Own Your Choices Own Your Life

Welcome back to the show! In this episode, I explore abundance and the belief systems surrounding it. I also share my journey of shifting my mindset from scarcity to abundance, particularly in financial abundance. I reflect on a time when I believed that abundance was only about money and how this limited belief system led me to overwork and burnout in my service-based business. Despite working tirelessly, I felt stuck in a cycle of lack and struggled to see abundance in other areas of my life. Abundance is beyond financial wealth and includes relationships, health, and personal fulfillment. I share a transformative practice of writing a letter to money, treating it as a friend, to shift my perspective and cultivate a healthier relationship with finances. Throughout the episode, I emphasize the power of gratitude and mindset in attracting abundance. By focusing on what we have and envisioning a future of abundance, we can manifest positive change in our lives. I highlight the significance of feeling safe in contraction and expansion, allowing ourselves to embrace abundance without fear.

In this episode, I dive deep into the concept of why EFT tapping works, explore the intricate workings of our subconscious mind and how EFT tapping can help us reprogram our thoughts and emotions. As children, we absorb information through our senses, processing 2.3 million bytes of data per second. However, our brains can only handle 126 bits of information, leading to a filtering process where we distort, delete, or generalize information to make sense of it. This filtering process can lead to the internalization of negative emotions and perceptions, disrupting our body's energy system. EFT tapping, or the Emotional Freedom Technique, offers a solution by tapping on energy meridians to balance out these disruptions and rewire our subconscious patterns. During the tapping process, we speak into the energy of the problem, acknowledging and accepting our current emotions before shifting towards a desired state. By tapping on specific points on the body and reciting scripts, we create a psychological reversal, changing the polarity of our energy systems. EFT tapping aims to shift our subconscious programming, allowing us to respond differently to life's challenges. By reprogramming our thoughts and beliefs at the subconscious level, we can break free from old patterns and embrace a more empowered way of living.

Welcome back to the show! As we enter September, a time of reflection and transition, I invite you to join me in exploring the themes of self-trust and personal leadership. This episode dives into the importance of trusting in our path, actions, and intuition, especially during challenging times when trust may seem elusive. I emphasize that trust is not just about sitting back and waiting for things to happen; it requires active engagement and movement. We can cultivate a stronger sense of self-trust by trusting the seeds we've planted, past efforts, and our ability to show up for ourselves and our vision. Throughout the episode, I highlight the key elements of trust: competency, consistency, integrity, and compassion. These qualities apply to our relationships with others and serve as a foundation for building trust within ourselves. I stress the importance of starting with self-trust before extending it to external relationships.

In this episode, I wanted to share thoughts on avoidance, why you might be avoiding something, and how you can shift through that stuck emotion. In this episode, we discuss: 1) Avoidance is a way to make you feel in control, to avoid rejection or to avoid discomfort. Avoidance behaviour is a way to cope with uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. Many people rely on avoidance as a coping mechanism, which can seem like the easier path compared to confrontation — but avoidance can be harmful in the long run, leading to more fear, anxiety, and unhealthy habits 2) Your subconscious mind prefers and likes safety; in fact, it approves of feeling in control or safe. We tend to think and overthink, and we have to change the pattern of how we approach something. Anchor in the feelings of safety, feeling safe regardless of whether it is all working or nothing is working. Then, change the pattern before doing what you are avoiding, anchor the wins, and build the blocks to see your wins. Then, you change the pattern of avoidance permanently.

Welcome to the latest episode of our podcast! In this episode, I enjoyed interviewing Alejandra Brady, an experienced interior designer, feng shui practitioner, biophilic designer, and best-selling author. Alejandra shared her journey of discovering feng shui and biophilic design and how these practices have transformed her life and the spaces in which she works. Alejandra explained that feng shui is about working with the energy flow in a space, whether it's a home, office, or any other environment. She used the analogy of building a house on a mountain to illustrate the importance of finding balance and harmony in one's space. By aligning the energy in a space, individuals can create a more harmonious environment that supports their well-being.

She discussed the power of meditation in her daily routine and how it has helped her connect with her intuition and receive guidance from higher sources.

