    1026 | The Stories You Repeat Create Your Identity

    This episode explores the powerful connection between the stories we tell ourselves and the identities we create. Marsha explains how the subconscious mind learns through repetition and emotion, turning repeated thoughts and narratives into deeply held beliefs. She shares how these internal stories shape our confidence, decisions, emotions, and behaviours—often influencing our results more than our conscious goals ever could. Listeners are invited to examine the stories they continue to repeat and consider whether those narratives are supporting the life they want to create or keeping them stuck in old patterns. This episode is a reminder that changing your life begins with changing the story you believe about yourself.

    1025 | The Story You Tell Yourself Is Running Your Business

    In this episode, Marsha explores the powerful role that personal narratives and subconscious beliefs play in shaping both identity and entrepreneurial success. She discusses how the stories individuals tell themselves influence their confidence, decision-making, visibility, and, ultimately, the results they achieve in their businesses and lives. Through the lens of a transformational client story, Marsha shares how a dramatic shift in self-perception and belief can completely change what someone believes is possible for themselves. She highlights how many entrepreneurs unknowingly operate from limiting internal stories that keep them playing small, questioning their value, or resisting expansion, even when they deeply desire more success and impact. Marsha encourages listeners to become aware of the subconscious narratives running beneath their actions and to examine whether those stories align with the future they are trying to create. She emphasizes that sustainable growth begins internally, through identity shifts, emotional regulation, and expanding the vision of what is truly possible. Ultimately, this episode serves as a reminder that transformation begins the moment individuals stop repeating old stories and begin embodying the identity of the person capable of holding the success they desire.

    1024 | Choosing Who I Want to Be in the Face of Uncertainty with Carly Carey

    In this episode, Marsha speaks with Carly Carey. Carly is a real estate Team Leader and speaker based on Vancouver Island, known for her ability to build meaningful relationships and create experiences rooted in care and connection. After being diagnosed with a rare and aggressive cancer while travelling in Japan on her birthday, Carly’s life took an unexpected turn. What followed was a period of uncertainty, delayed treatment, and deep reflection that reshaped how she chose to live. Out of that experience, Carly co-created Carly’s House with her husband, a home they are renovating to offer comfort and support to cancer patients receiving treatment in their community. What began as a personal challenge has become a way to give back and create something meaningful for others walking a similar path. Through her work and her story, Carly speaks to the power of choice in the face of the unknown and what it means to build a life that is not only successful but deeply aligned and impactful.

    1023 | You Cannot Outdo Who You Are Being

    In this episode, Marsha explores the powerful connection between identity and personal transformation, emphasizing the truth that you cannot outperform the identity you currently hold about yourself. She dives into the gap that often exists between who people say they want to become and the version of themselves their subconscious mind still believes they are. Marsha unpacks how many individuals pursue new levels of success, visibility, leadership, or growth while unconsciously holding onto outdated beliefs, stories, and self-perceptions that no longer align with their future vision. She explains how this internal conflict can create resistance, self-sabotage, and emotional exhaustion, even when the right strategies and actions are in place. Throughout the episode, Marsha highlights the importance of identity work, emotional regulation, support, and repetition in creating lasting change. She encourages listeners to reflect on the stories they continue to rehearse internally and on whether their current identity truly matches the future they desire to create.

    1021 | Self-Trust is How We Build from Within with Kristie Crate

    Kristie Crate lives where the trees outnumber the houses, and the wind through the pines is a steady reminder to slow down. She walks the space between who she has been and who she is becoming, alchemizing lived experience into wisdom. Her days are layered, not divided. Mother. Wife. Nurse. Co-owner of a construction company. Photographer. Coach. Each role an instrument she picks up with intention. At the core of it all is one belief: self-trust changes everything. When a woman remembers who she is beneath the conditioning and noise, she becomes grounded and powerful. Kristie believes healing and building are the same sacred practice, and the result is legacy. To experience Kristie is to feel both roots and expansion, evolving on purpose, not away from her life, but deeper into it.

    1020 | The 95%: Why Your Subconscious Mind Runs Your Life

    In this episode, Marsha dives into one of the most important conversations in personal growth, leadership, and transformation: the difference between what your conscious mind wants… and what your subconscious mind believes is safe. She explains how the conscious mind is responsible for setting goals, creating visions, and deciding what you desire for your life — but the subconscious mind is the part actually running the patterns, habits, emotional reactions, and behaviours that determine whether you move toward those goals or away from them. Marsha breaks down how so many people unknowingly sabotage the very things they say they want, not because they lack motivation or strategy, but because their subconscious programming is still rooted in fear, limitation, predictability, and protection. This episode is a powerful reminder that transformation is not simply about setting bigger goals — it’s about becoming the version of yourself who feels safe enough to receive them. If you’ve ever wondered why you continue repeating the same patterns despite how much you consciously want change, this conversation will help you understand why.

    1019 | Unlocking Subconscious Patterns: The Key to Change

    In this episode, Marsha dives into the profound impact that subconscious patterns have on our personal growth, business decisions, and client behaviours. She explores why so many people remain stuck in repetitive cycles—not because they lack strategy, intelligence, or information, but because the subconscious mind is designed to prioritize what feels familiar, predictable, and safe. Through real-life insights and years of experience in subconscious reprogramming and NLP, Marsha unpacks how deeply rooted beliefs and identity patterns can quietly sabotage visibility, growth, success, and transformation. She emphasizes that lasting change does not come from consuming more information alone, but from rewiring the internal programming that determines what we believe is possible for us. This episode invites listeners to reflect on the identities they are reinforcing daily and whether those patterns are truly aligned with the life, business, and impact they desire to create. It is a powerful conversation about awareness, personal responsibility, and the subconscious mechanisms shaping every choice we make.
