uncover Limiting Beliefs 00:10:30 - Reframing Negative Thoughts 00:12:37 - Visualizing Success 00:14:04 - Building Self-Trust 00:15:50 - Embracing Growth and Discomfort Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Download "You Are Supported" Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in March 2025) HERE Learn more about changing the Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program HERE.

In this episode, I share some thoughts on doubt and how much space it takes up in our lives. Doubt can occupy a significant portion of our lives, often overshadowing our sense of certainty and self-confidence. This episode emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and regulating our emotions, particularly doubt, which can feel like a volcano ready to erupt. I share personal anecdotes about my journey, illustrating that even when it seems like others have it all together, they, too, grapple with similar feelings of uncertainty.

In this episode, I speak with Virginia Ehrlich. Virginia is the owner and founder of Acre75 Gathered, a Canadian subscription box dedicated to supporting small-town economies and the businesses that sustain them. Every item we feature in our seasonal boxes is made or designed in a small town in Canada with fewer than 30,000 residents. Virginia embodies the spirit of small towns, big dreams. As the founder and owner of Acre75 Gathered, a Canadian subscription box dedicated to supporting small town economies, she has partnered with over 150 small businesses since launching in 2017—infusing nearly $1,000,000 into local communities across the country. The power of self-compassion has deeply shaped her journey as an e-commerce entrepreneur, and she's now on a mission to encourage others to extend that same grace and love to themselves as they pursue their own dreams.

In this episode, I am sharing the message of being "cracked open" by life's challenges and how these moments can lead to personal growth and clarity. I begin by sharing a powerful quote from Rebecca Campbell's book, "Light is the New Black," which emphasizes the importance of embracing the things that break us down, as they ultimately allow the light to shine through. This is a personal episode as I share the story of my husband, Brad, a Master's Olympic lifter, who faced a serious injury during a competition. As he set national records, he suffered a painful elbow injury that required immediate medical attention. This situation forced us to navigate a whirlwind of emotions and decisions, all while managing the urgency of his condition and the pressures of our personal and professional lives. Throughout the episode, I reflect on the overwhelming nature of life when it feels like everything is happening at once. I discuss how, in these moments, we often find ourselves stuck in overthinking and fear, but I emphasize the importance of trusting our bodies and instincts to guide us through tough decisions. I share how I learned to pause, breathe, and listen to my inner voice, which often knows the answers we seek, even when our minds are racing.

In this episode, I share my thoughts on the concept of readiness and how it is a lie. I challenge the notion that we must feel 100% ready before starting new ventures. Drawing from personal experiences, I emphasize that readiness often results from taking the leap, not a prerequisite. I encourage listeners to reflect on their own lives and consider times when they felt prepared entirely—chances are, those moments are few and far between. I also touch on the significance of identity work, urging listeners to envision the person they aspire to be and to act as if they are already that person. By shifting our mindset and embodying the qualities of our future selves, we can break free from the constraints of waiting for readiness. I provide practical steps for listeners to visualize their goals and take immediate action, regardless of their current feelings of preparedness. HIGHLIGHTS 00:01:06 - The Myth of Being Ready 00:02:54 - Navigating Feelings of Unreadiness 00:04:10 - Listening to Your Inner Nudges 00:05:14 - Identity Work and Taking Action 00:06:37 - The Reality of Fear and Excitement 00:07:32 - Serving Your Audience Regardless of Size 00:09:10 - Shifting Your Mindset 00:10:56 - The Importance of Action Over Perfection 00:12:24 - Future Pacing and Visualization 00:14:45 - Deciding to Be Ready 00:16:00 - Building Confidence Through Action Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Download "You Are Supported" Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in March 2025) HERE Learn more about changing the Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program HERE.

In this episode, I connect with Rebecca Ogilvie. Rebecca is a Mother, entrepreneur, and advocate for women's empowerment. She believes life keeps getting better and is passionate about helping women create a life they love. Her journey began with her transformation. After years of prioritizing others, she reconnected with herself through small, intentional rituals—starting with skincare. That experience shaped her mission: to help women see their strengths, celebrate themselves, and embrace self-care as an act of self-respect. Through her skincare brand, The Detour Co, Rebecca reminds women that they matter. Her mission goes beyond skincare—it's about guiding women back to themselves so they can live radiant, confident lives.

In this episode, I highlight the importance of awareness in recognizing these limiting beliefs. I discuss how our subconscious can drive us back to familiar patterns, often leading to self-sabotage. I encourage listeners to confront these thoughts and reframe them, asking themselves whether they are valid. Doing so can interrupt the negative loops that keep us from reaching our full potential. Things can become easier, but they never truly become easy. As we grow, we often confront subconscious beliefs that can hinder our progress. I candidly share my experiences of feeling nervous and self-doubting as I expand my offerings, particularly with the launch of my Master Practitioner program in NLP. This new venture felt daunting, and I found myself fighting with old narratives about success and worthiness, and the last year has been feeling all the discomfort of growth, even though it doesn't mean that I can't do it, it is just new and expansive and your nervous system has to learn how to hold your new growth.

