  1. “See if this can be repaired. And I asked him, I said, I'm willing to do anything. We can go to therapy, whatever. But are you willing to at least take a step to see if it's possible? Because I think this is the greatest love of my life. And I don't want to lose you. And I saw something in him crack, meaning that I could see he was hurt and he didn't know I cared that much. And I think it took me being so aggressive, but also really loving in that moment and saying, I am willing to fight for this and I don't want to lose you. And yeah, I've probably been an asshole, but I'm willing to work on it and I want to fix it. And so it was that inner voice that there was like fuck him. Like, you know, it was like leave, whatever. But the deeper voice said fight for this. And I'm so grateful that I listened to that rather than the whiny. Eg”

  2. “And then I said, I remember saying he said, I don't think I love you anymore. And I said, that's not true. And I was like, this is not over. But it did not come from like, it sounds super aggressive. I know that that sounds really scary. But there was, and I'm not kidding you, there was this inner voice that I was like, he's hurt. You're hurt. Fight for this, fight for this relationship. Do not let this go. So that inner voice, you know, it's easy, especially for someone like me when I can get hurt, like there's a somewhat of a natural or at least back at that time to be defensive, right? And say, you don't know, I don't love you. This is done. I'm walking out. I don't need you. And I was like, you fucking be humble and you fight for this relationship. And I remember sitting there and telling him that this wasn't over. I understand that he believes he doesn't love me anymore. I said, I still love you more than anything and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to.”

  3. “The one I was thinking of was actually When Josh and I were sitting on the couch and he told me, I don't think I love you anymore. I think this is done. And I was in such shock. This was, remember when we were talking about how there was like, we've had many ups and downs, but this was one where we were sitting and I was looking at him and I felt that his heart was like so not available. It wasn't just a normal fight. And Stephen, my gut dropped and I felt it was like all the oxygen got sucked out of the room and I felt like I had fucked up the best relationship that I had ever had with my work addiction. And I remember it was a moment of either like feeling fearful, like, okay, this is done and I need a defense mechanism, which would be some version of, screw you, get out. Do you know what I mean? Like, fine, it's over.”

  4. “Develop an intimate relationship even deeper with myself and I have a greater level of trust and faith that not only is everything figuratable but that there is a higher intelligence, there is a greater wisdom that is absolutely on my side and that it has nothing to do with external tools or external people or external expectations and then if I'm quiet enough and courageous enough to be still the answers within.”

  5. “I don't know if there's one specific lowest point, but I'll just choose one. The lesson that I learned from a low point. Was to Always trust my instincts and to not outsource wisdom to not outsource what I should do, to not look to other people. Find the wisdom that already is within me. And I think that trusting of that little voice and to never, ever, ever, ever doubt it. That was probably, that's the lesson I keep getting in my life and I keep adhering to and learning on different levels. And am I grateful for it? 100% because I feel like every time I have a low point in struggle and go within rather than go without.”

  6. “Addict thing create before you consume. Let it be a pause and ask yourself, what do I really want to create right now? Do I want to consume other people's ideas? Do I want to get sucked into this hole? Or is there something I want to create? Is there a meal I want to make? Is there a walk I want to take? Is there a friend I want to reach out to?”

  7. “I'll say one thing too that I've shared with my audience that maybe some folks in yours will find useful, especially if you are a person who consumes social media or other media content when you first wake up in the morning. I think 85% of folks who own cell phones do create before you consume. Create before you consume, whether it's creating a stronger mindset, a stronger body, spending time in nature, being with your partner, writing that song, creating that piece of art. Just create before you consume. And it's like a really fun mantra that you can use anytime during the day. Like if you're going to pick up your phone because you're insecure, you're uncertain. You're uncomfortable. You're fearful. You don't know what to do next. So you're like, well, let me go for my little, you know.”

  8. “And you can. And I think that's what's really, really important. And I think there's too many people who think that you have to be on it all the time. And for some people, if they enjoy it, like go on with your bad self. I just realized that's not me.”

  9. “That's really the key point because all the rest of it, and there is, you know, it's not like I haven't, I have posted. And if I was starting over again and I felt like that was actually a good tool for my message to get out and I said, okay, this is great for me. How can I batch How can I do this? And go, great, I'm going to schedule this up. They're scheduling, there's all kinds of different tools. And to your point, I love the word that you use. How can I be intentional about this? How can I use this medium in a way that's going to help me serve and connect with people that I really want to connect with and absolutely minimize or eliminate the downsides”

  10. “Right? So it's like she wishes all of these people well. She's a beautiful person who wants everybody to be successful. But like most of us, it's built into our neurology. It's built into our biology to compare ourselves. And if you spend enough time on that, you're going to wind up feeling like shit.”

