The Courageous and Confident Christian Mom: Recent Episodes
Marci
This podcast provides practical tools and real life application for becoming courageous and confident. As Christian women we are born to lead and not follow the ways of the world. By listening to this podcast you will learn how to become more confident and improve your relationship with yourself. In addition to courage and confidence we cover a myriad of topics such as relationships, health, emotions, mindset and money and anything else that is part of being a Christian mom. Because the way you see yourself affects everything you do.
Who are you beneath the roles you perform, the circumstances you have experienced, and the labels other people have given you?
As women, it is easy to describe ourselves by what we do or what has happened to us: mother, wife, caregiver, divorced, single, shy, anxious, responsible, or the one who holds everything together. But those roles and labels are not really who you are.
In this episode of The Courageous and Confident Christian Mom, Marci explores the powerful difference between your roles and your identity.
Your roles exist outside of you. They describe positions you hold, responsibilities you carry, and seasons you have lived through. Your identity lives inside of you—in your heart, values, character, faith, compassion, courage, resilience, and eternal worth.
Marci also shares a beautiful moment from her Come Home to Your Heart masterclass. After exploring a list of personal characteristics, one woman recognized how deeply she had identified with the labels “shy,” “divorced,” and “single mom.” Through years of healing and coaching, she came to understand that those labels described parts of her experience, but they did not define who she was.
In this episode, you will learn:
- The difference between a role, circumstance, label, and identity
- How labels can quietly shape your self-concept and self-worth
- Why something that was once true about you does not have to remain your identity
- How to recognize the qualities that reflect who you truly are
- Why reconnecting with your identity is an important part of self-love and emotional healing
You are not merely what you have done, what you have survived, or what someone else decided to call you.
You are so much more.
This episode will help you look beneath the roles and begin coming home to the woman who has been there all along.

Do you ever finally have time to rest, but instead of relaxing, you feel guilty, restless, or like you should be doing something productive?
In this episode, Marci Owen explores why rest can feel so hard for women who are used to carrying responsibility, managing everyone’s needs, staying productive, and pushing through exhaustion.
Using a personal story from her retreat, Marci shares how even in a quiet, beautiful space, a part of her wanted to maximize every minute, make the retreat meaningful, and turn rest into another thing to accomplish.
This episode will help you understand the protective part of you that believes slowing down is unsafe, selfish, lazy, or irresponsible. Instead of judging yourself for not being able to relax, you will learn how to get curious about what is happening inside you and begin creating a safer relationship with rest.
If you struggle with rest guilt, burnout, overdoing, people-pleasing, productivity pressure, or feeling like you always have to earn your right to slow down, this conversation will help you feel seen and supported.
You will learn:
- Why rest can feel unsafe to your nervous system
- How productivity can become a protective pattern
- Why slowing down may bring up guilt, fear, or discomfort
- How to talk compassionately to the part of you that cannot rest
- What it means to receive instead of constantly produce
You are not bad at resting. A part of you may simply need to learn that rest is safe now.

Have you ever looked at your life and wondered if anything is actually changing?
You have been doing the inner work. You have been praying, trying, learning, healing, showing up, and working on yourself. But maybe your relationship is still hard, anxiety still shows up, your circumstances have not changed, or the thing you are hoping for has not happened yet.
It can be easy to decide that nothing is working.
But what if something important is growing beneath the surface?
In this episode, Marci Owen shares her insights about a wildflower corner, an agave plant, and the reminder that not all growth is visible right away. Some seasons are not about blooming. Some seasons are about building roots.
Marci talks about why women often measure their growth only by visible outcomes and how that can keep them stuck in self-criticism, comparison, impatience, and discouragement. She offers a new way to recognize the quiet signs of healing that may already be happening inside you.
You may not have the flower yet.
But that does not mean you are not growing.
In this episode, you will learn:
- Why visible results are not the only evidence of personal growth
- How nervous system healing and inner work often happen quietly
- What “root work” looks like in real life
- Why impatience and self-criticism can interrupt your healing process
- How to recognize the small signs that you are becoming more steady, self-trusting, and emotionally resilient
If you are in a slow season, a healing season, or a season where nothing seems to be blooming yet, this episode will help you honor the growth that is taking place beneath the surface.
Your quiet growth still counts.

July 3
Have you been telling yourself that you will enjoy your life more when things calm down?
When the house is cleaner, the kids need less, your schedule opens up, your body feels better, your relationships improve, or you finally feel caught up?
In this episode, Marci Owen shares a heartfelt reminder for women who are tired of living in management mode, waiting for the “perfect season,” or pre-grieving moments before they are even over.
Drawing from recent family time, a Yellowstone trip, summer memories, and the small moments that often matter most, Marci explores why so many women struggle to stay present in their own lives. You will learn how anxiety, over-responsibility, and protective patterns can keep you focused on what needs to be managed instead of what is already good.
This episode is an invitation to stop postponing joy, connection, rest, and aliveness until everything feels easier.
Your life is not waiting somewhere in the future.
It is happening right now.
In this episode, you will learn:
- Why waiting for life to calm down can become a protective pattern
- The difference between managing your life and actually living it
- How anxiety and overthinking can pull you out of the present moment
- Why you may pre-grieve meaningful experiences before they are over
- A simple practice to help you return to what is happening right now
If you are a Christian mom or midlife woman who feels overwhelmed, emotionally tired, anxious, or disconnected from the goodness in your own life, this episode will help you slow down, breathe, and come back to yourself.

Do you feel like everyone in your family hands you their invisible basket—and somehow you end up carrying the schedules, the moods, the forgotten details, the conflict, the dinner plans, and everyone else’s disappointment?
In this episode, Marci Owen talks about the protective pattern of over-responsibility: the part of you that feels like it is your job to keep everyone happy, prevent conflict, remember everything, manage the mood in the room, and make life work for everyone else.
You will learn how to recognize when love has quietly turned into over-functioning, why capable and caring women can become exhausted and resentful, and how fear of disappointment, disconnection, conflict, or losing love can keep you carrying what was never yours to hold.
Marci shares a simple “basket check” to help you identify what belongs to you, what belongs to someone else, and what you may be ready to put down. This episode will help you support the people you love without disappearing under the weight of their emotions, choices, responsibilities, and reactions.
You are allowed to care without carrying it all. You are allowed to love without over-functioning. And you are allowed to let other people have their own agency while you come home to yourself.

Episode Website
Have you ever said, “I’m fine,” when you were not fine at all?
Maybe you said it to keep the peace, avoid conflict, prevent someone from being disappointed, or protect the relationship. On the outside, you looked calm, agreeable, helpful, and easygoing. But inside, you felt hurt, overwhelmed, resentful, lonely, unseen, or afraid to tell the truth.
In this episode of The Courageous and Confident Christian Mom Podcast, Marci Owen teaches about fawn mode, people-pleasing, self-abandonment, and the fear of losing connection. Fawn mode is a nervous system response that can cause you to say yes when you mean no, hide your true feelings, avoid hard conversations, ignore your own needs, and prioritize everyone else’s comfort over your own truth.
For many women, especially in motherhood, marriage, family relationships, and Christian living, “I’m fine” becomes a protective pattern. It may look like patience, kindness, flexibility, or keeping the peace, but underneath it may be fear: If I tell the truth, will I still be loved?
Marci helps you understand why your body may know the truth before your mouth can say it, how people-pleasing creates resentment and emotional disconnection, and why self-abandonment is not the price of love. You’ll learn how to recognize when “I’m fine” is not honesty but protection, and how to begin coming home to yourself with compassion, emotional honesty, and self-respect.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- What fawn mode is and how it shows up in relationships
- Why people-pleasing can be a nervous system response
- How saying “I’m fine” can become a protective pattern
- Why self-abandonment creates resentment and emotional exhaustion
- How fear of conflict and fear of rejection affect communication
- How to tell the truth to yourself before speaking it out loud
- How to be loving, kind, faithful, and honest without disappearing
If you have ever struggled with people-pleasing, conflict avoidance, emotional honesty, boundaries, resentment, or saying yes when you mean no, this episode will help you understand yourself with more compassion and begin listening to the truth inside of you.
You do not have to disappear to be loved. You can be kind and honest. You can be faithful and clear. You can keep connection without abandoning yourself.

Episode Website
Have you ever watched your child struggle, pull away, make choices you would not choose, or seem to stop trying — and immediately made it mean something about you as a mother?
Maybe they do not call or text as often as you wish. Maybe they are struggling with school, relationships, motivation, faith, emotional health, work, or life choices. Maybe they are not showing the effort you hoped they would.
And somewhere inside, the questions begin:
What did I do wrong?
Did I not teach them enough?
Was I too hard? Too soft?
Did I fail them somehow?
In this episode of The Courageous and Confident Christian Mom Podcast, Marci Owen speaks directly to the hidden emotional report card many mothers carry. When our children’s effort, choices, communication, and outcomes become evidence of whether we are a good mom, motherhood guilt can become heavy, exhausting, and relentless.
Marci explains why your child’s effort is not your grade. Their motivation, communication habits, spiritual journey, emotional growth, choices, and willingness to change belong to them. You can love, guide, support, teach, pray, repair, and stay connected — but you cannot carry their agency or make their life choices your report card.
This episode will help you step out of fear, over-responsibility, and self-blame so you can mother from truth, love, and self-respect.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why mothers often measure their worth through their children’s choices and effort
- How motherhood guilt can turn into fear, over-functioning, and emotional exhaustion
- Why your child’s behavior, communication, and motivation are not a reflection of your value
- How to separate facts from the painful meaning you make about yourself
- What belongs to your child and what belongs to you
- How to love without controlling, rescuing, or carrying what is not yours
- How to return to peace when your child is struggling or making choices you cannot control
If you are a mom who worries deeply about your child’s future, replays your parenting decisions, feels responsible for their happiness, or wonders whether their struggles mean you failed, this episode will offer relief, perspective, and a path back to truth.
You are responsible for the mother you choose to be. You are not responsible for controlling the person your child chooses to become.

