972 | Writing The Book That Becomes Your Business CardIn this episode, Marsha shares how we can shift from the emotional and subconscious side of writing and into strategy. We explore the idea that your book can become your business card, and ultimately a doorway to opportunities you cannot yet see.This isn't about writing for ego or status. It's about recognizing that your story carries weight. That it builds know-like-trust at scale. That it positions you for stages, podcasts, collaborations, programs, press, and impact in ways that social media alone never could.Highlights(01:12) – What if your book became your business card — not just a story, but a strategy?(02:32) – Your book is a snapshot in time. You're allowed to evolve beyond it.(03:13) – Your book isn't a final destination. It's the beginning of your work.(04:15) – You must grow into the version of you who can hold what your book opens up.(05:10) – If your past self had seen your current reality, she might have been too scared to begin.(06:02) – Writing a book creates long-term visibility — far beyond a single post.(06:34) – Ask yourself: What do you want people to know about you three years from now?(07:37) – Your story could be the exact answer someone has been searching for.(08:20) – Your book can become a point of legacy that lives far beyond you.(09:07) – The impact of a book can't always be measured in dollars — but in doors opened.(10:25) – 120 books didn't mean 120 sales — it meant 120 potential ripple effects.(11:04) – Your book may open doors you're not meant to see yet.

What if the thing you keep avoiding is actually the doorway to your next level?In this solo episode, Marsha pulls back the curtain on the internal resistance that shows up when growth is knocking. This is an honest, grounded conversation about the tension between comfort and expansion, the stories we cling to, and the subtle ways we sabotage the very things we say we want.Marsha explores what it really means to take responsibility for your life without shame, how to recognize when you're playing small, and why clarity often comes after action, not before it.This one is reflective, direct, and quietly activating.Highlights(01:41) – The fear that stops so many writers: “What if I hurt someone?”(02:40) – Writing from a victim mindset attracts more anger and resentment — and won't create the results you want.(03:46) – You are not meant to tell the story from 10 perspectives — only from your own.(04:48) – You can share your story without making yourself or anyone else the villain.(05:08) – Can you write as though the person you're afraid of hurting is in the room?(06:29) – You can keep your side of the street clean — you cannot control someone else's internal representation.(08:13) – Blame and ownership sit on opposite ends of the spectrum.(08:46) – The NLP question: Where am I not at cause in my life?(10:50) – Does this part of my story help someone move forward — or keep them stuck?(13:26) – If you take readers deep into the darkness, you must also show them how to rise.Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and PodcasterWrite Your Damn Book Program: https://www.marshavanw.com/writenowUnbothered Mind Private Podcast https://www.marshavanw.com/unbotheredmindpodcastUnbothered Entrepreneur Masterclass (for the Podcast Listeners): https://www.marshavanw.com/unbothered-entrepreneur-masterclass-podcastDownload “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in January 2026, in person or virtual) HEREThe Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program August Promo Save $333 HERE.Tap the “Follow” button never to miss a show, and if you love the show, please feel free to tag me on social media, share it with a friend, or leave me a rating and review.

In this episode, Marsha dives deep into the emotional undercurrent that shows up for almost every author: the fear of being seen. The fear of judgment. The pressure to “get it right.” And the sneaky belief that if it's not perfect, it's not worthy.If you're in the process of writing a solo book, contributing to a collaborative, or leading one yourself, this conversation will hit home. Because perfectionism isn't about excellence. It's about protection. And it will silence your voice if you let it.Highlights[01:53] You will never be criticized by someone doing more than you[03:12] If perfectionism is driving the car, fear is in the passenger seat and shame is in the back[03:57] How editing during the first draft blocks creative flow[04:11] Perfectionism is protection — and it's keeping your voice hostage[05:13] Writing from your conscious mind vs. tapping into the visceral, heart-led story[06:01] Vulnerability isn't weakness — it's the birthplace of real connection[07:29] Who are you actually afraid will judge you? (Hint: it starts with you.)[08:27] Vulnerability requires boundaries — you don't have to share everything[09:27] Why some authors need to write 16,000 words to find the 3,000 that matter[11:03] Releasing perfectionism changes the story you tell[12:05] Shift your identity: from “perfect author” to “brave author”Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and PodcasterWrite Your Damn Book Program: https://www.marshavanw.com/writenowUnbothered Mind Private Podcast https://www.marshavanw.com/unbotheredmindpodcastUnbothered Entrepreneur Masterclass (for the Podcast Listeners): https://www.marshavanw.com/unbothered-entrepreneur-masterclass-podcastDownload “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in January 2026, in person or virtual) HEREThe Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program August Promo Save $333 HERE.

In this episode, Marsha breaks down one of the biggest invisible blocks writers (and creators of any kind) face: overthinking.Using writing your book as the lens, she unpacks how perfectionism, comparison, second-guessing, and “editing while writing” are not signs that you can't do it — they're subconscious protection patterns designed to keep you safe from vulnerability.Strategy alone won't fix resistance. You can schedule the hour. You can set the alarm for 5 am. But if your subconscious is stuck in fear, comparison, or identity doubt, the plan won't move you forward.This episode is a powerful reminder that flow is not forced — it's regulated. Writing isn't about producing more. It's about aligning your energy, identity, and nervous system so your voice can come through without interference.If you've ever felt stuck, blocked, clunky, or not “good enough” to write, this episode will bring you back to yourself.Highlights[01:41] The common writer loop: overthinking, perfectionism, comparison — and not actually writing[02:03] Why strategy alone (wake up at 5 am and write) won't override subconscious patterns[03:19] Overthinking mode: Is it good enough? What will people think?[04:10] The difference between “have to” energy and true creative flow[05:17] If you're not in flow, don't force production — shift your energy first[06:06] Overthinking as a nervous system freeze response[06:18] You can't think your way into clarity — it creates more resistance[08:21] Conscious strategy vs. subconscious identity — the 95% that drives results[08:41] Creating safety in your body before you create on the page[09:09] Fake dopamine (scrolling) vs. real dopamine (earned reward)[10:17] Recognizing your authentic voice vs. sounding like someone else[11:01] What would writing look like if it didn't have to be perfect?[11:23] Stream-of-consciousness writing as a way to unlock flow[12:00] 10–15 minutes is enough to retrain your brain out of perfectionismMarsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and PodcasterWrite Your Damn Book Program: https://www.marshavanw.com/writenowUnbothered Mind Private Podcast https://www.marshavanw.com/unbotheredmindpodcastUnbothered Entrepreneur Masterclass (for the Podcast Listeners): https://www.marshavanw.com/unbothered-entrepreneur-masterclass-podcastDownload “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in January 2026, in person or virtual) HEREThe Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program August Promo Save $333 HERE.

