Own Your Choices Own Your Life

In this episode, Marsha explores why belief, not just hope or a solid plan, underpins lasting success.

She breaks down the difference between hope (what you want), a plan (how you'll get there), and belief (what you truly expect is possible). Hope gets you started, and a plan gives you direction, but your subconscious beliefs shape whether you follow through.

Marsha shares why you can't outwork what you don't believe is possible, how limiting beliefs can hold you back, and why building self-belief through evidence, identity work, and consistent practice is essential.

In this episode, Marsha explores how the language you use every day may be unconsciously reinforcing the very things you say you don’t want.

Because we become so accustomed to our own self-talk, we often don’t hear the patterns anymore. Marsha explains how phrases like “I don’t want to scramble” can keep your attention focused on scrambling rather than giving your subconscious a clear picture of what you actually want.

She shares a client example where a simple shift in language created new awareness, opened possibilities, and contributed to tangible changes at work.

In this episode, Marsha explores the shift from comparison to calibration — and why we often have a hard time recognizing just how much we've grown.

When you're living inside your own growth, the changes can quickly become your new normal. Instead of comparing yourself to someone else's journey, Marsha invites you to calibrate to the version of you who came before and intentionally recognize the evidence of how far you've come.

She also shares why speaking your wins out loud, surrounding yourself with people who can reflect your growth to you, and being in rooms th...

In this episode, Marsha reflects on one of the biggest lessons she witnessed during six days with four women: transformation requires space.

Mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual space allows us to process what we're carrying, release what isn't ours, and strengthen the beliefs underneath who we're becoming.

Marsha shares some of the powerful shifts she witnessed, along with her own decision to prioritize her clients, release people-pleasing, and trust her intuition even when it felt uncomfortable.

This episode reminds us that not all growth is immediately visible. The unseen work, small wins, and...

In this episode, Marsha sits down with Tamiko McGurk to explore her personal journey of finding calm, experiencing a Breakthrough Day, and the power of timeline work.

Growing up on an Indiana farm, Tamiko learned the value of hard work, resilience, and determination. She carried those lessons into a successful career in agriculture, manufacturing, finance, and corporate leadership.

Despite her professional success, Tamiko experienced two personal rock bottoms that led her to question her identity and redefine what success meant to her. Through personal development, advanced education, and coaching certifications, she began rebuilding her life...

In this episode, Marsha explores how the questions you ask yourself shape the possibilities you see and why changing your questions can change your experience.

She explains how our subconscious beliefs influence what we notice and why asking “What else could possibly be true?” can open the door to new perspectives, opportunities, and possibilities.

Marsha invites you to start planting small seeds through your thoughts, conversations, and actions, stepping into the identity of the person who already believes their vision is possible.

This episode is a reminder that you don't need to know the...

In this episode, Marsha explores the idea that our greatest strengths and our blind spots often come from the same place.

The parts of ourselves we sometimes label as wounds, shadows, or problems can be the flip side of the very traits we've been praised for. Marsha shares her own experience with her armour and fire — parts that once protected and served her, but eventually began limiting who she was becoming.

This episode is an invitation to stop fighting the parts of yourself you think need fixing and instead understand what they've been trying to do...

In this episode, Marsha sits down with Ken Swartz, known as "Ken the Scientist," who is Co-Founder, Chairman Emeritus, and Resident Scientist at C60 Power. He holds a Master of Science degree from the University of Colorado Denver and a Bachelor of Science in Economics from Arizona State University.

In this episode, Marsha explores how anchoring your wins can turn small moments of success into powerful evidence for your subconscious mind.

She explains how to intentionally capture a peak moment by noticing what you see, hear, and feel, then pairing that feeling with a physical anchor. Using Brad’s medal as an example, Marsha shares that the power isn’t in the object itself — it’s in the feeling and meaning connected to the moment.

When combined with stacking your wins, anchoring gives you a way to return to those powerful states and build an evide...

In this episode, Marsha explores why your brain doesn’t automatically file away your wins — you have to intentionally create the evidence.

Too often, we accomplish something and immediately move on to the next goal, missing the opportunity to show our subconscious proof of what we’re capable of.

Marsha shares a simple daily practice of identifying two or three wins within the first five minutes of your morning and intentionally stacking more evidence at the end of the day. Over time, those small wins strengthen the floor beliefs you stand on, building greater self-trust for th...

In this episode, Marsha sits down with four women during the OUTSPOKEN Master Practitioner Immersion for a candid conversation — recorded right from the sauna — about the breakthroughs, subconscious shifts, and lessons that unfolded throughout their time together.

They share what it looked like to release the need to have everything figured out, let go of shame around debt, and put down beliefs and patterns that were never theirs to carry in the first place.

From practicing advanced NLP tools and delivering structured speeches to leading and receiving full Breakthrough Days, this immersion was about experiencing the...

In this episode, Marsha explores what it really means to be Unbothered — and why it has far less to do with what’s happening around you and everything to do with what’s happening within you.

