Own Your Choices Own Your Life

In this episode, I am sharing the process of embracing big visions and the fears that often accompany them. I start by sharing a personal anecdote from 2016 when I first received the idea to write my solo book. The initial excitement was quickly overshadowed by fear and skepticism from those around me, which led me to caution against sharing my ideas too freely. I reflect on my experience with launching my NLP coaching certification, Outspoken, where I had to build everything from scratch without any proof of concept. A mentor pointed out the difference between that experience and my current vision for Unbothered, emphasizing that now I have a supportive community that sees the potential in my vision even before I do. This support is crucial as it helps me navigate the fear and excitement that come with pursuing something new.

In this episode, I address a common question: how do we shift our thinking? I emphasize that while the concept may be simple, the execution is often challenging. I share my personal experience of being in a crisis and how it forced me to reevaluate my choices and control over my life. I encourage listeners to consider how they want to show up in their lives, especially as we approach the end of the year. I discuss the importance of setting realistic goals and focusing on what we want rather than what we don't want. Many people struggle to articulate their desires, often fixating on their frustrations instead. I challenge listeners to shift their language and mindset, speaking about their aspirations as if they have already been achieved.

In this episode, I want to reflect on the core message that has been a guiding principle throughout my life and this podcast: you always have a choice. No matter your age or stage in life, you possess the power to make choices that shape your reality. I understand that it can often feel like circumstances are beyond our control, but I assure you that we can always choose how we respond to those circumstances. At 55 years old and navigating the complexities of the sandwich generation, caring for aging parents while managing a business that feels ever-evolving, I find myself constantly reminded of the importance of choice. You do not need to have everything figured out or be completely healed to start making changes in your life. We are all in a continuous process of becoming, and every small step counts.

In this special episode of the "Own Your Choices, Own Your Life" podcast, we celebrate a monumental milestone: episode 900!  This is a special episode where Marsha is being interviewed by Sue Ruhe, her podcast manager, ninja extraordinaire and close friend.  Marsha shares her thoughts on the significance of reaching 900 episodes, emphasizing the importance of personal growth and the unique space the podcast has provided her to navigate both business and personal challenges. We discuss the power of vulnerability in her solo episodes, where she imparts valuable lessons from her own experiences, even when she doesn't share every detail of her life. We also touch on the theme of reinvention, pivots, and permission, exploring the beliefs Marsha had to let go of to become the person she is today. She emphasizes the importance of speaking life into what we want, rather than focusing on what we don't want, and provides practical advice for listeners seeking to shift their mindset. Marsha gives a sneak peek into her upcoming solo book, which aims to provide a framework for others to shift their mindset and overcome obstacles.

In this episode, we are on the brink of a significant milestone—episode 900! As I prepare to share more of my journey in the upcoming episode, I want to dive deep into a topic that I believe is crucial for anyone looking to make an impact, whether through writing, coaching, speaking, or any other form of expression. Today, I discuss the importance of sharing your story and how it connects to building genuine relationships with others. Many people underestimate the power of their narrative, thinking that strategy alone will lead to success. Strategy is only 5% of the equation; the remaining 95% lies in our subconscious mind and our ability to embody our true selves. HIGHLIGHTS 00:01:00 - The Importance of Sharing Your Story 00:02:00 - Strategy vs. Subconscious Mind 00:03:00 - The Challenge of Sharing Completed Work 00:04:00 - Embodiment Over Strategy 00:05:00 - The Role of Vulnerability in Storytelling 00:06:00 - Navigating Subconscious Patterns 00:07:00 - The Process of Becoming 00:08:00 - The Importance of a Regulated Nervous System 00:09:00 - Shifting Identity Through Language 00:10:00 - Normalizing Your Future Dreams 00:11:00 - Creating Safety to Be Seen 00:12:00 - Invitation to Write Your Damn Book Program Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Meet me at the Heart-Wired CEO LIVE Event on November 7th & 8th.