In this episode, I explore how we can shift our mindset from feeling like an imposter to embracing our authority. I start by posing a thought-provoking question: How would you like to perceive imposter syndrome differently? I emphasize that authority doesn't have to be a triggering term; it can simply mean owning your life and your message. Throughout the episode, I discuss the common reasons behind imposter syndrome, such as caring deeply about our work and comparing ourselves to others who seem more experienced. I highlight the importance of recognizing that we often compare our beginning to someone else's middle or end, which can lead to feelings of inadequacy.

In this episode, I dive into how big you allow yourself to dream. Where do you see yourself in two to three years? Will you live your dream, or will you still be in the planning, thinking, or avoiding phases? Throughout the episode, I emphasize the role of our subconscious mind in shaping our beliefs and goals. Many people settle for comfortable and familiar aspirations, but I urge you to break free from that mindset. By examining your past achievements and recognizing how far you've come, you can begin to dream beyond what you think is possible.

In this episode, I share some stats about the sheer volume of daily thoughts—between 60,000 and 80,000, with a staggering 80-90% being repetitive and predominantly negative. This repetition can create thick neural pathways in our brains, reinforcing doubts, fears and limiting beliefs. I use a vivid analogy comparing our thoughts to a hairdryer cord, illustrating how negative thoughts can become strong and durable while positive thoughts often remain fragile and underdeveloped. Throughout the episode, I encourage listeners to recognize the power of their language and internal dialogue. I challenge them to identify the negative beliefs they may be reinforcing and to consciously work on building new, empowering thoughts. I emphasize that change is possible and that we can create new neural pathways through repetition and intention. The metaphor of a string vs a hairdryer cord landed visually, and I knew I wanted to share it!

In this episode, I share the idea that judgment acts as a mirror, reflecting our internal beliefs and feelings. We all have our own internal representation of the world, and each person perceives the world through a unique lens shaped by experiences, values, and emotions. This leads to the realization that trying to change someone else's perspective can be a waste of energy, as they are likely operating from their own internal map of the world. The judgments we fear from others often stem from our self-judgment. Judgment can trigger unresolved beliefs within us, and I emphasize the importance of self-compassion and forgiveness in overcoming these feelings. Reframing our triggers and approaching others with curiosity instead of criticism can foster empathy and understanding. HIGHLIGHTS 00:01:00 - The Nature of Internal Representation 00:02:00 - The Futility of Changing Perspectives 00:03:00 - A Mother's Unimaginable Experience 00:04:00 - The Impact of Negative Comments 00:05:00 - Personal Reflection on Judgment 00:06:00 - The Fear of Judgment 00:07:00 - Judgment as a Mirror 00:08:00 - Perception is Projection 00:09:00 - The Work of Self-Forgiveness 00:10:00 - Reframing Judgment to Compassion 00:11:00 - Empathy vs. Sympathy 00:12:00 - The Power of Compassion 00:13:00 - Recognizing Common Emotions 00:14:00 - Holding Space for Others 00:15:00 - Avoiding the 1% of Negativity 00:16:00 - The Importance of Inner Work Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Download "You Are Supported" Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in March 2025) HERE Learn more about changing the Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program HERE.

In this episode, I'm sharing the importance of challenging our thoughts and the profound impact they can have on our lives. We are not our thoughts; we are human beings experiencing thoughts. With an astonishing 60,000 to 80,000 thoughts racing through our minds each day—most of which are negative and repetitive—it's crucial to recognize that these thoughts are not facts. They are merely programming we have internalized over the years, often without even realizing it. Throughout the episode, I challenge listeners to confront their inner dialogue. I ask, "Why do we accept our thoughts as truth?" Many of us would never allow others to speak to us how we often speak. I share a personal anecdote about a limiting belief I held for years, which was not even my own, illustrating how easily we can adopt narratives that do not serve us.

Together, Renée and Marsha discuss how true transformation comes not from the highlights but from the uncomfortable, unseen work that nobody posts about online. Marsha shares her own journey of navigating challenges, reprogramming limiting beliefs, and the power of self-leadership. Plus, audience questions bring even more depth to this powerful conversation.

