Having navigated the deaths of two sons within the last eleven years—one tragically murdered—she stands as a testament to God's faithfulness in the deepest valleys of grief, and now leads others in healing.Her powerful new book, "Gripping Grace in the Garden of Grief," is a raw and vulnerable chronicle of devastating loss. More than a memoir, it is a lifeline, exploring the fragile threads of love and pain that hold us together and revealing the God-given hope that can rebuild a shattered life.Marcia’s mission extends beyond the page. As the co-founder of The Sterling Rose Sanctuary, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, she is boots-on-the-ground in the mental health crisis.

996 | The Ceiling and The Floor–Why Your Vision Keeps Feeling Out of Reach

984 | When Your Body Feels Like It’s Letting You Down
In this episode, Marsha opens up about one of the hardest seasons she has walked through as an entrepreneur — navigating the physical and emotional toll of health challenges while still showing up in her business and life.She shares honestly about the moments when she felt like quitting, the frustration of feeling like her body was working against her, and the invisible weight that so many entrepreneurs carry behind the scenes.Marsha reminds listeners that success is rarely a straight line.

Jen is a Recovery & Trauma Healing Coach, Spiritual Wellness Mentor, speaker, and founder of Enable No More and the Moms on a Mission movement. With over a decade of experience supporting families impacted by addiction and mental health challenges, Jen brings a compassionate, trauma-informed, and prevention-focused approach to healing and recovery.After more than 25 years navigating addiction within her own family, Jen experienced a profound awakening that reshaped her understanding of recovery.

In her work, she often shares that we are all recovering from something.Jen’s approach integrates subconscious mind reprogramming, nervous system regulation, evidence-based family recovery principles, and spiritual psychology to support lasting change at the root level. Her work helps individuals shift unconscious beliefs and patterns that keep them stuck, allowing peace, clarity, and self-leadership to emerge.She works primarily with mothers, partners, and families to break cycles of generational trauma and suffering, supporting them to reclaim their power and create legacy-level healing.Jen is a PHAM Ambassador with the Preventative Health Awareness Movement, recognized by Health Canada, and a co-author of A Bigger Mission.

981 | The Wins No One Sees
In this solo episode, Marsha explores a powerful truth most people overlook: the wins that change you the most are rarely the ones anyone sees.As she approaches the milestone of recording her 1000th podcast episode, she reflects on what it really takes to build something meaningful. The consistency. The doubt. The quiet decisions to keep going when no one is clapping. The private moments when quitting feels easier than continuing.Marsha invites listeners into a deeper question: If someone watched your actions — without hearing your goals, your dreams, or your intentions — what would they believe about you?Because the truth is, we are celebrated in public for results that were built in private.This is an episode about integrity. About identity. About the quiet perseverance that shapes who you are becoming long before the world recognizes it.Chapters:[0:08] Diving Deeper into the Journey[01:25] The Hidden Wins: Recognizing Your Unseen Achievements[05:09] Navigating the Challenges of Business and Self-Care[08:56] Building Identity Through Repetition[11:21] Celebrating Your Wins: Building Resilience and IdentityMarsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and PodcasterWrite Your Damn Book Program: https://www.marshavanw.com/writenowUnbothered Mind Private Podcast https://www.marshavanw.com/unbotheredmindpodcastUnbothered Entrepreneur Masterclass (for the Podcast Listeners): https://www.marshavanw.com/unbothered-entrepreneur-masterclass-podcastDownload “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in January 2026, in person or virtual) HEREThe Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program August Promo Save $333 HERE.Tap the “Follow” button never to miss a show, and if you love the show, please feel free to tag me on social media, share it with a friend, or leave me a rating and review.

Reframing serves as a pivotal mechanism through which people may transform their internal states without any changes to their external circumstances.

Marsha shares a personal story of the experience of reframing, asserting that a mere shift in meaning can lead to profound changes in your story.

