    1049 | We've Built the Business. Now Can We Enjoy the Life?

    In this episode, Marsha explores The Great Pivot — the shift happening for women who have proven they can build the business, achieve the goals, and carry a lot, and are now asking: How do I actually want my life to feel? She unpacks the difference between capability and capacity. Being capable of doing more doesn’t mean you have to keep holding more. The next level of success may be about creating the capacity to enjoy what you’ve built, receive support, and make space for the life you want alongside the business. This episode is an invitation to redefine success and become the woman who can hold the ambition, impact, relationships, rest, and joy she desires.

    1048 | The Road Back to the Platform with Brad Vanwynsberghe

    In this episode, Marsha sits down with her husband, Brad, to talk about his journey from competitive CrossFit into Olympic weightlifting and the road that ultimately led him back to competing on the world stage. Brad shares how his love of lifting heavy drew him into the sport, the tricep rupture at the provincials in 2025 that threatened his ability to compete again, and what it took physically and mentally to work his way back. This conversation goes beyond the numbers on the bar. It’s about resilience, patience, belief, and continuing to pursue something that matters to you, even when the path looks very different than you expected.

    1047 | Why I Didn't Create OUTSPOKEN to Teach NLP

    In this episode, Marsha explores the power of communication and why people don't invest in your methods—they invest in the transformation you help create. Drawing from the principles of NLP, she shares why it's essential to speak less about how you do your work and more about who your clients become because of it. She also challenges listeners to reflect on the stories they tell themselves because the way you see yourself will always influence how you lead, communicate, and create impact. This episode is a reminder that your message isn't about proving your expertise—it's about helping people see what's possible for themselves.

    1046 | Luck or Preparation? The Key to Success

    In this episode, Marsha challenges the story that success comes down to luck — and how believing other people are simply “luckier” can quietly limit what we believe is possible for ourselves. She reflects on the times she has looked at someone else’s success without seeing the years of work, choices, belief, and persistence happening behind the scenes. This episode is an invitation to examine the stories you tell yourself about why other people have what you want. Because when you stop making opportunity something that happens to other people, you can start seeing what might already be available to you.

    1045 | Always Walking the Route of Healing with Robina Abramson-Walling

    In this episode, Marsha speaks with Robina Abramson-Walling. Robina is the founder of Route of Healing and a Doctoral candidate in Natural Medicine with a focus on nervous system regulation and hormonal health. She specializes in working with high-achieving women navigating perimenopause, burnout, and the rebuilding that comes after. Her own healing journey began when she was struggling with depression, fibromyalgia, and suicidal thoughts. While remaining under the care of her primary physician, she pursued alternative healing methods, including frequency medicine and sound therapy. During that process, she uncovered and worked through her abandonment wound using the modalities she now practices with her clients. Through her signature B.E.A.M. Method, Robina teaches the body to rebuild its own regulatory capacity rather than supplementing what's missing. She combines traditional Chinese medicine, energy medicine, and German New Medicine to help women understand that perimenopause is an invitation to process the suppressed emotions and stress stored in their bodies. Her tagline says it all: Rebuild what burnout took. Robina hosts The Woman Behind the Win podcast, where she explores the nervous system stories of high-achieving women. Chapters: [00:38] - Robina's Healing Journey and Transformation [14:46] - Perimenopause and Its Impact on Women's Health [23:49] - The Burden of Expectations: Recognizing Women's Challenges [36:21] - The Importance of Listening to Your Body [44:30] - Navigating Trauma and Healing Connect with Robina Abramson-Walling: Website: https://www.routeofhealing.com Email: robina@routeofhealing.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/routeofhealing/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewomanbehindthewin/ Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster LOCKED IN: https://www.heart-wiredceo.com/locked-in OUTSPOKEN August Cohort: https://www.marshavanw.com/nlp UNBOTHERED Mastermind: https://www.marshavanw.com/offers/w8WVE3Pa Write Your Damn Book Program: https://www.marshavanw.com/writenow OUTSPOKEN Publishing: https://www.outspokenpublishing.com Tickets for Heart-Wired CEO Live https://www.heart-wiredceo.com/live Download FREE “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Tap the “Follow” button never to 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.

    1044 | Are You At Your Capacity?

    In this episode, Marsha explores what it really means to be "at capacity" — and why the feeling of being overwhelmed often has less to do with how much you're carrying and more to do with the subconscious stories you're believing. She challenges the idea that doing more is the answer, inviting listeners to examine the language they use about themselves, their time, and their ability to hold success. This episode is a reminder that expanding your capacity isn't about pushing harder. It's about raising the internal ceiling that determines what feels safe to receive. Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is rest, regulate, and create space for what's next. Chapters: [00:20] - The Quiz - Capacity and Overwhelm [09:02] - A Personal Journey [11:19] - Finding Your Capacity: The Power of Rest and Rewiring [15:49] - Building Capacity and Support Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Beyond At Capacity Masterclass: https://www.marshavanw.com/beyondcapacity OUTSPOKEN QUIZ: https://nlp.marshavanw.com/ LOCKED IN: https://www.heart-wiredceo.com/locked-in OUTSPOKEN August Cohort: https://www.marshavanw.com/nlp UNBOTHERED Mastermind: https://www.marshavanw.com/offers/w8WVE3Pa Write Your Damn Book Program: https://www.marshavanw.com/writenow OUTSPOKEN Publishing: https://www.outspokenpublishing.com Tickets for Heart-Wired CEO Live https://www.heart-wiredceo.com/live Unbothered Mind Private Podcast https://www.marshavanw.com/unbotheredmindpodcast Unbothered Entrepreneur Masterclass (for the Podcast Listeners): https://www.marshavanw.com/unbothered-entrepreneur-masterclass-podcast Download “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in January 2026, in person or virtual) HERE The Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program August Promo Save $333 HERE.

    1043 | How Your Inner Dialogue Shapes Your Reality

    In this episode, Marsha explores the stories we repeatedly tell ourselves and how those words can quietly become part of our identity. She shares a personal realization around a story she had carried for years — that everything had to be a struggle. What started as something she could joke about had actually become a subconscious pattern she continued to reinforce. Through the lens of Human Design, Marsha began to reframe struggle not as evidence that life has to be hard, but as a reflection of her tenacity and resilience. This episode is an invitation to notice the labels, jokes, and stories you repeat about yourself. Because when you change the meaning of the story, you create space to change the identity attached to it. Chapters: [03:03] - Understanding Human Design and Personal Growth [04:35] - Understanding the Channel of Struggle [08:35] - Reframing Struggle as Tenacity [10:20] - Understanding Labels and Identity [14:24] - Transforming Your Thoughts Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster OUTSPOKEN QUIZ: https://nlp.marshavanw.com/ LOCKED IN: https://www.heart-wiredceo.com/locked-in OUTSPOKEN August Cohort: https://www.marshavanw.com/nlp UNBOTHERED Mastermind: https://www.marshavanw.com/offers/w8WVE3Pa Write Your Damn Book Program: https://www.marshavanw.com/writenow OUTSPOKEN Publishing: https://www.outspokenpublishing.com Tickets for Heart-Wired CEO Live https://www.heart-wiredceo.com/live Unbothered Mind Private Podcast https://www.marshavanw.com/unbotheredmindpodcast Unbothered Entrepreneur Masterclass (for the Podcast Listeners): https://www.marshavanw.com/unbothered-entrepreneur-masterclass-podcast Download “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in January 2026, in person or virtual) HERE The Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program August Promo Save $333 HERE.
