Own Your Choices Own Your Life

In this episode, I reflect on the first six months of 2025 and how I unpack them before setting goals for the remaining six months of the year. It's essential to acknowledge our resilience and the ways we responded during challenging times. Instead of focusing solely on external validation, I encourage listeners to reflect on their own internal growth and the lessons they have learned. There is this idea of a "gap" between our lofty goals and the subconscious beliefs that may hold us back. This gap can manifest as self-doubt, procrastination, or a fear of visibility. Our subconscious mind plays a crucial role in shaping our results, and if our thoughts do not align with our aspirations, we may inadvertently sabotage our progress. In the episode, I share a series of reflective prompts to help listeners identify the stories they tell themselves, the emotions tied to their goals, and the identities they reinforce through their self-talk. By bringing awareness to these patterns, we can begin to rewire our beliefs and align our thoughts with our desired outcomes.

In this episode, I share some insight on how I shift myself through indecision. The real issue isn't the decision itself but the time and energy we spend in the indecisive state. Prolonged indecision can lead to an energy leak, as we worry about disappointing others or making the wrong choice. I share the concept of training our brains to make aligned decisions more quickly and confidently. Our subconscious mind plays a significant role in our decision-making patterns, often leading us to avoid discomfort and fear associated with making choices. I encourage listeners to recognize that indecision is often rooted in outdated beliefs and fears, which can create a gap that keeps us stuck. I share a simple technique, future pacing, to help move out of indecision more quickly.

In this episode, I am sharing the early part of my journey that started with dealing with teen substance abuse, and trying to find the counselling and support that led me to group programs, counsellors, psychologists, and programs, turning over rocks to try to find solutions. In the process, I found the difference between traditional psychology and NLP, recognizing that I am not diagnosing or treating anything. I am sharing my experience.  I eventually discovered a crisis counsellor program that offered me practical guidance during moments of crisis, which was a game-changer for me. This experience led me to question traditional counselling methods, particularly the focus on past trauma, as exemplified by Freud's approach. Instead, I found solace and empowerment in Adler's future-focused perspective, which aligns closely with NLP. NLP is based on shifting our identity and focusing on the future rather than reliving and giving energy to our past traumas, easily allowing that to become our identity.

In this episode, I discuss the visceral feeling of contraction that often arises when we face overwhelming challenges or opportunities or when a limiting belief is rising to the surface that is ready to be released. This physical response is our subconscious mind's signal to pay attention. Instead of interpreting this discomfort as a sign of inadequacy or fear, this is an invitation to see this contraction as a positive sign to release a limiting belief that no longer serves you.  HIGHLIGHTS 00:00:00 - Introduction to Contraction as a Gift 00:01:00 - Understanding the Subconscious Mind 00:02:30 - The Role of Limiting Beliefs 00:04:00 - Getting Curious About Contraction 00:05:30 - Client Example: Contraction and Money 00:07:30 - Rewiring Limiting Beliefs 00:09:00 - Personal Experience with Expansion 00:10:30 - Questions to Explore Your Contraction 00:12:00 - Embracing Contraction for Growth Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Download “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE  Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in Oct 2025 in person or virtual) HERE Learn more about changing the Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program HERE.

In this episode, I share a personal moment when I found myself in a hectic period, balancing work commitments and supporting my husband through his recovery from an injury. This whirlwind of activity led me to a moment of exhaustion, prompting me to listen to my body and take a much-needed break. I shared this experience, highlighting the importance of embodiment work and how slowing down can help us process emotions and support our nervous systems. I received a challenging message that triggered a sense of contraction within me. I discussed how this contraction is often our subconscious mind signalling danger, and I encouraged listeners to recognize that feeling without attaching negative meanings to it.  HIGHLIGHTS 00:00:00 - Introduction to Real Life Moments 00:01:15 - The Challenge of Subconscious Patterns 00:02:30 - Navigating Busy Times and Self-Care 00:04:00 - Listening to Your Body's Needs 00:05:30 - Embracing Emotions and Limiting Beliefs 00:07:00 - Recognizing Contraction and Safety 00:08:30 - Shifting Beliefs and Receiving Opportunities 00:10:00 - The Power of Beliefs in Receiving Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Download “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE  Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in Oct 2025 in person or virtual) HERE Learn more about changing the Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program HERE.

