In this episode we are speaking with the Self-Mastery Mentor, Mahima.  Mahima is Europe’s No 1 Self Mastery Mentor, Mindset Trainer, International Bestselling Author and Award Winning Speaker and Founder of The Mahima Mindset

MAHIMA is the first Black Self Mastery Mentor to have spoken at The Harvard Club of Boston in July 2018. In 2017 she got to share the stage with Sir Richard Branson at a business development event in Singapore. She has also had the privilege to share the stage with other thought leaders like Les Brown, Kevin Harrington, Lisa Nichols, Vishen Lakhiani and Kane and Alessia Minkus. Mahima has done over 10 000 hours of meditation practice and to date has helped transform the lives of thousands of people, with her unique creations, “The inner peace formula” and “The own your superstar” multi award winning training. Since 1997 Mahima and her team have developed a world-class personal growth academy, which evolved into what is today known as The Mahima Mindset. The Mahima Mindset helps people find and live their higher purpose. In this episode we discuss:

1) Switching our emotions of comparison to inspiration.  The people who we may look at and fall into comparison with are actually showing us what is possible, so if we can shift it to inspiration it opens up so much more possibility. 2) The power of self-love and how powerful it is to learn how to embrace and reclaim all parts of ourselves.  The pieces that we are resisting can actually be the pieces that connect us to ourselves and others.  This is the path that leads to finding our authentic message, the keys to being vulnerable and being yourself.

In this episode I am sharing some thoughts on the in-between, the time in between where we are today and where we think we are supposed to be. 

In today’s episode we discuss:

1) The in-between is the most uncomfortable time, where we aren’t where we want to be yet, and we equate that to doing something wrong, not enough, or that we are on the wrong path.  There is power in the pause and this is the in-between space.  We are not yet who we want to be and have to grow into the version of the person who can hold and handle the next level of success, yet that person is inside of us, it is up to us to bring them to life. 2) This is the time we feel the most resistance, the most struggle and resistance recruits allies, thank you Steven Pressfield, and it shows up a lot like self-sabotage. The power of the pause. This is the time to become the identity that you are desiring to be.  Health, fitness, reader examples. To assume the identity is to become that version, what do you do, see, hear, feel if you have that identity.  Use this in-between time to anchor in the traits of this person. Bringing in your subconscious mind and not just consciously setting the goals. Goal getter vs goal setter 3) At the identity level,  the self-image, the ideas a person constructs about themselves and their behaviour, abilities and beliefs, mostly unconsciously. In this level of change it is our beliefs, our values that will shape our identity. 4) In this in-between we are learning more about ourselves, building on our non-strengths, learning what is required, and getting clear on what we do or don’t want.  It is a time of pause, but it is a required time of learning.  The more resistance we feel and feed on the longer we can stay in this in-between.  It requires surrender, trust, aligned action, belief.  This is where one small step or act of courage every day can move the needle forward to create results.  If you rush the in-between, or crowd more into this space, you create a temporary crash landing of more in between.  You might not know exactly where you are going, but you know that backwards isn’t an option.

In this episode I am sharing my own answer to the last question I ask every single guest, yet I don’t know if I have fully answered it myself. 

In today’s episode we discuss:

1) Where these questions originated from and why I wanted to include it at the end of each interview. 2) That no matter how isolated I feel in my situation or in my story, I am not alone.  The only reason I feel alone is that I am making it about myself and I am not being open and vulnerable and those are strengths that I have cultivated over the years.  Also what goes with this is when I feel alone I am making it about myself, and that never moves me out of my own mindset. 3) The best purpose I have ever felt is when I started to make this journey about others and how I could make an impact and show others what is possible.

In this episode we are speaking with Transformation Coach, Brian Gorman. Brian brings decades of experiencing, studying, and guiding others through the human change journey. As a transformation coach, his starting point is to work with his clients as they answer the question, "What makes your heart sing?" Together, they then prepare, plan, and take the journey as the client lives into their passion. Brian's work engages what Joseph Campbell referred to as the Hero's Journey, as well as a deep understanding of the psychology and neuroscience of change and the power of story.  In this episode we discuss:

1) Brian’s back stories, the change journey and how this is the basis for all the work he does today with his clients. 2) How to connect with your passion, what some of the obstacles are that people face when it comes to creating change and what anchors are and why they are important during change.

In this episode I am sharing some thoughts on how my own personal story has evolved, what I have learned in this process and some of the key areas I am committed to doing the work. 