In this episode, I wanted to share thoughts on fear, what fear is, what it is trying to do, and how to change your relationship with fear so that it doesn't have to hold you back in your life. Fear is a primal response that tries to keep you safe and protected, exactly what your subconscious mind is built to do. "Fear can have a voice, it doesn't get a vote." by Elizabeth Gilbert. Stop trying to rid yourself of fear; it doesn't go away; you build a better relationship with it. Fear can keep you safe; it has well-meaning intentions, yet it doesn't get the deciding vote or the final decisions. In today's episode, we discuss: 1) Fear can be a compass, a guiding light, and a curiosity about next-step decisions, all while not being the deciding factor for what you say yes and no to, etc. Fear is your subconscious mind trying to keep you safe, small, and protected. 2) When you give fear a voice, recognize it is there, and build a better relationship with it, all while not letting it dictate your future or be the brick wall that stops you, you will start believing in yourself more and taking the action steps necessary to prepare for the next opportunities that you are ready for. 3) The only way to release the fear is by feeling the pain and emotions that have become attached to the belief and fear. By feeling the emotions you are releasing the energy of the fear from your body. Also the tools of hypnosis, subliminals, EFT Tapping, FLIP The Script timeline work, relaxation techniques, somatic release, exercise, meditation, can help you release the hold of fear in and on your body.

In this episode, I wanted to share some insight into emotions in our bodies and how they continue to contribute to the stories we tell ourselves. Our emotions can put us on a roller coaster daily; if we haven't been taught how to feel them, recognize and process them if we have also been told to be afraid of them, we don't know what to do with them. Then those unknown emotions become scary and unknown, and our subconscious mind deems unknown and unfamiliar as unsafe, so we avoid them at all costs. "The mind is a superb instrument if used rightly. Used wrongly, however, it becomes very destructive. To put it more accurately, it is not so much that you use your mind wrongly — you usually don't use it at all. It uses you. This is the disease. You believe that you are your mind. This is the delusion. The instrument has taken you over." ~Eckart Tolle HIGHLIGHTS: 00:00:00 - Introduction to Emotions and Stories 00:05:30 - The Power of Subconscious Reprogramming 00:09:51 - Understanding Anger and Its Impact 00:14:48 - The Connection Between Anger and Sadness 00:17:29 - Importance of Self-Leadership and Emotional Release Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in September 2024) HERE Learn more about changing the Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program HERE.

In this episode, I wanted to share thoughts on what to do when life feels like pushing you or putting pressure on you and how to handle failure or setbacks because of it. First off, I am not a huge fan of the word failure because we are never failing, and there is no such thing as failure, only feedback. In this episode, we discuss: 1) How do you keep lif'ing when it feels like life is really hard? Do you meet it with a ton of resistance, pushback and fighting, which only decreases your ability to meet yourself with compassion or grace? 2) Remember that everything is data; everything is teaching us something, and we decide the meaning of it all. How can you ask different questions, get curious, ask what you are here to learn, and how might you be being asked to do more than rest but actually to restore and replenish yourself and your needs?

In this episode, I wanted to share some thoughts on the word identity, what it means and how we create it daily. On a personal level, identity often refers to a person's sense of self, meaning how they view themselves compared to others. Identity encompasses the values people hold, which dictate the choices they make. It is who you are and how you see yourself. In this episode, we discuss: 1) Your identity is not based on whether you are motivated, disciplined, or deserving. Your identity is who you are, what you do, and what you have accomplished. Changing your identity starts with your habits, what you think and say to yourself, and the stories you tell yourself.

In this episode, I wanted to share some thoughts on what is actually blocking you from finding, unlocking and using your OUTSPOKEN voice. In this episode I am sharing 10 tips of how to unlock and use your voice and some of the things that are holding you back might not be what you think. In this episode, we discuss: 1) It requires getting quiet and muting all other things that are distractions. Getting stuck in a comparison loop of how you think your voice should sound, what you should say etc, will distract you from finding your authentic voice. This is what the mute button is for, to help you find your voice. 2) You can't "consciously" change something that you don't subconsciously believe is possible. Those limiting beliefs can be changed at the root and seen as a superpower when you unpack them and understand them. Your subconscious mind was only ever trying to keep you safe and protected. 3) You will never be ready to start, because starting anything is new and scary and definitely "unfamiliar" and our subconscious mind will always choose the safe/familiar discomfort it knows vs the discomfort it doesn't know OUTSPOKEN https://www.marshavanw.com/outspoken2023 The Stories We Tell Ourselves (on presale) https://www.marshavanw.com/StoriesWeTellOurselves Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Marsha is the 6-time Bestselling Author of "When She Stopped Asking Why".

