• 937 | The Diamonds Were Always Within You

  In this episode, Marsha recounts a powerful story known as "The Acres of Diamonds," from Matt Cook's book, Beyond Wanting, which illustrates how individuals frequently overlook the treasures that lie within their own lives while searching desperately for fulfillment elsewhere. The tale follows a farmer in 1800s Africa who, driven by the desire to provide for his family, sells his farm in pursuit of diamonds. After years of fruitless searching and ultimately losing everything, he tragically takes his own life. Ironically, the new owner of the farmer's land discovers that it sits atop one of the richest diamond mines in history, highlighting the notion that what we seek is often right in front of us.  HIGHLIGHTS 00:00:00 - Introduction to the Story of Acres of Diamonds 00:01:00 - The Search for Worth and Success 00:02:00 - The Farmer's Journey for Diamonds 00:03:30 - The Tragic End of the Farmer 00:04:30 - The Ironic Discovery of Diamonds 00:05:30 - Perception and Projection: What We See 00:06:30 - The Importance of Internal State 00:07:30 - Shifting Focus to What We Have 00:08:30 - The Power of Language and Identity 00:09:30 - Recognizing Internal Abundance 00:10:30 - The Role of Support in Growth 00:11:30 - Reprogramming the Subconscious Mind 00:12:30 - Understanding Your Own Worth 00:13:30 - Standing on Your Own Acres of Diamonds  Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Unbothered Mind Private Podcast https://www.marshavanw.com/unbotheredmindpodcast Unbothered Entrepreneur Masterclass (for the Podcast Listeners): https://www.marshavanw.com/unbothered-entrepreneur-masterclass-podcast  Download "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) HERE The Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program August Promo Save $333 HERE.  Tap the "Follow" button never to miss a show, and if you love the show, please feel free to tag me on social media, share it with a friend, or leave me a rating and review.

• 936 | Your Ceiling Is Your Biggest Thought

  In this episode,  Marsha speaks to the distinction between operating under pressure and embracing a state of internal power.  Marsha introduces the concept of the "ceiling" and "floor" in relation to personal beliefs and aspirations. The ceiling represents the highest thoughts one allows themselves to entertain, while the floor symbolizes the deepest beliefs that anchor an individual. She explains that our lives are constructed within the space between these two points, shaped by subconscious programming rather than mere strategy. Marsha discusses the importance of recognizing and challenging limiting beliefs, asserting that individuals do not rise to their goals but rather to the level of their beliefs. She encourages listeners to identify their biggest thoughts and visualize them expansively, while also acknowledging the smaller, limiting beliefs that often hold them back.

• 935 | How Light and Sleep Impact Your Energy with Meredith Oke

  In this episode, I am speaking with Meredith Oke.  Meredith is the Co-Founder of the Quantum Biology Collective, a Podcast Host, and a Speaker, and she is passionate about bridging the gap between cutting-edge science and everyday well-being. After facing her own health challenges, Meredith discovered the emerging field of quantum biology—the science of how light, water, and circadian rhythms influence human health at the cellular level. Through her work, she helps people move beyond surface-level health fixes and instead address the "light side" of health—how our environment, routines, and habits signal the body to thrive. Her gift lies in translating complex scientific concepts into simple, actionable strategies that help people enhance their sleep, energy, focus, and overall vitality. Meredith's mission is to empower others to understand their own biology and reclaim agency over their health and life. By adjusting daily choices related to light exposure, technology use, and rhythms, her clients and listeners discover how small, consistent changes can lead to powerful transformations.

• 934 | If You Spoke Your Thoughts Out Loud

  In this episode, Marsha invites listeners into a deeply personal exploration of the power of thoughts and self-talk. She begins by posing a thought-provoking question: if one were to vocalize their inner thoughts, what would others hear? Would it be a stream of empowering affirmations or a verbal dump of self-doubt and criticism? Marsha emphasizes that our internal dialogue is a powerful broadcast that shapes our reality, and she encourages listeners to reflect on the nature of their own thoughts.

• 933 | How to Shift from 'Away From' to 'Towards' Your Goals

  In this episode, Marsha discusses the difference between conscious and subconscious values and highlights the frustration that arises when one's conscious goals clash with subconscious beliefs. Throughout the episode, Marsha explains that while conscious values represent only 5% of our mindset, the remaining 95% is governed by the subconscious. She illustrates how this disconnect can manifest in daily life, where individuals may claim to value freedom or health but find themselves trapped in patterns that contradict those values. Marsha emphasizes that true alignment can only be achieved when both conscious and subconscious values are in harmony. HIGHLIGHTS 00:00:00 - Introduction to Values and Breakthrough Days 00:01:00 - The Disconnect Between Conscious and Subconscious Values 00:02:30 - The Role of the Nervous System in Value Alignment 00:04:00 - Personal Experience with Values Elicitation 00:05:50 - Understanding Identity vs. Values 00:07:30 - The Importance of Ripple Effect as a Value 00:08:30 - Conscious vs. Subconscious Values 00:10:00 - Motivation Direction: Towards vs. Away 00:12:30 - Sustainable Motivation and Moving Forward 00:13:30 - Identifying Subconscious Values 00:15:00 - Reframing Current Values 00:16:30 - Bringing Curiosity to Your Values Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Unbothered Mind Private Podcast https://www.marshavanw.com/unbotheredmindpodcast Unbothered Resilient Entrepreneur Masterclass: https://www.marshavanw.com/Unbotheredmasterclass Download "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) HERE The Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program August Promo Save $333 HERE.  Tap the "Follow" button never to miss a show, and if you love the show, please feel free to tag me on social media, share it with a friend, or leave me a rating and review.
