I am so happy to be catching up with you guys today! As a girl who is passionate about both travel and wellness the balance can be so difficult. What do we prioritize when traveling? How do we do this right? This past month I traveled to Nicaragua and Georgia and finding out the balance of managing a routine while traveling all around was something new. Knowing that health and wellness makes my life BETTER, it also makes my experiences traveling so much better too. Xx Mackenzie

You've heard me say it before & I'll say it again, your singleness is a gift. There is so much you can do in your singleness that propels you to be the best friend, partner, and person. Singleness is a time to discover who you are apart from anyone else, but maybe you think you've there. You think you're ready for a relationship and to love someone well. In todays episode we go over practical signs to tell if you're ready for that commitment + what to work on if you're not there yet. I hope you guys love this episode. Xx Mackenzie

Oh boy you guys. Happy episode 10. This episode is a hard one so please bear with me. I pray you come into this episode with a soft heart, to receive my story with grace. This is the rawest version of me, not one I necessarily want to share, but need to share. I hope you see Jesus in this episode more than any other. I hope my testimony can witness to at least one of you, that'll make it all worth it to me. I love you guys & I am more grateful than you'll ever know.

We all create plans for our lives. I am naturally a planner so oftentimes there isn't even a day that goes by that does not have a start to finish plan. I've known what I wanted my life to look like, what I expected from God. But what happens when that doesn't become a reality? I'm gonna let you in on a little secret -- Gods plan is so much better than you're own. This episode is my testament of that. In todays episode we are talking about all things moving abroad. Why & how I did it & why I would or would not recommend it for you. I learned so much from my time abroad that I pray those lessons can bless you too. I love you guys. Please, please, please don't forget to rate us below & as always dm me what you think. Xx Mackenzie

Welcome my people back to another week on the podcast!! Today we are talking all things dating & diving into our favorite, the cupcake analogy!! This analogy has helped all my friends hold one another accountable & even helped some of them find their future husbands -- so although I can't personally speak of its success, I know it WORKS! Bring a pen & paper with you to todays episode because I want you to get involved by building your own cupcake too.

This episode is one of my favorites! GUYS -- I feel like we're chatting about something so often not talked about in the church but oddly enough my church happened to this past Sunday. If you loved this episode and want to hear more, check out this sermon below! God made you in such a beautiful and unique way. He took time to focus on so much of you. God commanded us to treat our bodies like a temple, but why? And what does that actually look like? How do we focus on our body, soul, and spirit in a healthy way? What's even the point? Self improvement or something more? Your feedback is so appreciated & we would love nothing more for you to rate this podcast if you enjoyed todays episode!! https://www.instagram.com/jesuspeopleplacess ⁠jesuspeopleplaces.com https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwD0f5vKtEA

This episode is a bit of a rollercoaster. Why does life go by so quickly in our 20s & how the HECK is it almost November. This year is flying by too quick. Life updates on some health issues I've been battling and what I am doing to fix it + getting real with y'all.

It seems simple to ask - what's something you''re grateful for? But this question unlocks so much more. In todays episode we're talking all things gratitude -- why we often reject gratitude, why we need to show gratitude, and how it can ultimately benefit out lives in a multitude of ways. I want to teach you steps to achieve your very best life and I believe one of the biggest keys to do so is implementing gratitude into your daily life.

If you're new here, hi I'm a girl who struggled to eat in college + post grad after quitting years of competitive sports. I didn't know how to be anything other than thin, I felt so loved and complimented that way. Living in south florida has made having a positive relationship with food difficult but as I continue to educate myself, my relationship grows to one of loving and celebrating food + fitness. I am joined in this episode by our first ever live guest Kailyn Espana. Kailyn is personal trainer that does things DIFFERENT. I connected with Kailyn after moving back from England wonder why Americans do food, dieting, and exercise in such a toxic, demanding way. Kailyn offers a different approach - to connect with Kailyn further get to know her more at https://www.jesuspeopleplaces.com/new-page

Your singleness DOES NOT disqualify you. Many of us have spent years believing the lie that our purpose will come when a spouse comes and that is so far from the truth. My heart does desire to be married one day but I'd be a fool to let that desire hold me back from living out my purpose TODAY! I hope y'all love this episode as much as I did!! xx  Mackenzie  jesuspeopleplaces.com Follow us on socials: instagram.com/jesuspeopleplacesinstagram.com/mackenzieemarsh https://www.tiktok.com/@mackenzieemarsh?_t=8fUcGVdKECR&_r=1 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYD1YbPDfB4tpcz0JMDhzpA