In this episode, I wanted to share some thoughts on getting back to neutral. Being neutral is not being numb to your emotions. It is seeing and feeling your emotions and not making them mean something about you. Here are a couple of things that I do to support myself in getting back to neutral faster. In this episode, we discuss: 1) Nervous system regulation, detaching from the outcome and learning to be and feel safe in contraction and expansion have been a game changer for me in life and business this year. 2) Feel the feeling for a bit, without judgment. Look closely at the feeling, but don't act on it. Can you zoom back from the feeling to see it more clearly? Pay attention to how you feel can help you accept the emotion and then permit yourself to let it go.

In this episode, I wanted to share some thoughts on a quote I heard from Brendon Bouchard a year ago. Its true meaning for me didn't hit until recently: "You are in training for this life. You will always fall to the level of your training, not your expectations." In this episode, we discuss: 1) How can you raise the floor of your training so that you can give yourself a fighting chance so that when life's at you, you only have a small stumble and not be knocked completely off your game? Spiritually, physically, emotionally, nervous system support, and all of the above to give yourself a fighting chance by leading yourself first. 2) How can you trade your expectations in for your standards? What standards do you want to set for your life, and how can you live by them no matter what?

In this episode, I wanted to share some thoughts on our emotions and how they are driving the car. Picture yourself in the backseat of your car working on your personal development, trying to grow yourself and you get stuck in this perpetual loop of frustrations or emotions on repeat and you can't find a way to break that pattern. In this episode, we discuss: 1) Sometimes our brain can't tell the difference between a bear, an annoying client, or a tailgating car. This is when the "90-second rule" comes in handy. According to Harvard brain scientist Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, ninety seconds is all it takes to identify an emotion and allow it to dissipate while you simply notice it. 2) Emotions operate as urgent signalling devices. How can you step back, zoom out and start to see what this message, the emotion wants you to know? The emotions feed the stories and the stories feed the emotions. By zooming out, or playing out the feelings of the best case scenario, we are start to create a new loop of emotions that it has all worked out better than we can imagine.

In this episode, I wanted to share some thoughts on duality, what I have learned about it, and how I am so open to having this conversation on duality as it reflects on the first 6 months of this year in particular. In this episode, we discuss: 1) The duality of life is what makes it rich and meaningful. Life is a dance of opposites, both light and dark, joy and sorrow. Embrace both sides, for they are two sides of the same coin. Don't resist the darkness, for it helps you appreciate the light. 2) Duality is a concept that illustrates that balance is experienced between two opposing forces. Too much of one breaks the balance, just as the absence of one breaks the balance. This concept teaches that understanding and appreciation of anything OUTSPOKEN https://www.marshavanw.com/outspoken2023 Become OUTSPOKEN Open House, Thursday, July 25th, 2024 https://www.marshavanw.com/become-outspoken-write-your-damn-book-open-house-july-25 Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Marsha is the 6-time Bestselling Author of "When She Stopped Asking Why".

In this episode, I wanted to share some thoughts on scripting, what it is and one of the biggest lessons I learned about scripting while on my mastermind retreat in Sedona last month.

In this episode, I wanted to share some thoughts on your breaking points or what feels like your breaking point and what it can also become. In this episode, we discuss: 1) Your breaking point can also become your learning point, the point where you ask more or different questions, where you recognize what is or isn't working, where you are being asked to do more or do less, where you are open to the resources available for you or within you. It can be the scariest time or the time with the most possibilities. 2) Giving your best doesn't have to break you. That might also be the moment when you stop trying to do it all by yourself when you allow yourself to receive support, encouragement, and compassion, or when you are in a space of asking the universe to show you what it has and how it can support you.

