In this episode, Marsha explores the powerful role that personal narratives and subconscious beliefs play in shaping both identity and entrepreneurial success. She discusses how the stories individuals tell themselves influence their confidence, decision-making, visibility, and, ultimately, the results they achieve in their businesses and lives.

Through the lens of a transformational client story, Marsha shares how a dramatic shift in self-perception and belief can completely change what someone believes is possible for themselves. She highlights how many entrepreneurs unknowingly operate from limiting internal stories that keep them playing small, questioning their value, or resisting expansion, even when they deeply desire more success and impact.

Marsha encourages listeners to become aware of the subconscious narratives running beneath their actions and to examine whether those stories align with the future they are trying to create. She emphasizes that sustainable growth begins internally, through identity shifts, emotional regulation, and expanding the vision of what is truly possible.

Ultimately, this episode serves as a reminder that transformation begins the moment individuals stop repeating old stories and begin embodying the identity of the person capable of holding the success they desire.

OUTSPOKEN AD QUIZ

In this episode, Marsha speaks with Carly Carey. Carly is a real estate Team Leader and speaker based on Vancouver Island, known for her ability to build meaningful relationships and create experiences rooted in care and connection.

After being diagnosed with a rare and aggressive cancer while travelling in Japan on her birthday, Carly’s life took an unexpected turn. What followed was a period of uncertainty, delayed treatment, and deep reflection that reshaped how she chose to live.

Out of that experience, Carly co-created Carly’s House with her husband, a home they are renovating to offer comfort and support to cancer patients receiving treatment in their community. What began as a personal challenge has become a way to give back and create something meaningful for others walking a similar path.

Through her work and her story, Carly speaks to the power of choice in the face of the unknown and what it means to build a life that is not only successful but deeply aligned and impactful.

QUIZ

OUTSPOKEN AD QUIZ

In this episode, Marsha explores the powerful connection between identity and personal transformation, emphasizing the truth that you cannot outperform the identity you currently hold about yourself. She dives into the gap that often exists between who people say they want to become and the version of themselves their subconscious mind still believes they are.

Marsha unpacks how many individuals pursue new levels of success, visibility, leadership, or growth while unconsciously holding onto outdated beliefs, stories, and self-perceptions that no longer align with their future vision. She explains how this internal conflict can create resistance, self-sabotage, and emotional exhaustion, even when the right strategies and actions are in place.

Throughout the episode, Marsha highlights the importance of identity work, emotional regulation, support, and repetition in creating lasting change. She encourages listeners to reflect on the stories they continue to rehearse internally and on whether their current identity truly matches the future they desire to create.

[03:56] - Understanding Identity and Support in Business Growth

Kristie Crate lives where the trees outnumber the houses, and the wind through the pines is a steady reminder to slow down. She walks the space between who she has been and who she is becoming, alchemizing lived experience into wisdom.

Her days are layered, not divided. Mother. Wife. Nurse. Co-owner of a construction company. Photographer. Coach. Each role an instrument she picks up with intention.

At the core of it all is one belief: self-trust changes everything. When a woman remembers who she is beneath the conditioning and noise, she becomes grounded and powerful. Kristie believes healing and building are the same sacred practice, and the result is legacy.

To experience Kristie is to feel both roots and expansion, evolving on purpose, not away from her life, but deeper into it.

QUIZ

OUTSPOKEN AD QUIZ

In this episode, Marsha dives into one of the most important conversations in personal growth, leadership, and transformation: the difference between what your conscious mind wants… and what your subconscious mind believes is safe.

She explains how the conscious mind is responsible for setting goals, creating visions, and deciding what you desire for your life — but the subconscious mind is the part actually running the patterns, habits, emotional reactions, and behaviours that determine whether you move toward those goals or away from them.

Marsha breaks down how so many people unknowingly sabotage the very things they say they want, not because they lack motivation or strategy, but because their subconscious programming is still rooted in fear, limitation, predictability, and protection.

This episode is a powerful reminder that transformation is not simply about setting bigger goals — it’s about becoming the version of yourself who feels safe enough to receive them.

If you’ve ever wondered why you continue repeating the same patterns despite how much you consciously want change, this conversation will help you understand why.

In this episode, Marsha dives into the profound impact that subconscious patterns have on our personal growth, business decisions, and client behaviours. She explores why so many people remain stuck in repetitive cycles—not because they lack strategy, intelligence, or information, but because the subconscious mind is designed to prioritize what feels familiar, predictable, and safe.

Through real-life insights and years of experience in subconscious reprogramming and NLP, Marsha unpacks how deeply rooted beliefs and identity patterns can quietly sabotage visibility, growth, success, and transformation. She emphasizes that lasting change does not come from consuming more information alone, but from rewiring the internal programming that determines what we believe is possible for us.

This episode invites listeners to reflect on the identities they are reinforcing daily and whether those patterns are truly aligned with the life, business, and impact they desire to create. It is a powerful conversation about awareness, personal responsibility, and the subconscious mechanisms shaping every choice we make.

In this episode, Marsha explores the powerful distinction between success and fulfillment, and why external achievement alone is never enough to create true inner peace. She reflects on how many high-achieving people chase milestones, recognition, income, titles, and outward proof of success, only to find themselves still feeling restless, disconnected, or unfulfilled.

Through the lens of NLP, subconscious reprogramming, and Heart-Wired leadership, Marsha invites listeners to look deeper at what success actually means when it is not anchored in values, purpose, and internal alignment. She shares that success without fulfillment can feel empty, while fulfillment creates the foundation for sustainable, meaningful expansion.

This episode is a powerful reminder that the goal is not just to achieve more, but to become deeply aligned with who you are, what you value, and the impact you are here to create. True success begins within.

Chapters:

• 00:52 - Understanding Success and Fulfillment
• 10:00 - The Pursuit of Fulfillment vs. Success
• 12:51 - The Journey towards Fulfillment

QUIZ

OUTSPOKEN AD QUIZ

This episode explores the kind of certainty that can only be found inside of you. I’m unpacking the way we often wait for guarantees, validation, or perfect timing before we make the move, say yes, invest, lead, create, or decide. The truth is, the certainty we’re craving rarely comes from the circumstances changing first; it comes from trusting ourselves before the evidence arrives.

Through personal reflections and client conversations, I share how some of the biggest quantum leaps in my life came from decisions made in uncertainty, not comfort. This episode is an invitation to stop outsourcing your confidence to the conditions around you and start building the identity, self-belief, and internal certainty that can hold you through the unknown. Because when you become certain in yourself, you no longer need life to feel predictable before you choose your next level.

Chapters:

• 02:40 - Finding Internal Certainty for Growth
• 06:27 - The Importance of Internal Certainty
• 09:47 - Finding Certainty Within
• 13:12 - Building Internal Certainty for Business Growth
• 15:20 - Building Certainty and Self-Trust