978 | If Everyone Likes You, You’re Playing Small
In this episode, Marsha shares a powerful reminder about the cost, and the importance, of showing up authentically. She explores the difference between simply inspiring others and truly activating them to see what’s possible in their own lives, while acknowledging that not everyone will resonate with your voice or message. Marsha discusses how being misunderstood is often the “tax” you pay for authenticity and why trying to please everyone only leads to playing small. Instead, she encourages listeners to focus on speaking their truth, trusting their impact, and remembering that even helping one person through your message makes it worth sharing.Chapters:[03:41] - Navigating Authenticity and Acceptance[04:30] - Understanding Activation and Inspiration[07:12] - Embracing Authenticity and Misunderstanding[11:08] - Finding Your Voice[12:30] - Embracing AuthenticityMarsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and PodcasterWrite Your Damn Book Program: https://www.marshavanw.com/writenowUnbothered Mind Private Podcast https://www.marshavanw.com/unbotheredmindpodcastUnbothered Entrepreneur Masterclass (for the Podcast Listeners): https://www.marshavanw.com/unbothered-entrepreneur-masterclass-podcastDownload “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in January 2026, in person or virtual) HEREThe Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program August Promo Save $333 HERE.

974 | How to Know What to Cut and What to Keep From Your Book
In this solo episode, Marsha pulls back the curtain on one of the most underestimated parts of writing a book: the editing process.As she wraps up her book-writing series, she dives into what really happens after the first draft is done. Editing is not just about fixing grammar. It is about refining your message, clarifying your intention, and building a bridge between your raw story and the finished book your reader will hold in their hands.She breaks down the difference between developmental editing and line editing, explains why cutting content can feel deeply personal, and challenges writers to shift their focus from “my whole story” to “what serves the reader.” Marsha shares her own experience of spending months editing her book, the emotional resistance that shows up, and how identity, perfectionism, and fear all resurface during this phase.She also offers practical advice on who to trust with your manuscript, how to gather feedback without losing confidence, and why the editing stage is sacred, necessary, and completely normal to feel frustrated in.If you’re writing a book, thinking about writing one, or sitting on a draft that feels overwhelming, this episode is a grounded and honest look at the process that transforms a raw document into a powerful, publish-ready story.Chapters:[00:06] - Starting Your Journey of Change[01:39] - The Editing Process[05:06] - The Process of Developmental Editing[12:05] - The Editing Process: Challenges and Insights[14:19] - The Importance of the Editing ProcessMarsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and PodcasterWrite Your Damn Book Program: https://www.marshavanw.com/writenowUnbothered Mind Private Podcast https://www.marshavanw.com/unbotheredmindpodcastUnbothered Entrepreneur Masterclass (for the Podcast Listeners): https://www.marshavanw.com/unbothered-entrepreneur-masterclass-podcastDownload “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in January 2026, in person or virtual) HEREThe Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program August Promo Save $333 HERE.

972 | Writing The Book That Becomes Your Business Card
972 | Writing The Book That Becomes Your Business CardIn this episode, Marsha shares how we can shift from the emotional and subconscious side of writing and into strategy. We explore the idea that your book can become your business card, and ultimately a doorway to opportunities you cannot yet see.This isn’t about writing for ego or status. It’s about recognizing that your story carries weight. That it builds know-like-trust at scale. That it positions you for stages, podcasts, collaborations, programs, press, and impact in ways that social media alone never could.Highlights(01:12) – What if your book became your business card — not just a story, but a strategy?(02:32) – Your book is a snapshot in time. You’re allowed to evolve beyond it.(03:13) – Your book isn’t a final destination. It’s the beginning of your work.(04:15) – You must grow into the version of you who can hold what your book opens up.(05:10) – If your past self had seen your current reality, she might have been too scared to begin.(06:02) – Writing a book creates long-term visibility — far beyond a single post.(06:34) – Ask yourself: What do you want people to know about you three years from now?(07:37) – Your story could be the exact answer someone has been searching for.(08:20) – Your book can become a point of legacy that lives far beyond you.(09:07) – The impact of a book can’t always be measured in dollars — but in doors opened.(10:25) – 120 books didn’t mean 120 sales — it meant 120 potential ripple effects.(11:04) – Your book may open doors you’re not meant to see yet.