In this episode, Marsha dismantles one of the most common and convincing stories that keeps people stuck: I'm not ready yet. Using writing a book as the lens, she shows how this belief applies to every area of life where growth, visibility, and courage are required.Marsha explains how “not ready” is not a truth, but a subconscious safety strategy designed to keep you protected, small, and predictable. Through personal reflections on her own books, unfinished stories, and ongoing life chapters, she reframes readiness as something that is created through action, not something you wait to feel. This episode is a powerful invitation to stop delaying your voice, your story, and your next step, and to begin becoming the version of you who moves even when it feels uncomfortable.Highlights[01:37] Introducing the belief of “I'm not ready yet” and how it applies to everything in life[01:53] Whatever story you repeat is the one you keep alive[02:13] You don't need to be more healed, perfect, successful, or qualified to start[02:42] Why being a different version of yourself later doesn't invalidate who you were then[03:25] Waiting for clarity and why clarity only comes through action[03:36] Ready is not coming and how “not ready” keeps you safe but stuck[04:15] The process of writing the book is what makes you ready[05:03] Fear of hurting others, saying the wrong thing, and sharing unfinished stories[06:08] “Not ready” as subconscious self protection, not truth[06:46] Safety over growth and why the brain always chooses predictability[07:11] You don't need to be healed, you need to be willing to move[08:06] Becoming the author as an identity shift, not a writing strategyMarsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and PodcasterWrite Your Damn Book Program: https://www.marshavanw.com/writenowUnbothered Mind Private Podcast https://www.marshavanw.com/unbotheredmindpodcastUnbothered Entrepreneur Masterclass (for the Podcast Listeners): https://www.marshavanw.com/unbothered-entrepreneur-masterclass-podcastDownload “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in January 2026, in person or virtual) HEREThe Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program August Promo Save $333 HERE.

In this episode, Marsha speaks directly to anyone who feels overwhelmed, blocked, or unsure where to begin when writing their story. She reframes the messiness of storytelling not as a problem, but as proof that something meaningful is trying to emerge.Drawing from her own experience writing multiple books and supporting collaborative authors, Marsha explains why clarity doesn't come before the mess. It comes through it. She explores the subconscious fears tied to visibility, being misunderstood, and emotional safety, and why editing too early keeps most people stuck. This episode is a powerful reminder that your story doesn't need to be perfect, polished, or fully formed. It just needs to be honest.Highlights[01:04] Why your story feels messy and why that's actually a good sign[01:42] The reality that most people want to write a book, but very few ever do[02:13] Your story doesn't need to be perfect, it just needs to be true[02:35] Why messy first drafts are often required to reach the real story[03:03] Talking yourself out of writing because you don't feel ready[03:36] Pulling out journals, sticky notes, and timelines to organize the chaos[04:08] The belief that everything has to go into one book and why that's false[04:28] Fear of visibility, being misunderstood, and other people's opinions[05:11] Why writing your story feels emotionally overwhelming[05:39] The subconscious need for safety and predictability when writing[06:01] Questions that help uncover the parts of your story that matter most[06:36] Why you must write the mess first and edit laterMarsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and PodcasterWrite Your Damn Book Program: https://www.marshavanw.com/writenowUnbothered Mind Private Podcast https://www.marshavanw.com/unbotheredmindpodcastUnbothered Entrepreneur Masterclass (for the Podcast Listeners): https://www.marshavanw.com/unbothered-entrepreneur-masterclass-podcastDownload “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in January 2026, in person or virtual) HEREThe Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program August Promo Save $333 HERE.

In this episode, Marsha shares the deeply personal moment she knew she was meant to write her story, and how that decision changed everything.

In this episode, Marsha invites listeners to pause and take an honest look at what's been showing up emotionally as the new year unfolds. Instead of pushing discomfort away, she offers a powerful reframe: the emotion you keep avoiding may actually be the clearest signal of your next level of growth.Through personal stories, client insights, and grounded reflection, Marsha explores how avoidance drains energy, keeps us stuck in cycles, and disconnects us from deeper connection and capacity. She shares why emotions are not problems to solve, but data to listen to, and how learning to feel instead of armor up creates space for more presence, meaning, and expansion.This episode is an invitation to stop numbing, stop running, and gently meet yourself where you are. Because when you allow what you feel, you unlock what's next.Highlights[01:30] The question to ask a few weeks into the new year: what keeps showing up emotionally[01:44] Why the emotion you're avoiding may be pointing to your next stage of growth[02:15] Fear of being too much, too weak, or too disruptive and how it fuels avoidance[02:50] How much energy avoidance actually costs on a daily basis[03:16] Doing what you can in 10 minutes and shifting overwhelm through action[03:45] Emotions as invitations, not problems to fix[04:42] Emotions as data and learning to pay attention instead of judging them[05:20] Sitting with discomfort because it's teaching you something important[06:02] Choosing connection over productivity in a hard emotional moment[06:45] Building capacity to feel by leaning in instead of shutting down[07:25] Avoidance leads to numbness, not safety[09:08] Meeting yourself without armor and discovering your emotional superpowerMarsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and PodcasterJoin the 2026 HWCEO Mastermind: https://meghan-weir.thrivecart.com/hwceomastermind/Unbothered Mind Private Podcast https://www.marshavanw.com/unbotheredmindpodcastUnbothered Entrepreneur Masterclass (for the Podcast Listeners): https://www.marshavanw.com/unbothered-entrepreneur-masterclass-podcastDownload “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in January 2026, in person or virtual) HEREThe Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program August Promo Save $333 HERE.

