In this episode, I am sharing a message I received in my dm’s and I know that there is some value for you here and that’s why I am sharing. Someone sent me a dm saying “it is easy to share your story when you have a happy ending.” 

In today’s episode we discuss:

1) What are you waiting for? What story are you telling yourself about why you have to wait for x, y or z to happen before you can start? 

2) How resourceful can you get?  How out of the box can you think? Are you utilizing all of the resources available for you? 3) What you are waiting for is not coming.  Waiting for it to be perfect, for it to be a happy ending means that it’s done and you are done learning and growing, and how relatable is that?

In this episode, I am sharing some thoughts about the emotions that we are experiencing and how they say more about us than we realize.  This one in particular is criticism, which is actually envy in disguise. And envy is one of the most poisonous emotions to carry.

In today’s episode we discuss:

1) The definition of criticism is the expression of disapproval of someone or something based on perceived faults or mistakes. Criticism is the act of making judgments; analysis of qualities and evaluation of comparative worth; especially the critical consideration and judgment of someone’s work.  

2) Both negative and constructive criticism have their appropriate uses, but often it is considered a requirement of criticism that they are combined. Thus, it is often considered that those who find fault with something should also offer an option for putting it right 3) Criticism is a reaction to us feeling a loss of personal value by the attitude or behavior of someone around us. We end up criticizing that person to regain some of our value. 4)  Envy is considered one of the seven deadly sins, and it tends to go hand-in-hand with destructive criticism towards the object of envy. It is destructive both for the person who feels it and the person it is felt towards. This emotion is as common as it is harmful, and it is often masked by superficial, shallow statements Reference for this article:  https://exploringyourmind.com/keep-criticism-getting-way-dreams/ Join the OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification https://www.marshavanw.com/outspoken

In this episode, I am sharing some of the messages and words I receive from people asking me about their story. There’s a constant theme of messages asking, “Is my story big enough”, “who’s going to care”, “is it important enough”, or “what will they think” 

In today’s episode we discuss:

1) The underlying reason why people don’t share is it boils down to this constant fear of judgment, what will others think or say about your work and what you are saying? There’s also a lack of self confidence that also makes it harder to share your voice and message with the online or in person world. 2) Stop talking yourself out of something before you even start.  How would you know it won’t work, you haven’t done it before? If you are ready to learn how to speak on stages, on a podcast, write your book, or make more money in your business, you have to allow yourself to be seen and heard. 3) It’s hard for me to openly celebrate wins, today I share one of the big podcast wins that we are celebrating, and none of it would be possible if I didn’t decide that my story wasn’t big enough 7+ years ago!

In this episode, I am sharing some thoughts and experiences from it being March 1st and not being anywhere near where I set my goals for 2023.  I am thrilled it is March as January and February are not my fav months, but I had a moment of feeling like I am not anywhere near where I thought I would be by now.  Since I am navigating it, I am sure I am not the only one in this loop.

In today’s episode we discuss:

1) The story only has the meaning that you give it. Remember your thoughts are always focused on your past or on creating your future, you get to decide what they mean. 2) Standing in the gap vs the gain, if you can stand in the gain you can see what you have accomplished, what you are experiencing and what habits you have made improvements on.  3)  The goal is to shoot bigger than anticipated so you can stretch, but this is one of the reasons that I don’t love the term goals. It is not all or nothing, it is a process.  Ask yourself what are you learning, what do you know you want less or more of, and how can you ask for help.

In this episode, I am sharing some after watching a movie called True Spirit. True Spirit is the true story of Jessica Watson, the 16 year old who set sail on a 10-metre vessel, a sailboat, on October 18th, 2009 and returned May 15th, 2010.  She sailed approximately 18, 582 nautical miles, crossing through the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian oceans all on her own without stopping.  I loved this movie and I had some big takeaways that I wanted to share with you. 

In today’s episode we discuss:

1) When she decided to go on this journey, her family believed in her, yet very few people believed she could do it and a lot of people were planning on her failing, media, the government wanted to stop her mission, and it wasn’t until she started to live out her vision, she did a video blog of it, and it became real that others started to get on board and support her.  I think she had >80, 000 people meeting her at the harbour when she came back to port. 

2) Imagine 7 months completely on your own, all food, resources mapped out ahead of time, and fighting mother nature in a sailboat?  Without giving any of the movie away, there were moments where she had no wind, and no movement and those moments became the defining moments. This is so parallel to our lives. 

3) It’s the times when things aren’t working out, going as planned, that challenge our identity, our belief in ourselves and those moments forge who we are, and what we believe to be true.

In this episode, I am sharing the idea of writing your story.  This journey of writing 7 years ago and I could never have imagined it would lead to this place of helping others to learn how to share and write their stories too. 

So you have had this dream of becoming a published author but have no clue of where to start? Here are a few tips I wanted to share.

In this episode we discuss: 

1)  Who is going to benefit from your story?  Who are you speaking to?   It actually isn’t about us, that was a huge eye opener when I was writing my story. 

2)  Why are you being called to write?  Can you write from a place of integrity about your story? What is being shared, what is off limits, what are the readers' takeaways?

3) What are the turning points in your story?  This is where I was, this is what happened, and this is where I am now.  Such a simple step process but that’s the general breakdown.  You are the hero of your own story and that is what you are being called to share.

4) So if it is such a great idea then why don’t people do it?  If you are ready to write your collaborative chapter or to dive into your solo book, I invite you to send me a quick email or book a discovery call to see if you’d like to join me in writing your book alongside me this year. https://calendly.com/mvanwyn761/discoverycall Join the OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification https://www.marshavanw.com/outspoken Master Your Emotion Audio Program https://www.marshavanw.com/offers/YFrLty4v

In this episode, I am sharing some thoughts on sitting in the muck.  The muck is whatever you know you are sitting in.  Fear, judgment, waiting to be ready, planning out every single piece before you move, and it is all literally just sitting and waiting for whatever you call it. This is avoiding rejection, feeding the fear, blocking you from opportunities, and not allowing you to step into your gifts and create the impact you are here to create. 

In today’s episode we discuss: 1) Create a guideline for yourself for how long you are going to sit in it before you take action.  No decision is a decision. 2) Rejection and redirection are diving protection. Decide that rejection is better than regret. When I feel stuck I ask myself is this something you would regret not doing later and if the answer is yes, then I say yes and I work to figure it out and sit in trust that this is happening for me. 3) Sitting is ok, it is not weakness, it is listening. But don’t unpack and buy real estate there, you are simply driving through.