Have you ever felt hurt, resentful, or disappointed because someone you love didn’t do something that felt obvious to you?
Maybe your adult child didn’t call.
Maybe your husband didn’t notice you needed help.
Maybe someone didn’t answer your text, remember what mattered to you, or show up the way you hoped.
In this episode of The Courageous and Confident Christian Mom Podcast, Marci Owen teaches about the silent expectations many women carry in motherhood, marriage, and family relationships. These hidden expectations can become “secret tests” that other people don’t even know they’re taking.
Using the metaphor of an owner’s manual, Marci explains how we often create invisible rulebooks for our children, spouse, friends, and even ourselves. These manuals may include beliefs like, If they love me, they should know. If they care, they should call. If I matter, they should notice.
But when expectations stay unspoken, resentment can grow.
This episode will help you understand how silent expectations, unmet needs, people-pleasing, emotional responsibility, and fear of rejection can create distance in relationships. You’ll learn how to recognize your hidden manuals, uncover the tender longing underneath resentment, and begin using your voice with love, honesty, and self-respect.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How silent expectations create resentment in motherhood and marriage
- Why loved ones may be failing tests they didn’t know they were taking
- How to recognize hidden relationship “manuals”
- Why “they should know” can keep you stuck in hurt and disappointment
- How to identify the unmet need underneath resentment
- How to communicate clearly with love and self-respect
- Why using your voice is not needy, selfish, or controlling
If you’ve ever thought, I shouldn’t have to ask, this episode will help you pause, get curious, and begin creating more honest connection in your relationships.
You do not have to keep mothering, loving, or relating through secret tests. You are allowed to want what you want, name what matters, and use your voice with compassion and truth.

Have you ever walked away from a hard conversation and thought, What is wrong with me? Why did I react like that? Why can’t I stay calm?
In this episode of The Courageous and Confident Christian Mom Podcast, Marci Owen introduces the Reactor Part in Conflict and explains why your intense reaction is not your identity. Whether you snap, shut down, get defensive, cry, over-explain, or say something you later regret, your behavior may be giving you important information about your nervous system, protective parts, and unmet emotional needs.
So many women carry shame after conflict, especially in marriage, motherhood, parenting adult children, or family relationships. They believe their reaction means they are too much, immature, unloving, broken, or failing. But what if your reaction is not proof that something is wrong with you? What if it is a signal that something inside of you felt threatened, overwhelmed, criticized, dismissed, or unseen?
Marci teaches that you are not your behavior. Your reaction matters, and repair matters, but shame is not the path to lasting change. Through the lens of the Inner Relationship Method, you’ll learn how the Reactor Part tries to protect you, why pressure builds before emotional reactions, and how to begin responding with more self-awareness, compassion, and emotional steadiness.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why conflict can trigger intense emotional reactions
- How nervous system dysregulation affects communication
- What the Reactor Part is trying to protect
- Why you are not your behavior or your reaction
- How to stop shaming yourself after conflict
- Simple ways to repair, regulate, and return to your Resourced Self
If you have ever felt guilty after snapping, shutting down, getting defensive, or reacting strongly in a relationship, this episode will help you understand yourself with more compassion and begin creating change from love instead of shame.

After attending two funerals one day apart, Marci walked away with unexpected treasures about life, love, faith, family, service, and what really matters in the end.
One funeral was for a dear friend who died at 60 after battling brain cancer. The other was for her husband’s 98-year-old aunt, a woman remembered for her love, humor, faith, and the way she made every person feel special.
In this reflective and heart-centered episode, Marci shares the powerful lessons she took from both lives — not as a way to compare, shame, or measure herself, but as an invitation to live more intentionally.
You’ll hear about the beauty of owning mistakes, repairing relationships, checking in with adult children, sharing what you love, serving quietly, laughing often, saying “I love you,” and remembering your divine identity.
This episode is a tender reminder that people are not remembered for their weight, appearance, perfection, or worldly accomplishments. They are remembered for who they were, how they loved, and the mark they made.
If you’ve ever used someone else’s goodness against yourself, this episode will help you shift from comparison to inspiration, from self-criticism to reflection, and from pressure to purpose.

Mother’s Day can bring up more than we expect. For some moms, it feels sweet and meaningful. For others, it can feel tender, disappointing, complicated, or painful long after the day is over.
In this compassionate and empowering episode, Marci Owen speaks directly to the mother who felt forgotten, unseen, unappreciated, or let down after Mother’s Day — and gently helps her come back to herself with strength.
Marci explores why Mother’s Day can feel like an emotional report card and how a missed call, lack of visit, short text, or unmet expectation can stir deeper questions about motherhood, worth, love, and whether we’ve done enough. But this episode does not leave you sitting in the ache.
Instead, Marci invites you to step into a more grounded and self-led way of mothering. Through her “Release and Return” practice, you’ll learn how to release resentment, silent expectations, emotional gripping, and the need to measure your motherhood by other people’s actions — and return to your values, your voice, your self-respect, and your strength.
This is a message for the mom who is ready to stop waiting for imperfect people to validate her worth and start mothering from strength. Marci encourages you to speak up for what you want, honor your own heart, stop abandoning yourself, and step into your role as the mother, woman, and matriarch you are becoming.
Inside this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why Mother’s Day can trigger anxiety, disappointment, sadness, guilt, resentment, or old wounds
- How to separate what happened from what you made it mean
- Why your children’s thoughtfulness, maturity, or effort is not the measure of your motherhood
- How to release what is not yours to carry and return to who you are
- How to ask for what you want without feeling selfish or needy
- How to mother from strength with love, truth, and self-respect
- How to stop waiting to be celebrated and begin honoring yourself
If Mother’s Day hurt, this episode will help you feel seen, steady, and empowered. You are still here. You are still loving. You are still learning. And you are allowed to come back to yourself.

What if nothing is wrong with you?
What if the part of you that overreacts, shuts down, spirals, people-pleases, or tries to control everything is not broken — but actually trying to protect something tender inside of you?
In this meaningful and illuminating episode, Marci Owen unveils her Inner Relationship Method™ and shares why she is no longer calling herself a Self-Love Coach, but an Inner Relationship Coach. Self-love is still at the heart of her work, but Marci explains that true self-love is not just affirmations, bubble baths, or thinking positive. It is the way you relate to what is happening inside of you.
Marci introduces the core pieces of her Inner Relationship Method™: the Wounded Child, protective parts, protective patterns, the nervous system, and the Resourced Self. You’ll learn why so many women feel stuck in cycles of self-criticism, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, people-pleasing, control, overthinking, shutting down, or trying to carry everything alone — and why those patterns are not proof that you are failing.
They are signs that something inside of you learned how to survive.
In this episode, Marci also explains why mindset work alone can only take you so far. If your nervous system is dysregulated, your protective parts and patterns get louder, and your Resourced Self becomes harder to access. That is why nervous system regulation is such an essential part of healing. Marci teaches how Calm Center, Team Hyper, and Team Hypo help you understand what is happening in your body before you react, spiral, or shut down.
You’ll also receive a simple Inner Relationship Check-In and Safety Reset to help you pause, connect with your body, notice what part or pattern may be trying to protect you, and begin meeting yourself with safety, compassion, and love.
This episode is for the woman who has spent too long asking, “What is wrong with me?” and is ready to begin asking, “What is happening inside of me?”
You are not broken.
You are beautifully complex.
And you can learn to lead your inner world with compassion, safety, and love.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why Marci is shifting from Self-Love Coach to Inner Relationship Coach
- What The Inner Relationship Method™ is and why it matters
- How the Wounded Child, protective parts, and protective patterns work together
- Why people-pleasing, controlling, escaping, overthinking, and shutting down may be protective patterns
- Why your nervous system determines who is leading inside of you
- How Calm Center, Team Hyper, and Team Hypo affect your reactions
- Why your Resourced Self can lead with calm, compassion, curiosity, clarity, confidence, and connection
- A simple Inner Relationship Check-In you can use this week
- How to begin coming home to yourself instead of judging yourself

Before the shutdown, your body knew. Before the overexplaining, your body knew. Before the snapping, spiraling, or people pleasing, your body knew.
In this episode, Marci Owen takes the conversation one step deeper into nervous system regulation, protective parts, and the body’s early warning signs. If you have ever wondered why you overreact, go blank, get defensive, shut down, people please, or feel the urge to fix and control everything, this episode will help you understand what may be happening underneath those reactions.
Marci explains how the body often detects stress and threat before the mind has words for it. Tightness in the chest, a dropped stomach, buzzing energy, flushed cheeks, urgency, numbness, defensiveness, or the need to explain yourself may all be clues that a protective part has stepped in. These reactions are not random, and they are not proof that something is wrong with you. They may be intelligent survival responses formed years ago to help protect a wounded part of you from pain, rejection, criticism, embarrassment, or loss of love.
This episode also explores the connection between the wounded child, protective patterns, and the nervous system. Marci shares how awareness creates space for your Resourced Self to come back into leadership, so you can stop reacting on autopilot and start responding with more compassion, clarity, and intention.
If you tend to:
- overexplain yourself
- people please even when you do not want to
- shut down in hard conversations
- get defensive quickly
- spiral in your thoughts
- feel confused by your own emotional reactions
This episode will help you make sense of those patterns in a loving, grounded way.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- how the body signals activation before behavior shows up
- why protective parts are not the enemy
- how old emotional wounds shape present-day reactions
- why awareness is the first step toward healing
- 4 powerful questions to help you slow down and understand what is happening inside of you

Do you ever shut down, overexplain yourself, spiral in your thoughts, snap, people-please, or suddenly feel the need to control everything?
What if those reactions are not just “your personality” or proof that something is wrong with you?
In this episode, Marci Owen explains how your body often knows a protective part has taken over long before your mind does. Through the lens of nervous system regulation, parts work, and inner child healing, Marci helps you understand why certain emotional reactions feel automatic and how those patterns may have formed years ago to keep you safe.
You’ll learn how your body sends early warning signals like tightness in your chest, a pit in your stomach, buzzing energy, heat in your face, or the sudden urge to fix, defend, explain, numb out, or disappear. These cues matter. They may be signs that a wounded part of you has been activated and a protective pattern has stepped in.
Marci also talks about the wounded child, the protective parts that form around pain, and why awareness is the first step in helping your Resourced Self come back into leadership. This episode will help you stop making your reactions mean you are flawed and start getting curious about what your body is trying to tell you.
If you’ve ever wondered:
- Why do I overexplain myself?
- Why do I people-please even when I do not want to?
- Why do I shut down in hard conversations?
- Why do I spiral or get defensive so fast?
- Why does my body react before I even know what is happening?
This episode will help you understand what may be going on underneath it all.
In this episode:
- how the body signals activation before behavior shows up
- why protective parts are not bad, but trying to help
- how nervous system triggers connect to old emotional pain
- why awareness creates space for healing
- how to begin responding from your Resourced Self instead of autopilot patterns