In this episode, I discuss the everyday struggles many authors face, such as fear of judgment from family and friends, and the realization that we cannot control how others perceive our words. Our internal representation of the world shapes our responses, and I share personal anecdotes to illustrate how our states can influence our reactions to others. Instead of focusing on the strategy first, it is essential to get into the right state of mind, energy, and nervous system regulation before writing. Our subconscious mind, which governs 95% of our actions, responds to feelings of safety rather than willpower. This means that before we can write authentically, we must ensure our nervous system is regulated and grounded, and we are clear about the intention as to why we are being called to write and share our story. HIGHLIGHTS 00:00:00 - Introduction to Writing Your Book 00:01:00 - The Importance of State in Writing 00:02:00 - Navigating Vulnerability in Storytelling 00:03:00 - The Role of the Subconscious Mind in Writing 00:04:00 - Releasing Layers Before Writing 00:05:00 - In It vs. On It: Writing Perspectives 00:06:00 - Creating an Optimal Writing State 00:07:00 - Overcoming Fear and Self-Doubt 00:08:00 - Techniques for Anchoring into Safety 00:09:00 - Embracing Your Calling to Write 00:10:00 - The Power of Groundedness in Writing 00:11:00 - The Write Your Damn Book Digital Program 00:12:00 - The Impact of Sharing Your Story Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Meet me at the Heart-Wired CEO LIVE Event on November 7th & 8th.

In this episode of the podcast, we are sharing a recording from Marsha's interview on the Ambitious, Awakened & Aligned Podcast. Marsha is interviewed as a guest and wanted to share this incredible interview with her listeners.  In this episode, we explore the inner revolution that happens when we stop operating from sheer ambition and start aligning with our subconscious power. Marsha shares what it means to burn the old stories to the ground, step out of proving energy, and own your boldest truths — even when they terrify you. Together, we explore how nervous system regulation, NLP tools, and radical self-responsibility create the foundation for unstoppable growth. This conversation is for every high-achieving soul who's felt the burnout, the doubt, and the disconnect… and is ready to become the most unapologetic version of themselves. You'll walk away with powerful mindset shifts, somatic awareness, and tools to start reclaiming your energy, identity, and voice — today.

In this episode, I explore the concept of being unbothered vs feeling numb. Being unbothered involves feeling emotions without being controlled by them. I recount my journey over the past couple of years, particularly the challenges I've faced, including navigating past stories of teen substance abuse and personal turmoil. Through these experiences, I have learned to strengthen my boundaries and prioritize self-care, allowing me to listen to my needs rather than numb them. I pose the question: Are you numb or unbothered? I explain the characteristics of both states, highlighting that numbness is a disconnection from our emotions, while being unbothered is about being present and regulated. I share actionable tools for listeners to connect with their emotions, encouraging them to recognize and process feelings without judgment.

In this episode, we are sharing the theme of fire,  as a metaphor for personal transformation and as a reflection of my own experiences. This quote summarizes it all: “The fire burned brighter inside of me than around me," by Joshua Graham. What would change if you could learn to embrace the fire as a transformative force rather than a destructive one? I encourage everyone to reflect on what they are carrying that is no longer theirs to bear and to allow the fire to burn away those burdens. By doing so, we can ignite our inner fire, leading to a stronger, more authentic self.

In this episode, I share the intricate relationship between writing, emotions, and the body. As I embark on the journey of writing my second solo book, I feel compelled to share insights that have emerged from my experiences and the experiences of the authors I support.  This past month, I have been sharing a virtual masterclass on how our emotions influence our writing process and how we can navigate these feelings to create more authentic and powerful narratives.