In this episode, I share my thoughts on the common tendency to chase after goals—reaching a new income level, achieving a sold-out offer, or becoming the version of ourselves we aspire to be. I emphasize that instead of chasing these external validations, we should focus on becoming the person who embodies those goals. Chasing often stems from a place of lack, where we seek external validation to feel worthy. I share stories of individuals who achieved their goals only to find that they still felt unfulfilled, highlighting the importance of internal validation. Throughout the episode, I explore leading from identity rather than chasing lack. I discuss how our nervous systems can become anxious when we feel we are not enough, leading to a constant state of seeking safety and validation. I encourage listeners to reflect on their definitions of success and safety and how these beliefs shape their actions. HIGHLIGHTS 00:01:00 - The Commonality of Feelings 00:02:00 - Shifting from Chasing to Becoming 00:03:00 - Understanding Internal Safety 00:04:00 - Signs of Chasing from Lack 00:05:00 - Reinforcing Identity vs. Lack 00:06:00 - The Power of Feeling Safe to Receive 00:07:00 - Future Pacing and Visualization 00:08:00 - Leading from the Inside Out Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Download “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE  Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in March 2025) HERE Learn more about changing the Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program HERE.

In this episode, I speak with Jane Roos, CAN Fund Founder, Artist, Speaker, and Gallery Owner. Jane's journey is nothing short of inspiring, as she shares her life story, which took a dramatic turn at a young age when she was involved in a tragic car accident that claimed the life of her best friend. This pivotal moment forced Jane to reevaluate her life and ultimately led her to discover her true purpose. Jane describes how she has always been an entrepreneur, influenced by her athletic and artistic family background. Despite the challenges she faced after the accident, including multiple surgeries and the loss of her athletic and modelling careers, Jane found a way to channel her experiences into something positive. She founded CanFund, a charity dedicated to supporting Canadian athletes by providing them with financial assistance to pursue their dreams of competing on the world stage. Jane emphasizes the importance of understanding one's "why" and living intentionally. She reflects on how the accident shifted her perspective, allowing her to appreciate life more deeply and encouraging her to help others. Jane's passion for supporting athletes is evident as she discusses CanFund's impact over the years, helping over 8,000 athletes achieve their goals.

In this episode, I discuss the internal conflict many of us experience, which I metaphorically call a "war" within ourselves. This internal struggle often arises when two parts of us desire different outcomes, leading to feelings of doubt, fear, and uncertainty. I explore how resisting these conflicting parts can perpetuate a cycle of self-sabotage and emotional turmoil. Drawing from a recent in-person Outspoken Intensive, I introduce the powerful tool of Parts Integration, a technique rooted in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). This method allows individuals to recognize and reconcile their opposing parts, ultimately leading to alignment and peace. I emphasize that it's normal to have conflicting desires, such as wanting to grow a business while fearing the responsibilities that come with it.

In this episode, I am talking about how sharing our stories can lead to deep healing. I reflect on my own journey of speaking out about my experiences, particularly around the challenges of dealing with teen substance abuse and the misconceptions I held about healing. I emphasize that many of us often feel the need to have everything perfectly aligned before we share our truths, but this mindset can block our healing process. I share a pivotal moment from my past when I realized that speaking about my struggles not only helped me feel less alone but also opened doors to healing I never anticipated.

Today, I am speaking with Podcast Host, Travis Robinson.  Travis' life might seem defined by obstacles. Diagnosed with Parkinson's, he's faced relentless challenges—some expected, like mobility struggles, and others completely unforeseen, like losing his home and all of his photography gear in the Eaton fire. But rather than letting these hardships define him, Travis has built a life that proves limitations are meant to be challenged.