In this episode, I wanted to share some thoughts on the stories we tell ourselves, The story that we tell ourselves is the one that lives. Whether it is a story you want or don't want, the only way we can change the story is to have awareness to interrupt the pattern and decide to create and feed a new story. I share some tips, tools and strategies in this episode as well as in the show notes below you can join the FREE OUTSPOKEN Open House. In this episode, we discuss: 1) Our thoughts are creating our life and the more we tell our story the more we keep it alive. The lens through which we see our story is what lives, this is the version of your story vs in your story, the stories that we tell ourselves also keep the emotions alive, and the emotions feed the thoughts, which build the beliefs that we have about ourselves, and what we feel is possible for us. 2) The emotions that we hold and store cannot be consciously shifted or changed. These emotions may be something a person is aware of, or they could be subconscious, meaning they are outside a person's awareness. If they are subconscious or difficult to manage, they may continue affecting the body.

In this episode, I wanted to share some thoughts on one of the biggest illusions we keep searching for, myself included. We all try to avoid uncertainty, even if it means being wrong. We take comfort in certainty and demand it from others, even when we know it's impossible. In this episode, we discuss: 1) When we crave certainty we are searching outside of ourselves for the results we desire when instead we create our certainty within ourselves by building our courage muscle to start and to build resilience within ourselves. Also, it is up to us to grow into the version of ourselves that can hold the next level of expansion for ourselves. I often say that if someone had shown me what I would be doing today, I would have self-sabotaged myself because I did not yet feel worthy of the work I had to do 2) There is no certainty, only courage to start, you create your certainty with yourself because you teach yourself to feel safe in the expansion and the contraction Courage is always required because uncertainty is consistent We find our courage, certainty, order, and strength in the chaos OUTSPOKEN https://www.marshavanw.com/outspoken2023 Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Marsha is the 6-time Bestselling Author of "When She Stopped Asking Why".

In this episode, I wanted to share some thoughts on who your biggest critic is and how you can learn to shift this perspective. "Your harshest critic is always going to be yourself. Don't ignore that critic, but don't give it more attention than what it deserves." ~ Michael Ian Black. Self-criticism is normal and even healthy in small doses. The dose or amount of self-criticism you use on yourself is what makes it a poison. When you always approach your work with negativity, it's paralyzing. In this episode, we discuss: 1) How do you handle the criticism? Remember this you will never be criticized by someone who is doing more than you, check the source, see the mirror, and ask yourself subconsciously if those words have a trigger for you, and how you can reframe that differently. 2) Picture that you are working on building your beliefs in yourself, yet every time you criticize yourself, you are breaking down the strides or effort in building your beliefs and you are giving your inner critic more power.

In this episode, I wanted to share some thoughts on what it means to be OUTSPOKEN, and why everyone can embrace this energy with some intentional work and subconscious reprogramming. In this episode, we discuss: 1) Start with getting quiet and asking yourself when did you decide that you couldn't share your voice, your message, or allow yourself to be seen and heard. If you say you don't know, I will say, "I know you don't know, if you did know, when did you decide that?" 2) Framing up the story as to these three questions, who I was, what happened, as a result now I do _____, or I am _____. This is an important shift that helps you to see your story differently. Shifting from IN the story to ON the story.

In this episode, I wanted to share how a word that maybe you have associated yourself with, or one that has carried a lot of meaning to you, actually can have a shift in perspective. I believe this episode will resonate with you and somewhere in there is a word that you have let define you and you are giving it far too much power. In this episode, we discuss: 1) What is the one word that you have identified yourself by (from your words or someone else's) and it is almost a trigger for you? How can you shift or reframe the meaning of that word to mean something entirely differently and how can you embrace that part of yourself? 2) I am sharing a personal story of how I shifted the meaning of the word strong/strength and how I leaned into using my OUTSPOKEN voice to ask for what I needed and allow myself to receive it in return.

In this episode, I wanted to share some thoughts on the invisible progress that we don't take the time to see in ourselves. If you want to get good at the game, whatever the game is, you have to do enough reps and one of the reasons that we don't do enough reps is invisible progress, we don't see that invisible progress, if you are beating something down over and over and over it continues to break down like a belief that's not serving you. In this episode, we discuss: 1) In the early stage we are making progress, but it's not visible to us, so we are not acknowledging it Because we can't see the progress. Most people quit before they get natural at doing something. Most of us want to see progress to believe that it's happening But for most things in life, a lot of the progress is happening visibly 2) Invisible progress is still progress, and you can train your brain to see the progress and learn how to stack those wins.

