    1053 | You Cannot Create a New Life From an Old Identity

    In this episode, Marsha explores a powerful truth: you cannot create a new life while continuing to hold onto an identity built for an old one. She shares how we can become attached to identities, labels, and stories because they feel familiar and safe — even when they no longer align with who we are becoming. Marsha also explores the difference between standing in your story and standing on your story. When you stand in it, the story can define you. When you stand on it, you can use what you've lived through as perspective, wisdom, and a foundation for where you're going next. This episode is an invitation to notice which identities you're ready to release and consciously choose the ones that match the life you're creating.

    1052 | Leading From Overflow - Where is the Kink in Your Hose?

    In this episode, Marsha explores the difference between overflow and overwhelm — and how easily we can confuse the two. After speaking to a group of women about leading from overflow, Marsha noticed something unexpected: the idea of having more actually created contraction. Overflow felt like overwhelm. Using the metaphor of a kinked hose, she explains that overwhelm is what happens when everything feels restricted and pressure builds, while overflow is about opening the flow and expanding your capacity to receive, create, and lead. This episode invites you to identify the beliefs, fears, and subconscious patterns creating the kink in your own hose — and consider what becomes possible when you allow things to flow.

    In this episode, Marsha speaks with Chris Burres. Chris is the published author of Live Longer and Better, Host of the Live Beyond the Norms podcast, and patent holder with a surprising twist – he’s not just a visionary scientist but also a master of comedy improv. Chris Burres is the founder and chief scientist at MyVitalC, where he manufactures a Nobel Prize-winning molecule responsible for the single longest longevity experimental result in history, a full 90% extension of life.

    1050 | What If The Problem Is Not The Problem

    In this episode, Marsha explores a powerful idea: the problem is rarely the actual problem. Our reaction to it is. She reflects on a season of her own life when this concept was difficult to accept because the challenges around her felt very real. Over time, she learned that shifting from reacting to responding changed how she experienced those challenges and what she was able to do next. This episode invites you to look beyond the surface-level problem and examine the beliefs, perceptions, and stories influencing your response. Because when you change how you see and respond to the problem, you create new possibilities for moving through it.

    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.
