In this episode, Marsha shares the perspective of what happened vs what is happening. Marsha emphasizes the importance of language and how it shapes our internal narratives. She explains that when we speak about past events with heightened emotion, we risk allowing those experiences to continue affecting us in the present. By recognizing that the past is not currently happening, she encourages listeners to shift their language from a past-focused perspective to one that is present and future-oriented. This shift is crucial for personal growth and emotional well-being.

In this episode, Marsha discusses the concept of Unbothered and its importance in building resilience as an entrepreneur, where you will inevitably face rejection, setbacks, and criticism. It's essential to recognize that these challenges are part of the journey. Instead of allowing our armour to block us from feeling and experiencing life, we should focus on building a supportive armour that empowers us. This includes utilizing tools such as hypnosis, meditation, journaling, and exercise to create a strong foundation for resilience.

Being unbothered does not mean being indifferent or numb; instead, it means holding your vision and emotions without attaching negative stories to them. I encourage listeners to reflect on the armour they wear daily and to consider how they can shift from a heavy, blocking armour to a light, supportive one. This transformation is vital for amplifying your voice and message as an entrepreneur.

HIGHLIGHTS
00:01:00 - The Consequences of Armour
00:02:00 - Entrepreneurship and Rejection
00:03:00 - Building Supportive Armour
00:04:00 - Resilience and Emotional Awareness
00:05:00 - The Power of Sharing Your Voice
00:06:00 - Identifying Your Armour
00:07:00 - Building Your Toolbox
00:08:00 - Recognizing Signs of Imbalance
00:09:00 - The Importance of Self-Care
00:10:00 - New vs. Old Armour

In this episode, Marsha poses a critical question to her audience: "What are you waiting for?" She encourages listeners to confront their fears and hesitations about pursuing their passions, whether it be starting a business, writing a book, or sharing their stories. Marsha also addresses the fear of judgment that often accompanies vulnerability, sharing a story about a listener who felt discouraged after receiving negative feedback on a post that was vulnerable. She reassures her audience that if something feels good to them, they should continue to share it, as it will resonate with those who need to hear it.
This message is being shared after the loss of a friend and client, Nicole Thorne, who published her book before she lost her battle to cancer at the young age of 53.

In this episode, I am sharing the concept of "armour" and how it impacts our lives, drawing inspiration from a powerful quote by Brené Brown. I reflect on my personal journey of wearing this metaphorical armour, which I initially believed was a protective shield against judgment, criticism, and the opinions of others. This armour, while it served a purpose for a time, became a suffocating prison. I learned that dropping the armour allowed me to embrace vulnerability, find my voice, and heal. I emphasize the importance of recognizing that our motivation can either stem from avoiding pain or moving towards pleasure. Many of us are great at articulating what we don’t want, but struggle to define what we truly desire.

I share the difference between defensive armour, which is fear-based and limiting, and "unbothered armour," which supports our boundaries and personal growth. This unbothered armour is about using daily practices and resources to maintain a balanced and regulated nervous system, allowing us to stand tall in the face of criticism and challenges.

HIGHLIGHTS
00:00:00 - Choosing Your Armour
00:02:10 - The Weight of Armour
00:04:28 - Motivation: Avoiding Pain vs. Seeking Pleasure
00:07:50 - Reframing Armour
00:09:37 - Building Unbothered Armour

Thank you, Jamie Fitzpatrick, for sparking this concept

In this episode, I share how your energy speaks far louder than your strategy. I emphasize that no matter how well-prepared we are with scripts or strategies, if our energy is off, whether it's anxious, ungrounded, or frustrated, our message will fall flat. I encourage listeners to prioritize their own energy and well-being before attempting to lead or connect with others. If we are running on empty, we cannot effectively serve or inspire those around us.

Throughout the episode, I share personal anecdotes and insights about how our nervous systems constantly scan for safety and congruence in our environments. I highlight the importance of being regulated and grounded, as this energy is magnetic and attracts the right opportunities and people. I explain that clients and audiences can subconsciously sense our energy, often responding more to how we make them feel than to the actual words we say.

HIGHLIGHTS
00:00:00 - Introduction and Review Acknowledgment
00:01:16 - The Importance of Energy Over Strategy
00:02:30 - Leading Yourself First
00:03:44 - The Role of the Nervous System
00:05:00 - Energy and Communication
00:06:30 - The Impact of Energy on Client Perception
00:08:00 - Regulated vs. Dysregulated Energy
00:09:30 - Serving Yourself First
00:10:50 - Conclusion and Community Invitation

In this episode, I am speaking with Carly Ottaway. Carly is the author of COMING HOME, creator of The Mirror Effect, and founder of the award-winning boutique marketing agency Web of Words. She’s currently celebrating 10 years in business and the release of her debut book.

Through her work and writing, Carly leads by going first; she shows up in vulnerability and truth to give others permission to do the same. Carly believes that when we share our stories and step into our favourite versions of self, we unlock a ripple effect of courage, connection, and possibility that can’t be stopped.

After losing her home in a fire in the midst of the pandemic, while leading a multi-six-figure business and raising two young kids, Carly learned firsthand what it takes to do the hard inner work and turn the breakdown into the becoming. Now, she helps others see the truth of who they really are and believe in what’s possible when they come home to themselves.