  11. “Dude, oh, I have no money. Well, this is something you could probably get an intern. This is one of the things that's everything is figuratable. You can absolutely figure it out. Like even if you had to work a little bit extra, if you were a bartender like me or waiting tables and one of your shifts was devoted to hiring someone to post things for you, you could figure it out. Or you could set limits for yourself. You know, Instagram, and I don't know because I don't know much about the app because I'm not in there much. But I know that you can turn off or at least minus. You don't have to see the amounts of likes on anything. You just actually see an image or whatever. And so you can kind of craft the tools so that you keep yourself away from the things that fuck you up. And then you go on. And I showed this to an artist friend of mine who was absolutely drowning because she was comparing herself to all these other artists. And I showed her how to mute things because she loves those human beings, but it's just.”

  12. “Sure, sure. I think that there are really helpful and useful ways to do so. And I think that it doesn't have to take a lot of money. It just takes a little bit of creativity and it takes some really strong personal boundaries and standards. So for instance, at this point in the game, I have a team, you've met some of them today. Like we'll create content and they'll post it. It's not much different than me with my YouTube show or my podcast. I'm not necessarily the one going on YouTube to upload things. Does that make sense? I have money.”

  13. “One of the ways that I did, I realized that for me, and this is just me personally. Being on social was not healthy for me. It was not because, you know, in any given moment you're either engaged in your life and creating and like just being with people, you're making a meal or, you know, like whatever you do. Or for me, like even just being on there, it's like it's almost like a little thought worm gets in and then two o'clock in the morning you wake up and you're like, why am I not doing X and X like so-and-so is? Or I should be doing this. Like it's that whole conversation. I should be wanting this or I should be doing this. And I found it to be really toxic for me. I found it to be really unhealthy for me where I was like, wow, if I'm on this thing, I find that I'm comparing myself. And when I'm not on this thing, I'm like, yeah, like I'm so happy. Like I'm really creatively productive. I'm more prolific. Like I'm a better leader. I'm a better partner.”

  14. “I and I'm better at this than I've ever been. I'm not nowhere near perfect. Please know, but I am so much less susceptible than I used to be. Like I was telling you about that person that said, You're so good at what you do, why aren't your numbers bigger that conversation? I felt like such right, and it was just like, oh God, you know, like you have, you've been doing it. Why aren't your numbers bigger? Like, so that if I'm in, if I get sucked into that conversation, I absolutely do not feel like enough, 100%. have enough perspective or when I can, you know what I mean, like get sober from that. I'm like, dude, everything is like I'm so happy.”

  15. “Oh, totally. Because it's like so much judgment. Like it's still there, even though I do it. But it's like, I talk to my best friend about this all the time. And she was like, Marie, you're doing great. But it was like, I still have that voice that's like, you should be able to just walk up on any stage at a moment's notice and like fucking crush it. But it's just not the truth. I can't do that. And so that voice is still there. And when I hear it, I continue to practice to be kind to myself and go, it's okay. You're doing okay.”

  16. “Oh yeah, I mean, what we were just talking about the speaking things. Like I have the voice in my head, Stephen, like, you've been coaching and working with people for over 20 years. Like, why are you, how do you still have anxiety about getting up on a stage?”

  17. “You know, I don't feel that way. That's the honest to goodness truth. We had a, there was a couple of opportunities that came up specifically around this trip. And I heard that you should do that, right? I heard that voice and I just politely declined and I didn't feel any guilt about it. I was like, that felt new for me, to be honest, because I've gone on trips and work trips and things like that. And like every moment of every day, you know what I mean, was packed so that you could maximize every opportunity. And before I came here to see you, like I was with my team and like shopping for a pair of jeans that I really wanted. And it was lovely.”

  18. “Yeah. What would he say? He might say, Oh, I know what he would say. He would probably say being hard on ourself. Being hard on herself, like basically before I was coming here and getting, I was like, you think the talk's going to go okay? It's like, it's gonna go great. Like, you know, I can have those just like, is it going to all be okay? Like that kind of stuff. And, um, Yeah, I think he's just like you, he's consistently my champion for being nicer to myself. Like if he catches me, sometimes I won't catch it myself if I'm going into a mode of like really getting focused and, you know, maybe working a little too long is like, have you eaten? I'm like, thank you because I have not or something like that”

  19. “Okay, personally. Struggling I don't, and this is not I'm probably going to sound like a total asshole. So I'll just say that out loud. At this particular moment, I don't feel a sense of struggle around something consistently in my personal life. Like I feel I spent so much time over the past couple of years. We were talking about the time genius stuff, like really taking care of my mental health and really starting to kind of unprogram and reprogram some of the stuff that I've tortured myself with in the past that I finally feel such a level of peace and acceptance of like who I am. And Josh and I have done so much work and I feel so grateful. And he's the person I spend the most time with. And we have just such a, I'm so grateful for our relationship. So in the personal realm, there's not one that comes up right now that doesn't mean it's not going to come up.”