Have you ever had a moment where someone asked you a question, all eyes were on you, and your mind completely went blank?
Maybe it happened in a hard conversation with your spouse. Maybe someone put you on the spot in front of family. Maybe you were receiving attention, praise, or a compliment and suddenly couldn’t think of a thing to say.
In this episode, Marci unpacks why that happens through the lens of the nervous system. Sometimes stress does not look dramatic. Sometimes it looks like freeze. Shutdown. Blankness. A mind that disappears right when you need it most.
This episode was inspired by a reel of a little boy on an amusement park ride who later said, “My body deactivated.” And honestly, that may be one of the simplest and most powerful ways to describe what so many women experience under stress.
If your mind has ever gone blank and you’ve made that mean something is wrong with you, this episode will help you understand what may actually be happening underneath it. Your body may not be failing you. It may be protecting you.
In this episode, Marci talks about:
- why stress does not always look loud
- the freeze response and nervous system shutdown
- why your thinking brain can go offline under pressure
- how old fear, exposure, and overwhelm affect the body
- how to respond with compassion instead of self-judgment
This conversation will help you stop asking, “What is wrong with me?” and start asking a much kinder, more helpful question: “What about this moment felt like too much for my system?”
If this episode hit home and you are ready for support understanding your nervous system, your patterns, and what is happening underneath your reactions, Marci currently has an opening for private coaching.
And stay close. Something really powerful is coming in mid-May.
Marci will be unveiling her new 12-week Come Home to Your Heart course for the very first time, built around her Inner Relationship Method and including an all-important piece on women in midlife and the effects of that season on the nervous system. This will be for a limited number of women.

What if your inner critic is not trying to tear you down… but trying to protect you?
In this episode, Marci shares a powerful reframe for the inner critic and why that harsh voice in your head may not be proof that something is wrong with you. It may be a protective part that learned long ago that criticism could keep you safe from rejection, failure, embarrassment, or feeling like too much.
Marci walks through why self-criticism can feel normal, especially for women who grew up with pressure, comparison, high expectations, or emotional invalidation. She also explains why being hard on yourself may feel productive in the moment, but is not the path to lasting confidence, peace, or real change.
You’ll learn how to notice your inner critic with curiosity instead of shame, how to understand what it may be trying to protect you from, and how to let your Resourced Self step in with honesty, compassion, and stronger leadership.
If you have ever wondered why you are so hard on yourself, why self-talk can feel so cruel, or how to actually shift that pattern, this episode will help you feel seen and give you a gentle next step.
In this episode, we talk about:
- why the inner critic is often a protective part
- how self-criticism forms in response to pain, pressure, and fear
- why harshness can feel familiar and even productive
- the difference between criticism and true self-leadership
- how to respond with compassion instead of self-attack
- one simple question to ask when your inner critic gets loud
Reflection question from this episode:
What is my inner critic trying to protect me from right now?

Do you ever feel too sensitive, too emotional, or like you overreact to things that should not feel like such a big deal?
In this episode of The Courageous and Confident Christian Mom Podcast, Marci Owen shares how the part of you that feels deeply may not be weak at all. It may be your wounded child, a younger tender part of you carrying old emotional pain, unmet needs, and nervous system imprints from the past.
Marci explains how childhood wounds, emotional triggers, and nervous system dysregulation can affect your present-day reactions. She also talks about why shame makes healing harder, how to stop judging yourself for being emotional, and what compassionate self-leadership looks like when your wounded child gets activated.
Through a personal story and a simple 5-step Heart to Part process, Marci helps you understand what is really happening inside of you when you feel rejected, forgotten, embarrassed, or not good enough.
If you are looking for healing childhood wounds, nervous system healing, emotional healing, self-compassion, and practical tools to calm your inner world, this episode will speak directly to your heart.

What would it feel like to know that Jesus Christ sees you personally, knows your name, and loves you more than you can imagine?
In this special Easter episode, Marci sits down with Alessa Mousques, who recently portrayed Mary Magdalene in an Easter video produced by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. But this conversation is about more than acting. It’s about faith, transformation, and the deeply personal love of Jesus Christ.
Alessa shares what it was like to step into the story of Mary Magdalene and how that sacred experience affected her heart, her faith, and the way she sees herself. Together, Marci and Alessa talk about imperfection, worth, healing, and the powerful truth that Jesus does not abandon us. He is there, even in the moments we feel unseen, unsure, or not enough.
This episode is a tender Easter conversation about the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the love He has for each of us, and the hope that comes from turning to Him. If you’ve ever wondered whether the Savior really knows you personally, this episode will remind you that He does. He knows your name. He loves you. And He came for you.

Do you ever replay a conversation for hours and wonder, Did I say something wrong? Are they upset with me? In this episode, Marci unpacks the hidden pattern behind rumination and why so many women automatically make other people’s behavior mean something about their worth.
You’ll learn how nervous system dysregulation, old wounds, and protective parts can work together to keep you stuck in overthinking, second-guessing, and scanning for rejection. Marci shares personal examples, powerful insight, and a simple tool she calls “Catch the Stamp” to help you pause, get curious, and separate what actually happened from the meaning your mind created.
This episode will help you understand why rumination is not proof that something is wrong with you. It may simply be your nervous system and protective patterns trying to keep you safe. With compassion, curiosity, and a little awareness, you can begin to calm the false alarm, care for the tender parts inside of you, and respond to yourself in a more loving way.
If you’ve ever felt emotionally hooked by someone’s tone, silence, or delayed text message, this conversation will help you feel seen and give you practical steps to move forward with more peace, self-awareness, and emotional safety.
Plus, Marci shares an exciting update about her Morning Messages and how you can receive encouraging support to help set the tone for your day.

What if the way you’ve been measuring success as a mother isn’t actually the measure that brings peace?
So many of us carry quiet expectations about what a “good mom” looks like—how our kids should turn out, how close we should be, how involved we should be, and how much they should need us. And when real life doesn’t match that picture, it can leave us feeling like we somehow failed.
In this episode, I’m joined by three women from Self Love YOUniversity for a real and honest conversation about redefining success as a mother.
Together we talk about the pressure many parents feel to measure their worth by their children’s outcomes—grades, behavior, church activity, relationships, achievements, or life choices. But what happens when we step back and ask a different question?
What if success in motherhood isn’t about outcomes we can’t control?
In this conversation, we explore how fear can disguise itself as love and responsibility, why so many moms carry unnecessary guilt, and how redefining success can bring more compassion, freedom, and peace to parenting.
In this episode, we talk about:
- redefining success as a mother
- letting go of outcome-based motherhood
- releasing guilt and unrealistic expectations
- giving compassion to your past self as a mom
- how nervous system healing supports parenting
- loving your children as they are—not just as you hoped they would be
You’ll hear honest reflections from mothers in different seasons of parenting—from young kids to adult children—and the powerful shifts that happen when we stop grading ourselves and start showing up with more love, presence, and compassion.
If you’ve ever wondered if you’re doing enough as a parent, this conversation will remind you that you’re probably doing better than you think you are.
And if you’re craving more support, healing, and growth in this area, I invite you to join us inside Self Love YOUniversity, where we continue these conversations and learn tools to bring more peace, compassion, and confidence into motherhood and life.

Today’s episode is being released on a Wednesday instead of my usual Friday—because today matters.
March 4th marks 16 years since my younger sister Heather passed away from colon cancer. Every year on this day I honor her with something I call “Because I Can” Day.
It’s a simple practice that has become a powerful reminder to live with gratitude, awareness, and appreciation for the everyday things we often take for granted.
In this unfiltered and unedited episode, I invite you to join me in remembering that being here—right now—is a privilege.
Because we can.
We can go for a walk.
We can call a friend.
We can hug our spouse.
We can smile at someone in the grocery store.
We can sit in the sun and feel the warmth on our face.
When we begin noticing these small privileges, something shifts. Life feels fuller. Gratitude grows. Joy becomes easier to find.
Throughout the episode, I also share a beautiful reflection about “painting joy across the sky”—a reminder that joy isn’t dependent on perfect circumstances. It’s something we can choose, cultivate, and spread.
I’m inviting you to join me this week in doing things because you can and sharing what that looks like for you.
📸 Take a picture and tag me on Instagram @marci.owencoaching so we can inspire each other.
And if you’d like to hear the full story about my sister Heather and how “Because I Can” began, go back and listen to Episode 10: Because I Can.
👉 I’ve included the link here for easy access.
If this episode resonates with you, please share it with someone who might need the reminder today.
Because you can.

Somewhere along the way, many mothers absorbed a quiet, heavy belief:
If my child struggles… if they question their faith… if our relationship feels strained… it means I failed.
In this powerful and compassionate episode, Marci challenges that narrative and invites you to redefine what success as a mother truly means.
Drawing from personal experience, coaching conversations, church culture, and timeless quotes like “No other success can compensate for failure in the home,” Marci explores how we may have unintentionally tied our worth—and our motherhood—to outcomes we were never meant to control.
What if success isn’t about how your children turn out…
but about how you continue to show up?
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- How church culture and misinterpreted teachings can create unnecessary pressure
- Why your child’s agency does not equal your failure
- A healthier, more empowering definition of success and failure
- What “not giving up” actually looks like (and why stepping back isn’t quitting)
- How love—not control—is the true measure of faithful motherhood
- A simple nervous system regulation sequence to help you respond instead of react
Marci shares tender stories, practical tools, and a grounding reminder:
You are responsible for how you show up—not for controlling how someone else grows.
If you’re a Christian mom carrying guilt, fear, or shame about your child’s choices…
If you’ve questioned whether you “did it wrong”…
If you’re exhausted from trying to be perfect…
This episode will feel like a deep exhale.
You have not failed.
If you are still loving, still present, still trying—you are succeeding.
You are one decision away from showing up with more peace, confidence, and freedom.