971 | Writing Your Book Without Guilt or Fear
What if the thing you keep avoiding is actually the doorway to your next level?In this solo episode, Marsha pulls back the curtain on the internal resistance that shows up when growth is knocking. This is an honest, grounded conversation about the tension between comfort and expansion, the stories we cling to, and the subtle ways we sabotage the very things we say we want.Marsha explores what it really means to take responsibility for your life without shame, how to recognize when you’re playing small, and why clarity often comes after action, not before it.This one is reflective, direct, and quietly activating.Highlights(01:41) – The fear that stops so many writers: “What if I hurt someone?”(02:40) – Writing from a victim mindset attracts more anger and resentment — and won’t create the results you want.(03:46) – You are not meant to tell the story from 10 perspectives — only from your own.(04:48) – You can share your story without making yourself or anyone else the villain.(05:08) – Can you write as though the person you’re afraid of hurting is in the room?(06:29) – You can keep your side of the street clean — you cannot control someone else’s internal representation.(08:13) – Blame and ownership sit on opposite ends of the spectrum.(08:46) – The NLP question: Where am I not at cause in my life?(10:50) – Does this part of my story help someone move forward — or keep them stuck?(13:26) – If you take readers deep into the darkness, you must also show them how to rise.Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and PodcasterWrite Your Damn Book Program: https://www.marshavanw.com/writenowUnbothered Mind Private Podcast https://www.marshavanw.com/unbotheredmindpodcastUnbothered Entrepreneur Masterclass (for the Podcast Listeners): https://www.marshavanw.com/unbothered-entrepreneur-masterclass-podcastDownload “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in January 2026, in person or virtual) HEREThe Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program August Promo Save $333 HERE.Tap the “Follow” button never to miss a show, and if you love the show, please feel free to tag me on social media, share it with a friend, or leave me a rating and review.

969 | The Fear of Being Seen (and What to Do About It)
In this episode, Marsha dives deep into the emotional undercurrent that shows up for almost every author: the fear of being seen. The fear of judgment. The pressure to “get it right.” And the sneaky belief that if it’s not perfect, it’s not worthy.If you’re in the process of writing a solo book, contributing to a collaborative, or leading one yourself, this conversation will hit home. Because perfectionism isn’t about excellence. It’s about protection. And it will silence your voice if you let it.Highlights[01:53] You will never be criticized by someone doing more than you[03:12] If perfectionism is driving the car, fear is in the passenger seat and shame is in the back[03:57] How editing during the first draft blocks creative flow[04:11] Perfectionism is protection — and it’s keeping your voice hostage[05:13] Writing from your conscious mind vs. tapping into the visceral, heart-led story[06:01] Vulnerability isn’t weakness — it’s the birthplace of real connection[07:29] Who are you actually afraid will judge you? (Hint: it starts with you.)[08:27] Vulnerability requires boundaries — you don’t have to share everything[09:27] Why some authors need to write 16,000 words to find the 3,000 that matter[11:03] Releasing perfectionism changes the story you tell[12:05] Shift your identity: from “perfect author” to “brave author”Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and PodcasterWrite Your Damn Book Program: https://www.marshavanw.com/writenowUnbothered Mind Private Podcast https://www.marshavanw.com/unbotheredmindpodcastUnbothered Entrepreneur Masterclass (for the Podcast Listeners): https://www.marshavanw.com/unbothered-entrepreneur-masterclass-podcastDownload “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in January 2026, in person or virtual) HEREThe Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program August Promo Save $333 HERE.

