  • Life Check Yourself 454 – How to Reinvent Yourself at Any Age with Marc Von Musser
    Jun 5 2024

    Marni welcomes Marc Von Musser, founder of SoarAndRoar, to the Life Check Yourself studio where the duo discusses how to ditch the victim mentality and start rebuilding your life. In this new series about reinvention, the duo discussed what it means to reinvent yourself. And it’s something that can be done at any age. They delve into the tactics to silence your inner critic and allow room for your inner superhero to grow and transform obstacles into success.

    * How to ditch the victim mentality

    * How to stop fearing failure

    * Always set ambitious goals

    Are You Listening to Your Inner Superhero? [07:48]

    Ditch the preconceived notion that everything is going to be easy. It won’t. And instead of letting the inner critic dominate, channel your inner superhero to view challenges as opportunities for growth rather than reasons to give up.

    Within each of our brain, we have a superhero, a version of us that has done amazing things. But there’s also a supervillain and society has really cultivated that supervillain.

    Fail Forward [15:26]

    Understand that failure is a crucial part of growth. When you put yourself in the mindset of failing forward, you transform into a person that will continuously be learning and improving.

    In rebuilding myself, I’m not expecting not to have challenges. I hope that I do have those challenges because that’s the area of weakness that I need to improve on.

    Who Are You Surrounding Yourself With? [30:45]

    It’s important to have people in your life who believe in you and your dreams. The person you have in your ear will be a defining factor in whether you win or lose.

    That’s a big part. And here’s the truth. Some of you don’t have that partner. That’s just the truth. You don’t have that partner that’s going to remind you of your greatness.

  • Life Check Yourself 453 – This is the Type of Job You Should Quit with Shelley Paxton
    May 29 2024

    Marni welcomes Shelley Paxton to the Life Check Yourself studio where the duo discusses how to listen to yourself and navigate towards what your soul truly wants. Shelley is an author, a speaker and a change-maker. She helps people redefine their success. In this episode, Marni and Shelley talk about how to get out of something that makes you miserable. With the daily grind of life, and the pressure thrown at you from every direction, sometimes it’s easier to just continue on the conventional track, to stick to the initial plan. And it ends up slowly eating at you, at your soul.

    * How to take it one step at a time

    * Don’t wait out your pain

    * How to live your truth

    Is it time for a sabbatical? [00:40]

    It’s a sabbatical in the large sense of the term, almost like a rebirth. When it seems like your current life, whether that’s a job or otherwise, is dragging you down, where everything requires this magnanimous effort, it’s time for a sabbatical. It’s not a vacation, it’s a journey to reconnect with yourself and your soul.

    I’m going to be the sole chief officer of my own damn life. And that was the beginning.

    S is for Shackles [53:20]

    In Shelley's Soul Framework, the S stands for shedding the shackles you should. And what that means is breaking free from the narratives, and the “shoulds” and “shouldn’ts” that you’ve told yourself define you. It’s becoming aware of the narratives that you’ve built around your identity, that are influenced by culture, society, upbringing, expectations…and the list goes on.

    Whatever it is, we have these should, and these narratives. They come from this place of guilt, people pleasing and these cultural narratives that have been drilled into us. Especially for women, for a very, very long time.

    It’s Value Over Validation [01:01]

    It’s important to prioritize your own values over seeking external validation. Focus on what truly matters to you at your core.

    All these boxes of traditional success, that I was ticking, they were all external validation. They were all outside of me.

  • Life Check Yourself 452 – The Simple Secret To Happiness with Dr. Harry Cohen
    May 22 2024

    Marni welcomes Dr. Harry Cohen to the Life Check Yourself studio where the duo delves into the practice of nurturing traits that make people naturally gravitate towards you. What are these virtues that attract people? Harry is an author, having most recently published the book, “ Be the Sun, Not the Salt''. In this episode, Marni and Harry discuss how to forgive your mistakes and move forward while practicing the authentic virtues that will bring out the best version of yourself and those around you. Are you ready to be the change you wish to see in the world?

    * How to embody virtuous behavior

    * Learn from history’s greats

    * How to practice apologizing well

    How to Level up [13:41]

    Seek out and learn from people who exemplify the highest virtues and achievements. By understanding these positive energizers, you absorb their wisdom and integrate those practices into your own life.

    Those are exemplars. Those are the people who we intuitively and naturally are drawn to and want to be around.

    Knowledge Isn’t Doing [20:01]

    Knowledge isn’t enough; it’s the application of that knowledge that matters. Act on the wisdom you acquired by performing brave and kind deeds.

    The Learning is by doing. You want to be brave, act bravely. That’s Aristotle. Send the text, make the call, pick up the phone.

    Simplicity and Consistency [28:25]

    Consistency is inevitable for any kind of improvement in any aspect in our lives. Small, consistent actions can lead to significant improvements in our lives and relationships. It is by consistently practicing a certain behavior that they eventually become habits.

    You just practice. You step in it and then you go clean it off after you step in it. You have to make the error and then do the next right thing. That’s part of it.

Best place to start fixing your dating!

I first started learning about Marni and her outlook by listening to the podcast! She works with women right where they are in dating! If you want to delve deeper, I'd recommend working with Marni in one of her programs; it's been life changing for me!