What if self-love isn’t something you feel once in a while—but a relationship you actively build?
In this special Valentine’s reshare episode, Marci invites you into one of the most powerful self-love conversations she teaches: learning how to love your past, present, and future self—together.
True self-love isn’t performative or conditional. It’s solid. It’s steady. It’s the kind that says, “I’ve got you. I’m with you—no matter what.”
In this episode, you’ll explore:
- How your relationship with your past self impacts your confidence, worthiness, and emotional safety today
- Why self-love in the present moment requires conscious thinking—not recycled self-criticism
- How caring for your future self through intentional choices becomes a powerful act of love
- The difference between genuine self-compassion and toxic positivity
- Simple questions that help you become a safe, supportive place for yourself to land
This episode is a reminder that you don’t have to be perfect to be worthy—and that healing your relationship with yourself across time is sacred, life-changing work.
Whether Valentine’s Day brings up love, loneliness, reflection, or all of the above, this conversation offers a deeper invitation: to build a relationship with yourself that is steady, compassionate, and unshakable.
Grab your journal, take a breath, and press play.

This episode is a perspective-shifting reshare from my first year of podcasting in 2023—a message that continues to matter deeply.
After being sick for much of January and navigating recovery, I found myself returning to a teaching that transformed how I relate to my work, my relationships, and my inner peace. When creativity feels foggy and my body still recovering, sometimes the wisest thing to do is not to force—but to listen. And this message kept asking to be shared again.
In this episode, I revisit a powerful concept from Byron Katie’s work: the three types of business—God’s business, other people’s business, and your business. When we confuse these, we create unnecessary suffering, frustration, and separation. When we learn to stay in our own business, something profound happens—we reclaim our power, reconnect with ourselves, and experience more peace, clarity, and self-love.
We’ll explore:
- How being mentally in other people’s business creates resentment and disconnection
- Why trying to control outcomes puts us in God’s business—and increases anxiety
- What it truly means to stay in your business without becoming detached or indifferent
- How this distinction supports self-love, boundaries, emotional peace, and confidence
- Practical steps you can take to bring this concept into everyday life
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, worried about loved ones, frustrated with outcomes you can’t control, or disconnected from yourself, this episode offers a stabilizing reframe that can gently bring you back home—to your life, your power, and your peace.
As you listen, I invite you to ask yourself:
Whose business am I in right now—and what would it feel like to come back to my own?
This is how courageous and confident women live—with awareness, self-trust, and love.

What if this year wasn’t about pushing harder, proving more, or chasing another list of resolutions?
In this episode, Marci Owen invites you into a gentler, more powerful way of moving through the year: living by design, not by default. Instead of goals that create pressure, she introduces the practice of choosing one meaningful word—a word that becomes your guide, your compass, and your way back to yourself when life feels busy, overwhelming, or uncertain.
You’ll learn:
- Why a word is different from a goal—and how it supports your nervous system rather than stressing it
- What it means to live by default versus living with intention
- How to “listen” for your word instead of forcing one from your head
- Reflective questions to help you discover the quality your soul is asking for this year
- Simple ways to return to your word when you forget or feel off course
Marci shares personal stories, practical reflection prompts, and a compassionate, faith-centered perspective to help you choose a word that doesn’t demand more from you—but brings you home.
If you’re longing for clarity, self-trust, and a deeper relationship with yourself this year, this episode is your invitation to begin.
✨ Ready to live by design, not default? Press play.
And if you’re craving support as you walk this path, Marci also invites you to explore Self Love YOUniversity, where growth happens through her powerful Inner Relationship Method, nervous system support, coaching, doodling activities and community.

In the quiet space between Christmas and New Year’s, there’s often a subtle pressure to reinvent yourself, set new goals, or start over. But what if that’s not what you actually need?
In this episode, I offer two gentle yet powerful clarifying questions designed to help you carry yourself into the new year with intention, compassion, and clarity—without fixing, forcing, or pushing. This is not a goals episode. It’s an invitation to pause, reflect, and honor who you’ve become.
We explore:
- What you’re ready to leave behind because it no longer serves you
- Who you became through everything you experienced this past year
- How to recognize growth without comparison or self-criticism
- Why nervous system awareness matters when reflecting and choosing what to carry forward
- The difference between starting over and moving forward by design
Through storytelling, reflection, and a simple visualization, you’ll be guided to set down what’s heavy and outdated—and step into the new year seasoned, grounded, and more connected to yourself.
You are not starting from scratch.
You’re starting from experience, wisdom, and growth.
If you’re craving a way of entering the new year that feels supportive instead of demanding, this episode is for you.
✨ Mentioned in this episode: Self Love YOUniversity — a monthly space to practice nervous system regulation, soften old stories, and come home to who you already are. Details below.

As Christmas draws near, do you feel a swirl of emotions—joy, pressure, exhaustion, tenderness, gratitude, maybe even a sense that something’s missing?
In this episode, Marci offers you a simple pause—a warm exhale for your nervous system. This episode is part grounding, part fun, and part emotional reset, designed to help you reconnect with the light, wonder, and joy that are still available to you this season.
You’ll be introduced to your Holiday Joy Prescription—simple, doable practices that help your nervous system soften so you can actually feel the magic of Christmas again. From a Christmas-themed glimmer walk and sensory moments to adult-friendly ideas for play, laughter, creativity, and rest, Marci reminds you that joy isn’t frivolous—it’s regulating, healing, and holy.
You’ll also learn:
- Why we often lose sight of joy during busy, meaningful seasons
- How joy functions as a regulated state, not just an emotion
- How small “glimmers” of joy signal safety to your nervous system
- Gentle, practical ways to invite light, presence, and wonder back into your days
This episode is a loving invitation to slow down, notice what’s right in front of you, and remember that you are worthy of joy. Your presence matters. The light within you is meant to shine.
Perfect to listen to while walking, driving, or curled up with something warm—this is your reminder that the joy of Christmas isn’t gone. It’s just waiting for you to come home to it.

The holidays have a way of bringing everything to the surface — the beauty and the ache, the joy and the overwhelm, the connection and the loneliness. Sometimes all in the same hour.
If this season feels complicated, layered, or tender… this episode is for you.
In this deeply grounding conversation, Marci unpacks the emotional complexity of the holidays through the lenses of nervous system regulation, parts work, and compassionate self-leadership.
Drawing from a powerful Thanksgiving email she wrote to her community, Marci helps you understand why this season can trigger old stories, awaken grief, amplify pressure, or stir up loneliness — and why nothing has gone wrong. You’ll hear personal stories from Marci's life, relatable examples from women she’s coached, and simple, nourishing practices that help you move through the holidays with steadiness and self-support.
Inside this episode, you'll learn:
• Why holidays often activate old nervous system patterns
• How to support yourself if you feel overwhelmed, tender, or lonely
• Gentle reframes for grief and missing someone you love
• What to do when someone still sees you as an old version of you
• How to respond when you’re triggered (or you trigger someone else)
• How to shift perfection pressure and holiday expectations
• How to make “alone time” meaningful, soothing, or even sacred
• Why tending to your younger parts brings immediate emotional relief
Marci also shares journaling prompts, grounding questions, doodle-journaling techniques, and body-based practices to help you regulate before you relate — so you can show up for the holidays with more peace, compassion, and confidence.
Whether your holiday is full or quiet, joyful or heavy, complicated or calm… this episode will feel like a breath you’ve been needing.
If you want deeper support this season, Marci invites you into Self Love YOUniversity and the limited-time Holiday Glow Up Bundle, which includes November and December’s transformative calls and a calming holiday meditation. Details inside the episode.
You are worthy. You are loved. You get to be human this holiday season — beautifully, messily, fully human — and still guided by your Resourced Self.

What if the most meaningful thing you prepare for this holiday season isn’t your home… but your heart?
If you regularly feel overwhelmed at this time of year, it’s not because your to-do list is too long — it’s because your nervous system is carrying too much.
In this gentle and grounding episode of The Courageous and Confident Christian Mom, Marci Owen invites you into a softer way of moving through November and December. Instead of rushing, bracing, and trying to hold everything together, you’ll learn how to regulate your nervous system, reconnect with your heart, and enter the holidays as your truest, calmest, most connected self.
Marci breaks down:
✨ Why your nervous system interprets holiday pressure as danger
✨ How internal parts (wounded child, preventive teen, reactive teen) get activated — and how to soothe them
✨ Simple ways to create inner stillness, even in busy seasons
✨ The “Four D’s” that help you delete, delay, delegate, and delight in what matters
✨ How to shift from survival mode into intentional, grounded presence
You’ll walk away with reflective questions to help you prepare your heart, not just your home, and practical tools you can use immediately — in conversations, gatherings, or quiet moments alone.
Because the real gift you bring to any room is your presence.
Marci also shares a special invitation into Self Love YOUniversity and the limited-time Holiday Glow Up Bundle, designed to help you begin the new year grounded, supported, and emotionally steady.
Slow down. Breathe. Connect with yourself.
This is how courageous and confident women enter the season — on purpose, by design, with a steady and lovingly prepared heart.

Holiday gatherings can bring out the very worst version of us — the anxious one, the shrinking one, the people-pleasing one — but what if that isn’t the real you at all?
In this first episode of Marci's holiday-mini-series, Marci teaches you the life-changing tool that can give you confidence to show up in every holiday moment: Regulate Before You Relate.
If you’ve ever walked into a family dinner, work party, or church gathering feeling tense, braced, overthinking, or wishing you could just disappear… this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air. Marci breaks down the 5 R’s of Regulate Before You Relate — Recognize, Reveal, Release, Reassure, and Relate — a simple, under-one-minute practice that helps you stay grounded, calm, and connected to your resourced, authentic self rather than your protective patterns.
You’ll learn:
- Why your nervous system reacts in social or family settings
- How dysregulation shows up as bracing, shrinking, pressure-to-perform, or overthinking
- The exact words to say to yourself to shift out of survival mode
- How to walk into ANY holiday moment with steadiness and quiet confidence
- How to use this tool with family, friends, kids, spouses, or even tricky conversations
- Why regulation is the secret to showing up as who you really are
Marci also shares a personal story about navigating her own activation in social situations — and the difference it made when she regulated first.
This episode is not just “holiday advice.”
It’s a life skill.
One that will change how you show up in rooms, relationships, and moments that matter.
PLUS — Marci introduces her Holiday Glow Up Bundle, a special, limited-time invitation to join Self-Love YOUniversity and step into 2026 with clarity, steadiness, support, and belonging.
If you want to feel more grounded, more present, and more like yourself this holiday season… this episode is for you.
It’s your time to shine, my dear.