968 | How to Stop Overthinking and Start Writing
In this episode, Marsha breaks down one of the biggest invisible blocks writers (and creators of any kind) face: overthinking.Using writing your book as the lens, she unpacks how perfectionism, comparison, second-guessing, and “editing while writing” are not signs that you can’t do it — they’re subconscious protection patterns designed to keep you safe from vulnerability.Strategy alone won’t fix resistance. You can schedule the hour. You can set the alarm for 5 am. But if your subconscious is stuck in fear, comparison, or identity doubt, the plan won’t move you forward.This episode is a powerful reminder that flow is not forced — it’s regulated. Writing isn’t about producing more. It’s about aligning your energy, identity, and nervous system so your voice can come through without interference.If you’ve ever felt stuck, blocked, clunky, or not “good enough” to write, this episode will bring you back to yourself.Highlights[01:41] The common writer loop: overthinking, perfectionism, comparison — and not actually writing[02:03] Why strategy alone (wake up at 5 am and write) won’t override subconscious patterns[03:19] Overthinking mode: Is it good enough? What will people think?[04:10] The difference between “have to” energy and true creative flow[05:17] If you’re not in flow, don’t force production — shift your energy first[06:06] Overthinking as a nervous system freeze response[06:18] You can’t think your way into clarity — it creates more resistance[08:21] Conscious strategy vs. subconscious identity — the 95% that drives results[08:41] Creating safety in your body before you create on the page[09:09] Fake dopamine (scrolling) vs. real dopamine (earned reward)[10:17] Recognizing your authentic voice vs. sounding like someone else[11:01] What would writing look like if it didn’t have to be perfect?[11:23] Stream-of-consciousness writing as a way to unlock flow[12:00] 10–15 minutes is enough to retrain your brain out of perfectionismMarsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and PodcasterWrite Your Damn Book Program: https://www.marshavanw.com/writenowUnbothered Mind Private Podcast https://www.marshavanw.com/unbotheredmindpodcastUnbothered Entrepreneur Masterclass (for the Podcast Listeners): https://www.marshavanw.com/unbothered-entrepreneur-masterclass-podcastDownload “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in January 2026, in person or virtual) HEREThe Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program August Promo Save $333 HERE.

966 | The Lie of I’m Not Ready Yet
In this episode, Marsha dismantles one of the most common and convincing stories that keeps people stuck: I’m not ready yet. Using writing a book as the lens, she shows how this belief applies to every area of life where growth, visibility, and courage are required.Marsha explains how “not ready” is not a truth, but a subconscious safety strategy designed to keep you protected, small, and predictable.

This episode is a powerful invitation to stop delaying your voice, your story, and your next step, and to begin becoming the version of you who moves even when it feels uncomfortable.Highlights[01:37] Introducing the belief of “I’m not ready yet” and how it applies to everything in life[01:53] Whatever story you repeat is the one you keep alive[02:13] You don’t need to be more healed, perfect, successful, or qualified to start[02:42] Why being a different version of yourself later doesn’t invalidate who you were then[03:25] Waiting for clarity and why clarity only comes through action[03:36] Ready is not coming and how “not ready” keeps you safe but stuck[04:15] The process of writing the book is what makes you ready[05:03] Fear of hurting others, saying the wrong thing, and sharing unfinished stories[06:08] “Not ready” as subconscious self protection, not truth[06:46] Safety over growth and why the brain always chooses predictability[07:11] You don’t need to be healed, you need to be willing to move[08:06] Becoming the author as an identity shift, not a writing strategyMarsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and PodcasterWrite Your Damn Book Program: https://www.marshavanw.com/writenowUnbothered Mind Private Podcast https://www.marshavanw.com/unbotheredmindpodcastUnbothered Entrepreneur Masterclass (for the Podcast Listeners): https://www.marshavanw.com/unbothered-entrepreneur-masterclass-podcastDownload “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in January 2026, in person or virtual) HEREThe Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program August Promo Save $333 HERE.