In this episode, Marsha invites listeners to question one of the most normalized words in entrepreneurship and personal growth: doing. As the year unfolds differently than expected, she shares how shifting from goal chasing to identity work has revealed a deeper pattern of pushing, proving, and over-efforting that many high performers unknowingly live inside.Through personal stories, nervous system awareness, and powerful metaphors, Marsha explores how constant “doing” keeps us locked in sympathetic survival mode, and why pausing, allowing, and receiving are not signs of weakness but essential components of sustainable growth. She reframes success through the lens of capacity, regulation, and support, offering a new vision of leadership where rest is not earned but required.This episode is a permission slip to slow down, clean up the language you use with yourself, and build a life and business that supports your health, relationships, and long-term vision.Highlights[01:10] Why this year feels different and the shift from goal setting to identity work[02:00] Bringing structured support into the business and noticing the foundation gaps[02:47] What happens when someone finally tells you “something has to come off your calendar”[03:26] The realization that the word “doing” was quietly driving pressure and burnout[03:57] How language subconsciously signals pushing, proving, and never being enough[05:08] The underdog narrative and why “push harder” stories wire us for overdrive[06:22] Committing to recovery as deeply as commitment to hustle[07:28] Reframing success as building capacity, not grinding harder[08:36] Catching the word that activates your sympathetic nervous system[09:43] Proof that pausing, receiving, and support can still create massive resultsMarsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and PodcasterJoin the 2026 HWCEO Mastermind: https://meghan-weir.thrivecart.com/hwceomastermind/Unbothered Mind Private Podcast https://www.marshavanw.com/unbotheredmindpodcastUnbothered Entrepreneur Masterclass (for the Podcast Listeners): https://www.marshavanw.com/unbothered-entrepreneur-masterclass-podcastDownload “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in January 2026, in person or virtual) HEREThe Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program August Promo Save $333 HERE.

In this episode, Marsha dives into one of the most charged parts of leadership and visibility: criticism. If you want to be seen, heard, and impactful, this conversation is essential listening.Marsha breaks down why visibility is not a strategy problem, but a nervous system and identity issue. Drawing from personal experiences, client stories, and NLP principles, she explains why criticism hits so deeply, how the subconscious scans for danger, and why one negative comment can drown out fifty supportive ones if you let it.This episode is a permission slip to stay in your lane, keep your side of the street clean, and continue rising even when others try to pull you back.Highlights[02:05] Why visibility is nervous system work, not just strategy[04:40] A personal story of being harshly judged and the moment everything shifted[06:30] Why criticism hurts most when it mirrors something unhealed inside you[08:20] The truth about judgment: it's never actually about you[10:15] Collaboration vs criticism and why your circle shapes your expansion[12:45] You will never be criticized by someone who has done what you're doing[15:05] How the brain's threat system fixates on one negative voice[17:10] Choosing to focus on truth instead of emotional noise[19:40] The “sides of the street” metaphor and staying in your values[23:55] Boosters on a rocket and why some people are not meant to come with you[28:10] Keeping your side of the street clean, regardless of how others behave[31:30] A reminder not to shrink, because your voice is meant to help someoneMarsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and PodcasterJoin the 2026 HWCEO Mastermind: https://meghan-weir.thrivecart.com/hwceomastermind/Unbothered Mind Private Podcast https://www.marshavanw.com/unbotheredmindpodcastUnbothered Entrepreneur Masterclass (for the Podcast Listeners): https://www.marshavanw.com/unbothered-entrepreneur-masterclass-podcastDownload “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in January 2026, in person or virtual) HEREThe Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program August Promo Save $333 HERE.

In today's episode, Marsha explores what it truly means to stay Heart-Wired when life feels heavy, uncertain, or emotionally demanding. Recorded during the holidays, this conversation meets listeners in the reality that leadership, visibility, and openness don't pause just because things are hard — and neither does the nervous system's instinct to protect.Marsha breaks down the difference between being hard wired (armored, shut down, surviving) and heart wired (regulated, open, emotionally present), and why most people default to protection when things feel unpredictable. Drawing from neuroscience, lived experience, and real world examples, she explains how staying open isn't about bypassing pain, but about building capacity, self trust, and sustainable leadership.This episode is an invitation to stop armoring up, reconnect with your heart as a source of intelligence and safety, and lead yourself forward even when it would feel easier to shut down.Highlights[00:45] Why staying heart wired is hardest exactly when you need it most[01:20] The science of heart to brain communication and why thinking harder doesn't help[02:15] Why slowing down, breathing, and listening create more clarity than force[03:10] Hard wired vs heart wired: survival mode versus regulated leadership[04:05] Why numbing out and armoring up feel easier but cost you more long term[05:10] The subconscious need for predictability and why hard seasons trigger shutdown[06:05] Common fear stories that surface under stress: “I'm too much” and “If they see me, they'll leave”[07:10] How armoring kills creativity, connection, and support[08:00] Regulating through breath and anchoring back into the heart[08:55] Vulnerability as expansion, not weakness[09:50] Turning discomfort, criticism, and visibility into leadership fuel[11:05] Why belief is the foundation required for what you're building next[13:00] Your heart as a superpower meant to be used when things are hardMarsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and PodcasterJoin the 2026 HWCEO Mastermind: https://meghan-weir.thrivecart.com/hwceomastermind/Unbothered Mind Private Podcast https://www.marshavanw.com/unbotheredmindpodcastUnbothered Entrepreneur Masterclass (for the Podcast Listeners): https://www.marshavanw.com/unbothered-entrepreneur-masterclass-podcastDownload “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in January 2026, in person or virtual) HEREThe Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program August Promo Save $333 HERE.