  20. “I don't know. I think that one of the things I've seen about myself is that when I do something enough times, I get super comfortable with it and then I can be really creative and playful. And so I think it's honestly a lack of having done it a lot recently. Like when I was on booktour, it was just like, ah, like it was so much fun. And it had like a very clear focus. I was like, oh, we're talking about the book and all the content was right there. But when things are more freeform, I'm so creative that it can get like wild and crazy. So I want to put containers around stuff and give myself more opportunities to do it in a way where it feels really fun.”

  21. “Yeah, sometimes it's about, oh my gosh, you know, people will ask me to come speak on stage different stages. And I've said no so often because I have so many other things that my attention's on and I'm a person I like to prepare and I like to deliver as much value as I can. I want to take care of a host and their audience and like putting together I'm like, oh gosh, what's the talk going to be? Like I can feel my mind going into a super swirly place and it's not fun. And it was like, I need to handle this. I'm like, I don't need to handle this on my own. You know, everything is figuratable, but that doesn't mean that I can't ask for help figuring it out. So for me, it's about working through the anxiety and the nerves around, okay, well, how can I construct the best talk? How long should it be? The delivery, how many stories? Like a lot of kind of technical things, it might sound really silly. I don't know if it does or not, but it's things that like my head just goes like this about. And I'm like, okay, I want to confirm.”

  22. “I think right now it's less of a struggle, more of a, this is what I'm playing with and I'm excited about getting better at. You know, I'm here to give a beautiful talk in an event. And it's something that I haven't done a lot of because we've been in COVID and all this stuff. And I can get nervous on stage. I can get really nervous. Like I'm very, very comfortable with cameras and having one-on-one conversations, but I can get super nervous on stage when it's not like my people that have come to see me. So that's something that I've been working on a lot this year.”

But all of that experience set me up to start my own YouTube show, set me and it brought all of these different expressions and Influences into my brand that lived today that make it very, very different than other people. You know, there's some people that are coaches that are brilliant and they have this beautiful academic background or different things. And for me, all of that flavor.”

  27. “I thought, I said, okay, Marie. If when you're 34 and you look back and you did not at least try to make dance a part of your career, will you regret it? And the answer was hell yes. So when I was 24, even though I didn't have any dance training and it was just a passion, I started taking more dance classes and I started teaching fitness classes, which got me into a whole world of eventually becoming a Nike dance athlete. But the point of that is I tried to follow that path of one thing and I just failed miserably. And because I was so unhappy, I said, all right, fuck it. I'm going to pursue dance. I'm going to pursue coaching. I'm going to do the bartending. I'm going to let all of my different interests thrive knowing that I couldn't do that forever. I knew I wouldn't earn as much money as a coach. I knew I was going to kind of keep everything a little bit slower because my focus would be split. But the joy and the”

  28. “So I tried that approach because I read about it so much and I'm like, oh my gosh, I must follow what everyone says because that's the path to success. And Stephen, when I tried to just be a coach and just do like the bartending on the side to earn money, I felt like I was cutting off a limb. There were so many other pieces of me that were screaming to be expressed. And I was like, what's wrong with me? Why can't I just be a coach and be happy and then do my bartending? Like, why can't it be that simple? But I was probably 23 or 24 and I loved dance. I was not a trained dancer. It was just something that was in my body, in my soul. And I sat down at myself and I did something called the 10-year test. This is something that has served me well too.”

  29. “It's a great question that I don't know if I have a good answer to because I'm certainly not a clinical psychologist. Like I went to the best ADHD doctor in the country who gave me the diagnosis. And he's like, you have the gift. I'm like, thank you. I have the gift. Thank you very much. So I don't know if those two things are linked. But what I do know is anytime that I've shared that phrase with many people, they're like, oh my gosh, I think I'm multi-passionate too. It's the person that has this beautiful business and has that art Instagram account and is an amazing chef too. And it just gives us, again, it's a silly little phrase that just kind of gives you a little bit of a playground to talk about your different interest in maybe a way that doesn't make you feel as broken as I did.”

But as I've been walking people through this program and seeing how fast they get results, it just makes me happy because folks are lowering their stress levels. They're having time to be with their kids. They're taking walks on the beach. They're getting more done and less time and they're not feeling exhausted anymore. And so it's a really rewarding thing.”