In today's episode, I reflect on recent experiences with clients who have faced toxic coaching situations in the past, emphasizing that coaching should not simply provide answers or only focus on the client's goals, instead can they help clients uncover the underlying barriers that prevent them from reaching their goals. I share my belief that strategy constitutes only 5% of the equation, while subconscious work—addressing limiting beliefs and emotional blocks—makes up the remaining 95%. Throughout the episode, I stress the significance of getting to the root of why individuals feel stuck or engage in self-sabotage. So many clients are unaware of the deeper reasons behind their behaviors, which are often buried in their subconscious. By employing techniques such as FLIP The Script Techniques and asking subconscious questions, we can uncover these hidden beliefs and reframe them to create lasting change.

In this special Friday episode of "Own Your Choices, Own Your Life," I take a moment to reflect on my recent milestone—turning 55 years old. As I celebrate this significant birthday, I want to share the lessons I've learned throughout my journey, particularly the transformative mindset shifts that have shaped my life and business. As I just turned 55, I share how this age feels like a new beginning.

This journey has been deeply personal and powerful, leading to significant growth in both my life and business. I emphasize the significance of identity shifts and the need to let go of old stories that no longer serve us. I share how my understanding of success has evolved, allowing me to build a business that honors my values of health and relationships.

In this episode, I explore a topic that resonates with many: the prison of our thoughts. Reflecting on my experiences, I aim to create a space for authenticity and vulnerability, sharing insights to help listeners navigate their mental landscapes. I begin by acknowledging the overwhelming nature of our thoughts and how they can sometimes feel like a cage, trapping us in limiting beliefs and fears. I encourage listeners to recognize that these thoughts do not define them; they are merely thoughts that can be changed. By understanding that we are not our thoughts, we can break down the mental barriers we've unconsciously built over time.

In this episode, I explore identity and its crucial role in personal growth and transformation. I share that transitioning to a new identity can be uncomfortable and chaotic. It's normal to feel like you're in a state of flux, especially when you're not quite who you used to be, nor fully who you're becoming. I share my experiences of navigating this in-between phase, particularly in my journey toward publishing books. This process started as an idea and has required significant effort and adaptation. Throughout the episode, I highlight the importance of language and mindset. I discuss how our subconscious mind prefers familiarity and safety, often resisting change even when necessary for growth. This resistance can manifest as self-doubt and imposter syndrome, creating a tug-of-war between our past and future selves.

During a recent live podcast recording, we discussed limiting beliefs and how they can hold us back. I shared my belief that we should focus on building a relationship with them rather than trying to eliminate these beliefs. Our subconscious mind's primary job is to keep us safe, and often, it clings to outdated beliefs that no longer serve us. I likened this to cleaning out a cluttered closet filled with clothes we no longer wear—much like our minds can be filled with old thoughts and stories that don't represent who we are today. As we approach spring, I encouraged listeners to reflect on their "closets"—the beliefs and thoughts that take up mental space but no longer fit who they are. I emphasized the importance of recognizing these limiting beliefs, understanding their origins, and ultimately releasing them to make room for new, empowering beliefs that align with our current selves and future aspirations.

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

In this episode, I share the topic of emotional regulation and its massiveimpact on entrepreneurship. As I reflect on the five-year anniversary of my transition from a 27-year career to the online business world, I share insights that I wish I had learned much earlier in my journey. Emotional regulation, along with nervous system regulation and subconscious reprogramming, is not just beneficial but essential for sustainable business growth. There's a huge difference between reacting and responding to situations. I emphasize that reacting is often an impulsive outburst driven by external stimuli, while responding involves a conscious choice that conserves energy and establishes boundaries. Mastering emotional regulation can lead to less stress, more ease, and a greater impact in our businesses, and is something I wish I had been open to learning earlier in my entrepreneurial journey.

In this episode, I dive into a powerful question: "Can you feel it before you have it?" This inquiry transcends the realm of wealth and touches on various aspects of our lives, including confidence and abundance. Drawing from my personal experiences, I share a moment from a recent panel discussion on wealth, where I confronted my own feelings of lack amidst a challenging time, including the loss of my mother-in-law. I reflect on how wealth is often perceived solely in terms of money, yet I emphasize that true wealth encompasses much more. I challenge the audience to consider whether they can feel wealth even when their bank accounts don't reflect it or when they face rejection and negativity. By anchoring ourselves in the feelings of wealth and abundance, we can train our brains to recognize and accept these emotions as part of our reality, even before they manifest in our lives. I share practical strategies for shifting our mindset from lack to abundance, including the practice of "stacking the wins" and anchoring positive feelings in our bodies. HIGHLIGHTS 00:00:00 - Introduction: Can You Feel It Before You Have It? 00:01:00 - Personal Experience with Wealth and Abundance 00:02:00 - The Importance of Mindset in Feeling Wealth 00:03:00 - The Disconnect Between Money and Feeling Wealthy 00:04:00 - Shifting from Lack to Abundance 00:05:00 - Stacking Wins: Anchoring Positive Feelings 00:06:00 - Acting as If: Embodying the Energy of Wealth 00:07:00 - Becoming the Proof: Transformational Mindset 00:08:00 - Conclusion: Training Your Brain for Abundance Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Download "You Are Supported" Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in March 2025) HERE Learn more about changing the Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program HERE.