In this episode, Marsha is speaking with Charles and Heidi Hatley. They are the honest, unfiltered voices behind Kava and Kettlebells, a podcast that's redefining strength, sobriety, and intentional living. Charles is a U.S. Air Force veteran and small-business consultant; Heidi is a personal trainer, homeschooling mom, and traumatic brain injury (TBI) survivor. Together, they're raising their kids, lifting heavy weights, and sipping kava in a world saturated with alcohol.After surviving a life-altering car crash, they turned to natural healing—rebuilding their lives through movement, faith, and a botanical alternative called kava. Today, they are advocates for stronger minds and calmer bodies through sober living and holistic practices. Their story is a testament to the power of choice: choosing sobriety, choosing strength, and choosing to live life with clarity.Highlights [03:55] The early signs something wasn't working despite outward success[06:20] A defining moment that forced a shift in direction[09:10] How identity and self worth were shaped by early experiences[12:45] Recognizing patterns that kept repeating in life and business[16:05] The role of nervous system regulation in sustainable change[18:40] Letting go of perfectionism and the pressure to prove[22:15] Why growth often feels uncomfortable before it feels expansive[26:30] Rewriting old stories instead of reacting from them[30:05] Building trust with yourself after burnout or disappointment[34:20] What aligned success actually looks like now[38:10] Advice for listeners navigating their own season of changeConnect with Charles and Heidi Hatley:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kava_kettlebellsWebsite: http://www.kavaandkettlebells.netTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kava_kettlebellsMarsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and PodcasterJoin the 2026 HWCEO Mastermind: https://meghan-weir.thrivecart.com/hwceomastermind/Unbothered Entrepreneur Masterclass (for the Podcast Listeners): https://www.marshavanw.com/unbothered-entrepreneur-masterclass-podcastUnbothered Mind Podcast https://www.marshavanw.com/unbotheredmindpodcastDownload FREE “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in March 2025) HERELearn more about changing the Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program

In today's episode, Marsha reframes why goals often fizzle out by mid January and introduces a concept most people never stop to measure: capacity. Rather than pushing harder, adding more, or proving you can handle it all, she explains why sustainable growth depends on nervous system regulation, subconscious safety, and honest self leadership.Marsha shares how being led by ideas instead of capacity once created burnout, resentment, and pressure, and how learning to pause, shelf ideas, and listen inward completely changed how she builds, scales, and serves. Through real examples from her business, including canceling programs, restructuring her calendar, and postponing high touch client work, she shows how honoring capacity actually creates better results, deeper impact, and long term growth.This episode is an invitation to stop asking “Can I do this?” and start asking “Can I hold this?” If you are building something meaningful in 2026, this conversation will change how you make decisions, set boundaries, and lead yourself.Highlights[01:22] Why goals often fizzle out in January and the role capacity plays[01:43] What capacity actually means beyond pushing harder[02:23] Why sustainable growth requires patience, not urgency[03:32] Being led by ideas versus being led by nervous system capacity[04:19] Capacity as the bridge between ambition and results[04:44] When ambition works against you instead of for you[05:26] How burnout, comparison, and proving energy signal dysregulation[06:38] Checking capacity first prevents resentment and exhaustion[07:09] Canceling and refunding a program as an act of aligned leadership[08:22] Letting ideas mature instead of forcing them into the world[09:15] Why your body blocks opportunities it doesn't feel safe to hold[12:12] Building a business that supports who you are becomingMarsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and PodcasterJoin the 2026 HWCEO Mastermind: https://meghan-weir.thrivecart.com/hwceomastermind/Unbothered Mind Private Podcast https://www.marshavanw.com/unbotheredmindpodcastUnbothered Entrepreneur Masterclass (for the Podcast Listeners): https://www.marshavanw.com/unbothered-entrepreneur-masterclass-podcastDownload “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in January 2026, in person or virtual) HEREThe Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program August Promo Save $333 HERE.Tap the “Follow” button never to miss a show, and if you love the show, please feel free to tag me on social media, share it with a friend, or leave me a rating and review.

At the start of a new year filled with big goals, vision boards, and fresh planners, Marsha offers a grounding reframe that changes everything: the vision is not the problem — identity is. In this powerful solo episode, she breaks down why goals collapse, self sabotage shows up, or momentum fades when your identity and nervous system are not calibrated to hold what you want to create.Drawing from NLP, subconscious rewiring, and real time examples from her own business, Marsha explains why identity is the deepest level of change and why strategy without identity work leads to burnout, contraction, and frustration. She walks listeners through how identity shapes beliefs, habits, language, and nervous system safety, and how micro shifts in language, boundaries, and self leadership create sustainable growth.This episode is an invitation to stop asking “What do I want?” and start asking “Who am I choosing to become?” If you want this year to feel different not because you worked harder, but because you led yourself differently, this conversation will land.Highlights[01:42] Why the vision isn't the problem and identity always is[02:32] The most important question to ask before setting goals: who can actually hold this[04:08] Identity as the deepest level of change in NLP[04:45] The ceiling and floor metaphor and why belief determines capacity[05:29] Why habits don't create identity — identity creates habits[06:39] How goal setting from lack guarantees self sabotage[07:42] Why vision boards fail when identity doesn't match the image[08:30] Self sabotage as self protection, not weakness[09:55] A real example of identity contraction around expansion and opportunity[11:11] How identity shapes what you see, hear, and feel[14:03] Speaking identity into existence through present tense language[18:48] Asking better questions: who do I choose to be this year?Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and PodcasterJoin the 2026 HWCEO Mastermind: https://meghan-weir.thrivecart.com/hwceomastermind/Unbothered Mind Private Podcast https://www.marshavanw.com/unbotheredmindpodcastUnbothered Entrepreneur Masterclass (for the Podcast Listeners): https://www.marshavanw.com/unbothered-entrepreneur-masterclass-podcastDownload “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in January 2026, in person or virtual) HEREThe Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program August Promo Save $333 HERE.Tap the “Follow” button never to miss a show, and if you love the show, please feel free to tag me on social media, share it with a friend, or leave me a rating and review.

