Marta on the Move Podcast

Oof… I've been sitting with this one, and I can't wait to get into it.

I had a moment recently where it clicked why so many people end up throwing their dreams away. It's not because they don't want them anymore. It's because they stepped away… and coming back feels uncomfortable as hell.

And in that space, everything rises up. Shame. Judgment. Doubt. And the loudest one: I don't belong here anymore. I'm a beginner again. I have to start over.

We tell ourselves this distortion all the time, and I want you to hear me when I say- you're not starting from scratch. You're rebuilding your capacity, and just the awareness of this is a game changer.

It's a completely different thing.

In this episode, I'm breaking down what's actually happening in that moment… and how to move through it instead of walking away again.

Rare Magic Collective is my free community for those who are defying social norms on aging and want to live a more free, vibrant, and creative life while building their dreams.

Finding The Muse Within- Day Retreat May 16th. Limited space available. If you are in the Pgh area, I would love to see you there.

Hi Everyone,

I just returned home from Paris and London with my mom. So many magical things happened while we were away, one of them a dream for me, which was teaching my Core Fire Class in Paris.

If you have been on the fence about learning about manifestation, I can safely say, I hear you. I was you. I cringed when people spoke about it, and now I know why. I just didn't clearly understand it. Today I offer some clear steps on manifesting your dreams and one key ingredient to make them become a reality.

If you enjoyed this episode, let me know, and if you want to step into my world my Rare Magic Collective is free and open to join.

May 16th brings my in person day retreat Finding the Muse Within

Hello! I have not been around because I have been building a new business, feel free to check it out. Don't worry I will return to talk all about the trials and tribulations of that, just not as of yet. Today I wanted to speak on the subject of manifesting your dreams and how that is directly tied to your self-expression. Buckle up. I just finished up being a guest speaker for a podcasting class at Carnegie Mellon University. It was such an honor to talk to these kids about my experience hosting Marta on the Move this many... many years, and the biggest thing that came up? Expression and a fear of doing it perfectly. It aligned so well with what I am speaking about with my clients currently inside of my Rare Magic Membership So maybe you resonate with this... You have poured through all the books, listened to the podcasts, the courses, you are probably in therapy or have experienced it, and still you find yourself at a plateau. That information is amazing, it's incredible. The learning, consuming, the replacing the negative feedback loops with positive ones? Yes, you go girl! AND there comes a point where all that self awareness actually works against you. If you are reading this being like "but I worked so hard to get here! To be this mindful!" I get you. I was you. I read all the books. I replaced scrolling with self help. I took the courses and listened to them sometimes, plugged into podcasts. Writing notes after notes in my journals. Where are those journals? Everywhere in my house. Looks like A Beautiful Mind if you open one. I was in a holding pattern. What felt good initially, wasn't enough anymore, I could feel it, that restlessness. What moved the needle? You won't want to hear it. It's the PRACTICE of what I was learning. The integration of it all. The EXPRESSION. Because without it, I was hiding. Here's what that actually looked like- ~Showing up to sharing circles and speaking with other people about my grief. Letting myself be fully seen. ~It looked like stepping out of my house and taking that new movement, creativity class or retreat. ~It looked like putting my money where my mouth was and investing in the coach and mentor that didn't pacify me, but activated me and held me at the level I wanted to become. ~It looked like joining the thing that felt uncomfortable, foreign and out of my element. That is what you are missing, and I know it cause I lived it. What got you here won't get you there. You became self aware, now it's time to DO something with it. To allow yourself to not make it perfect, to fail forward because it is the only way we rise. And you aren't just doing something - you're doing it for the thing you were made for. I love being inside my membership for this. I created it because all of the rooms I was already in were more about consuming then acting. I created a space for you to practice what you have learned, what you have consumed, and what is swimming inside of your mind to find true freedom through your expression of aliveness and joy. The opposite of depression is expression, and I loved being able to speak about it with these kids today, and also to all of you. So I ask you... Where have you been hiding or holding back your own expression?

I just got off the call from my Threshold Ceremony, and I am just so in my feels.

The breakthroughs that came through for these individuals.

The power.

The embodiment.

The transformation was so frickin beautiful.

and it reinforced my why...