Have you ever genuinely wanted to grow… but the moment you try, everything inside of you shuts down? The overwhelm, the spinning thoughts, the urge to hide, the “something must be wrong with me” feeling?
You’re not alone. And more importantly—you’re not broken.
In this powerful episode, Marci Owen, Advanced Certified Life Coach, Nervous System Resilience Trained, and StoryCoach, gently unpacks what’s really happening beneath the surface when “doing the work” feels impossible.
You'll learn:
✨ Why your overwhelmed, shut-down moments are not resistance—they’re protection
✨ How your nervous system and protective parts (IFS-style) lovingly try to keep you safe
✨ Why comparison can feel so painful—and what it actually reveals about your desires
✨ How to recognize states of the nervous system like functional freeze and the truth behind the “I’m so behind” story
✨ The first tiny steps you can take when you have no energy for anything
✨ Why awareness alone counts as doing the work (more than you think)
✨ A simple, calming somatic practice you can do in 60 seconds
✨ How to begin validating and nurturing your wounded inner parts with compassion
✨ Why growth never requires big leaps—just 1% gentler, safer steps
If you’ve been judging yourself… believing you “should be further ahead”… or feeling weighed down by shame or comparison, this episode will feel like a deep exhale.
Marci helps you reconnect with compassion, calm, and truth:
You are not lazy. You are not unmotivated. You are not failing.
Your nervous system is trying to protect you. And there is a way forward—one loving step at a time.
If this episode strengthens your heart, please share it with someone who needs the reminder that they’re not alone. And if you’re ready for deeper support and community, come join us inside Self Love YOUniversity, where we are practicing this work together all month long.
You are courageous. You are worthy. And you are already on your path. ♡

When new babies arrive, it’s supposed to be joyful… right?
So why did becoming a grandma again unexpectedly stir up old wounds?
In this deeply personal episode, Marci invites you into her real-life journey of navigating tender family moments, changing roles, and learning how to love from a grounded, peaceful place—even when her heart longed to be closer.
You’ll hear:
✨ How past stories were unexpectedly activated when her son welcomed newborn twins
✨ The parts of us (wounded, protective, reactive) that rise up during emotional moments
✨ Why nervous system awareness is essential when you feel left out, unseen, or unsure
✨ The power of choosing your Resourced Adult Self rather than reacting from pain
✨ A guided somatic practice to help you calm your body and reconnect with your heart
✨ Reflective questions to help you explore your own stories around belonging & boundaries
If you’ve ever struggled to know your place in family relationships…
If you’ve ever felt on the “outside looking in”…
If you’ve ever wanted to show up with love but didn’t know what that should look like…
This episode will help you feel seen, validated, and supported.
You’ll walk away with tools to:
✔ Recognize when old stories are being triggered
✔ Offer compassion to your inner parts
✔ Regulate your nervous system
✔ Choose grounded, loving action rather than reactive patterns
Because healing isn’t about never getting activated again—
It’s about noticing what’s happening inside, offering yourself compassion, and choosing who you want to be.
You are allowed to feel deeply. You are allowed to honor boundaries.
And you’re not alone on this journey. 💛

Do you ever look at the never-ending laundry, the dishes stacked again, or your overflowing to-do list and wonder… Does any of this even matter?
If so, you’re not alone — but what if these ordinary moments are actually sacred opportunities?
In this episode, Marci Owen invites you to shift the way you see the everyday tasks that fill your life. Instead of viewing them as thankless or meaningless, she shows how these moments can be transformed into mindful acts of love, connection, and self-affirmation.
You’ll learn how to:
✨ Reclaim joy in simple daily routines
✨ Stop comparing your life to others — especially social media “highlight reels”
✨ Impress upon your own heart your God-given worth
✨ Cultivate presence, gratitude, and purpose in the middle of the messy, normal day
Marci shares personal stories, spiritual insight, and a powerful message inspired by Mary Morrissey — reminding us that while we may not be able to make every day extraordinary, we can create extraordinary moments.
You’ll leave this episode feeling seen, encouraged, and empowered to recognize the privilege of living the life you once hoped and prayed for — one folded towel, wiped counter, and carpool line at a time.
Because you are not mundane.
You are magnificent.
And your everyday fingerprints of love matter more than you know.

Do you ever notice yourself swinging from one extreme to another? One day you’re overdoing, overthinking, or overgiving—and the next you’re completely shut down. That tug-of-war between too much and not enough can leave your nervous system exhausted and your spirit unsettled.
In this episode of The Courageous and Confident Christian Mom Podcast, host Marci Owen, Advanced Certified Life Coach and Story Coach, reveals how the ancient (and often misunderstood) virtue of temperance can help you find your calm center. Far from being about restriction or control, temperance is the art of emotional balance—learning to live from your resourced, grounded self rather than reacting from fear or exhaustion.
You’ll learn:
🌿 How temperance strengthens every part of who you are—mind, body, spirit, and relationships.
💫 The connection between temperance and nervous system regulation.
⚖️ How to identify when you’ve swung to the extremes of excess or deficiency, and how to return to your balanced center.
❤️ Why living with temperance protects your peace and helps you respond with love instead of reactivity.
If you’ve been stretched too thin, stuck in survival mode, or longing for more steadiness in your life, this episode will remind you that you are capable of balance—and worthy of peace.
🎧 Tune in now to rediscover your middle ground, embrace moderation, and lead your life with calm confidence and grace.

Have you ever found yourself reacting to something small with big emotions—feeling left out, unseen, or not good enough—and wondered, “Why does this hit me so hard?”
In this episode of The Courageous and Confident Christian Mom, Marci Owen shares powerful lessons about emotional healing inspired by the TV show Survivor. Through one contestant’s story, Marci unpacks how our past experiences often live inside us as wounded “parts” that get triggered in the present—and how understanding these inner parts can bring compassion, healing, and peace.
You’ll also hear a touching reminder from another contestant’s experience about the importance of valuing your wellbeing over constant striving, and how self-care isn’t selfish—it’s sacred.
Tune in to discover:
- Why emotional reactions can feel so disproportionate to the moment
- How your nervous system and “parts” work together when you feel triggered
- The difference between your wounded self, protective self, and resourced self
- How to begin integrating these parts so you can feel whole, calm, and confident
Marci weaves together stories, coaching wisdom, and heartfelt reflections to remind you that you are not broken—you are simply healing.
✨ Your nervous system can be stuck in the pain, but your soul remembers your wholeness.

Did you know that 65% of divorces cite communication problems as a major factor? But it’s not always the explosive arguments that break a marriage—it’s often the quiet misunderstandings, unspoken thoughts, and missed moments to connect.
In the final part of this Marriage Help Series, Marci introduces a game-changing relationship tool: Three Lanes to Healthier Conversations. These are the three “lanes” every couple needs to recognize and navigate—Conversational, Sacred Ground, and Sweaty Conversations. Understanding these lanes helps prevent conflict, build emotional safety, and bring more connection into your marriage.
In this episode, Marci shares:
- What each of the three conversations looks like—and why they matter
- Word-for-word prompts you can start using today
- The #1 mistake that derails couples during communication
- How to soften hard conversations and stay in partnership, not opposition
- Her personal story of shifting a protective pattern in her marriage—and the connection it created
- A behind-the-scenes look at the practical guide she created
Whether you're craving more intimacy, struggling to talk without triggering conflict, or just feel like roommates lately, this episode will give you language, tools, and mindset shifts that can change your rhythm—and heal what’s been missing.
Every relationship faces cracks. That doesn’t mean it’s broken—it means there’s space for repair. And sometimes, all it takes is knowing which lane you’re in and how to begin.
🎧 Listen now and share this with a friend who’s struggling in their marriage.

In this powerful second installment of a three-part series on marriage, Marci Owen tackles one of the most common — and often invisible — sources of tension in relationships: unspoken expectations, or what she calls manuals.
Do you ever think, “He should know I need help” or “He should listen better”? You're not alone. These thoughts might feel justified, but they could actually be creating silent cracks in your marriage. In this episode, Marci breaks down how these internal rulebooks, combined with the natural communication differences between men and women, can lead to resentment, frustration, and disconnection.
You'll learn:
- What a “manual” is — and why it’s silently sabotaging your relationship
- Why unmet expectations hurt (hint: it’s not what you think)
- The biological and communication differences between men and women that often go misunderstood
- How to shift from frustration to connection by softening your approach
- Why taking responsibility for your emotional well-being is the key to a thriving marriage
Marci also takes a moment to reflect on a recent local tragedy, offering heartfelt thoughts on grief, community, and choosing love over fear.
This episode is a blend of honest truth, emotional insight, and practical tools to help you build deeper connection and create the kind of marriage you actually want.
🔗 Plus, Marci invites you to join Self-Love University — her powerful program for Christian women who are ready to drop the old stories, heal their nervous systems, and live from confidence, clarity, and compassion.
Don’t forget to tune in next week for the final part of this series, where Marci will unveil her brand-new guide on the three types of conversations that will build connection and intimacy in your marriage.

Have you ever felt like you and your spouse are no longer rowing in the same boat—like you’re drifting through life side by side but not truly together? In this first episode of my 3-part series, I share a powerful boat analogy that will help you see your marriage (or any close relationship) with fresh eyes.
We’ll explore why cracks begin to show up in even the most committed relationships, how subconscious “lenses” from our past shape the way we see our partner, and why awareness is the very first step to healing. You’ll learn how to recognize the filters you bring into your marriage and how shifting them can create more connection, teamwork, and intimacy.
Whether you feel like you’re in the same boat or rowing solo on a life raft, this episode will give you encouragement, clarity, and awareness to start paddling together again.
✨ Don’t miss Part 2 next week, where we’ll go deeper into “manuals” we unknowingly create for our spouses and how they impact connection.
In this 3-part series, we dive deep into the real challenges that can quietly erode even the strongest marriages—and how to rebuild connection with faith, courage, and love. Using the powerful “boat” analogy, Marci Owen, Advanced Certified Life Coach and host of the Courageous and Confident Christian Mom podcast, helps you see your marriage in a fresh light.
Across these episodes, you’ll discover:
- Why cracks show up in marriage and how subconscious “lenses” from the past shape your connection.
- The invisible “manuals” we create for our spouses and how they impact intimacy.
- Three types of conversations that can either deepen or damage closeness.
Whether you feel like you and your spouse are rowing together—or drifting apart—this series will guide you back to teamwork, trust, and love.

