  1. You’re Not Behind. You’re Rushing

    10H AGO

    You’re Not Behind. You’re Rushing

    What if the reason you feel stuck, exhausted, or behind isn’t because you’re lazy or undisciplined—but because you’re rushing past the order? In this longer-than-usual episode of Hustle & Harmony, Marie reflects on a powerful conversation that reframed everything she thought she knew about progress, abundance, and momentum. The message was simple but confronting: trying to do everything at once isn’t ambition—it’s resistance to cadence. This episode explores why so many of us burn out while “doing all the right things,” how doubt quietly convinces us to bench ourselves, and why incremental action isn’t small—it’s actually the blueprint. You’ll hear reflections on: Why big vision isn’t the problem—skipping steps is How rushing creates instability, not progress The difference between money and wealth Why your gifts aren’t meant to sit on the shelf What obedience looks like in real life (hint: it involves calendars, not vibes) Marie applies these insights across the core pillars of Hustle & Harmony: parenting, relationships, entrepreneurship, leadership, and friendships—offering grounded, practical examples you can actually use. This episode is spiritual without being preachy, honest without being heavy, and meant to meet you wherever you are—whether you call it God, the universe, intuition, or something else entirely. If you’ve been trying harder and getting nowhere…If you feel like you’re “behind” no matter how much you do… You might not be behind at all.You might just be rushing.

    After a much-needed pause, Marie returns to Hustle & Harmony with a message for anyone who’s been hiding their light, doubting their voice, or waiting to “feel ready.” In this soulful comeback episode, she unpacks what it means to stop arguing with your purpose — and how this lesson applies to every area of life: relationships, entrepreneurship, work, parenting, and mental health.