In this episode, I wanted to share some thoughts on fear and failure and how we can get stuck in replaying a movie that doesn't serve us. In this episode, we discuss: 1) If you are stuck on a repeat of replaying the movie of your past, replaying your "failures", your mistakes, the things you wished you could have done differently, you are not creating any room for your future vision and what you want to create. 2) Instead focus on what you are creating, what you are calling in, what do you see, what do you hear and what do you feel. That is the movie you want to play on repeat in your head when you are visualizing. You are creating a movie of possibilities.

In this episode, I wanted to share some thoughts on a past connection call on our focus to go back and fix what doesn't feel like it's working. Sometimes what isn't working is an invitation to ask some deeper questions and explore new possibilities. In this episode, we discuss: 1) If you are trying to fix, edit or make a part of your business/relationships/or anything else work that just doesn't seem to work, maybe 2) Your subconscious mind will always gravitate towards what it is familiar with even if it isn't what you want because familiar is predictable and it is safe. How can you build that safety within yourself and choose the new possibilities instead of the past that you are being called to move away from?

In this episode, I wanted to share some thoughts on limiting beliefs and learning how to dance with them instead of fighting with them. As you grow and expand in your life and in your business, your limiting beliefs come with you. You might as well build a better relationship with them. In this episode, we discuss: 1) Limiting beliefs are usually subconscious. They operate below the level of awareness most of the time. You'll typically notice them by their side effects first, often when setting ambitious goals and trying to pursue them. 2) This is an invitation to lean into building a better relationship with them instead of resisting and fighting them because whatever you resist will persist!

It continues to show how people want to connect to the story and the person behind the story. We can build incredible connections with others by sharing more of who we authentically are and what we are experiencing. 2) We dove into the word of identity, and the theme of you-doing-you, and letting others see who your authenticity.

In this episode, I wanted to share some thoughts on how to lean into the story that you don't want to share. The story you don't want to share has tremendous power over you. Here are some thoughts on how to shift that. You might be thinking it is behind me, I can move on, it is in my past, yet if some part of you is connected to the past in that way then it is energy that is not being used to create your future. In this episode, we discuss: 1) When you think of a story that you don't want to share, it creates a shield of shame that shuts you down, it feeds into your fear of judgement, and criticism and it becomes paralyzing in your life. Any fear you feel is anticipating what could go wrong and how you will handle that when instead it is learning how to paint a different outcome. 2) You are perfectly designed to help the person you once were, so leaning into this work will open up so many doors and possibilities. The struggle is real, but the freedom is worth every ounce of courage you put into telling your story for the first time.

In this episode, we dive into the fear of starting anything. There is a fear of the unknown, the what if's, the fear of mistakes, of judgements, of what if I screw up, etc. What if you can paint your new story to be even better than your current one? This quote from Tony Robbins says it all, "Life is a dance between your greatest fear and your deepest desire" ~Tony Robbins In this episode, we discuss: 1) The fear of starting is a very common feeling, and then we make our worries about starting way bigger, and we feed the fear. We either feed the fear/doubts or feed our faith, we decide what we choose to feed. 2) New situations and new experiences create a ton of unknowns, which also feed our fear of failure and the unknown. When those fears arise we end up procrastinating, being in a space of freeze, fight, flight or fawn. This is how we shift this energy to focus on what we are creating and feeding the trust and belief in ourselves.

In this episode, we speak with Business and Marketing Mentor, Laura Sinclair. Laura believes that you and your business deserve to be seen. With over a decade of experience building digital marketing strategies for some of the world's biggest brands, Laura has dedicated her life's work to teaching women how to grow their businesses and take big leaps into their entrepreneurial dreams through her podcast, courses, and events. Laura went from corporate dropout to multi-six-figure business owner.

Laura is a mom of two, CEO of the boutique social media marketing agency, The LJ Social Agency and the host of This Mother Means Business podcast. In this episode, we discuss: 1) Balancing building a business, motherhood, and how we get stuck in an idea of what business is supposed to look like compared to what we want our business to look like, and how we can find our own version of balance between motherhood and business. 2) How to be seen in the online space, what is relevant to our business to share and how we can go so much further with a community than trying to do it alone.