In this episode, Marsha speaks with Tom LeNoble, who has led in boardrooms and fought for his life in hospital rooms, surviving two life-threatening illnesses. From shaping growth at Facebook (META), Walmart.com, Palm (HP), and MCI (Verizon) to guiding startups, he's mastered thriving through change. He is the founder of the Tom LeNoble brand and the Opening Pathways podcast. Today, he is CEO of the Academy for Coaching Excellence and a leadership coach with the Miller Center for Global Impact at Santa Clara University. An in-demand speaker, personal coach, and workshop leader, Tom uses his experience and insights to serve others. A committed philanthropist, he champions youth, women, education, and underserved communities and serves on numerous nonprofit boards.In his new book, My Life in Business Suits, Hospital Gowns, and High Heels, releasing in November 2025, Tom shares unflinching lessons on risk, resilience, and reinvention. With candour and wit, he guides others to lead boldly, live fully, and love fiercely – a reminder that, no matter the storms you face, resilience is possible—and reinvention is always within reach.Highlights:[02:55] Tom reveals he's lived with metastatic cancer for 13 years and is still here.[05:05] On resilience: “I've had so much radiation I glow in the dark… it's challenged me to take risks and have resilience, which I define as not just getting back up, but how do we grow from what's happened to us?”[07:50] Tom's mindset for adversity: “Stomp your feet, cry, yell… but the only thing that can happen now is to move forward. This is my reality.”[09:14] The concept of “terrible gifts”: “If you allow it to happen, a gift will come from it. Something will change in your life.”[10:32] On evidence of survival: “We all have this evidence of what we've survived and accomplished… we forget what we've been through and don't bring that evidence with us to the present.”[13:52] Vulnerability in the corporate world: “It's time for us to shift that whole idea that we don't do that in the corporate world… we need to acknowledge that we have real lives.”[20:46] Tom's gratitude practice: “One of the first things I do is express gratitude that I woke up, because I woke up today. Some people didn't.”[22:40] On belief and survival: “At the end of the day, I know something that's true. I believed I could.”[26:04] What matters most: “It doesn't matter what happened to you, it matters what you choose to do with what happened.”[42:41] Tom's favorite Maya Angelou quote: “Every storm runs out of rain. What it creates, that rain, is fertile ground.

In this episode, Marsha shares several questions to support you in defining what you are meant to leave behind from the previous year. Here is a list of questions to ask yourself.1. What story from 2025 no longer serves who I am becoming, and what new meaning am I choosing to give it now?2. Where did I operate from survival, pressure, or fear, and what empowered state do I choose instead for 2026?3. What belief created the most friction this year, and what upgraded belief will create more ease next year?4. What emotional pattern did I overuse in 2025 that I am now retiring, and what emotion will lead me in 2026?5. In what moments did I abandon my needs, and how will I honour myself differently moving forward?6. What version of me worked in 2025 but cannot walk with me into 2026—and who am I choosing to be instead?7. What am I finally willing to release so that my energy, capacity, and identity are free to expand next year?8. What truth about myself did 2025 reveal—and how will I lead with that truth in 2026?Highlights[00:00] Why it's still the perfect time to reflect before setting new goals[01:10] The importance of reviewing the year before creating a vision for the next one[02:05] How limiting decisions quietly crack the foundation of belief[03:10] Why your subconscious cannot move forward while holding outdated identities[03:55] The jug metaphor: making space by releasing old stories[04:05] Question 1: Rewriting the story from 2025 that no longer serves you[04:55] Question 2: Identifying survival, pressure, or fear states and choosing a new operating state[06:55] Question 3: Upgrading beliefs that created friction into beliefs that create ease[08:05] Question 4: Retiring emotional patterns that no longer serve your leadership[09:00] Question 5: Where self abandonment happened and how to lead yourself differently[10:45] Question 6: Honoring parts of you that worked before, without letting them run the future[12:15] Question 7 and 8: Releasing resentment, expanding capacity, and leading with truth in 2026Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and PodcasterJoin the 2026 HWCEO Mastermind: https://meghan-weir.thrivecart.com/hwceomastermind/Unbothered Mind Private Podcast https://www.marshavanw.com/unbotheredmindpodcastUnbothered Entrepreneur Masterclass (for the Podcast Listeners): https://www.marshavanw.com/unbothered-entrepreneur-masterclass-podcastDownload “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in January 2026, in person or virtual) HEREThe Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program August Promo Save $333 HERE.Tap the “Follow” button never to miss a show, and if you love the show, please feel free to tag me on social media, share it with a friend, or leave me a rating and review.

In this milestone 950th episode, Marsha welcomes listeners into the new year with one of the most important conversations you can have before setting goals for 2026. She breaks down the real reason most goals fail, not because of effort or discipline, but because the conscious mind and subconscious mind are not working together.Marsha explains how your subconscious mind runs the majority of your behaviors, decisions, identity, and nervous system responses, even when your conscious mind thinks it is in control. Using simple metaphors and real time examples from her own business, she shows how internal contraction, fear, and old programming quietly sabotage growth, visibility, and capacity.This episode is an invitation to pause, take inventory, and stop trying to outwork beliefs your body does not yet feel safe holding. If you want 2026 to look different, this conversation will change how you approach goals, support, investment, visibility, and success itself.Highlights[01:05] Why recovery after the holidays matters more than jumping back into productivity[02:20] The power of the pause and how growth happens in stillness[03:10] Your subconscious runs 95 percent of your life, not your conscious mind[04:20] Why vision boards and goal setting only work at the 5 percent level[05:10] The ceiling and floor metaphor and how belief determines capacity[06:30] Conscious goals vs subconscious safety and why they often conflict[07:55] How nervous system contraction quietly blocks expansion[08:50] You cannot outwork what you do not believe is possible[10:05] A real time example of feeling contraction around investment and growth[11:20] Identifying old fear based patterns versus present truth[13:05] Visibility as a subconscious safety issue, not a confidence problem[15:35] Receiving support as a form of rewiring identity and capacityMarsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and PodcasterJoin the 2026 HWCEO Mastermind: https://meghan-weir.thrivecart.com/hwceomastermind/Unbothered Mind Private Podcast https://www.marshavanw.com/unbotheredmindpodcastUnbothered Entrepreneur Masterclass (for the Podcast Listeners): https://www.marshavanw.com/unbothered-entrepreneur-masterclass-podcastDownload “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in January 2026, in person or virtual) HEREThe Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program August Promo Save $333 HERE.

In this final solo episode of the year, Marsha reflects on the identity she is stepping into as she prepares for 2026. Rather than revisiting grief or hard lessons, this conversation focuses on what the year built in her, the internal shifts that created sustainable growth, and the leadership standards she's carrying forward into the new year.Marsha shares ten defining realizations around capacity, regulation, boundaries, identity, creativity, community, and self trust. She unpacks why strategy only works when your nervous system can hold it, how regulated leadership changes everything, and why success actually thrives inside clear boundaries. This episode is an invitation to pause, take inventory, and consciously decide who you are becoming before setting goals for the year ahead.Highlights[02:18] Why this episode is about what the year built, not what broke her[04:52] Capacity before strategy and learning when a yes is actually a no[06:02] Regulated leaders make better decisions and why the pause is power[07:44] Strong boundaries and not every message deserves an immediate response[07:55] Identity first and why results collapse without internal clarity[09:16] Letting go of pressure and recognizing hustle as contraction[10:32] Trusting her voice as an asset and learning to pivot in real time[11:55] Community over isolation and learning how to receive support[13:21] Ending the pattern of playing small and reframing self doubt[14:40] Creativity, play, and why fun is actually productive[15:45] Why success loves boundaries and self honesty[17:47] You are not behind and sustainable growth happens in regulationMarsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and PodcasterJoin the 2026 HWCEO Mastermind: https://meghan-weir.thrivecart.com/hwceomastermind/Unbothered Mind Private Podcast https://www.marshavanw.com/unbotheredmindpodcastUnbothered Entrepreneur Masterclass (for the Podcast Listeners): https://www.marshavanw.com/unbothered-entrepreneur-masterclass-podcastDownload “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in January 2026, in person or virtual) HEREThe Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program August Promo Save $333 HERE.