To lead others in finding inner sovereignty to move forward, deeply connected, to play with their lives in their highest light and timeline fulfilling their missions, creations, and legacies on their soul's path.

and this reminded me of something else too about why I feel that Reset 7 is becoming a movement.

Change happens in community.

Not as the lone wolf..as a pack.

If I look back on my life, I tried to do things alone when I wanted to change.

I wanted to give up alcohol.

I wanted to lose the weight.

I wanted to FIND myself again after loss.

I wanted the foundational power, but I was grasping at things to fill me up from the outside.

I was piling s much stuff on top of an already overfull space.

and I was trying to change alone, what shifted was when I found people to do it with and that is exactly why RESET 7 exists.

Seven days to remove and press pause on our energy drains.

To do it in community

To have fun while doing it.

For anyone who wants to be in this vibe the VIP is still available and the Threshold Ceremony was so powerful.

The journey is ON.

I have a whole magical map laid out to lead individuals that comes after Reset 7.

I won't leave you hanging... but you have to be willing to actually take the step inside.

It's $33 until Jan 1st when the price increases.

• Threshold ceremony is part of the RESET VIP add on Experience and is available for replay.

(Hi everyone! Please excuse my voice for this episode. I have no idea what happened and trying to fic the issue. I sound... well you will see. lol)

For those seeking real change—this is for you.

I speak both spiritually and practically, because in my experience, power lives at the intersection of the two.

Awareness matters. Insight matters. But awareness without implementation doesn't change your life.

It just makes you aware of what isn't working.

Real change isn't sexy. It's not a single breakthrough moment or a perfect ritual. It's the practice of showing up for yourself again and again—especially when it's inconvenient, imperfect, or humbling.

I was reminded of this recently while recording the foundational movement practices for my new free community, Rare Magic.

I'll be honest—I almost quit.

The recordings weren't landing the way I wanted. They weren't perfect. My nervous system wanted to bail and call it "not the right timing."

But then I saw the lesson clearly.

Doing something once and expecting it to magically transform you is its own kind of self-sabotage. So is stopping when things don't look how you imagined they would.

The work isn't the one-time effort. The work is staying with it long enough for it to change you.

When I shifted from "this should already be easier" to "This is a practice I'm willing to stay in," everything softened.

That's where real power lives—not in knowing better, but in doing differently.

And not alone.

Change integrates faster when we're in community. When we let ourselves be witnessed. When we laugh, stumble, and keep going together.

That's exactly the spirit behind Reset 7.

Reset 7 isn't about fixing yourself. It's about pressing pause on one thing that isn't serving you—and practicing a different choice, daily, in community.

We don't aim for perfection. We aim for presence. We make it doable. We make it human. And yes—we have fun while doing it.

Because real change doesn't come from intensity. It comes from consistency, awareness plus action, and choosing to stay in the room with yourself.

I hope you enjoy this episode that speaks about real change, and know you are worthy of it.

This is for the person who is ready to welcome in more abundance into their life...

I made a discovery recently.

There was a disconnect in me that I didn't recognize for a long time.

In my search to recover my sense of self after loss… to reclaim my fullest expression… my creativity, my playfulness, my joy… and even my intimacy in relationships…

I didn't realize that the real disconnection was happening in my body.

What I eventually learned was that the foundations of my "home" — my inner home — were the very things guiding me forward.

And by foundations, I mean going back to what I was giving myself every day:

What I put in my body. The habits I repeated. The patterns I fell into. The way I moved, strengthened, and supported myself.

I had to clear what wasn't working. I had to create space.

And to even feel clear enough to begin… I needed a reset.

I've taken many over the years, and eventually, I discovered what truly works for me:

The connection of mind, body, and spirit.

Feeling safe in my body — that's what allowed me to receive more, hold more, and welcome more abundance.

Releasing what was clouding everything — that's what allowed me to finally hear what my soul had been trying to tell me all along.

But for a long time, I couldn't hear it. Not through the drinking. Not through the overeating. Not through the lack of movement, the lack of clarity, the lack of perspective.

And that's why I created RESET 7.

For the person who knows they're meant to hold more. For the person who already feels the way forward. For the person who understands that we circle back to ourselves again and again — because every rise requires a reminder.

RESET 7 is that reminder. That clearing. That recalibration.

And it's here for you.

We begin Jan 10th.
