    845 |  How Big Do You Allow Yourself to Dream?

    In this episode, I dive into how big you allow yourself to dream. Where do you see yourself in two to three years? Will you live your dream, or will you still be in the planning, thinking, or avoiding phases? Throughout the episode, I emphasize the role of our subconscious mind in shaping our beliefs and goals. Many people settle for comfortable and familiar aspirations, but I urge you to break free from that mindset. By examining your past achievements and recognizing how far you've come, you can begin to dream beyond what you think is possible. HIGHLIGHTS 00:01:00 - The Importance of Specificity in Dreams 00:02:00 - Challenging Comfort Zones and Subconscious Beliefs 00:03:00 - Reflecting on Progress and Evidence 00:04:00 - Creating Space for Bigger Dreams 00:05:00 - Normalizing Growth and Overcoming Resistance 00:06:00 - Visualizing Your Future Self 00:07:00 - The Power of Emotion in Dreaming Bigger 00:08:00 - Rewiring Your Beliefs for Success 00:09:00 - Embodying the Version of You That Achieves Your Dreams 00:10:00 - Connecting Dreams to Purpose and Impact 00:11:00 - The Role of Strategy and Nervous System Regulation 00:12:00 - Encouragement to Dream Bigger Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Download “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE  Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in March 2025) HERE Learn more about changing the Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program HERE.

    844 |  The Hairdryer Cord -  Strengthening Your Mindset for Success

    In this episode, I share some stats about the sheer volume of daily thoughts—between 60,000 and 80,000, with a staggering 80-90% being repetitive and predominantly negative. This repetition can create thick neural pathways in our brains, reinforcing doubts, fears and limiting beliefs. I use a vivid analogy comparing our thoughts to a hairdryer cord, illustrating how negative thoughts can become strong and durable while positive thoughts often remain fragile and underdeveloped. Throughout the episode, I encourage listeners to recognize the power of their language and internal dialogue. I challenge them to identify the negative beliefs they may be reinforcing and to consciously work on building new, empowering thoughts. I emphasize that change is possible and that we can create new neural pathways through repetition and intention.  The metaphor of a string vs a hairdryer cord landed visually, and I knew I wanted to share it! HIGHLIGHTS 00:01:00 - Thoughts Become Beliefs 00:02:30 - The Power of Repetition 00:04:00 - Neural Pathways and Their Strength 00:06:30 - Building New Pathways 00:08:00 - Internal Representations and Sensory Engagement 00:10:30 - Anchoring New Beliefs 00:12:00 - The Importance of Consistency 00:13:30 - Identifying Limiting Beliefs 00:15:00 - Reinforcing New Empowering Thoughts Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Download “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE  Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in March 2025) HERE Learn more about changing the Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program HERE.

    842 | Judgment Is a Mirror — And NLP Holds the Key to Compassion

    In this episode, I share the idea that judgment acts as a mirror, reflecting our internal beliefs and feelings. We all have our own internal representation of the world, and each person perceives the world through a unique lens shaped by experiences, values, and emotions. This leads to the realization that trying to change someone else's perspective can be a waste of energy, as they are likely operating from their own internal map of the world.  The judgments we fear from others often stem from our self-judgment. Judgment can trigger unresolved beliefs within us, and I emphasize the importance of self-compassion and forgiveness in overcoming these feelings. Reframing our triggers and approaching others with curiosity instead of criticism can foster empathy and understanding. HIGHLIGHTS 00:01:00 - The Nature of Internal Representation 00:02:00 - The Futility of Changing Perspectives 00:03:00 - A Mother's Unimaginable Experience 00:04:00 - The Impact of Negative Comments 00:05:00 - Personal Reflection on Judgment 00:06:00 - The Fear of Judgment 00:07:00 - Judgment as a Mirror 00:08:00 - Perception is Projection 00:09:00 - The Work of Self-Forgiveness 00:10:00 - Reframing Judgment to Compassion 00:11:00 - Empathy vs. Sympathy 00:12:00 - The Power of Compassion 00:13:00 - Recognizing Common Emotions 00:14:00 - Holding Space for Others 00:15:00 - Avoiding the 1% of Negativity 00:16:00 - The Importance of Inner Work Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Download “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE  Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in March 2025) HERE Learn more about changing the Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program HERE.