But a lot of people don't make an ecosystem or design their environment to really help them thrive. And of course, there's certain things we can do with technology to make sure we're never interrupted, that distractions don't happen, different things we can do with our brain. And then it's a lot about kind of setting yourself up for follow through and not relying on motivation, which as you know.”

  32. “There's really five key parts to it. First, it's about changing our mindset from the inside out, about getting out of time stress and living as a time genius where you know in your bones and in practice that there is always time for what's most important. It's a complete different paradigm. Again, we can talk more about it. It's a little bit too lengthy to get into everything here. The second part of it is when you know it's important, you can ignore what's not. I found that for me in different parts of my life, and I'm pretty good at this one, but I'm always practicing is if there's too much on my plate. Somewhere in the middle”

  34. “So, probably for, I would say, almost a year and a half, if not two years, so much of my own creative energy has been pouring into this new program, this new experience that we created, really born out of my own pain. I hit a wall at the end of 2020 where I didn't realize how burned out I was, I think like many of us. And I found myself in this position that I never found myself in my whole career where I started dreading waking up in the morning. And so I went on this journey of discovering and putting together like, how do we heal the paradigm of living in time stress? And I describe that where it's like, you don't know what to focus on first when you wake up in the morning because there's so many things to do. You feel guilty if you take a rest for five minutes because your brain says, I should be doing something more important. You have trouble prioritizing. You feel like no matter how many.”

I'm like, no, they don't have to. And we need everyone's gifts. And it's like, I just knew from the moment that I could understand, I was like, that is not my path in this lifetime. My path in this lifetime is to help people give birth to their ideas and to possibilities. It's not necessarily to give birth to a physical child through my physical body. And so I like to talk about it just because I want women to have as many choices as they possibly can to be as brilliant and as impactful and happy as they possibly can.”

  36. “I think it's really important for every woman to know that she has the right to choose her destiny. And whether that destiny includes a family, doesn't include a family, includes some semblance of what she believes is a family. Like I want women to have that choice. I can't tell you how many comments were under that video. People left comments anonymously who had given birth and absolutely loved their kids and said, I would have made a different choice if I knew I had one.”

  37. “Yeah, you know, it's really interesting. So, one of the things I do on my show, Marie TV, is I answer questions. I love just taking questions from our audience and answering them. And one of our viewers said, hey, Marie, how did you decide not to have kids? And we had never covered the topic before. And I was like, oh, well, let me just want to talk about that. And it was one of the most popular episodes that we haven't ever had. And it was because it sparked this discussion just about choice and about, oh, wow, you just didn't want them and you knew that it like wasn't a struggle. And I'm like, that's maybe not everyone's journey and that's great. But I need to be honest about mine because one of the things, and we've had talks with my mom about this, it's like her kind of set prescription was so there from society and from it's like you get married and you have kids and that was i think her authentic dream but it was also the conditioning right and um i just think it's interesting i like talking about it because”

More driven by desire and fun and creativity. And wouldn't it be cool if, oh, let's try that and only saying yes to things that are like a full body yes, not saying yes to things because I think it's going to get me somewhere or it's going to get that bag so much bigger. It's like, you know what? At some point, enough's enough. I'm sure you've experienced this. It's like, when does enough become enough?”

  39. “As if previously those two things were at odds, and then all of a sudden everything was integrated where he felt really heard and seen and I felt really heard and seen. And it was as though that battle completely disintegrated. And so no longer was it this or that. No longer was it will either give me attention or, you know what I mean? I have to give up this business. No, it was like, oh, now I understand what he really needs, which is not tons of time. It's actually presence and giving him support and love in the way that he can really feel it. And how he gets nurtured. And it's completely different than how I do. Again, this is like a practice and it's nothing that we're taught in school. So we're all just stumbling around, at least I was, and Josh and I were.”

  40. “This is where I'm going to go back. Well, all this stuff. So as it relates, and I think those are maybe two different slight nuances. So I would go back to the Helen and the Harville work. Like there's a couple of tools that they teach you, one of which is this tool called dialogue. It's a very structured form of having a conversation with your loved one. Stephen, I cannot tell you how healing this particular form of work is. You can probably look it up online. They do tons of workshops, very inexpensively. They're actually even taking their workshops into police departments, like because it is transformative, how it helps people connect, how it helps people see each other, how it helps people hear each other, and how it helps people heal. And when Josh and I started practicing these tools that we learned from Harville and Helen, something in me relaxed and I was able to see and hear and recognize and understand Josh's needs in a way that did not feel threatening to my own drive for my own success.”

