When Your Body Tells You It’s Time for a Change

What happens when doing more, trying harder, and pushing through stops working? In this episode of the Action Takers Author Podcast, Sally Green sits down with Marlies Hazelaar, co-author of the #1 international bestselling book Inspired Metamorphosis and author of the chapter “The Weight of Becoming: How My Body Led Me Back to Myself.” After 30 years in corporate environments, Marlies knew what it meant to perform at a high level. But years of travel, stress, packed schedules, and putting herself last began taking a toll. She tried working harder to fix it, even squeezing workouts into already exhausting days, until she realized that doing more wasn’t the answer. That realization became the beginning of her own metamorphosis. Marlies shares how changing the way she approached nutrition and her overall well-being helped her reconnect with herself, eventually inspiring her to study nutrition, leave her corporate career, and build a business helping other high-performing professionals care for their health and energy. Sally and Marlies also talk about what it means to listen to your body, why transformation isn’t always about trying harder, and how sharing your personal story can open doors you never expected. And Marlies wasn’t someone who always dreamed of becoming an author. When the opportunity to contribute to Inspired Metamorphosis appeared at exactly the right time, she simply gave it a “full body yes.” In this conversation:• Recognizing when pushing harder isn’t working• Reconnecting with yourself after years of putting everything else first• The connection between nutrition, energy, and overall well-being• Marlies’ journey from corporate executive to entrepreneur• Why she said yes to sharing her story• How becoming an author can create connection, credibility, and new possibilities 📖 Inspired Metamorphosis brings together stories of transformation from authors around the world.

Finding Me: Beyond the Roles We Carry

Women can spend years being who everyone else needs them to be. A daughter. A wife. A mother. A friend. Those roles matter, but somewhere along the way, we can lose sight of the woman underneath them. In this episode of Action Takers Author, I’m talking with Dima Ghazi, one of the co-authors of Inspired Metamorphosis, launching September 29. In her chapter, “Finding Me,” Dima shares what it took to move beyond the cultural expectations and familiar patterns that kept her feeling stuck. We talk about the courage it takes to listen to that quiet voice telling you there is more, why wanting more doesn’t mean loving your family any less, and how finding yourself can help you show up more fully for the people you love. If you’ve ever wondered who you are outside of all the roles you carry, this conversation is for you.Learn more about the book at: ActionTakersPublishing.com/inspired Connect with Dima at: Email: demagazi@gmail.comConnect with Sally: http://findsally.com Get full access to ☕️ Refill My Cup at refillmycup.substack.com/subscribe