What if your hardest moments are actually shaping you into who you're meant to be?
In this episode, I’m sharing 10 powerful quotes that have challenged me, grounded me, and inspired me lately—and I have a feeling they’ll do the same for you. These quotes aren’t just words… they’re invitations to rise, to reflect, and to live with more courage, compassion, and confidence.
We’ll talk about:
✨ Seeing life’s challenges as your teachers
✨ How to use your memories in an empowered way
✨ The truth about fear (and how to do the thing anyway)
✨ Why most of us fly too close to the ground—and how to finally give yourself permission to soar
✨ What it means to live on the “green, growing edge” of your becoming
Whether you’re folding laundry, driving, or sneaking in some quiet time—this one’s for you.
You don’t have to apply all 10 at once—just let one or two land, whisper to your heart, and nudge you forward.

Have you ever poured your heart into something, counted down the days, and then watched it all unravel at the very last minute? In this episode, I share a deeply personal story about missing my grandson’s baptism—a trip I had planned and dreamed about for months—and the flood of emotions that followed when it all fell apart at the airport gate.
But this episode isn’t just about what happened. It’s about what it brought up… and how I navigated the grief, sadness, and disappointment in real time. We’ll talk about what it means to be with your emotions instead of stuffing them down. You’ll learn practical tools for emotional resilience, nervous system regulation, and self-compassion—even in the middle of heartbreak.
If you’ve ever been afraid to feel something deeply because you thought it might break you… this one’s for you. Let’s explore what it really means to honor your emotions, advocate for your needs, and love yourself through the hardest moments.
Because this? This is what courageous and confident women do.

What if the peace you’re searching for isn’t found in fixing yourself… but in remembering who you truly are?
In this episode, Marci shares a beautiful conversation that started when a client sent her a short clip from Kung Fu Panda 2. (Yes, really—and yes, it’s powerful.) The line that stopped both of them was:
"Your story might not have a happy beginning, but that does not make you who you are. It is the rest of the story, who you choose to be. So who are you?”
We unpack what it really means to separate your identity from your past, how your worth has never been in question, and why discovering your divine nature is the gateway to inner peace.
You’ll hear truths that heal, questions that invite reflection, and a personal practice to help you reconnect with the part of you that’s always been enough.
✨ This episode pairs perfectly with our current theme in Self Love YOUniversity: Who Are You Really?

What if your biggest regret at the end of your life isn't what you did—but who you never became?
In this powerful and soul-stirring episode, Marci Owen weaves together the inspired words of Elder Dale G. Renlund, the wisdom of a Hasidic rabbi, insights from You² by Price Pritchett, and her own lived experience as a coach and woman of faith. This is more than an episode—it’s an invitation to stop hiding, unwrap your God-given gifts, and step boldly into who you were always meant to be.
You’ll explore:
- Why comparison is the thief of your calling
- How doubt and "mental junk" keep us trapped in old boxes
- Why discomfort is not a danger sign, but a doorway
- The sacred difference between playing it safe and playing your part in God’s plan
This is for the woman who feels the nudge to grow but is scared. For the woman who wonders if she has more in her. And for the woman who’s ready to stop shrinking and start shining.
You weren’t meant to be Moses or Solomon.
You were meant to be you.
And the world desperately needs her.

Have you ever been told to just ignore your past and move on—and something about it didn’t sit right? In this powerful episode, Marci shares a recent moment when advice from a well-known coach clashed with everything she knows to be true about healing.
You'll discover why ignoring your past stories doesn't bring freedom—and what actually does. Marci walks you through the transformational power of acknowledging your story with compassion, validating your younger self, and creating emotional safety through nervous system regulation.
She shares a deeply moving metaphor of rewriting your life story and introduces a unique journaling practice (hello, doodle journaling!) that helps you connect with wounded parts of yourself and begin the healing process with love.
If you've ever felt stuck, invalidated, or unsure how to move forward, this episode is a beautiful reminder that your story matters because you matter. This is where magical illumination begins—the kind that doesn’t follow logic, but transforms your heart and sets you free.
Personal growth doesn’t always feel good, but it is ALWAYS worth the prize!

Imagine being seven years old, riding the bus home for the first time, and suddenly realizing—you don’t know where to get off. Panic sets in, and when an adult in charge reacts harshly, fear and confusion take over. Am I in trouble? Did I do something wrong? Am I being kidnapped?
In this episode, I share a powerful story about my grandson’s terrifying first bus ride and how the way we show up for others in their hardest moments can make the difference between trauma and healing. You’ll learn why trauma isn’t just about the event itself but about our experience of the event—and how nervous system regulation, validation, and emotional safety can help us (and our loved ones) move through fear instead of getting stuck in it.
If you’ve ever wondered how to build resilience, regulate your emotions, and support others through tough experiences, this episode is for you.
So grab your dirty soda (or water) and let's dive in shall we?

You are one of a kind. There has never been—nor will there ever be—another you.
But how often do we forget this? How often do we compare ourselves to others, believing we need to be more polished, more put together, or more like them?
In this episode, I share a powerful quote that completely changed the way I see myself—and the way I hope you’ll see yourself. We’ll break it down together, and I’ll open up about a personal moment when I felt like I had to "fix" how I showed up in the world. But when I witnessed someone else fully embracing their own “messy imperfection,” it gave me permission to do the same.
If you’ve ever struggled with self-comparison or felt like you weren’t enough, this episode is for you.

In today’s heartfelt, unedited episode, Marci shares a powerful quote and reflections from a talk that “just happened” to cross her path this morning—on March 4th, a day she calls Because I Can day.
March 4th holds deep meaning for Marci. It’s the day her sister passed away from cancer, a day that could be filled with sorrow. But instead, Marci chooses to honor it with inspiration, purpose, and action—BECAUSE SHE CAN.
This morning’s experience felt like more than coincidence—it was a divine reminder, a touch from God at the start of her day. And now, she wants to share that inspiration with you.
Marci invites you to join her in celebrating Because I Can day and week. Post a picture of yourself on social media, tag her at @marci.owencoaching, and use the hashtag #BecauseICan to spread the message.
I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief candle to me. It is a splendid torch, which I have the privilege to hold for a moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as I can. – George Bernard Shaw
BECAUSE I CAN ❤️

Do you ever catch yourself saying things to yourself that you’d never say to a friend? Thoughts like, I should have done better, I’m such a failure, or What’s wrong with me?—that’s your inner critic speaking. Most of us try to silence or fight this voice, but what if battling it only makes it stronger?
In this episode of The Courageous and Confident Christian Mom podcast, I’m sharing a fresh perspective on the inner critic—why it exists, how it's actually trying to protect you, and why self-compassion is the key to softening its voice.
You’ll learn:
✨ The hidden reason your inner critic keeps showing up
✨ The four most common ways it speaks to you (perfectionist, comparer, taskmaster, and body critic)
✨ How to shift your relationship with it through curiosity, gratitude, and self-compassion
✨ A five-step process to transform self-criticism into self-support
If you’ve ever felt stuck in cycles of self-doubt and shame, this episode will help you reframe your inner dialogue and reclaim your power.
You are not your inner critic—it's just one small voice among many. It’s time to amplify the voice of self-love and embrace the truth that you are enough, exactly as you are. 💛
Share this episode with a friend who needs to hear it. 💕

Have you ever found yourself reacting in ways you don’t like or getting stuck in the same patterns, no matter how hard you try to change? In this episode of The Courageous and Confident Christian Mom podcast, I’m breaking down The Five Protective Patterns—the hidden forces shaping how we show up in life. You’ll learn:
- Why these patterns form in the first place
- How they are designed to protect you (even when they seem to be holding you back)
- How to shift them with compassion and curiosity
The truth is, you are not your patterns. These are just survival strategies your nervous system adopted to keep you safe. But when you bring awareness to them, you can loosen their grip and step into more freedom, love, and confidence.
If you're ready to break free from the patterns that have been running your life, tune in now. And if you want to go even deeper, consider joining The Self Love Lab and Come Home to Your Heart, where we do the powerful work of healing and rewiring these patterns for good.
🎧 Listen now and start shifting your patterns with self-compassion!

In this powerful Valentine's Day episode of The Courageous and Confident Christian Mom podcast, we're shifting the focus from external love to the most important relationship of all: the one with yourself. Join me as we break up with your inner critic—the voice that tells you you're not enough—and replace it with the compassionate, loving self-talk you deserve.
Together, we'll:
💔 Write a breakup letter to self-criticism.
💞 Meet and nurture the part of you that feels unworthy.
📝 Follow guided prompts to connect with your inner child and offer her the love she’s been waiting for.
Through a calming, heart-centered meditation, you'll release the pressure of perfection and step into a space of self-love, kindness, and confidence. Let this be the day you say goodbye to the critical voice and hello to the truth: you are already enough.
Grab your journal, find a quiet space, and let’s do this together. 💗
P.S. If this episode resonated with you, share it with a friend who could use some self-love today. And if you're ready for more transformative work like this, I invite you to schedule a Clarity Call with me💫

We’ve all been there—looking at life and thinking, This isn’t fair! Whether it’s personal struggles, unexpected setbacks, or watching others seemingly glide through life while you face challenge after challenge, it’s easy to feel stuck in frustration and self-pity. But staying in that mindset only adds to your suffering.
In this episode of The Courageous and Confident Christian Mom, I’m sharing three powerful ways to navigate life’s unfair moments so they don’t keep you stuck. You’ll learn:
✨ Why resisting reality only makes things harder—and how to stop “kicking against the pricks.”
✨ How to allow yourself to feel what’s alive for you in the present moment—without getting trapped in negativity.
✨ The difference between clean pain (which helps you heal) and dirty pain (which keeps you stuck in victim mode).
Life might not always be fair, but you do have the power to decide how you respond to it. Tune in to discover practical ways to shift your perspective, process your emotions, and move forward with strength, resilience, and confidence.