In this episode, Marsha shares an unfiltered wrap up of her year through the lens of identity level growth. Inspired by a viral “Spotify Wrapped for your life” trend, she walks listeners through what it really looks like when your identity cracks open so your capacity can expand.This was not a year of mild discomfort. It was a year of deep nervous system work, grief, growth, and profound internal rewiring. Marsha reflects on massive professional expansion, personal loss, shifting values, letting go of hustle, and learning to listen to her body instead of pushing through it.This episode is a reminder that growth often feels destabilizing before it feels empowering, and that identity shifts are uncomfortable by design. If your year stretched you, broke you open, or forced you to change how you lead, rest, or relate to yourself, this conversation will land.Highlights[03:40] The viral ChatGPT wrap up that perfectly captured the energy of her year[06:10] Why this year felt like an identity level reckoning, not just growth[09:25] The difference between wins and capacity building[12:50] A breakdown of everything that was brand new in business this year[17:30] Why grief was the dominant emotion, even in a successful year[21:05] Capacity growth is uncomfortable and there is no way around it[24:40] Identity shifts feel like pressure before expansion[28:15] How NLP explains identity change at the deepest level[33:10] Realizing her values had changed because they were now embodied[36:45] Letting go of hustle and asking for help instead[41:20] What happens when your body forces you to listen[45:30] Why this year didn't break her, it expanded herMarsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and PodcasterJoin the 2026 HWCEO Mastermind: https://meghan-weir.thrivecart.com/hwceomastermind/Unbothered Mind Private Podcast https://www.marshavanw.com/unbotheredmindpodcastUnbothered Entrepreneur Masterclass (for the Podcast Listeners): https://www.marshavanw.com/unbothered-entrepreneur-masterclass-podcastDownload “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in January 2026, in person or virtual) HEREThe Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program August Promo Save $333 HERE.

In this end of year solo episode, Marsha does something different. Instead of sharing the highlights, wins, or best moments of the year, she opens up about the 10 hardest lessons that shaped her, stretched her, and ultimately changed the way she leads, rests, loves, and builds.From profound loss and grief to boundaries, visibility, rest, identity, and emotional capacity, Marsha reflects on a year of shedding, healing, and recalibration.

In today's episode, Marsha calls out one of the biggest reasons the holiday season feels so damn heavy: you're carrying way more than what's actually yours. From impossible expectations to emotional labour to family dynamics that would test a saint, Marsha breaks down why December often feels like a pressure cooker, and how to get out of the cycle of over-responsibility, overwhelm, and burnout.She shares real stories from her early years of marriage, how decades of obligation created resentment, and the game-changing realization that the holidays weren't draining… her lack of boundaries was. Marsha teaches how to stay regulated even when everyone wants something from you, how your subconscious listens to the words you speak, and how to build a December that feels grounded, present, and doable.If you've ever felt like the strong one who must carry everything, or the person who keeps everyone happy at the cost of yourself, this episode is your permission slip to put that sh*t down.Highlights [01:35] Why December feels so heavy and why “carrying it all” is an impossible job[03:12] The backpack metaphor: realizing only 5–10 percent of what you carry is actually yours[05:44] Early marriage stories: driving everywhere, no sleep, and traditions that created burnout[08:01] The truth bomb: the holidays weren't draining — her lack of boundaries was[10:20] How resentment reveals where boundaries are missing[12:10] The subconscious listens to your words: why “I'm exhausted” becomes your reality[15:14] Breaking the belief that you must do it all for everyone[17:02] Imagining a December that feels grounded instead of chaotic[18:58] Asking for help without guilt and setting realistic expectations[20:47] The difference between numb and unbothered[22:55] The cup and saucer metaphor: giving from overflow, not depletion[25:36] How small daily choices help you show up more present, more grounded, and more youMarsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and PodcasterUnbothered Mind Private Podcast https://www.marshavanw.com/unbotheredmindpodcastUnbothered Entrepreneur Masterclass (for the Podcast Listeners): https://www.marshavanw.com/unbothered-entrepreneur-masterclass-podcastDownload “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in January 2026, in person or virtual) HEREThe Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program August Promo Save $333 HERE.

In this grounded and deeply relatable solo episode, Marsha opens up about why the holiday season can trigger old patterns, heavy memories, and emotional spirals — and how to rewrite those automatic responses in real time. She shares a personal moment while decorating her Christmas tree that revealed just how quickly the brain slips into past stories, fear-based thinking, and bracing for the worst.Marsha walks listeners through a powerful reminder: your past does not predict your future and your subconscious is simply trying to keep you safe based on outdated information. Using breathwork, presence, and nervous system regulation, she guides you to shift out of old loops and into a more grounded, peaceful December. Consider this episode your holiday reset — especially if this season tends to feel heavy, overwhelming, or emotionally loaded.Highlights:[02:18] Why the holidays often trigger old memories and emotional spirals[04:31] The moment decorating the tree revealed an outdated subconscious script[06:12] “It happened, it is not happening” — interrupting past based thinking[08:25] How your brain predicts danger using old memories[10:50] Future tripping and bracing for the worst: why it dysregulates you[13:01] Guided visualization to rehearse calm instead of chaos[16:30] Using breathwork to reset your nervous system in under 40 seconds[18:48] Replacing judgment with curiosity: “Interesting.