In this episode, I wanted to share a concept that you only feel your emotions for 90 seconds. Harvard brain scientist Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor explains "When a person reacts to something in their environment, there's a 90-second chemical process that happens in the body; after that, any remaining emotional response is just the person choosing to stay in that emotional loop. In this episode, we discuss: 1) The 90-second rule states that the physiological response, the chemical rush behind our emotions, dissipates after about 90 seconds. If we still feel the rush after that, or heightened emotions it is because our subconscious mind had attached old stories to the emotions. Once our subconscious mind attaches a story to the emotion, now it piles on shame, guilt, and judgment and it becomes part of our identity. 2) Your subconscious mind will always resort back to what is familiar and what it knows so that you can feel safe and protected.

In this episode, I wanted to share a personal story and a shift that helps me when I am feeling stuck in the struggle or stuck in the victim mindset. It also depends on how we identify with the struggle and what we make that mean about us. In this episode, we discuss: 1) Struggle teaches us resilience, patience, and the importance of perseverance. Through the value of struggle, we are often forced to adapt and find ways to overcome them. By embracing struggle (or at least what you learned from it) and turning it into opportunities for growth, you can build resilience, improve problem-solving skills, and develop tenacity and humility. 2) Your perspective of the struggle changes depending on what questions you ask yourself. Being open, and willing to challenge our own belief systems, allows us to grow into the humans to do the work that we are here to do.

In this episode, we speak with Public Speaking Coach, Will Greenblatt. Will started acting in film and TV at the age of seven, starring in The Homecoming with Oscar® winner Anne Bancroft. He graduated from the National Theatre School of Canada in 2010, but the toxic environment of the program left him jaded, so he quit acting. He moved to Spain where he discovered his love for teaching English, and then dived into the world of entrepreneurship, co-founding a startup in China. He founded OutLoud Speakers School in 2017, teaching public speaking & communication skills to entrepreneurs and executives. He has repeatedly spoken and coached at Google, Wayfair, Boston Dynamics, TechStars, Founder Institute and Ericsson, as well as providing coaching to over 4500 individuals virtually worldwide. Will's clients have won numerous pitch competitions, got deals on Dragon's Den, and raised over $350 million USD in investment. He's also a Top Public Speaking Voice on LinkedIn, a nominee for "Newcomer of The Year" by the Speaker Awards, and is "Canada's best pitch coach" (Jordan Jocius, Founder Institute Waterloo). In this episode, we discuss: 1) My journey from depressed actor to public speaking coach, quitting cocaine and weed, overcoming grief with therapy, leaving Canada for a while, and pursuing business when everyone else were actors'. 2) The difference between validation vs connection and how being stuck in a cycle of frozen grief will trap us in our emotions and we continue to seek outside of ourselves for the answers.

In this episode, I wanted to share a message from an experience I recently went through as I started yoga therapy during the therapy I recognized how relatable it is that our body holds onto trauma to protect us, much like our subconscious mind holds onto the memories of pain to protect us and keep us safe. I am linking Lisa Bourque's info below as she is the yoga therapist I am working with in the Southwestern Ontario region. In this episode, we discuss: 1) When there is trapped trauma and experience in our bodies, our muscles will react in a way to protect us, even though there is nothing to be afraid of. It is trying to protect us from pain, and it acts in anticipation of pain before anything has happened. 2) Our subconscious mind responds the same way. It remembers discomfort, pain etc, and it does what it needs to do to keep us safe and familiar. How can you let it feel awkward and celebrate being new at something, and you can teach your subconscious mind that it is safe to continue to grow outside of your comfort zone?

In this episode, I wanted to share a question to ask if it is time to audit yourself. If things are not working in the direction that you want, or it is a point of frustration, or your demands are high, then maybe it is time for you to do an audit on yourself, specifically on your time and energy. These two factors will change how you show up, the energy you bring into your day and how you navigate your day. By tracking and reviewing your daily activities, you can identify how much time you spend on each and see if this actually aligns with your goals. In this episode, we discuss: 1) Time energy audits, you can't change anything that you are unaware of, and you are most likely aware of more than you think. 2) Auditing your energy comes from looking at the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual lens and making small adjustments and tweaks to shift it.