In this special Thanksgiving episode of The Courageous and Confident Christian Mom podcast, Marci Owen explores a transformative concept that may feel unfamiliar but has the power to deepen your relationship with yourself: self-gratitude.
Marci invites you to celebrate and thank yourself for all you've been, all you are, and all you will become. Through a powerful three-part exercise, she guides you to reflect on gratitude for your past, present, and future self. Along the way, Marci discusses the discomfort that often accompanies self-gratitude and how leaning into this "productive discomfort" can foster healing, growth, and self-love.
Drawing inspiration from Snoop Dogg's iconic acceptance speech, Marci encourages you to be your own biggest cheerleader and create a tradition of self-gratitude this Thanksgiving. Whether you're journaling about your past triumphs, celebrating your present qualities, or envisioning your future self, this episode will inspire you to honor the incredible journey you’ve been on.
Plus, Marci shares an emotional testimonial from her Self Love Lab program, showcasing how this work is changing lives by helping women reconnect with their dreams and sense of worth. She also provides a sneak peek at the upcoming Black Friday event for the Self Love Lab, offering a perfect opportunity to give yourself (or someone you love) the gift of self-love this holiday season.
Join Marci in starting a new tradition of self-gratitude, and let this Thanksgiving be a turning point in how you see and celebrate yourself.

Learn how to step away from the stress, overwhelm, and busyness to fully embrace the joy and peace found in simple, everyday moments. Marci introduces the concept of "glimmers"—those small bursts of joy or peace that arise from appreciating life's simple pleasures—and how they can enhance your mental health and nervous system resilience.
Discover how to create "gratitude anchors" by pausing to savor these glimmers, letting them land deeply in your heart, and cultivating a sense of grounding and peace. With practical examples, such as enjoying a sunset, feeling the warmth of a loved one’s smile, or savoring the sound of rain, Marci guides you to reclaim the present moment as a source of holiday harmony.

In this episode, Marci kicks off the Holiday Harmony series by exploring what it means to create a truly meaningful holiday season. While the holidays are often filled with mixed emotions—joy, stress, or even grief—she’ll discuss how to focus on what genuinely matters, letting go of perfection and the pressure to do it all.
Together, Marci redefines a meaningful holiday season, not as a time to do more, but as a time to feel more connected, present, and aligned with our values. She'll talk about releasing the “shoulds” and embracing what brings real joy and fulfillment. Whether it’s honoring moments of grief, savoring simple joys, or setting loving boundaries, this episode will guide you to find balance and clarity.
You’ll also learn how to:
- Prioritize what matters most by asking yourself, What do I want to feel this holiday season?
- Create space for both grief and joy to coexist.
- Embrace the power of small, simple moments over packed schedules.
The episode includes a reflective exercise to help you discover what truly fulfills you during the holidays. By reflecting on past experiences, letting go of expectations, and identifying core values, you’ll craft a season that feels intentional and meaningful.
To wrap up, she’ll introduce easy, heartfelt traditions that align with your values—like a gratitude ritual, quiet reflection, or a cozy book-and-blanket hour. These simple practices will help you stay grounded, present, and joyful throughout the season.
**Tune in to begin your journey to a holiday season that fills your heart, not just your schedule.

In this episode of The Courageous and Confident Christian Mom podcast, host Marci Owen dives deep into the powerful distinction between being a victim vs being victimized. Drawing from personal experiences and the insights of her coach, Marci explores how shifting your mindset can transform painful experiences into stepping stones for growth and resilience.
Marci explains that while being victimized involves real hurt from events beyond our control, staying in that mindset keeps us disempowered. In contrast, accepting that an event happened, and embracing our emotions without judgment, allows us to move through the pain and start healing. By focusing on loving the parts of us that are hurting, we begin to unlock our inner strength and wisdom.
This episode touches on the importance of finding the gifts in life’s hardest moments, sharing personal stories—including the profound lessons Marci’s grandson learned from the tragic loss of their family dog. Through these experiences, Marci shows how turning to God, embracing what is, and harnessing our power to choose, can help us rise above victimhood and live more courageously and confidently.
Tune in for a heartfelt, empowering conversation that will inspire you to transform pain into purpose and reclaim your power to choose who you become through life's challenges.

In this episode, we dive into the concept of confidence with a twist: you already have it, but which kind are you practicing? Marci introduces the idea of the Confidence Continuum, with 'I Can' on one end and 'I Can't' on the other. We explore how both are forms of confidence—one empowering you to take action toward your goals, and the other keeping you stuck in fear and limitations.
Marci will show you how to move from the 'I Can't' side of the continuum to the 'I Can' side by building small wins, challenging limiting beliefs, and embracing courage even when you're scared. Whether you're trying something new or pushing past self-doubt, you'll learn how to shift into a life where confidence becomes your driving force.
Join Marci as she shares practical steps to strengthen your belief in your ability to succeed and overcome the fears that hold you back. The question is: which kind of confidence are you building?
Tune in for empowering insights and actionable steps to help you step out of fear and into your full potential.

In this episode, we delve into the transformative journey of learning to pause and reflect rather than rushing to change our negative thoughts. It’s easy to feel impatient when we discover that we can shift our mindset, but true growth happens in the pause.
Join me as we explore why awareness and acceptance are crucial steps in this process. I’ll share how trying to force change too quickly can lead to frustration and why embracing the present moment, even when it's uncomfortable, can lead to profound insights and lasting change.
Through personal stories and real-life examples, including a powerful coaching experience with a client dealing with family dynamics, we'll discuss the importance of accepting what we cannot control and how this acceptance opens the door to new perspectives and emotional healing.
Tune in to learn how to navigate your feelings with curiosity, the value of taking care of yourself during this process, and why expanding your emotional “ball” can lead to unexpected breakthroughs.
Remember, it’s not about rushing to feel better but about deeply understanding and accepting where you are right now. For more insights and practical tips, don’t forget to check out the show notes and sign up for our upcoming Unleash Your Confidence Workshop.
Thank you for listening to the Courageous and Confident Christian Mom podcast. Let’s embrace the pause together and discover the power of true acceptance.

Today, we are diving deep into the topic of trust with my dear friend and fellow coach, Jolene Winn.
In this episode, Jolene and I break down the common lies about trust that many of us believe. Jolene shares her personal journey of navigating trust in her marriage after her husband's struggle with pornography addiction and how she discovered the power of life coaching tools to rebuild trust and empowerment.
We discuss:
- The lie that you must trust or that trust is mandatory in any relationship.
- The misconception that trust has to be all or nothing.
- How trust is a personal decision rather than something that is earned by others.
- The harmful impact of holding trust hostage and how it creates barriers in relationships.
- The false belief that trusting without evidence makes you naive.
- How to trust yourself and why it's crucial for your confidence and well-being.
Whether you’re dealing with trust issues in your marriage, friendships, or even struggling with self-trust, this episode will provide you with insights and practical steps to cultivate a healthier perspective on trust.
By the end of this episode, you’ll learn how to increase your trust in yourself and approach your relationships with more confidence and clarity. Jolene’s wisdom and experiences offer a fresh and empowering take on trust that can transform your approach to personal and relational challenges.

I'm so excited to share my conversation fellow coach Susie Funk. Susie specializes in helping mothers navigate relationships with their adult children.
When we become mothers of adult children our role needs to changes to more of an equal ground yet we may find ourselves still trying to parent our adult child. Susie and I have a great conversation about this and how to increase connection with your adult child.
We also talk about confidence in our role as mother and even though raising our children part is over, we still have much to offer. The important thing is what space we are in when we do so. Susie talks about how to let go of trying to control our child and their actions and how their choices have nothing to do with what kind of mother we are.
One of my most powerful takeaways is giving myself permission to be a confident leader in my role as matriarch and to allow myself to be me even if my kids don't acknowledge what I said or did.
When mother's lead confidently they leave a legacy.
This episode is longer than usual for a good reason, the conversation was SO good! Tune in and get ready for some powerful shifts to happen for you.

Welcome back to another episode of the podcast! Today, we delve into a topic that many of us grapple with: our relationship with our bodies. We often feel like we have to love every part of our bodies, but guess what? It's okay if we don't. Instead of forcing love or succumbing to hate, let's learn to accept our bodies for what they are, including the parts we struggle with.
In this episode, we discuss the movie "I Feel Pretty" starring Amy Schumer, which beautifully illustrates how belief in one's own beauty can transform confidence and self-perception. Drawing from this, we explore how societal expectations and personal experiences shape our body image.
We'll talk about the common pitfalls like the comparison trap, where we unfairly measure our bodies against others or our past selves, and how this can affect our self-worth. Additionally, we address the concept of the body's set point, understanding that our bodies have a natural weight they feel comfortable at, and how pushing against this can be emotionally and physically draining.
Join me as I share insights from my personal journey, including exercises for fostering acceptance and grace towards our bodies. Learn about the impact of societal conditioning and how to shift from a scarcity mindset—focusing on what our bodies lack—to an abundant mindset, appreciating what our bodies do for us.
Don't miss out on the upcoming free workshop on June 27th, (click HERE to register) where we'll dive deeper into these topics and engage in interactive exercises to help you build a healthier relationship with your body. Whether you're dealing with body image issues or looking to support someone who is, this episode offers valuable perspectives and practical advice.
Tune in and take the first step towards body acceptance and self-love. Remember, our bodies are not our worth; they are simply the vehicles that carry us through life. Let's learn to treat them AND ourselves with the respect and care we deserve.

She will take you on a journey filled with both frustration and productivity, stemming from the challenges of navigating unfamiliar tech terrain.

Through personal anecdotes and coaching insights, Marci points out moments of dysregulation and the pivotal role it plays in hindering our problem-solving abilities.