In this episode, Marsha breaks down the real reason so many high achieving women feel stuck, overwhelmed, or frustrated with their results even when they're “doing everything right.” She explains the crucial difference between ambition (your conscious goals, vision, and drive) and capacity (your subconscious beliefs, emotional safety, and nervous system bandwidth) — and why misalignment between the two creates shutdown, procrastination, and self protection that masquerades as sabotage.Marsha also shares how she handles year end planning, why recapping and stacking wins matters more than rushing into a new vision board, and how her own patterns of ambition once led to burnout. This episode is a grounding reminder that you are not too much, your desires are not too big, and your subconscious simply needs to feel safe enough to hold what you're building.Highlights [00:45] Why you must recap the year before you vision for the next one [03:20] Stacking your wins so your subconscious has evidence of growth [05:55] The quote that shifted everything: ambition without capacity becomes self sabotage [07:42] Conscious mind vs subconscious mind and why they must agree [10:12] How your body hits the brakes when your goals don't feel safe [12:38] Self sabotage vs self protection and why the distinction matters [14:55] A real example of setting a goal your nervous system can't yet hold [17:40] Why building capacity is more important than any vision board [20:33] How Marsha is restructuring support, systems, and her team [22:50] The pattern she had to break: ambition that pushes into burnout [24:13] Solidifying foundations so your ambition can finally work for youMarsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and PodcasterJoin the 2026 HWCEO Mastermind: https://meghan-weir.thrivecart.com/hwceomastermind/Unbothered Mind Private Podcast https://www.marshavanw.com/unbotheredmindpodcastUnbothered Entrepreneur Masterclass (for the Podcast Listeners): https://www.marshavanw.com/unbothered-entrepreneur-masterclass-podcastDownload “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in January 2026, in person or virtual) HEREThe Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program August Promo Save $333 HERE.

In this episode, Marsha breaks down one of the most powerful metaphors she's ever heard about the subconscious mind. If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right — checking the boxes, setting goals, mapping the plan — yet still not seeing the results you want, this one is going to hit home. Using the imagery of a state of the art GPS (your conscious mind) sitting on top of an outdated paper road map (your subconscious mind), Marsha explains why your inner operating systems must match if you want real, lasting change. She walks you through why we get stuck, why the subconscious pulls us back to the familiar even when it no longer serves us, and how upgrading your inner identity creates the safety you need to move forward. This is a must listen for anyone who feels the internal tug of war between where they want to go and what their old patterns are trying to keep them safe from. Episode Highlights [00:50] Why metaphors help the subconscious process and learn [02:30] The conscious mind as the goal setter and 5 percent of the equation [04:40] The subconscious as the outdated paper map trying to keep you safe [06:55] Why you feel stuck even when you're doing everything "right" [10:10] The internal tug of war and the danger of attaching meaning to it [12:15] Why internal safety determines what you can hold and create [14:40] You cannot build a new life on top of an old identity [16:10] Aligning your GPS and your map so the road finally clears Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Join the 2026 HWCEO Mastermind: https://meghan-weir.thrivecart.com/hwceomastermind/ Unbothered Mind Private Podcast https://www.marshavanw.com/unbotheredmindpodcast Unbothered Entrepreneur Masterclass (for the Podcast Listeners): https://www.marshavanw.com/unbothered-entrepreneur-masterclass-podcast Download "You Are Supported" Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in January 2026, in person or virtual) HERE The Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program August Promo Save $333 HERE.

In this episode, Marsha recounts a powerful story known as "The Acres of Diamonds," from Matt Cook's book, Beyond Wanting, which illustrates how individuals frequently overlook the treasures that lie within their own lives while searching desperately for fulfillment elsewhere. The tale follows a farmer in 1800s Africa who, driven by the desire to provide for his family, sells his farm in pursuit of diamonds. After years of fruitless searching and ultimately losing everything, he tragically takes his own life. Ironically, the new owner of the farmer's land discovers that it sits atop one of the richest diamond mines in history, highlighting the notion that what we seek is often right in front of us.

Marsha introduces the concept of the "ceiling" and "floor" in relation to personal beliefs and aspirations. The ceiling represents the highest thoughts one allows themselves to entertain, while the floor symbolizes the deepest beliefs that anchor an individual. She explains that our lives are constructed within the space between these two points, shaped by subconscious programming rather than mere strategy. Marsha discusses the importance of recognizing and challenging limiting beliefs, asserting that individuals do not rise to their goals but rather to the level of their beliefs. She encourages listeners to identify their biggest thoughts and visualize them expansively, while also acknowledging the smaller, limiting beliefs that often hold them back.

In this episode, I am speaking with Meredith Oke. Meredith is the Co-Founder of the Quantum Biology Collective, a Podcast Host, and a Speaker, and she is passionate about bridging the gap between cutting-edge science and everyday well-being. After facing her own health challenges, Meredith discovered the emerging field of quantum biology—the science of how light, water, and circadian rhythms influence human health at the cellular level. Through her work, she helps people move beyond surface-level health fixes and instead address the "light side" of health—how our environment, routines, and habits signal the body to thrive. Her gift lies in translating complex scientific concepts into simple, actionable strategies that help people enhance their sleep, energy, focus, and overall vitality. Meredith's mission is to empower others to understand their own biology and reclaim agency over their health and life. By adjusting daily choices related to light exposure, technology use, and rhythms, her clients and listeners discover how small, consistent changes can lead to powerful transformations.

In this episode, Marsha invites listeners into a deeply personal exploration of the power of thoughts and self-talk. She begins by posing a thought-provoking question: if one were to vocalize their inner thoughts, what would others hear? Would it be a stream of empowering affirmations or a verbal dump of self-doubt and criticism? Marsha emphasizes that our internal dialogue is a powerful broadcast that shapes our reality, and she encourages listeners to reflect on the nature of their own thoughts.