962 | The Emotion You’re Avoiding Is the Key to Your Growth
In this episode, Marsha invites listeners to pause and take an honest look at what’s been showing up emotionally as the new year unfolds. Instead of pushing discomfort away, she offers a powerful reframe: the emotion you keep avoiding may actually be the clearest signal of your next level of growth.Through personal stories, client insights, and grounded reflection, Marsha explores how avoidance drains energy, keeps us stuck in cycles, and disconnects us from deeper connection and capacity. She shares why emotions are not problems to solve, but data to listen to, and how learning to feel instead of armor up creates space for more presence, meaning, and expansion.This episode is an invitation to stop numbing, stop running, and gently meet yourself where you are. Because when you allow what you feel, you unlock what’s next.Highlights[01:30] The question to ask a few weeks into the new year: what keeps showing up emotionally[01:44] Why the emotion you’re avoiding may be pointing to your next stage of growth[02:15] Fear of being too much, too weak, or too disruptive and how it fuels avoidance[02:50] How much energy avoidance actually costs on a daily basis[03:16] Doing what you can in 10 minutes and shifting overwhelm through action[03:45] Emotions as invitations, not problems to fix[04:42] Emotions as data and learning to pay attention instead of judging them[05:20] Sitting with discomfort because it’s teaching you something important[06:02] Choosing connection over productivity in a hard emotional moment[06:45] Building capacity to feel by leaning in instead of shutting down[07:25] Avoidance leads to numbness, not safety[09:08] Meeting yourself without armor and discovering your emotional superpowerMarsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and PodcasterJoin the 2026 HWCEO Mastermind: https://meghan-weir.thrivecart.com/hwceomastermind/Unbothered Mind Private Podcast https://www.marshavanw.com/unbotheredmindpodcastUnbothered Entrepreneur Masterclass (for the Podcast Listeners): https://www.marshavanw.com/unbothered-entrepreneur-masterclass-podcastDownload “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in January 2026, in person or virtual) HEREThe Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program August Promo Save $333 HERE.

She shares a vulnerable behind the scenes moment of financial contraction and explains why income is never just about effort or strategy, but about subconscious safety and identity.Through personal experience and NLP based insight, Marsha reframes money as a nervous system conversation and invites listeners to examine their own money stories, set points, and capacity to receive.

959 | No More Doing - What Word Are You Releasing This Year?
In this episode, Marsha invites listeners to question one of the most normalized words in entrepreneurship and personal growth: doing. As the year unfolds differently than expected, she shares how shifting from goal chasing to identity work has revealed a deeper pattern of pushing, proving, and over-efforting that many high performers unknowingly live inside.Through personal stories, nervous system awareness, and powerful metaphors, Marsha explores how constant “doing” keeps us locked in sympathetic survival mode, and why pausing, allowing, and receiving are not signs of weakness but essential components of sustainable growth. She reframes success through the lens of capacity, regulation, and support, offering a new vision of leadership where rest is not earned but required.This episode is a permission slip to slow down, clean up the language you use with yourself, and build a life and business that supports your health, relationships, and long-term vision.Highlights[01:10] Why this year feels different and the shift from goal setting to identity work[02:00] Bringing structured support into the business and noticing the foundation gaps[02:47] What happens when someone finally tells you “something has to come off your calendar”[03:26] The realization that the word “doing” was quietly driving pressure and burnout[03:57] How language subconsciously signals pushing, proving, and never being enough[05:08] The underdog narrative and why “push harder” stories wire us for overdrive[06:22] Committing to recovery as deeply as commitment to hustle[07:28] Reframing success as building capacity, not grinding harder[08:36] Catching the word that activates your sympathetic nervous system[09:43] Proof that pausing, receiving, and support can still create massive resultsMarsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and PodcasterJoin the 2026 HWCEO Mastermind: https://meghan-weir.thrivecart.com/hwceomastermind/Unbothered Mind Private Podcast https://www.marshavanw.com/unbotheredmindpodcastUnbothered Entrepreneur Masterclass (for the Podcast Listeners): https://www.marshavanw.com/unbothered-entrepreneur-masterclass-podcastDownload “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in January 2026, in person or virtual) HEREThe Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program August Promo Save $333 HERE.