In today’s episode we discuss:

1) Where it started 10+ years ago, and I am sharing what it felt like in those early days. 2) Some of the key turning points, the courage, the unknown, and the doors that opened up for me which felt like out of nowhere.  The tickets to events gifted by strangers, the willingness to play full out, and how it was actually the discomfort that nudged me further. Good vs great

3) Now I am building a newer audience, becoming known for more than just sharing stories, following up on big visions, and still navigating doubt every single day. This is where the NLP tools have been so helpful in helping me navigate my blind spots. Join the OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification https://www.marshavanw.com/outspoken2023

In this episode I am sharing some thoughts on the progress you can’t see, and how often we judge ourselves for the progress that we can’t see and then assume that nothing is happening. When you start judging yourself for the progress and then equating that to your value it will stop you faster than you realize. 

In today’s episode we discuss:

1) You can have full certainty in your vision, and not have certainty in the path or how you will get there. There’s a million ways to get there so how can you stay more open in all of the possible ways to get there? 2)  Think of a bamboo tree. Its growth has been measured at almost 4 feet in a 24 hour period during the Spring shooting period. When the new shoot reaches its height, it will unfold its branches and new leaves.  It teaches us lessons about patience, faith, perseverance, growth, development and, most importantly, human potential. It can take five years to grow. It has to be watered and fertilized in the ground where it has been planted every day. 

3) Allow yourself to be proud of yourself and all the progress you've made. Especially the progress that no one else can see.  You will overestimate what you can do in one year and underestimate what you can do in 10 years.  You are literally the bamboo tree and sometimes it is one connection, one person, one opportunity or introduction that can change your story or situation.

In this episode we are speaking with Author & former Corporate Spy, Robert Kerbeck’s. Robert’s true crime memoir, RUSE: Lying the American Dream from Hollywood to Wall Street is the story of how a wannabe actor became the world’s greatest corporate spy. Frank Abagnale, author of Catch Me If You Can, said, “Kerbeck has mastered the art of social engineering, or what he calls 'rusing', and taken it to a whole new level,” while Shondaland (the producer of the Netflix series Inventing Anna) described RUSE as "a story almost too good to be true with no shortage of wild stories.” Kerbeck’s previous book MALIBU BURNING: The Real Story Behind LA’s Most Devastating Wildfire, won a 2021 SoCal Journalism Award, the 2020 IPPY Award, and the 2020 Best of LA Award. His writing has appeared in numerous publications including the Los Angeles Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, Los Angeles Magazine, and Lithub’s Crime Reads.

In this episode we discuss:

1) Robert’s pivot from the journey of a Hollywood actor to Wall Street as a former corporate spy to a writer and speaker sharing his story.  We are never too old to pivot into the career we desire to have. 2) We are all walking through different stories and experiences and they are continually shaping us into who we are becoming and the work we are here to do.

In this episode I am sharing my thoughts on a quote I heard Lori Harder say on a podcast.   It stopped me in my tracks and I knew it was something I wanted to share more thoughts on.  “If you bring forth what is within you, what is within you will save you. If you don’t bring forth what is within you, what is within you will consume you.” ~Lori Harder In today’s episode we discuss:

1)  Ask yourself, what is consuming you? What is it that you are holding onto, overthinking and not bringing into the world that is consuming you?  You know the thing that you are sitting on, waiting on, resisting, feeling frustrated over, that energy is all consuming for you and it is not moving the needle forward for you or for the impact you are here to create in the world. 2) If you bring forth what is within you, it will save you. I knew years ago that I was meant to bring my story forward, to do something good with it, and I spent so long sitting in doubt, fear, and uncertainty.  Join the OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification https://www.marshavanw.com/outspoken2023 Connect with us on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/user?u=84564864

Today we are speaking with Business Mentor, Laura Minard.  Laura is the co-founder of the largest business mentorship program in the country for nurse coaches.  She is a medical freedom advocate, a financial freedom advocate, and believes in the ability to create one's own reality. In this episode we dive into:

1)  How we all are always working through different chapters of our life, and we will have moments of falling backwards, and how important it is to show others the process so they can find their way through and see what is possible.

2) The topic of shame, how shame is truly arrogance, how we are giving it far too much power, and how we can shift this by finding a human we can trust in being non-judgemental with us.  This is truly the birthplace of changing the story and stepping into who we are truly meant to be. 3) Laura openly shares her story, the struggles and early challenges including overcoming addiction, bankruptcy and founding and creating the largest businesses mentorship company in the country for nurse coaches Connect with Laura:

In this episode I am sharing some thoughts on criticism and encouraging you to stop and see who is actually criticizing you. When you can change where you see it coming from, you change how you see it and ultimately its effect on you. 

In today’s episode we discuss:

1) Criticism is the expression of disapproval of someone or something based on perceived faults or mistakes. Fear of criticism or fear in general is one of the number one reasons why you are not showing up and using your gifts. 

2) Who will criticize you more than what you criticize yourself? No one, we judge ourselves more than anyone.

3) This is the message I want to convey: no one will criticize you for what you are doing.  It will always come from someone who isn’t doing what you are doing.
