In today's episode, coach Marla Beech highlights a journaling technique to get REAL with ourselves in safe and empowering ways thanks to a coach who introduced her to the research behind this application to self-care, Dr. Matt Townsend, https://matttownsend.com

Marla Beech, The Hope Coach, focuses on Finding PEACE with the past & HOPE for the future!

Marla is wife to the man she adores, mom to 4 adult children, 2 in-law children and a Grandma’ma!

Marla has a BS Degree in Elementary Education, is a Certified Peacemaker Coach through the Townsend Relationship Center, host of the Overburdened No More Podcast, and an educator/speaker.

She loves to hike, journal, travel, sew, knit, crochet, garden & read any chance she gets, which these days isn’t as often as she’d like.

Marla loves coaching women who are working their way through their FOG. As a woman who also deals with the FOG, she knows what it takes to stay mentally, physically, emotional and spiritually healthy.

As a certified Coach, Marla focuses on sharing skills of HOPE to those she works with, through journaling, mindfulness, priority planning, and positive psychology principles. She believes that connection with your TIME, LIFE, and SELF are key to overcoming the effects of your personal FOG.

As a devoted Christian, Marla shares how Jesus Christ gives lasting peace and hope, whatever your circumstances. “I acknowledge there are things I can’t resolve on my own and that the things I have learned that have saved me, ultimately came from Jesus Christ.”

Optimism is the result of having a perfect brightness of HOPE while loving God and all mankind.

Marla works one-on-one with clients as well as groups. She loves helping women apply skills that create HOPE through purpose driven practice. She offers many online classes and in-person group workshops to reach as many people as possible.

Marla is obsessed with connection! She desires every woman to feel connected to her SELF. This connection happens as she recognizes her unique gifts, talents, and character strengths and then uses them to connect to herself so she can connect more authentically with others.

Anna K. Morris and I share a passion for journaling and a dedication to not getting away with anything on the page!

As a Clarity and Confidence Coach, boy mom, yoga instructor, and home designer "committed to everyone living a life they love," Anna knows firsthand we can't get to "what we're not willing to look at (examine)." Journaling is one of the best self-care practices to do this!

Anna and I talk about getting gritty, dipping in, delighting, and discovering the best life has to offer thanks to our beloved journal practices. A practice that lovingly serves ourselves and others in mindful self-care and personal development, we've worked to transform lives by rediscovering ourselves.

Sixteen years of loving service to her clients in, Anna helps you "dive deep, excavate, and discover the truest version of yourself."

Enjoy the prompt she leaves us close to the end of our conversation! It's a powerhouse prompt for sure!

If you're interested in working with Anna this Summer, she has The Reconnect 8-week group coaching program starting June 17th.

Anna also recently launched her own podcast! Catch episode one of The Afundance Podcast! "Fun is the ultimate shortcut to abundance! Tune in for stories of how embracing joy leads to overflowing love, wealth, success, and so much more. Get ready to laugh, learn, and live abundantly!"