Unlock the power of your subconscious mind and pave the way to the life you truly desire. In this insightful episode, Marci brings to light the subconscious patterns that hold us back from reaching our full potential.
From childhood experiences to ingrained belief systems, every interaction leaves a mark on our subconscious. Remember the feeling of a new sibling arriving or the frustration of struggling with math? These moments can shape how we perceive ourselves and the world around us. "I'm not good enough" or "I'm unworthy" become the narratives we live by.
But here's the catch: these patterns, formed to protect us, often hinder our growth as adults. We build walls of protection, fearing vulnerability and rejection. Our relationships suffer, our goals remain unfulfilled, and we find ourselves trapped in a cycle of dissatisfaction.
Recognizing these patterns is the first step towards liberation. By understanding the root cause of our behaviors, we can rewrite our stories and break free from self-imposed limitations. Through introspection and compassion, we can heal old wounds and embrace our true selves.
Join us as we explore the transformative journey from subconscious constraint to conscious empowerment. It's time to dissolve the barriers that hold you back and unleash the courageous, confident woman within. This is not just about healing—it's about reclaiming your power and living the life you were meant to lead. Tune in and embark on the path to liberation today!

Hey there! Ever felt like you have to be super obedient to be loved? I'm diving into something called the "Good Girl Syndrome," where we learn to follow the rules to please others, even if it means hiding our true feelings.
Imagine being told to do something you don't want to do, but you do it anyway because you think that's how you earn your love. Sound familiar? That's the Good Girl Syndrome in action.
But here's the thing: always being the "good girl" can make you feel lost and invisible. It's like you're not really being yourself, just going along with what everyone else wants.
In this episode, Marci talks about how this pattern starts in childhood and sticks with us into adulthood, affecting how we interact with family, at work, and even with friends.
But don't worry, Marci isn't here just to talk about the problem. She'll also give you some tips on how to break free from this trap. It's all about realizing that your worth isn't based on how obedient you are. You're valuable just as you are, no matter what.
So, if you've ever felt like you have to be a "good girl" all the time, tune in and learn how to embrace your true self with courage and confidence!

On today's episode Marci is talking about the collection of "parts" inside you. These "parts" can be created around any experience or relationship.
You will come to learn that these "parts" aren't the real you.
The three types of parts are: Wounded Child, Preventive Teen, Reactive Teen. These parts have a positive intention. They want to protect the Wounded Child.
Understanding these parts and how to care for them is a powerful way to process emotional wounds when activated and release these parts from their extreme roles.
Doing so will then allow you to release these parts from being "on duty" allowing your real self - the Resourced Adult to be in charge.
This is a powerful concept you don't want to miss! Listen in!

In today's episode Marci is going to teach you the power of using the three little letters. Have you ever found yourself trying to navigate a situation that may feel unsettling or an emotion you want to resist feeling because you might think it will take you down?
The power of AND is a simple technique Marci uses personally and teaches to her clients of how to navigate life experiences and be REAL when doing so! And she wants you to know about this life hack as well.
It's okay to feel nervous, anxious or scared, even sad about something when that is what is true for you. Most of us think it's best to push negative feelings away or pretend they aren't there, thus we end up denying our true experience and robbing ourselves of paying attention to how we think and feel.
When you learn to add the word AND, you acknowledge what is real for you AND how you want to think and feel so that you empower yourself to function in a way that is also real and true for you too! It's possible to experience both opposites at the same time.
Get your favorite blanket or put your earbuds in and take Marci for a walk as you listen to this powerful and easy to use method.

In today's episode Marci is talking all about getting needs met. For a lot of us it can be tough to speak up and verbalize what we need. For example you may have started to believe when you were growing up you wouldn't be loved if you had needs so you developed a pattern of keeping quiet. But you have needs and a void inside you that needs to be taken care of.
Listen in as Marci gives you 4 steps of how to get your needs met.

and about yourself.

💖 Love Inside Out - Truth's about Self Love 💖
Welcome back to the Love Inside Out Valentine's Special Series! In this second bonus episode, we're diving deep into the essential truths about self-love. As we've learned, our relationship with ourselves sets the tone for all other relationships in our lives. When we nurture a healthy and loving relationship with ourselves, our capacity to love others expands exponentially.
Today, we're debunking the misconception that self-love is selfish. Many of us have been conditioned to believe that prioritizing our own needs and desires is egocentric or wrong. But the truth is, self-love is a fundamental human need—a necessary ingredient for a fulfilling life.
Think about it: when you neglect self-care or dismiss your own needs, you're running on an empty tank. Just like a car needs fuel to function, you need self-love to thrive. Neglecting self-love can lead to feelings of resentment, exhaustion, and bitterness, ultimately affecting your relationships and overall well-being.
But what does self-love really look like in action? It's not about indulgence or selfishness—it's about nurturing yourself in the same way you would care for a beloved friend or cherished possession. Self-love is about recognizing your worth, honoring your needs, and treating yourself with kindness and compassion.
In today's episode, we'll explore practical strategies for practicing self-love in your daily life. From setting boundaries to indulging in self-care rituals, we'll uncover the actions that fuel self-love and nourish your soul.
And remember, self-love is a lifelong journey—not a destination. Just like any relationship, it requires consistent effort and attention. But the rewards are immeasurable: improved outlook, stronger relationships, better health, and a deeper sense of fulfillment.
Join us as we embrace the essence of self-love and unlock the transformative power it holds. Hit that play button and let's continue our journey toward love inside out.And don't forget to tune in for Day 3 of "The Self Love Shift: Valentines Special Series," where we'll explore the foundation of solid self-love.

Join Marci in Episode #47 of "Understanding a Faith Journey," where we embark on a compassionate exploration of faith, belief, and the intricate paths people tread in their spiritual journeys. In a heart-to-heart conversation with friends, emotions run high as they grapple with the evolving faith of their children, often labeled as a "faith crisis." However, Marci will challenge you to consider the perspective—could it be a matter of the lens through which we view it?
In a time where questioning faith is increasingly common, we delve into the notion that having doubts and stepping away from the faith we were raised in might not be a negative experience. What if it's okay to have questions? In this episode, we shed new light on how to understand and support those questioning their beliefs, whether it's your child, spouse, friend, or even yourself.
We discuss three crucial stages of faith development:
- Inherited Faith: The belief system passed down from parents, often unquestioned and followed without extensive personal exploration. Even in this stage, individuals may experience personal witnesses and strengthen their faith.
- Personal Belief: A stage marked by questioning inherited beliefs, potentially causing destabilization, guilt, and the feeling of doing something wrong. It's a time of searching, exploration, and open-mindedness to other perspectives.
- Unifying Faith: The stage where faith becomes a cohesive whole, embracing paradoxes, avoiding rigid thinking, and holding space for opposing beliefs. This stage allows for a deeper understanding, answers to tough questions, and peace with uncertainty.
Throughout the episode, we address the role of judgment and fear in the faith journey. Judgment, whether from those in Inherited Faith or those on a faith journey, can cause anguish and hinder healthy support. Fear of the unknown, eternal consequences, and societal judgment is common but needs to be navigated with understanding and empathy.
The conclusion emphasizes that a faith journey is a natural and healthy process, akin to the varied developmental milestones in human growth.
Join us as we navigate the intricacies of faith, questioning, and growth, fostering understanding and empathy for those on diverse paths of belief.

On a scale from 1-10 how good are you allowing emotions? Most humans bend over backwards to not feel them. Some thing its touchy feely and it's stupid.
A large portion of us weren't taught about emotions, let alone how to manage them! Rarely did we see it modeled growing up. It makes sense that since we don't know much about them or what to do with them, that we would resist feeling them. Society has taught us its a sign of weakness to show emotion.

Drawing inspiration from the Beatitudes, we explore the significance of not hiding our light under a bushel, but rather letting it shine brightly for all to see. However, speaking up can be daunting, as the fear of offending others or being judged can hold us back.

Introducing an authenticity mantra as a powerful filter, we encourage listeners to show up and be seen authentically. This can mean speaking up with love and truth, expressing needs and desires, and sharing thoughts that have been held back. It's not about competition or superiority, but about connecting and expressing ourselves.
We explore how past experiences, such as being shut down or belittled in relationships, can trigger coping mechanisms that stifle our voices. Recognizing these triggers and establishing safety become crucial steps in breaking free from old patterns.
Throughout the episode, practical tips and nervous system regulation methods are shared, guiding listeners to embrace their true selves, communicate with love, and let their light shine brightly in the world.

Welcome to "Lies About Love," where we explore common misconceptions about one of the most complex emotions known to humanity. In this episode, we will delve into what love is and what it is not, debunking three common lies about love.
Lie #1: You just fall in love or fall out of love. This is a widely accepted belief that love is something that happens to us without our control. However, the truth is, love is a choice. We choose to love someone, and we choose to stay in love with them or not. Love is a feeling that we experience as a result of our thoughts.
Lie #2: Love is enough. While love is undoubtedly essential in any relationship, it is not the only factor that matters. Love alone cannot sustain a healthy and happy relationship. It requires mutual respect, understanding, communication, and compromise.
Lie #3: You cannot make someone else feel your love for them. This is a prevalent misconception that we cannot make someone feel loved. However, the reality is that relationships involve two people having thoughts about each other. While we cannot force someone to feel a certain way, we can create an environment that fosters love and affection.
Join me as we explore these three lies about love and gain a deeper understanding of what it truly means to love and be loved. Let's challenge our assumptions and learn to love more intentionally.

Welcome to this episode of "There is Nothing Wrong With You"! In this episode, we will explore the three primary functions of the lower brain: fear, ease, and desire.
As human beings, we are programmed with these functions to protect us and keep us alive. Fear is a response that alerts us to potential danger and prepares us to take action. Ease is a state of relaxation that allows us to rest and restore ourselves after periods of stress or exertion. Desire drives us to pursue things that we need or want, such as food, water, shelter, and social connection.
Despite the important role these functions play in our survival, they can also cause us to feel anxious, stressed, and dissatisfied with our lives. You will learn about the two types of fear and how the second one sole purpose is to get you to play small. Do you find you say things like, I'm just lazy or I don't finish things? We may believe that there is something inherently wrong with us if we experience fear, struggle to get moving or learn something new, or feel like our desires are never fully satisfied.
In this episode, we will delve into the nature of these functions and how they interact with our conscious thoughts and behaviors. We will explore ways to reframe our relationship with fear, ease, and desire so that we can live more fully and authentically.
Join us as we discover that there is nothing wrong with us and that we have everything we need to thrive in this world.