In this episode, I want to share the journey of writing a book. It's a dream for many, with 81% of people expressing a desire to write a book, yet fewer than 1% actually follow through and publish one. I want to challenge you to consider whether you want to be part of the 99% who never take that leap or join the less than 1% who do. Throughout the episode, I explore the common fears and beliefs that hold aspiring authors back. Many struggle with feelings of inadequacy, fearing that their stories aren't significant enough or that they might hurt others. I emphasize that these fears often stem from a subconscious desire for safety and protection from exposure. It's crucial to recognize that the intent behind these fears is to keep you safe, but they can also prevent you from sharing your truth and helping others. HIGHLIGHTS 00:00:00 - Introduction to Writing Your Book 00:01:00 - The Statistics of Aspiring Authors 00:02:00 - Overcoming Mental Barriers 00:03:00 - The Importance of Strategy vs. Mindset 00:04:00 - Fear and Doubt in Writing 00:05:00 - Identifying Hidden Fears 00:06:00 - Shifting Focus from Self to Reader 00:07:00 - Reframing Your Beliefs 00:08:00 - Creating a Safe Writing Environment 00:09:00 - Visualizing Success 00:10:00 - The Bigger Picture of Sharing Your Story 00:11:00 - Training Your Nervous System 00:12:00 - Engaging Your Audience Early 00:13:00 - Collaborative Book Opportunities Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Download “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE  Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in March 2025) HERE Learn more about changing the Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program HERE.

In this episode, I am sharing the concept of alignment and how it can sometimes feel boring or uncomfortable, especially if you're used to living in chaos. We are conditioned to gravitate towards what feels familiar, even if it's not what we truly want. Our subconscious minds often choose chaos over peace because it's what we know. I emphasize that if you find yourself repeatedly returning to unhealthy relationships or stressful situations, it's likely because they feel normal to you. Imagine what it would feel like to train and reprogram your subconscious mind to become familiar with peace instead of chaos.  You can create a whole new baseline. HIGHLIGHTS 00:00:00 - Introduction and Gratitude for Listener Feedback 00:01:15 - Finding Your Unique Way 00:02:30 - Understanding Familiarity and Chaos 00:04:00 - The Importance of Rewiring Your Nervous System 00:05:50 - Recognizing Boredom as Alignment 00:07:30 - The Role of Consistency in Long-Term Success 00:09:00 - Celebrating Progress and Achievements 00:10:30 - Future Pacing and Visualizing Success 00:12:00 - Creating Achievable Outcomes 00:13:30 - Grounded Leadership Amidst Chaos 00:15:00 - Embracing Peace and Healing Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Download “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE  Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in March 2025) HERE Learn more about changing the Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program HERE.

In this episode, I am sharing my take on the concept of "Let Them," inspired by Mel Robbins' teachings. I share my own journey and the lessons I've learned about control, choice, and the importance of allowing others to navigate their paths. I begin by reflecting on my experience attending a Mel Robbins event, where her powerful message resonated with me, despite my initial discomfort. I discuss how the idea of "Let Them" felt foreign to me as a parent who has faced the challenges of teen substance abuse. For me, the concept was not just about relinquishing control over trivial matters like prom; it was a matter of survival. I had to learn to let my children make their own choices, even when those choices were difficult for me to understand.  HIGHLIGHTS 00:00:23 - Inspiration from Mel Robbins 00:01:05 - The Concept of "Let Them" 00:02:31 - Survival Through Letting Go 00:03:37 - Lessons from Parenting Challenges 00:04:52 - The Illusion of Control 00:06:37 - The Power of Releasing Control 00:08:11 - Personal Responsibility and Choices 00:09:57 - Finding Safety Within 00:11:02 - Living at Cause 00:12:47 - Reclaiming Personal Power Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Download “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE  Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in March 2025) HERE Learn more about changing the Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program HERE.

In this episode, I share the power of metaphors and how they can help us understand our subconscious mind. I share a compelling metaphor involving two electrical outlets, one representing our past and the other our future. On the left side, we have the "old plug," connected to our daily thoughts, old patterns, and negative beliefs—essentially everything that has shaped who we are up to this point. This side is familiar and feels safe, but it often keeps us in a negative cycle. On the right side, we have the "new plug," which symbolizes our future potential, aspirations, and the identity we are striving to become. This outlet is connected to our visions and the possibilities that lie ahead. Every thought we have throughout the day is like a choice to plug into one of these outlets. The challenge is becoming aware of which plug we are connecting to and consciously choosing the one that aligns with our desired future. HIGHLIGHTS 00:00:00 - Introduction to Metaphors 00:00:12 - The Concept of Two Plugs 00:00:43 - Old Thoughts and Patterns 00:01:37 - The Future Plug 00:02:30 - Choosing Your Plug 00:03:45 - Reinforcing Neural Pathways 00:04:58 - Conscious Awareness and Unplugging 00:06:22 - Empowerment and Energy 00:07:25 - Changing Your Story 00:08:08 - Becoming Your Future Self Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Download “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE  Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in March 2025) HERE Learn more about changing the Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program HERE.

