    907 | When Your Confidence Makes Others Shrink

    In this episode, I share thoughts on how our confidence can sometimes trigger the insecurities of those around us, leading them to shrink back instead of celebrating our growth. This dynamic is rooted in our individual beliefs and past experiences, which shape how we perceive the world. If our confidence makes someone else shrink, they were never truly cheering for us in the first place. Bless and release and thank them for the role they have played in your life.

    906 | Reprogramming Your Mind: How to Write Your Book with Ease

    In this episode, I speak into the often-overlooked connection between subconscious writing blocks and the process of writing a book. I open up about my own vulnerabilities and the misconceptions that many aspiring writers face when they struggle to put pen to paper. I start by addressing a common sentiment among writers: the confusion about how subconscious rewiring relates to the writing process. Many people have invested in strategy programs, only to find themselves stuck and questioning their abilities.  I explain that our subconscious mind is a powerful force, controlling 95% of our actions and beliefs. It stores all our past experiences, decisions, and identities, which can create hidden blocks that prevent us from pursuing our writing goals. I emphasize that writer's block is not just about the act of writing; it’s about feeling safe to express oneself. HIGHLIGHTS 00:00:00 - Introduction to Subconscious Writing Blocks 00:01:00 - The Impact of Strategy Programs 00:02:30 - Understanding Subconscious Influence 00:03:50 - Identifying Hidden Blocks 00:05:00 - Case Study: Overcoming Limiting Beliefs 00:06:30 - The Importance of Safety in Writing 00:08:00 - Reframing Negative Thoughts 00:09:30 - The Role of Subconscious Reprogramming 00:10:30 - Success Stories: From Fear to Action 00:12:00 - Invitation to Join the 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, we are speaking with Entrepreneur, Investor, Author, and Public Speaker, Jeremy Delk.  Jeremy’s story is all about taking ownership of his failures, his wild successes, and every lesson in between.

    904 | Can You Allow Others to Hold Your Vision With You?

    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. HIGHLIGHTS 00:00:00 - Embracing Big Visions 00:01:05 - The Bigger Picture 00:02:30 - The Role of Support 00:04:27 - Navigating Fear and Excitement 00:06:44 - Identifying Resistance 00:08:09 - The Power of New Perspectives 00:10:57 - Building Proof of Concept 00:12:43 - Reframing Your Narrative 00:14:41 - Receiving Support 00:16:48 - The Journey of Unbothered 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.

    903 | A Quick Way to Shift Your Thinking to See What is Possible

    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.

    901 | At Any Stage, At Any Age, You Always Have a Choice

    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. HIGHLIGHTS 00:00:00 - Introduction and Reflection on Episode 900 00:01:00 - The Power of Choice at Any Age 00:02:30 - Navigating Life's Challenges 00:04:00 - The Importance of Self-Reflection 00:05:30 - Managing Stress and High-Reactivity States 00:07:00 - Reframing Your Perspective 00:08:30 - Choosing to Honour Yourself 00:10:00 - Owning Your Choices 00:11:30 - Living Full Out and Embracing Change 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 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.
