    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.

    1041 | The Lessons In Boundaries and Triggers Are Always There

    In this episode, Marsha shares a recent experience that became a powerful real-time lesson in boundaries, emotional regulation, and subconscious patterns. After a misrepresentation involving her professional identity triggered a strong emotional response, Marsha found herself face-to-face with old patterns that could have easily taken over the moment. Instead of bypassing what she was feeling or reacting from the trigger, she used the very tools she teaches to regulate, create space, and choose how she wanted to respond. Marsha explores the difference between validating your emotions and allowing them to drive your behaviour, why certain situations can activate much older stories, and what it looks like to hold a boundary while remaining grounded in who you are today. This episode is a reminder that doing the work doesn’t mean you stop getting triggered. The work shows up in what you’re able to do next — how quickly you recognize the pattern, regulate yourself, communicate clearly, and choose a response that reflects who you are becoming.

    1040 | Your Subconscious Sets the Floor

    This episode explores the difference between your ceiling and your floor—and why your subconscious beliefs determine which one wins. Marsha explains that while your goals represent what's possible, your current identity, beliefs, and nervous system create the foundation you continually return to. She shares why lasting growth isn't about setting bigger goals, but about raising your internal standard so your life and business can naturally expand. This episode challenges listeners to examine the subconscious patterns shaping their reality and shows why elevating your floor is the key to reaching your highest potential.

    1039 | Finding the Path to Modern Consciousness Stacie Shifflett

    In this episode, Marsha speaks with Stacie Shifflett. At first glance, Stacie might look like any other accomplished woman well over 60. But behind those glasses and soft smile is a powerhouse who's acquired a $50 million software company with no cash upfront, implemented the first desktop computers for a massive U.S. government agency and became a sought-after federal procurement expert with no formal training, owned a construction company, worked in hospitality, and raised a herd of llamas for 12 years in rural America. Stacie is the queen of reinvention. After her 28-year marriage ended, she embarked on a spiritual journey that led to the creation of Modern Consciousness® and her Amazon bestselling book, Treasure Map to Joy™. With a practical, down-to-earth approach, Stacie guides people through structured self-discovery to chart their own path to joy. She doesn't tell people what to do—she helps them find the answers within through deep questions wrapped in compassion and curiosity. Her superpower? Creating order from chaos and helping people truly understand themselves.

    1038 | The Real Reason My Business Grew 9xs

    This episode explores how your subconscious beliefs about money shape the results you create in your business and life. Marsha shares the inner work that led to significant business growth, revealing that the biggest transformation didn't come from working harder—it came from changing the stories she believed about money, success, and what was possible. She reflects on how old financial beliefs can quietly limit our capacity to receive, grow, and lead, and why lasting abundance begins with identity, not strategy. This episode invites listeners to examine their own relationship with money and discover how shifting subconscious beliefs can create sustainable success without sacrificing health, relationships, or fulfillment.

    1037 | The Leader You Become When You Trust Yourself

Marsha shares personal experiences of leading multiple businesses through challenging seasons while highlighting the importance of surrounding yourself with people who strengthen your vision. She reflects on the power of pausing before reacting, choosing intentional responses over emotional reactions, and building the inner resilience needed to lead with confidence. This episode is a reminder that leadership begins within, and the way you lead yourself will always influence the way you lead others.

Her work is rooted in the belief that midlife is not a crisis but an initiation into a more aligned and authentic way of living. As the founder of Soul Circle, she creates space for honest, meaningful connection, supporting women in releasing limiting beliefs, building self-trust, and stepping into their Queen Era. Jacqueline is a Human Design specialist trained through Erin Claire Jones’s certification program. She brings a grounded, practical approach to Human Design, helping individuals understand how they are uniquely designed to make decisions, use their energy, and move through life with greater ease. She also works with clients to apply Human Design within relationships and teams, creating more understanding, communication, and alignment.