In this episode, I connect with CEO & FOUNDER of the DBL JEWELLERY EMPOWERMENT MOVEMENT, KRISTA LEE. Krista is the visionary founder of a luxury women's empowerment jewelry brand dedicated to inspiring women to embrace their strength, self-worth, and purpose. Her journey began after overcoming personal struggles, including depression and body dysmorphia, finding healing through creativity and the power of words. She believes that everything we need is already within us—we just have to take the steps forward each day toward our dreams. Through her transformative jewelry, she empowers women to trust their inner guidance, embrace their calling, and show up for themselves confidently and purposefully.

In this episode, I share the concept of becoming the version of ourselves that can hold our dreams before we chase them. Our nervous systems must feel safe and regulated to pursue our goals effectively. If we rush into chasing what we want without first anchoring into our identity, we risk operating from a place of lack rather than power. I share my journey of deciding to publish "Unreserved," highlighting the month I took to reflect on whether I was ready for such a significant commitment. This pause allowed me to assess my beliefs, emotional state, and the blocks that could hinder my ability to lead and sustain the energy of this project. If we chase our goals without addressing our internal barriers, we may experience burnout, self-sabotage, and the inability to sustain the results we are constructing and creating.

In this episode, I share the journey of identity work and the ongoing process of breaking down limiting beliefs. After the exhilarating experience of the unreserved book launch party, which involved coordinating with 24 different authors and connecting with women from around the globe, I reflect on the personal growth from such expansive experiences. I emphasize that identity work is not a one-time breakthrough but rather a continuous process of chipping away at the concrete walls of limiting beliefs we have built over the years, if not decades. I share a powerful metaphor: just as you cannot smash through a thick concrete wall in one swing, you must chip away at it gradually. This analogy illustrates how we can shift our identities by consistently challenging and replacing our limiting beliefs. HIGHLIGHTS 00:01:00 - The Process of Identity Expansion 00:02:00 - Understanding Breakthroughs 00:03:00 - Chipping Away at Limiting Beliefs 00:04:00 - The Role of the Subconscious Mind 00:05:00 - Identifying Limiting Beliefs 00:06:00 - Rewiring Beliefs 00:07:00 - Finding Evidence of Change 00:08:00 - Anchoring New Beliefs 00:09:00 - Daily Commitment to Change 00:10:00 - The Decision to Change 00:11:00 - Final Thoughts and Support Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Download “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE  Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in March 2025) HERE Learn more about changing the Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program HERE.

In this episode, I connect with Health and Wellness Coach Johanna Gordon.  In 2019, Johanna experienced the heartbreaking loss of her mother to cancer after years of struggling with alcoholism. This loss was the catalyst of Johanna's healing journey, prompting her to seek therapeutic avenues and ultimately leading her to reevaluate her life choices. She candidly shared her feelings of stagnation and the realization that she needed to make significant changes to live a more fulfilling life. This profound loss deeply affected her, inspiring a renewed commitment to prioritize her mental and emotional health. Johanna's healing journey became transformative, strengthening her dedication to nurturing her physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Along the way, she explored various therapeutic modalities and discovered a passion for supporting others in their own health journeys. Her perspective on reparenting oneself and nurturing the inner child resonated deeply, highlighting the transformative power of self-love and acceptance.

In this episode, I am sharing some thoughts on the difference between reacting and responding and how this is connected to a lack or abundance mindset. As we navigate through life's challenges, especially when we feel overwhelmed, it's easy to slip into a reactive mode. Our reactions, which often stem from a place of lack and frustration, continues to reinforce the reality we are living in, and how, by reacting, we may inadvertently be fighting for our limitations. Whatever limitations we fight for, we get to keep.  HIGHLIGHTS 00:01:04 - Reacting vs. Responding 00:02:07 - The Impact of Reactions 00:03:42 - Navigating Life's Demands 00:04:24 - Reinforcing Limitations 00:05:17 - Interrupting the Reaction Pattern 00:06:31 - The Metaphor of a Parasite 00:07:57 - Catching the Reaction 00:09:14 - Building Capacity Through Awareness 00:10:01 - Choosing Safety Without Evidence 00:10:54 - Anchoring into Your Highest Self 00:12:01 - Feeling Wealthy Amidst Lack 00:13:13 - Shifting from Reactivity to Empowerment 00:14:07 - Starving the Reaction Patterns 00:14:40 - Reclaiming Personal Power Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Download “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE  Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in March 2025) HERE Learn more about changing the Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program HERE.