In this episode, Marsha discusses the difference between conscious and subconscious values and highlights the frustration that arises when one's conscious goals clash with subconscious beliefs. Throughout the episode, Marsha explains that while conscious values represent only 5% of our mindset, the remaining 95% is governed by the subconscious. She illustrates how this disconnect can manifest in daily life, where individuals may claim to value freedom or health but find themselves trapped in patterns that contradict those values. Marsha emphasizes that true alignment can only be achieved when both conscious and subconscious values are in harmony. HIGHLIGHTS 00:00:00 - Introduction to Values and Breakthrough Days 00:01:00 - The Disconnect Between Conscious and Subconscious Values 00:02:30 - The Role of the Nervous System in Value Alignment 00:04:00 - Personal Experience with Values Elicitation 00:05:50 - Understanding Identity vs. Values 00:07:30 - The Importance of Ripple Effect as a Value 00:08:30 - Conscious vs. Subconscious Values 00:10:00 - Motivation Direction: Towards vs. Away 00:12:30 - Sustainable Motivation and Moving Forward 00:13:30 - Identifying Subconscious Values 00:15:00 - Reframing Current Values 00:16:30 - Bringing Curiosity to Your Values Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Unbothered Mind Private Podcast https://www.marshavanw.com/unbotheredmindpodcast Unbothered Resilient Entrepreneur Masterclass: https://www.marshavanw.com/Unbotheredmasterclass Download "You Are Supported" Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in January 2026, in person or virtual) HERE The Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program August Promo Save $333 HERE.

In this episode, I challenge the notion that healing must be a heavy, burdensome experience. Instead, I advocate for a lighter approach, where we can learn to feel our emotions without being overwhelmed by them. Throughout the episode, I discuss the concept of nervous system regulation and how it plays a crucial role in our healing journey. I explain that healing does not necessitate a complete pause in our lives; rather, it involves training our minds to respond differently to triggers and challenges. By embracing emotions and learning to navigate them, we can create a sense of safety and calm even amidst growth and expansion.

In this episode, Marsha dives into the distinction between inspiration and activation, sharing her personal insights and experiences that have shaped her understanding of these concepts. She begins by expressing her mixed feelings about being labelled "inspiring," revealing that while she appreciates the sentiment, it often feels superficial unless it leads to tangible change in others' lives. She explains how activation reaches beyond the conscious mind, tapping into one's identity and beliefs, ultimately leading to a shift in perspective and behaviour. Marsha passionately advocates for the importance of language in this process, highlighting how words can program activation in the subconscious mind.

In this episode, I am speaking with Neuroscience Expert | Inventor of BrainTap® | Brain Fitness Pioneer, Dr Patrick K. Porter. Dr. Porter has spent his life asking a radical question: What if we could train the brain like a muscle and transform lives without pills, struggle, or guesswork? Introduced to the power of mind training by his father at an early age, Dr. Porter's lifelong passion has been exploring how visualization, brainwave science, and neuroplasticity can unlock human potential. As a pioneer in brainwave entertainment since the 1980s, Dr. Porter saw possibilities where others saw limitations. He co-developed the first personal brain training device long before "biohacking" became a buzzword, and continues to do so today. He's the mind behind BrainTap®—a revolutionary platform trusted by over 120,000 users, professional athletes, and 3,000+ health clinics worldwide. His work, backed by 30+ clinical studies and spotlighted across The Wall Street Journal, CNN, and The Joe Rogan Experience, proves that brain fitness isn't about puzzles or trends—it's about science, balance, and unlocking the brain's innate ability to heal, perform, and thrive. Through BrainTap and his upcoming book, Brain Fitness Blueprint, Dr. Porter is leading a global movement to help millions reclaim their mental clarity, emotional resilience, and human potential—one brain at a time.

In this episode, Marsha reframes the narrative around resilience, challenging the notion that it is merely a badge of honour or a sign of strength. Instead, she posits that true resilience is about maintaining emotional regulation and resourcefulness in the face of life's inevitable challenges. Throughout the episode, Marsha shares her insights on how to shift perspectives, using a recent example of a client who expressed self-doubt. By flipping the narrative to highlight the client's belief in herself, Marsha illustrates the power of reframing one's story. She emphasizes that resilience is not about relentless grit but about being flexible in thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, allowing for a quicker recovery from setbacks. Marsha introduces the concept of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) as a tool for understanding how our thoughts shape our beliefs and behaviours. She explains that resilience is a state of being that can be cultivated through practice, rather than an inherent trait. By viewing challenges as opportunities for growth, entrepreneurs can develop a more sustainable approach to their journeys.

In this episode, I am thrilled to share my reflections following the Outspoken Master Practitioner immersion, a transformative six-day experience where we practiced and experienced the tools of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming). This was my first time leading such an intensive program, and while it came with its challenges, I emerged with invaluable insights about myself and my coaching practice. I also touch on the subconscious mind's inclination to cling to familiar patterns, even if they lead to exhaustion. I highlight the significance of pausing and integrating our experiences rather than falling into the trap of perfectionism and overdoing it. By recognizing these patterns, we can reprogram our thoughts and create a more balanced approach to our work and lives. HIGHLIGHTS 00:00:00 - Introduction and Reflection on the Outspoken Master Practitioner 00:01:05 - The Dangers of Being "Realistic" 00:02:30 - The Importance of Integration and Rest 00:04:06 - Reprogramming Your Thoughts 00:05:54 - Recognizing Old Patterns and Embracing Change 00:07:21 - The Value of Rest and Reflection 00:08:38 - The Journey of Becoming Unbothered 00:09:56 - Permission to Learn and Grow 00:11:10 - Finding Humour in the Process Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Unbothered Mind Private Podcast https://www.marshavanw.com/unbotheredmindpodcast Meet me at the Heart-Wired CEO LIVE Event on November 7th & 8th.

In this episode, Marsha emphasizes the necessity of inner safety, explaining that our bodies are wired to seek safety and familiarity, often leading to self-sabotage when faced with new challenges. She encourages listeners to recognize their body's responses to goal setting and to cultivate a sense of safety that allows for expansion and growth. Marsha introduces practical strategies such as NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), and subconscious reprogramming techniques to help listeners address limiting beliefs and create a supportive environment for their goals.

In this episode, Marsha reflects on her personal health journey, particularly as she marks the five-year anniversary of her back surgery. She begins by discussing the concept that our bodies inherently know and remember our experiences, referencing the book "The Body Keeps the Score." Marsha reflects on the idea that manifesting is not just about dreaming big but also about speaking life into one's health and well-being. She encourages listeners to recognize that their words, thoughts, and actions are interconnected and that they have the power to shape their health outcomes. By sharing her story, Marsha aims to inspire others to advocate for themselves and to focus on the possibilities of their health journeys rather than the limitations.
