In this episode, my guest, Marshall Burtcher, and I discuss the key elements of safety and how it's the foundation of healing and growth. We cover everything from the importance of acknowledging protective parts to mastering the fight, flee, freeze, and fawn responses.
We also discuss cultivating internal awareness and its role in developing more intimate, interdependent relationships. We discuss the impact of codependency and trauma and how accepting and loving every part of you is necessary for everyone.
Join me as Marshall shares his experiences and journey towards safety, connection, and value identity.
Here is what NOT to miss:
[00:02:02] Marshall's journey from a dysfunctional family unit and a religious culture and how he broke free.
[00:09:57] To understand why safety is crucial for personal growth and healing, as our body's instinctual responses (fight, flee, freeze, fawn) are subconscious.
[00:13:46] Slowing down and connecting with ourselves helps counter the internal shaming that often undermines our trust in ourselves.
[00:17:57] The impacts of trauma on relationships and the importance of using tools to address it with the help of others.
[00:24:48] Why real love is not transactional and involves valuing one's sense of worth unconditionally.
[00:34:36] Doing the internal work to fully accept all parts of ourselves can feel hard; it truly leads us back to joy.
[00:38:46] Internal safety and community support are crucial for self-creation and navigating emotional experiences.
[00:41:44] Why creating boundaries based on values and principles is important.
[00:45:55] Overcoming fear and productivity guilt by showing love and compassion towards oneself aids transformation.
Marshall Burtcher is a Codependency Healing Expert who serves people-pleasers, perfectionists, and codependents. He helps them stop fixing themselves and start loving who they are so they can create and enjoy a loving, fulfilling life. He started this work in 2012 after discovering how to heal codependency permanently after 30 years of struggle.

Let’s be honest. Relationships are challenging. They are mirrors to our trauma, triggers, and deepest pain.
As our guest puts it, “Relationships are the laboratories for our deepest growth”. But by using a bit of sports analogy and learning the blueprint, we can alter our brain, heal our nervous system, and enter our relationships with empathy and compassion to thrive collectively.
And thankfully, Lisa Marini, a brain-based relationship, life coach, author, and speaker extraordinaire, will teach us how to create a relationship where both parties feel mutually supported, seen, heard, and understood.
Throughout this episode, Lisa blew me away with how she is trailblazing the world of relationships through the lens of neuroscience in a fun and simple way that resonates with everyone.
Luckily for us, she also shares how she helps her clients and offers snippets from her top-selling book “The Couples Playbook: Relationships Are a Team Sport, Set Up Yours to Win”.
So, whether you’re single, in a relationship, or dating someone new, check out these key takeaways to discover how to create a solid foundation in your relationships so they’re setup for success.

Are you dealing with a narcissist in your life? Perhaps your spouse, partner, family member, or friend?
It’s important to arm yourself with as much education, tools, and resources, to help you break away from their grip and protect yourself.
Even if you think you know what a narcissist is, there’s always another layer to uncover. In fact, narcissism is something I am very passionate about, this conversation explores the different angles and signs from my guest’s experience.
Cindy Morris, a certified life coach, certified Feldenkrais Method NeuroMovement practitioner, and Manifestor, openly shares her journey about how a long-term relationship with a covert narcissist took a toll on her health, physically and emotionally.
But she persevered and developed a keen awareness to heal the impact her partner created. And now, she is touting the life-changing effects of her mission, "Whole body health", and empowering her clients to heal holistically.
Her captivating aura, wisdom, and resilience teach us why slow is the best policy and why connecting to yourself physically, emotionally, and spiritually is the most restorative way to heal and create the life you deserve.
So, here's what not to miss to inspire you to pause, breathe, and reconnect with yourself…

Unfortunately, none of us are immune to the devastating effects of trauma. Whether it was a significant trauma or a series of microtraumas, these experiences push our nervous systems beyond their ability to self-regulate, and the ready-to-react mode can become our default.
But it’s not who we are. It’s only a slight detour as we navigate our ultimate path of healing. And the inspiring and powerful Tasha Wilson, international bestselling author, speaker, entrepreneur, and Ph.D. candidate, is our messenger of hope who reminds us that we can look within, overcome trauma, unlock our voice, and step into our life’s purpose.
In this episode, she bravely shares her trauma as a sexual assault survivor and how she teaches women to reclaim their identity, worth, and existence to live a life far beyond the limitations of their fears and pain.
Every moment she shares is a true gift of inspiration that will uplift you to no longer allow your past traumas to define your life and to always remember that you are ENOUGH and have a voice the world needs to hear.
So, here are a few takeaways that will empower you to live courageously, beautifully, and happily aligned with your deepest desires...