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

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

In this episode, I ask the question, "Can you hold a vision when you can't see it yet?" I challenge the notion that we must wait for tangible evidence, like a certain bank balance or a fully booked calendar, before we can embody the person capable of achieving our dreams. We must first become that person internally to sustain the success we desire. Drawing from my personal experience, I recount my journey from being a kinesiologist for 27 years to embracing my calling as a coach. In 2019, I felt an unshakeable intuition that I would transition into coaching, despite not having a clear plan or business. Through continuous challenges and roadblocks, I continued to write and trust that I was being guided toward something greater.  HIGHLIGHTS 00:01:05 - The Challenge of Holding a Vision 00:02:32 - Personal Story: Transitioning Careers 00:03:36 - Identity Shift During Uncertainty 00:05:09 - The Role of Identity in Achieving Goals 00:06:34 - Repetition and Reprogramming 00:07:48 - Building a Bridge to Your Vision 00:09:14 - Self-Leadership and Vision 00:10:39 - Visualizing Your Future Self 00:12:07 - Celebrating Growth and Progress 00:13:43 - Upcoming Events and Community 00:14:15 - Encouragement to Pursue Goals Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Download “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE  Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in March 2025) HERE Learn more about changing the Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program HERE.

In this episode, I am sharing about the unexpected ways in which our desires manifest. I want to keep it real and share my insights on how asking the universe for something big often leads to challenges and discomfort rather than immediate fulfillment. I begin by discussing the concept of expansion and contraction, emphasizing that when we seek growth, whether it's in our personal lives, careers, or finances, we often encounter obstacles that feel like setbacks. I share my own journey of asking for expansion this year, only to face a series of personal and professional challenges that left me feeling like I was experiencing the opposite of what I desired. In one example, I share how my husband's injury during a crucial competition I illustrate how life can throw us curveballs just when we think we're on the right path. I reflect on the emotional turmoil that comes with these experiences and how they serve as lessons to help us grow into the versions of ourselves that can truly hold our dreams. HIGHLIGHTS 00:01:00 - The Nature of Asking for Growth 00:02:00 - Lessons vs. Dreams: The Reality of Expansion 00:04:00 - Recognizing Contraction as Evidence of Growth 00:05:00 - Reframing Your Perspective on Challenges 00:06:00 - Handling Abundance and Contraction 00:07:00 - The Importance of Trusting the Process 00:08:00 - Identifying What You Asked For This Year 00:09:00 - The Role of Your Subconscious Mind 00:10:00 - Rewiring Your Beliefs Through Consistency 00:11:00 - Emotional Regulation Techniques 00:12:00 - Leadership in Difficult Times 00:13:00 - The Universe is Preparing You 00:14:00 - Embracing Challenges as Part of Growth Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Download “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE  Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in March 2025) HERE Learn more about changing the Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program HERE.

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

In this episode, I share some thoughts on doubt and how much space it takes up in our lives. Doubt can occupy a significant portion of our lives, often overshadowing our sense of certainty and self-confidence. This episode emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and regulating our emotions, particularly doubt, which can feel like a volcano ready to erupt.

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

In this episode, I am sharing the message of being "cracked open" by life's challenges and how these moments can lead to personal growth and clarity. I begin by sharing a powerful quote from Rebecca Campbell's book, "Light is the New Black," which emphasizes the importance of embracing the things that break us down, as they ultimately allow the light to shine through. This is a personal episode as I share the story of my husband, Brad, a Master's Olympic lifter, who faced a serious injury during a competition. As he set national records, he suffered a painful elbow injury that required immediate medical attention. This situation forced us to navigate a whirlwind of emotions and decisions, all while managing the urgency of his condition and the pressures of our personal and professional lives. Throughout the episode, I reflect on the overwhelming nature of life when it feels like everything is happening at once. I discuss how, in these moments, we often find ourselves stuck in overthinking and fear, but I emphasize the importance of trusting our bodies and instincts to guide us through tough decisions. I share how I learned to pause, breathe, and listen to my inner voice, which often knows the answers we seek, even when our minds are racing. HIGHLIGHTS 00:00:00 - Cracked Open: Embracing Vulnerability 00:01:15 - The Pressure of Decision-Making 00:02:40 - Trusting Your Body's Intuition 00:04:48 - Navigating Crisis: A Personal Story 00:06:45 - Making Decisions Under Pressure 00:09:04 - Finding Clarity in Chaos 00:10:20 - The Power of Grounded Presence 00:12:08 - Stripping Away the Noise 00:13:12 - Accessing Your Authentic Voice 00:14:25 - Trusting Your Body for True Power 00:15:52 - Embracing the Cracks for Growth 00:17:08 - Final Thoughts: Letting Your Voice Be Heard Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Download “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE  Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in March 2025) HERE Learn more about changing the Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program HERE.