In this episode, we speak with Artist, Amanda Inglis. Amanda was raised on a farm just off the shore of Lake Erie, south of London, Ontario. At a young age, she became known within her small community for her insatiable curiosity for the creative arts. Her interdisciplinary mindset earned her a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre Studies from York University. Following the loss of her father in 2008, Amanda returned to her rural roots and discovered solace in the study of botany, with a newfound appreciation for the delicate life cycle of flowers. She works with oil on canvas to depict her homegrown floral subjects in anatomical detail. Her artwork serves as a symbol of the beauty found within the symbiotic relationship between resilience and vulnerability. Her debut collection earned her accolades as an award-winning artist at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Burlington, Ontario for her piece "Timeless Trinity". Amanda humbly describes her knowledge of working with oils akin to the progression of a real garden's maturation: two decades of growing at a quiet pace." In this episode, we discuss: 1) Perfectionism, our armour, not allowing ourselves to be fully seen, and how it was this journey of 36 years for Amanda until she hit a deep, dark, breaking point in 2023, after losing a close friend, after losing her father years earlier, and she found herself in a hospital bed, her body unable to carry the grief any longer. Amanda went into the hospital as a PSW worker and came out deciding it was time to allow herself to be the artist she knew was inside of her all along. 2) This is a beautiful conversation, as Amanda shares her story, how we crossed paths over 13 years ago, how we were mirrors for each other, and how it took the loss of a friend for our lives to circle back around. Through loss and grief, Amanda found herself, her voice, and her courage to allow her gifts to be fully seen as within 6 months of painting her first oil painting, she found her paintings on a wall in a gallery that she walked by so many times the year before envisioning and imagining seeing her work on the walls inside.

In this episode, I wanted to share a message I heard last week and it sparked my thinking. You never actually see a person's wins, you only see what you think their wins are. "When we fail to acknowledge and celebrate small victories, we get discouraged and the flame inside us starts to dwindle." "Victory is won not in miles but in inches. Win a little now, hold your ground, and later, win a little more." "If you really look closely, most overnight successes took a long time." ~ Louis L'Amour In this episode, we discuss: 1) Never underestimate all the micro-decisions that you make every single day, the nutrition, sleep, mindset and nervous system support, not picking up your phone, choosing something positive to focus on. Life-giving habits that support you and the life you are creating. 2) Are you taking time to celebrate your small wins that happen on a daily basis. When I find myself being harder on myself, over critical, biting comments, I know that I am stepping over or ignoring what I am doing and that is coming from a place of comparison, or feeling like I am not doing enough.

In this episode, we speak with Chief Financial Officer, Fallon Moran. ​​For 4 years from 2019 - 2023, Fallon racked up an incredible amount of high-interest credit card debt totalling $59,221 spending on business coaching and programs to grow her online business. Then in October of 2023, her 15-month-old daughter was seizing in her car seat on the way to the pediatrician's office. Fallon was paying off her debt consistently for the majority of 2023, however after her daughter's febrile seizure, she realized that the frame of mind she took into everything had to change if she was going to be able to change the trajectory of her business and her daughter's life. At the end of 2023, Fallon paid off a total of $25,547 of high-interest credit card debt, and that was her just getting started. Working through her NLP certification, Fallon has realized the importance and priority of putting the inner work first so that it can open doors she would have never thought possible for herself, her family or her business before. In this episode, we discuss: 1) Fallon's journey in the online space over the last 4 years, how she was searching for the answers and solutions outside of herself while racking up a large amount of credit card debt and it took a series of events in 2023 involving her 15-month-old daughter for her to decide that enough was enough. 2) Through incorporating work with her subconscious mind, Fallon has completely re-written her money story, now helps others to uncover the roots of the story, and has now learned how to connect to her own internal representation of the results she wants to feel instead of making decisions out of lack or FOMO. Connect with Fallon Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fallonkmoran/ Fallon has 2 digital products currently; 1 course that covers how to step into financial control and the other is a digital e-book experience on how she paid off over $25,000 of High-interest credit card debt. https://stan.store/FallonKMoran She is offering 1:1 NLP sessions with business owners to help them work through business and financial blocks that I am doing in exchange for market research until the end of June when I am planning a financial and subconscious program to bring to market., https://calendly.com/fallonkmoran/1-1-call?month=2024-05 Marsha Vanwynsberghe — Storytelling NLP Trainer, Speaker, Publisher & Author, 2xs Podcaster Marsha is the 6-time Bestselling Author of "When She Stopped Asking Why".

