I'm Marj Kupps, and this podcast explores womanhood, growth, ambition, wellness, and the uncomfortable process of becoming who you're meant to be. Each week, we dive into conversations that go beyond a 60-second reel —from friendships, family, and relationships to success, identity, money, purpose, and the pressure to have it all figured out. Think of this as a cup of tea with a friend and an invitation to question what you've been taught, what you've outgrown, and who you're becoming. Growth isn't always comfortable, and the most important conversations often aren't either.

    What You Didn’t Know About Me | Q&A

    This week’s episode is a little different. Instead of diving into a specific topic, I’m letting you get to know me a little better. I asked my husband to come up with a list of questions, and I answered them without knowing what was coming. It feels less like an interview and more like sitting down for coffee with a friend. If you’ve been listening for a while and have wondered who I am outside of the advice, wellness conversations, and self-development, this episode is for you. I hope you enjoy getting to know me a little better. 🤍

    We’ve Forgotten How Long Things Take | Trusting the Process When Success Feels Slow

    What happens when you’ve done everything “right” but success is taking longer than you expected? In this episode of Uncomfortable on Purpose, I’m talking about something I’ve been wrestling with lately: delayed gratification, patience, and learning to trust the process when the results aren’t arriving on your timeline. We live in a world of instant everything—instant communication, instant entertainment, instant answers—so it’s no surprise that many of us expect our biggest goals to happen just as quickly. But what if meaningful things simply take time? I share personal stories from my own journey as a content creator and entrepreneur, including a viral TikTok experience that taught me a powerful lesson about getting what you want before you’re ready for it. We also explore why comparison distorts our perception of success, why progress is rarely linear, and how to keep going when the evidence that you’re moving forward comes and goes. If you’ve ever felt behind in life, frustrated by slow progress, or wondered whether your hard work is paying off, this conversation is for you. In this episode:• Why success often takes longer than we expect• The hidden purpose of the process• What happens when opportunity arrives before you’re ready• How comparison can distort your timeline• Why progress isn’t always visible in the moment• Learning to trust the journey, even when it feels slow Remember: the process isn’t just building the dream—it may be building the dreamer, too. #SuccessMindset #PersonalGrowth #DelayedGratification #TrustTheProcess #Motivation #SelfDevelopment #Entrepreneurship #ContentCreator #Patience #Perseverance

    The Problem With “I’ll Be Happy When…”

    In this episode, we explore a question that many ambitious people quietly wrestle with: Will anything ever feel like enough? From career goals and financial milestones to relationships, content creation, and personal growth, it’s easy to believe that happiness is waiting on the other side of the next achievement. But what happens when you finally get the thing you’ve been working towards and discover that the feeling doesn’t last as long as you expected? Joined by my husband, we unpack the experience of constantly moving the finish line, the unexpected emptiness that can follow success, and the tension between wanting more and appreciating what already exists. We talk about ambition, achievement, fulfillment, gratitude, and what it means to enjoy the journey while still pursuing bigger dreams. If you’ve ever found yourself thinking, “I’ll be happy when…” this conversation is for you.

    Why We Love To See People Fall

    In this episode, we’re unpacking the internet’s fascination with public mistakes, online backlash, and why it often feels easier to criticize than to extend grace. From cancel culture and call-out videos to creator burnout and the rise of curated content, we explore how social media has changed the way we share, connect, and show up online. I also reflect on my own relationship with the internet, how my boundaries have evolved over time, and why so many creators are choosing to share less than they once did. This is a conversation about judgment, empathy, human nature, and the hidden cost of living your life in public. So pour yourself a cup of tea and join me for an honest conversation about why the internet feels different now, and what that might reveal about all of us.

    Submission: Cultural, Biblical… or Misused?

    Submission. A word that makes some women uncomfortable… and some men very comfortable. In this episode, I unpack a cultural practice that sparked a deeper question in me: How much of what we call “submission” is really about God, and how much of it is just culture, tradition, or even control? We’re getting into: - The uncomfortable tension between cultural expectations and personal conviction - How submission has been misused—and why that matters - What the Bible actually says - Why submission might look very different from what you’ve been told This is an honest, thought-provoking conversation—not a rulebook.

    ASK ME ANYTHING, DECK OF CARDS EDITION

    In this Ask Me Anything: Deck of Cards Edition, I used random cards as prompts and let the conversation go wherever it wanted. From marriage and PDA to career changes, career pressure, and the fear of disappointing your parents. It’s honest, a little all over the place, and very real. No script, no plan — just me answering whatever comes up. If you’ve ever felt stuck, unmotivated, or unsure about where you’re going… this one will feel like a chat with a friend who’s figuring it out too.

    Girlhood After Marriage: Is Your Husband Your Only Friend?

    In this episode I unpack the subtle “promotion” of romantic relationships over all others. Why do we celebrate love… but quietly downgrade friendship?” I was told growing up that my husband should be my best friend… my only friend. And for a while, I believed that. But I don’t think that advice works for everyone, and I want to talk about why. And if you’ve ever felt left behind by a married friend… this conversation is for you too.

    Why do we really have children?In this episode, I unpack the advice many of us grew up hearing; that you should have kids so you won’t be lonely, or that having children will strengthen your marriage.But are those reasons rooted in love… or fear?I reflect on a recent conversation with my parents, question traditional beliefs about motherhood, and explore a perspective that stopped me in my tracks:If a child could choose their parents… would they choose you right now?This is an uncomfortable, honest conversation about timing, intention, and the kind of life we’re building before bringing someone else into it.

    I Grew Up With Chaperoned Dating

    In this episode, I reflect on growing up in a culture where dating without chaperones wasn't an option. We're talking courtship, structure, boundaries, and how those systems compare to modern dating today. Was it restorative? Protective? Both? As dating culture continues to evolve, it's worth asking: what did we gain, and what did we lose?
