Own Your Choices Own Your Life

This episode explores what it really means to be “unbothered.”
It explains that being unbothered is not about shutting down emotions or avoiding hard things. It’s about staying grounded and steady, even when life feels challenging.
Through personal experiences, this episode shares how growth often comes from moving through difficult seasons, not around them.
It also makes a clear distinction between being unbothered and forcing positivity. This work is about honesty, awareness, and emotional strength.
This episode is the beginning of a deeper conversation about the beliefs and mindset that support becoming a more empowered and authentic version of yourself.

This episode introduces the concept of becoming “unbothered” and what it really means.
It reflects on the journey through nearly 1000 podcast episodes and how the message of owning your choices has shaped everything.
Through personal challenges, including anxiety and difficult seasons, this idea of being unbothered was built, not as avoidance, but as learning how to stay grounded and steady no matter what is happening.
This episode shares how that shift happened and why it matters.
It’s a reminder that you can lead yourself through anything, make powerful decisions, and create a life that isn’t controlled by outside circumstances.

In this episode, Marsha shares the real experience of holding both joy and grief at the same time.
It reflects on the high of celebrating the 1000th podcast episode, followed shortly by the loss of a loved one. The contrast between these moments shows how life doesn’t slow down or separate our emotions into neat timelines.
Through this, the message is simple: you can feel both. You can celebrate and grieve. You can grow while things feel heavy.
It also highlights the importance of asking for support and not trying to carry everything alone.
This episode is a reminder to meet yourself with compassion and to allow all parts of your experience to exist at the same time.

[02:18] - Reflecting on 1000th podcast event
[04:21] - Navigating challenges in business when Life hits
[09:37] - Navigating Grief and Loss

In this episode, I am speaking with Jonathan Todd Schwartz. Jonathan is a former Hollywood business manager whose life dramatically shifted after addiction, gambling, and poor decisions led to federal prison. Once advising high-profile clients such as Beyoncé and Alanis Morissette, Jonathan’s career collapsed under the pressures of the entertainment industry and the behaviours driven by his addiction. After serving his sentence, he committed fully to rebuilding his life, beginning a deep journey of sobriety, accountability, and personal transformation.
Now over eight years sober, Jonathan works as a Program Director and recovery advocate at Altus Rehab, where he helps individuals navigate the emotional, mental, and practical challenges of early recovery. His story highlights the power of taking responsibility, healing from shame, and creating purpose after hitting rock bottom. Jonathan speaks openly about addiction, redemption, resilience, and the daily habits that support long-term sobriety. His mission is to inspire others to believe in second chances and the possibility of complete reinvention.