707 | Cancer Taught Me To Appreciate The Moments with Ray Hartjen In this episode, we speak with Writer & Musician, Ray Hartjen. Ray is a writer, musician and songwriter living in Northern California. In a professional career that has spanned parts of five decades, he pivoted on many occasions, from investment banking to pharmaceuticals, from consumer electronics to SaaS software. One constant throughout his career path, however, has been storytelling. A cancer fighter every day of the week that ends in a 'y,' Ray shares his experience and raises funds for the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation with his latest book, Me, Myself & My Multiple Myeloma. And, with life's soundtrack playing in his head, Ray also performs and records with his two-piece acoustic band, the Chronic Padres. In this episode, we discuss: 1) Cancer has become Ray's biggest calling and he shares his experience and raises funds for the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation in his latest book, Me, Myself & My Myeloma. He has reframed his fight against cancer to focus on what makes life worth living. 2) Cancer taught Ray to not take life for granted, and the power of vulnerability and learning that his story could help others feel less alone in their story too.

In this episode, I wanted to share the quote I came across last week, The Persian poet Hafiz said, "The words we speak become the house we live in." Our words and thoughts are creating our beliefs which are creating our world. In this episode, we discuss: 1) Our words have the power to build people up and give them life or tear people down and bring them death. The words we speak can inspire and encourage others while, in the same sentence, deflating and discouraging ourselves and others. The words you speak become the house you build and the house you live in, it is either a prison or a cage, and both of these examples of how we speak to ourselves and others. 2) Whatever direction your words lead, your mind, body and environment will follow. When we communicate with others and with ourselves internally, we are constructing an imaginary "house". Then, we live in this house and experience life inside it. How we interpret the world around us, and how we perceive our identity comes from the house, or the cage that we have built for ourselves.

In this episode, I want to share a few stories about holding the vision and how long you can hold the vision, no one can hold it for you, and no one can see it for you that it will make up for lack of belief in yourself. "Dreams have no limits. Only in our commitment to fulfilling our dreams, do we realize our potential" ~ unknown. In this episode, we discuss: 1) The vision is for you because there is a future version of you who already has this vision, she is already holding it and already celebrating it, it is not an accident or a coincidence. You get to choose what you do with this vision. It is important to hold onto your vision so that you feel how you would feel in the present moment. What do you see, what do you hear, what do you feel when you have what you are holding the vision of? Hold the vision and trust the process 2) Your subconscious mind will always strive to keep you safe and with what is familiar, so if you are striving for something new, expansive, and outside of your comfort zone, then you have to believe that you are safe to have it. For example, holding a program with 2 people when you want 10. 3) Sharing the vision of my husband qualifying for the World's Masters Weightlifting Championship in Finland in September, I have been holding this vision for months, not getting stuck in the how, and focusing on how will it feel, what will I see and hear when we are there. Every morning and night and sometimes multiple times a day. I have anchored it in and I can access that vision easily and effortlessly. Hold the vision and trust the process OUTSPOKEN https://www.marshavanw.com/outspoken2023 ***** BeSpoke 50% Bday Promo https://www.marshavanw.com/offers/kzgzFNBF?coupon_code=FASTACTION50 Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Marsha is the 6-time Bestselling Author of "When She Stopped Asking Why".

He lives in Colorado with his wife Amy and two cats, Lincoln and Taylor. In this episode, we discuss: 1) Erik's story, what it means to move from Survivor to Thriver, how he hid his story from everyone and what it was like to be able to learn how to share it and feel the release of the hold of his story on his life. 2) Erik shared his equilateral triangle of healing and how it needs all 3 components of Western and Eastern medicine and the component of nature and if one of the ends of the triangle collapses it all crashes.