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

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

In this episode, I highlight the importance of awareness in recognizing these limiting beliefs. I discuss how our subconscious can drive us back to familiar patterns, often leading to self-sabotage. I encourage listeners to confront these thoughts and reframe them, asking themselves whether they are valid. Doing so can interrupt the negative loops that keep us from reaching our full potential. Things can become easier, but they never truly become easy. As we grow, we often confront subconscious beliefs that can hinder our progress. I candidly share my experiences of feeling nervous and self-doubting as I expand my offerings, particularly with the launch of my Master Practitioner program in NLP. This new venture felt daunting, and I found myself fighting with old narratives about success and worthiness, and the last year has been feeling all the discomfort of growth, even though it doesn't mean that I can't do it, it is just new and expansive and your nervous system has to learn how to hold your new growth.   HIGHLIGHTS 00:01:00 - The Misconception of Growth 00:02:00 - Embracing New Responsibilities 00:03:00 - Confronting Subconscious Beliefs 00:04:00 - The Importance of Data 00:05:00 - Self-Sabotage Awareness 00:06:00 - Transformational Breakthroughs 00:07:00 - Recognizing Evidence of Success 00:08:00 - Stacking Wins 00:09:00 - Protecting Your Subconscious 00:10:00 - Empowerment Through Rewiring 00:11:00 - Building a Better Relationship with Stories Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Download “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE  Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in March 2025) HERE Learn more about changing the Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program HERE.

In this episode, I explore how we can shift our mindset from feeling like an imposter to embracing our authority. I start by posing a thought-provoking question: How would you like to perceive imposter syndrome differently? I emphasize that authority doesn't have to be a triggering term; it can simply mean owning your life and your message. Throughout the episode, I discuss the common reasons behind imposter syndrome, such as caring deeply about our work and comparing ourselves to others who seem more experienced. I highlight the importance of recognizing that we often compare our beginning to someone else's middle or end, which can lead to feelings of inadequacy. HIGHLIGHTS 00:00:00 - Introduction to Imposter Syndrome 00:01:00 - Understanding Authority 00:02:00 - The Role of Credentials 00:03:00 - Shifting Identity 00:04:00 - Taking Action 00:05:00 - Creating Safety in Your Identity 00:06:00 - Modeling Excellence 00:07:00 - Letting Go of Old Stories 00:08:00 - Reinforcing Your Authority 00:09:00 - Embracing Your Voice Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Download “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE  Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in March 2025) HERE Learn more about changing the Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program HERE.

Through her coaching practice and platform @themindfriend (168k+ followers), she turns deep psychological insights into practical tools for overcoming self-sabotage, perfectionism, and paralyzing self-doubt.

In this episode, I dive into how big you allow yourself to dream. Where do you see yourself in two to three years? Will you live your dream, or will you still be in the planning, thinking, or avoiding phases? Throughout the episode, I emphasize the role of our subconscious mind in shaping our beliefs and goals. Many people settle for comfortable and familiar aspirations, but I urge you to break free from that mindset. By examining your past achievements and recognizing how far you've come, you can begin to dream beyond what you think is possible. HIGHLIGHTS 00:01:00 - The Importance of Specificity in Dreams 00:02:00 - Challenging Comfort Zones and Subconscious Beliefs 00:03:00 - Reflecting on Progress and Evidence 00:04:00 - Creating Space for Bigger Dreams 00:05:00 - Normalizing Growth and Overcoming Resistance 00:06:00 - Visualizing Your Future Self 00:07:00 - The Power of Emotion in Dreaming Bigger 00:08:00 - Rewiring Your Beliefs for Success 00:09:00 - Embodying the Version of You That Achieves Your Dreams 00:10:00 - Connecting Dreams to Purpose and Impact 00:11:00 - The Role of Strategy and Nervous System Regulation 00:12:00 - Encouragement to Dream Bigger Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Download “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE  Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in March 2025) HERE Learn more about changing the Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program HERE.