In this episode, I share the relationship between our emotions and the subconscious mind, exploring how our bodies hold onto unprocessed feelings and the stories we tell ourselves. We can learn to unpack these concepts, especially as we prepare to share insights on how to release stuck emotions such as anger, sadness, fear, shame, guilt, and more. Our bodies hold the visceral reactions that they have in response to specific triggers, highlighting the connection between our nervous system and subconscious mind. While our conscious mind may forget specific experiences, our bodies retain the memory of these emotions, often leading to physical manifestations like tension or pain. I share the different areas of the body and what emotions we hold onto.  HIGHLIGHTS 00:00:01 - Introduction to Emotions and the Subconscious Mind 00:00:45 - Understanding Stuck Emotions 00:01:16 - The Mind-Body Connection 00:02:51 - Feeling vs. Feeding Emotions 00:03:55 - The Impact of Emotions on Physiology 00:05:19 - Subconscious Anchoring and Emotional Triggers 00:07:05 - Curiosity About Emotional Responses 00:08:07 - Energy in Motion: The Importance of Expression 00:09:01 - Body Parts and Their Emotional Associations 00:10:06 - Shoulder Tension: Burdens and Responsibilities 00:10:27 - Neck Tension: Fear and Self-Expression 00:11:21 - Middle Back: Insecurity and Powerlessness 00:12:35 - Lower Back: Guilt, Shame, and Unworthiness 00:13:43 - Stomach: Inability to Process Emotions 00:15:37 - Releasing Unprocessed Emotions 00:16:58 - Awareness and Emotional Release Techniques 00:18:05 - Soul Leads, Body Calibrates, Mind Follows 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 The Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program August Promo Save $333 HERE.  Tap the “Follow” button to never 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, I share the complex world of emotions, especially during these heightened times we find ourselves in. I share my personal experiences and insights on how to navigate intense feelings while maintaining a positive trajectory in both life and business. I begin by discussing the importance of subconscious reprogramming and nervous system regulation, which have been crucial tools for me in managing my emotions. A recent conversation with a client sparked my interest in the concept of "depersonalizing emotions." I explain how learning to shift to a neutral state can save us time, energy, and resources, allowing us to rewrite our stories more effectively.

In this episode, I am sharing the idea that the work we often resist is, in fact, the very work we are meant to embrace. I reflect on my own journey of resisting self-care, slowing down, and tuning into my own needs, which I now recognize as essential to my personal and professional growth. For years, I believed that hard work and relentless hustle were the keys to success, but I have come to understand that true fulfillment lies in balancing ambition with self-care.

Today, I speak with Published Author, Dr. Salvatore Forcina. Dr. Forcina is a retired general, vascular, and trauma surgeon who served as the Chief of Surgery at two North Jersey hospitals for years and treated thousands of patients. He is also the author of The American Doctor. This inspiring memoir chronicles his extraordinary journey from humble beginnings in war-torn Italy to becoming a highly respected physician in the United States. Born in 1941 amidst the chaos of World War II, poverty and hardship marked Dr. Forcina's early years. Throughout the war, his family lived in the mountains with other villagers. After it ended, they moved to Argentina when he was eight, in search of a better life. However, the move presented new challenges, including language and cultural differences. To ensure his education, Dr. Forcina's parents sent him to live with priests, where he faced a strict and isolating environment. Despite these difficulties, he excelled in his studies and went on to become a medical doctor. At the age of 28, with only $40 in his pocket and no command of the English language, Dr. Forcina immigrated to America; however, his medical degree was not recognized in the United States. Determined to practice medicine in the U.S., he worked as a hospital tech for three years, drawing blood for a meagre $16 a day while taking foreign equivalency exams to be allowed to begin medical residency. It wasn't until eight years after he arrived in this country, at the age of 36, that he was finally able to begin practicing as a young, unrecognized physician.

In this episode, I encourage listeners to embrace their fears and recognize that waiting for the perfect moment to share their stories will only lead to inaction. Writing a book is not just about recounting events; it's about reclaiming one's voice and sharing the lessons learned through personal experiences. I discuss how vulnerability can be a superpower, making our stories relatable and real, especially during challenging times. To support this process, I introduce various tools and techniques, including NLP strategies, that can help writers anchor themselves in a safe internal state before writing. I emphasize the importance of focusing on the intention behind the writing and who it is meant to help, rather than getting bogged down by fears of judgment or criticism. As I share my own journey of writing my first book, "When She Stopped Asking Why," I reflect on how the act of writing helped me heal and reclaim my power. I encourage listeners to visualize their future selves holding their completed books, reminding them that the process of writing is a journey of self-discovery and growth. This is the work we will be diving into in the Write Your Damn Book Digital Program, presales coming in August.

