In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Marsha Vanwynsberghe—speaker, podcaster, author, and NLP trainer—to dive into the transformative power of sharing our most difficult stories. We explore how embracing vulnerability can not only heal ourselves but also create profound connections with others. Marsha sheds light on the importance of ethical practices in coaching and healing, and we discuss the rollercoaster journey of motherhood and entrepreneurship. Together, we tackle the common challenges of comparison and self-doubt and the importance of finding a supportive community. Marsha also breaks down Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and how it can be a game-changer in reframing beliefs and releasing old, limiting patterns. This conversation is a heartfelt reminder to honor our past selves and take bold steps to rewrite our stories for a brighter future.