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

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

In this episode, I'm sharing the importance of challenging our thoughts and the profound impact they can have on our lives. We are not our thoughts; we are human beings experiencing thoughts. With an astonishing 60,000 to 80,000 thoughts racing through our minds each day—most of which are negative and repetitive—it's crucial to recognize that these thoughts are not facts. They are merely programming we have internalized over the years, often without even realizing it. Throughout the episode, I challenge listeners to confront their inner dialogue. I ask, "Why do we accept our thoughts as truth?" Many of us would never allow others to speak to us how we often speak. I share a personal anecdote about a limiting belief I held for years, which was not even my own, illustrating how easily we can adopt narratives that do not serve us. HIGHLIGHTS 000:00:00 - Introduction and Listener Appreciation 00:00:12 - The Importance of Challenging Your Thoughts 00:00:55 - You Are Not Your Thoughts 00:01:39 - Recognizing Negative Thought Patterns 00:02:31 - Rewiring Your Thoughts 00:03:12 - The Role of Neuro-Linguistic Programming 00:04:38 - Understanding Internal Representations 00:05:31 - The Impact of Internal Narratives on External Results 00:06:56 - Interrupting Negative Thought Loops 00:07:40 - Choosing Empowering Thoughts 00:08:34 - The Power of Agency in Thought Management 00:09:49 - Challenging Limiting Beliefs 00:10:42 - Reprogramming Your Subconscious Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Download “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE  Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in March 2025) HERE Learn more about changing the Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program HERE.

This episode of the podcast was recorded in front of a live studio audience. Marsha is joined by her friend, Renée Walker. Renee has been a past guest on the podcast, and we knew we wanted to share this live episode with you.  Together, Renée and Marsha discuss how true transformation comes not from the highlights but from the uncomfortable, unseen work that nobody posts about online. Marsha shares her own journey of navigating challenges, reprogramming limiting beliefs, and the power of self-leadership. Plus, audience questions bring even more depth to this powerful conversation.

In today's episode, I reflect on recent experiences with clients who have faced toxic coaching situations in the past, emphasizing that coaching should not simply provide answers or only focus on the client's goals, instead can they help clients uncover the underlying barriers that prevent them from reaching their goals. I share my belief that strategy constitutes only 5% of the equation, while subconscious work—addressing limiting beliefs and emotional blocks—makes up the remaining 95%. Throughout the episode, I stress the significance of getting to the root of why individuals feel stuck or engage in self-sabotage. So many clients are unaware of the deeper reasons behind their behaviors, which are often buried in their subconscious. By employing techniques such as FLIP The Script Techniques and asking subconscious questions, we can uncover these hidden beliefs and reframe them to create lasting change. HIGHLIGHTS 00:00:00 - Introduction to Coaching and Self-Leadership 00:01:00 - The Importance of Subconscious Work 00:02:30 - Understanding Goals vs. Blocks 00:04:00 - The Depth of Self-Sabotage 00:05:30 - Identifying Limiting Beliefs 00:07:00 - Fear of Success vs. Fear of Failure 00:08:30 - Transforming Identity Through Coaching 00:10:00 - The Power of Language and Self-Talk 00:11:30 - Emotional Patterns and Client Transformation 00:13:00 - The Role of Identity in Achieving Goals 00:14:30 - Creating Lasting Change Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Download “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE  Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in March 2025) HERE Learn more about changing the Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program HERE.

In this special Friday episode of "Own Your Choices, Own Your Life," I take a moment to reflect on my recent milestone—turning 55 years old. As I celebrate this significant birthday, I want to share the lessons I've learned throughout my journey, particularly the transformative mindset shifts that have shaped my life and business. As I just turned 55, I share how this age feels like a new beginning. I discuss the decades I spent learning to drop my emotional armor, integrate my masculine and feminine energies, and heal old subconscious stories that held me back. This journey has been deeply personal and powerful, leading to significant growth in both my life and business.

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

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

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

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