In this episode, I'm excited to dive into the fascinating topic of the nervous system and its role as our internal GPS. I want to explore how our nervous system influences our ability to pursue our goals, particularly in the context of writing a book. As my publishing house expands and I embark on my next solo project, I reflect on the importance of feeling safe in our pursuits. If our nervous system perceives those goals as unsafe, we will struggle to move forward. Our conscious mind can set a direction, but it is our nervous system and subconscious mind that ultimately determine whether we feel safe pursuing that direction. I highlight the staggering fact that our conscious mind processes only a tiny fraction of the information available to us, which can be overwhelming yet empowering. This means that there is so much more potential within us that we may not even be aware of.

In this episode, I share the transformative journey of writing a book, drawing from my own experiences and insights gained over the years. I begin by reflecting on my first solo book, "When She Stopped Asking Why," published in 2017, and how my path to becoming a published author was paved with collaborative writing experiences. I emphasize the often-overlooked value of collaborative books, highlighting how they can serve as a stepping stone for aspiring authors to share their stories and build their identities as writers. I discuss the profound impact of identity work and the role of neurolinguistic programming (NLP) in the writing process. I explain how writing can be a healing experience, enabling individuals to transform their narratives from one of victimhood to one of heroism. I also want to share the opportunity to join us in the Write Your Damn Book Digital Program, which is now available for presale to our email and podcast community first.

In this episode, I explore the concept that our ability to receive—whether it be love, money, success, or visibility—is intricately tied to the beliefs we hold about ourselves. I emphasize that beliefs are essentially thoughts we repeat, often subconsciously, which create a filter through which we perceive the world. This filter can either open us up to abundance or limit us based on our self-worth and perceived safety. Throughout the episode, I illustrate how limiting beliefs can act as a "kink in the hose," blocking our ability to receive. I share a powerful example of a client who experienced a contraction every time she received payment, highlighting how guilt and self-doubt can hinder our growth. I stress that no amount of hard work or hustle can compensate for a lack of belief in our worthiness to receive.  I also touch on the importance of our nervous system in this process. If we don't feel safe receiving, we may find ourselves pushing harder and burning out, all while blocking the very abundance we seek. There are many ways to change these beliefs so you can receive all that is available to you. HIGHLIGHTS 00:00:00 - Introduction to Beliefs 00:01:00 - The Connection Between Beliefs and Receiving 00:02:30 - Identifying Kinks in the Hose 00:04:00 - The Impact of Old Beliefs 00:05:30 - The Role of the Nervous System 00:07:00 - Personal Experience with Income and Values 00:08:30 - Rewiring Your Beliefs 00:10:00 - The Importance of Receiving 00:11:30 - Teaching Your Nervous System 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.

They explore the ways people often give away their power by seeking external validation and provide practical tips on how to reclaim it. The conversation highlights the impact of limiting beliefs, the importance of taking action despite fear, and the role of self-love in personal growth.

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. HIGHLIGHTS 00:00:01 - Introduction to NLP and Goal Reflection 00:01:26 - Life's Unexpected Turns 00:02:49 - Shifting Perspectives on Goals 00:04:58 - Identifying Gaps in Thoughts and Vision 00:06:55 - Understanding Subconscious Patterns 00:08:41 - Cleaning Up Energy Leaks 00:09:52 - Conducting an Audit of Thoughts 00:10:39 - Reinforcing Identity and Self-Talk 00:11:54 - Rewiring Beliefs and Anchoring New Identity 00:13:29 - Future Pacing and Training the Subconscious 00:14:54 - Reframing Old Thoughts 00:15:54 - Aligning Inner and Outer Worlds 00:17:41 - The Work of NLP and Personal Leadership 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 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. HIGHLIGHTS 00:00:00 - The Struggle of Indecision 00:02:30 - Understanding the Root of Indecision 00:05:00 - Future Pacing Technique 00:08:00 - Rehearsing Future Outcomes 00:10:30 - Living Without Regrets 00:12:00 - Training Your Decision-Making 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 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.

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.

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.

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.