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

In this episode, I share the concept of "anchors," a powerful technique from Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). Have you ever tried to push through resistance only to feel disconnected and unnatural? This struggle often stems from limiting beliefs and ingrained strategies that dictate our actions. Just like baking a cake requires a specific order of operations, so does our approach to personal growth. Anchoring allows us to evoke and harness positive emotions—such as confidence, gratitude, and joy—by consciously recalling specific experiences. However, we often anchor negative emotions without realizing it, creating patterns that can hinder our progress. For instance, a simple phone call about finances can trigger a visceral response, anchoring feelings of stress and overwhelm. In the episode, I share this client's transformation using Chaining Anchors. Not only did she feel lighter and more confident, but she also began to show up differently in her business, embracing opportunities she previously shied away from. HIGHLIGHTS 00:01:00 - Understanding Anchors 00:02:00 - The Power of Positive Anchoring 00:03:00 - Negative Anchors and Their Impact 00:04:00 - Chaining Anchors Technique 00:05:30 - Case Study: Overcoming Overwhelm 00:07:00 - The Subconscious Mind's Role 00:08:30 - Visible Transformation 00:10:00 - The Importance of Subconscious Work 00:11:30 - Outspoken Coaching Certification 00:13:00 - Cost of Not Rewiring Patterns 00:14:30 - Invitation to Engage 00:15:00 - Closing Thoughts and Gratitude Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Download "You Are Supported" Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in March 2025) HERE Learn more about changing the Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program HERE.

In this episode, I take a moment to reflect on the significance of International Women's Day, which is just around the corner. I share my personal journey of understanding and embracing this day, a realization that only came to me about a decade ago. The history of International Women's Day is rich and profound, and I emphasize the importance of women supporting one another—a theme that resonates deeply with me. Together, we rise, and together, we can create a powerful community of support and empowerment. Happy International Women's Day to all the incredible women out there!

In this episode, I share the concept of identity and its critical role in facilitating lasting change, particularly through the lens of neurolinguistic programming (NLP). I share insights from my experiences with clients in various coaching settings, emphasizing that true transformation occurs at the identity level. I talk about the destruction before creation, explaining that letting go of old patterns, relationships, and beliefs is essential for making space for new growth. I encourage listeners to reframe their perspectives on loss, viewing it as a sign of alignment rather than defeat. By asking ourselves what is being made space for, we can embrace the chaos and discomfort as part of the process of becoming who we are meant to be. This quote summarizes it perfectly… "You won't find your true self by holding onto who you were. Let go, trust the shift, and step into your becoming."

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

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

In this episode, I dive deep into one of the most transformative elements of my business journey: the power of in-person connections. I have witnessed firsthand how being in a room with like-minded individuals can expand my network, mindset, and business potential. Throughout the episode, I emphasize the concept of "expanders"—individuals who stretch our vision of what is possible. I encourage listeners to seek out these expanders in virtual or in-person settings, as they can provide invaluable insights and inspiration. I discuss how entering the right rooms can change your energy, boost confidence, and lead to meaningful conversations and collaborations.

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

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

In this episode, I dive into the powerful distinction between pain and suffering, a topic that has resonated with many of you after I shared a thought-provoking quote on my social media. The quote, "Pain is inevitable. Suffering is a choice," has taken on new meaning for me, and I want to explore it further with you. Throughout the episode, I stress that suffering is an energy leak that can hinder our progress and well-being. I encourage listeners to call themselves out when they find themselves stuck in an overthinking cycle and choose action instead. I highlight the importance of learning from our experiences, even the painful ones, as they contribute to our growth and understanding of ourselves.

In this episode, I am sharing the message of manifestation combined with NLP. I am currently reading "Mind Magic" by Dr. James Doty, a neurosurgeon who explores the science behind manifesting and how our brains function. His insights have resonated with me, especially as he outlines a six-step process for manifesting anything you want. I share these steps through the Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) lens, hoping to provide a fresh perspective that might resonate with you. Bring your pen and paper. This is a packed episode. The six steps broken down in this episode are: 1. Reclaim Your Power to Focus Your Mind 2. Clarify What You Actually Want 3. Identify the Conscious and Subconscious Obstacles 4. Embed Your Intentions into Your Subconscious Mind 5. Pursue Goals Consistently 6.

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