945 | Your Ceiling, Your Floor and the Unbothered You in Between

In this powerful solo episode, Marsha breaks down one of the most important concepts for setting aligned, achievable goals: your ceiling (your biggest vision) and your floor (your deepest belief in yourself). She explains why strategy alone will never carry you to your next level if your nervous system and subconscious identity aren’t built to hold it.

Marsha walks you through how to expand your capacity, strengthen the foundation you’re standing on, and regulate yourself so your goals feel safe, doable, and aligned. If you’ve ever set big goals only to contract, self sabotage, or freeze, this episode will hit home in all the right ways.
