In this end of year solo episode, Marsha does something different. Instead of sharing the highlights, wins, or best moments of the year, she opens up about the 10 hardest lessons that shaped her, stretched her, and ultimately changed the way she leads, rests, loves, and builds.From profound loss and grief to boundaries, visibility, rest, identity, and emotional capacity, Marsha reflects on a year of shedding, healing, and recalibration. This episode is a powerful reminder that growth doesn’t come from bypassing the hard parts, but from letting them soften and expand you. If you’re closing out the year feeling tender, reflective, or in transition, this one will meet you right where you are.Highlights[02:40] Why Marsha chose to share the hardest lessons instead of the wins[05:55] Doing it alone isn’t strength, learning to receive support[10:48] Outgrowing people while still loving them from a distance[14:30] Why success requires emotional capacity, not more hustle[18:12] Triggers as teachers and how expanders reveal your growth edges[22:55] Rest is not optional, it’s strategic leadership[27:40] Not everyone is meant to understand or hold your vision[32:10] Visibility brings criticism, and why that’s not your problem[36:45] Abandoning yourself always comes with a cost[41:20] Identity before strategy, every single timeMarsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and PodcasterJoin the 2026 HWCEO Mastermind: https://meghan-weir.thrivecart.com/hwceomastermind/Unbothered Mind Private Podcast https://www.marshavanw.com/unbotheredmindpodcastUnbothered Entrepreneur Masterclass (for the Podcast Listeners): https://www.marshavanw.com/unbothered-entrepreneur-masterclass-podcastDownload “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in January 2026, in person or virtual) HEREThe Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program August Promo Save $333 HERE.

Marsha teaches how to stay regulated even when everyone wants something from you, how your subconscious listens to the words you speak, and how to build a December that feels grounded, present, and doable.If you’ve ever felt like the strong one who must carry everything, or the person who keeps everyone happy at the cost of yourself, this episode is your permission slip to put that sh*t down.Highlights [01:35] Why December feels so heavy and why “carrying it all” is an impossible job[03:12] The backpack metaphor: realizing only 5–10 percent of what you carry is actually yours[05:44] Early marriage stories: driving everywhere, no sleep, and traditions that created burnout[08:01] The truth bomb: the holidays weren’t draining — her lack of boundaries was[10:20] How resentment reveals where boundaries are missing[12:10] The subconscious listens to your words: why “I’m exhausted” becomes your reality[15:14] Breaking the belief that you must do it all for everyone[17:02] Imagining a December that feels grounded instead of chaotic[18:58] Asking for help without guilt and setting realistic expectations[20:47] The difference between numb and unbothered[22:55] The cup and saucer metaphor: giving from overflow, not depletion[25:36] How small daily choices help you show up more present, more grounded, and more youMarsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and PodcasterUnbothered Mind Private Podcast https://www.marshavanw.com/unbotheredmindpodcastUnbothered Entrepreneur Masterclass (for the Podcast Listeners): https://www.marshavanw.com/unbothered-entrepreneur-masterclass-podcastDownload “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in January 2026, in person or virtual) HEREThe Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program August Promo Save $333 HERE.