    841 | Why the Heck Don’t You Challenge Your Own Thoughts

    In this episode, I’m sharing the importance of challenging our thoughts and the profound impact they can have on our lives. We are not our thoughts; we are human beings experiencing thoughts. With an astonishing 60,000 to 80,000 thoughts racing through our minds each day—most of which are negative and repetitive—it's crucial to recognize that these thoughts are not facts. They are merely programming we have internalized over the years, often without even realizing it. Throughout the episode, I challenge listeners to confront their inner dialogue. I ask, "Why do we accept our thoughts as truth?" Many of us would never allow others to speak to us how we often speak. I share a personal anecdote about a limiting belief I held for years, which was not even my own, illustrating how easily we can adopt narratives that do not serve us. HIGHLIGHTS 000:00:00 - Introduction and Listener Appreciation 00:00:12 - The Importance of Challenging Your Thoughts 00:00:55 - You Are Not Your Thoughts 00:01:39 - Recognizing Negative Thought Patterns 00:02:31 - Rewiring Your Thoughts 00:03:12 - The Role of Neuro-Linguistic Programming 00:04:38 - Understanding Internal Representations 00:05:31 - The Impact of Internal Narratives on External Results 00:06:56 - Interrupting Negative Thought Loops 00:07:40 - Choosing Empowering Thoughts 00:08:34 - The Power of Agency in Thought Management 00:09:49 - Challenging Limiting Beliefs 00:10:42 - Reprogramming Your Subconscious Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Download “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE  Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in March 2025) HERE Learn more about changing the Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program HERE.

    840 | The Unsexy Side of Business & Spiritual Growth with Renee Walker

    This episode of the podcast was recorded in front of a live studio audience. Marsha is joined by her friend, Renée Walker. Renee has been a past guest on the podcast, and we knew we wanted to share this live episode with you.  Together, Renée and Marsha discuss how true transformation comes not from the highlights but from the uncomfortable, unseen work that nobody posts about online. Marsha shares her own journey of navigating challenges, reprogramming limiting beliefs, and the power of self-leadership. Plus, audience questions bring even more depth to this powerful conversation.

    839 | Why Great Coaches Go Deeper

    In today’s episode, I reflect on recent experiences with clients who have faced toxic coaching situations in the past, emphasizing that coaching should not simply provide answers or only focus on the client’s goals, instead can they help clients uncover the underlying barriers that prevent them from reaching their goals. I share my belief that strategy constitutes only 5% of the equation, while subconscious work—addressing limiting beliefs and emotional blocks—makes up the remaining 95%. Throughout the episode, I stress the significance of getting to the root of why individuals feel stuck or engage in self-sabotage. So many clients are unaware of the deeper reasons behind their behaviors, which are often buried in their subconscious. By employing techniques such as FLIP The Script Techniques and asking subconscious questions, we can uncover these hidden beliefs and reframe them to create lasting change. HIGHLIGHTS 00:00:00 - Introduction to Coaching and Self-Leadership 00:01:00 - The Importance of Subconscious Work 00:02:30 - Understanding Goals vs. Blocks 00:04:00 - The Depth of Self-Sabotage 00:05:30 - Identifying Limiting Beliefs 00:07:00 - Fear of Success vs. Fear of Failure 00:08:30 - Transforming Identity Through Coaching 00:10:00 - The Power of Language and Self-Talk 00:11:30 - Emotional Patterns and Client Transformation 00:13:00 - The Role of Identity in Achieving Goals 00:14:30 - Creating Lasting Change Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Download “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE  Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in March 2025) HERE Learn more about changing the Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program HERE.

    838 | 55 Years of Growth, Healing & Expansion

    In this special Friday episode of "Own Your Choices, Own Your Life," I take a moment to reflect on my recent milestone—turning 55 years old. As I celebrate this significant birthday, I want to share the lessons I've learned throughout my journey, particularly the transformative mindset shifts that have shaped my life and business. As I just turned 55, I share how this age feels like a new beginning. I discuss the decades I spent learning to drop my emotional armor, integrate my masculine and feminine energies, and heal old subconscious stories that held me back. This journey has been deeply personal and powerful, leading to significant growth in both my life and business. I emphasize the significance of identity shifts and the need to let go of old stories that no longer serve us. I share how my understanding of success has evolved, allowing me to build a business that honors my values of health and relationships. I also discuss the importance of integrating both masculine and feminine energies in my work, recognizing that true success comes from a balance of strategy and intuition HIGHLIGHTS 00:02:00 - Celebrating a Milestone Birthday 00:03:30 - Personal Journey of Growth and Healing 00:05:30 - The Power of Vulnerability 00:07:00 - Shifting Subconscious Stories 00:08:30 - Integrating Masculine and Feminine Energy 00:10:30 - The Ongoing Journey of Growth 00:12:00 - Chasing a Bigger Vision 00:13:30 - Empowering Others Through Sharing 00:14:30 - Letting Go of Old Stories 00:15:30 - Invitation to Join the Journey Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Download “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE  Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in March 2025) HERE Learn more about changing the Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program HERE.