While nearly 8,000 kilometres away from her husband as he competed in Greece, Marsha found herself practicing the very work she teaches: choosing to be fully present where she was instead of being pulled apart by guilt or internal conflict.

She explores how different parts of us can want different things at the same time, creating an internal tug-of-war that drains...

In this episode, Marsha explores a simple but powerful idea: you don’t have to attach yourself to every thought that passes through your mind.

Using the metaphor of trains constantly arriving and departing, she explains how our subconscious mind learns through images, repetition, and familiarity. The goal isn’t to stop the thought trains from coming — it’s to recognize which ones are taking you where you actually want to go.

Marsha shares a personal example of leaving a business that felt familiar and safe but was no longer aligned, reminding us that familiar doesn’t...

In this episode, Marsha sits down with Emily O’Brien. Emily is the founder and CEO of Comeback Snacks, a Canadian popcorn company built on the belief that everyone deserves a second chance.

What started as a personal comeback story has grown into a purpose-driven food brand now sold in more than 1,200 locations across Canada and the United States. Comeback Snacks is known for bold, craveable flavours, but Emily’s bigger mission is changing the way people think about second chances, entrepreneurship and the power of lived experience.

Through Comeback Snacks and its Comeback Catalyst prog...

In this episode, Marsha explores why you may keep hitting the same ceiling — even when you’re using all the right strategies.

The problem may not be the ceiling at all. It may be the floor you’re standing on: your belief system.

Marsha shares why lasting expansion comes from strengthening that foundation by catching old thoughts, stacking evidence of what’s already working, and practicing the identity of the person you’re becoming.

Using the image of an escalator, she explains that when you raise the floor, your next level rises with you — with...

In this episode, Marsha shares the deeper story behind Unbothered and the realization at the heart of this work: if you want to create a bigger vision for your life, you have to build the belief system that can hold it.

She reflects on the moment at a Mel Robbins event when she heard the message to “think bigger,” the challenges of 2025 that forced her to pause, and how that season ultimately revealed that the answer wasn’t moving faster — it was strengthening her self-belief and support.

Marsha shares how Unbothered evolved into a 10-step framewor...

In this episode, Marsha sits down with Mike Hammond, a man whose work has allowed him to be present for moments most people never witness — the moment pain loosens its grip and someone realizes their life may no longer have to be defined by suffering.

Mike understands pain personally. Years of boxing and physical strain left him with back injuries and firsthand insight into how chronic pain can quietly affect mobility, identity, relationships, and quality of life.

But what impacted Mike most was witnessing what happened for others when they experienced relief — veterans, laborers, fathers, and...

In this episode, Marsha challenges the idea that one breakthrough will change everything. A breakthrough can create space for a new belief — but lasting transformation comes from what you repeatedly practice next.

She explains why old patterns returning doesn’t mean the work didn’t work. Rewiring happens through repetition, small choices, and consistently choosing a different response when the familiar story shows up.

Marsha also explores why contraction can happen before expansion and why noticing and celebrating the small wins matters more than waiting for one massive moment of change.

This episode is a r...

In this episode, Marsha explores what it actually takes to become Unbothered — and why the first step is learning to recognize when you’re bothered.

She shares how years of ruminating, overthinking, and carrying other people’s situations drained her energy, focus, and creativity. Becoming Unbothered isn’t about becoming numb or detached. It’s about learning to feel what you feel, process it, and consciously choose what happens next.

Marsha shares practical ways to work with the subconscious patterns keeping you stuck in rumination, including identifying internal conflict, understanding what different parts of you are trying...

Michelle is a speaker, facilitator and creator of the Awaken Your Flame Method™, Michelle has spent more than 25 years guiding people through change.

From keynote stages and leadership retreats to organizations, schools, and communities across North America, Michelle creates transformative experiences that help people reconnect with themselves so they can lead, live, and thrive with greater authenticity, resilience, and intention. A TE...

In this episode, Marsha explores the power of one small word: but — and how it can unintentionally erase everything that came before it.

She invites you to start catching the word in your own language and experiment with replacing “but” with “and,” allowing two truths to exist at the same time.

Marsha shares how this simple language shift helped her stay open to possibilities even during seasons when life and business felt incredibly full. Because the words you use shape your thoughts, choices, and ultimately the results you create.

In this episode, Marsha shares what it looks like to navigate seasons when life, business, family, emotions, and responsibilities are all happening at once.

She explores the importance of letting yourself feel what you're feeling without immediately judging it, fixing it, or attaching a story to it.

Marsha also speaks to the power of duality — recognizing that you can be deeply grateful and exhausted, successful and vulnerable, excited and overwhelmed at the same time. One emotion doesn't cancel out the other.

This episode invites you to give yourself permission to feel, regulate, and su...

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, an...

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 su...

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...

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.

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 ma...

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 ex...

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 al...

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...

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 th...

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.

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...

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.

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...

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 be...