  41. “So for me it was around really stepping back and asking myself what matters most like is it the money in the bank account is it the amount of followers or customers or whatever and I remember sitting in that therapy chair and like thinking about what I've grown and then seeing this beautiful man and going like you know what it's not about choosing either or but like you've got a problem Marie and you got to fix this like this thing meaning the business cannot be your number one priority if you know in your heart that love is the most important thing in life then you need to start demonstrating that you need to start acting that you need to start making time for that”

  42. “Be the force that keeps me from the richest parts of my life which are my connections. For anyone who's in that space right now, they have to want to make that choice to change and then be willing to as much as they took the risk to start a business, they have to be even more courageous to redefine their own success at a higher different level. And it takes courage. It takes a lot of courage.”

  43. “I think that it's really important for every person to come to that realization that They may be killing it in certain areas, and then to be honest enough to say the areas where it's not working, and then I would always come back to if you want this, it's kind of like we go back to everything is figuratable. Having love in your life, friendships in your life, adventure in your life, downtime in your life is important to you, you can absolutely figure it out. And what I've seen in my own journey, and this is my own personal estimation of myself, I've actually become way more successful. I've become a better coach. I've become a better teacher. I've become a better friend. I've become a better partner, not being dragged by my drive. not allowing the fear of losing any success that I've built.”

  44. “We had several. So when my stepson was leaving for college, I think this was around maybe 2009 or 10. I might be getting the years wrong, forgive me. I was basically, I was such a workaholic. I was such a workaholic. And he was so just desirous of just more attention. And I was so obsessed with my business and so obsessed with trying to be successful and this fear if I slowed down that would all be taken away and this fear that if I didn't continue to work and build that I was going to lose everything. And it almost destroyed my relationship. It was terrible. We had been together, I think, oh I can probably do the math better now. So we'd been together about six or seven years. We met in 2003. So it's probably about 2010. And we had never once taken a proper vacation together. I always said that I couldn't because I was too busy working.”

  45. “Need to be free. And for Josh, one of his kind of core, and they use this language and like a childhood wound. For him it was abandonment. So he wants to be close. So oftentimes we will pick the person that has the exact opposite childhood wound. So for me, someone that wants freedom, of course, is going to choose a partner that wants more attachment. in their work, it's actually like you choose the perfect partner to heal the very things that you need to heal. So for me that you were saying, okay, do you think that has to relate to just the fact that I don't want to get married, just the fact that all that stuff, does that relate? It probably does because there was a lot of me wanting to be free in my childhood, a lot of me feeling very constricted and held back. And so for Joshua, it was the opposite. But I would highly recommend their work if you have not explored it. If anyone has not explored.”

  46. “Work that I've ever done when it comes to having a healthy relationship is from Harville Hendrix and Helen Lakelli Hunt. So there's a book called Getting the Love You Want. It was like huge, I think, in the 90s and then maybe the early 2000s. I had never heard of it. But Josh and I stumbled upon it when honestly we were on that we were in a really, really tough place and I didn't know if we were going to make it through. Josh had been talking with someone who was like, oh, you guys should try imagotherapy, which is the kind of therapy that they have developed this whole body of work. There's international therapists. They're friggin' fantastic. I was like, we must study with these people. So they kind of talk about the fact that every single person, you learn things in your family unit. So for me, there was a lot of kind of smothering that happened at certain points. So I need to be free.”

  47. “It could, it very well could, prior to Josh, I would meet folks and be in relationship and they would be like, okay, so we're going to get married, then we're going to have kids. And I'm like, are you actually listening? Because that's not what this thing wants. That is not the path I'm on. So it was actually really, really challenging until Josh and I got together back in 2003 and I felt like I had found my soulmate.”

  48. “Oh my goodness. So challenging like most people, one of my biggest challenges was actually I've known from a very, very young age that I basically never wanted to be married or have children. So that was just like it was this inner knowing, you know, many young girls, at least my friends, they would fantasize about like my wedding day. And, you know, there was lots of dolls and okay, this is my baby and all that stuff. And I just never had any of those desires or inklings. And as I became a teenager, like.”

  50. “Right. And it says, I, and I think just like that's not my priority right now. I choose not to. That's not my choice at this moment. You can try on any one of those, but all of a sudden, like something in you, I think feels the honesty. You feel the alignment. All of us, you feel more alive and you have more energy. And I'll tell you, you do that enough. You tell yourself the truth about you enough. And all of a sudden you start falling in love with the real you. Not the you that you think you're supposed to be to get everyone else to like you, not the you that society has told you that you have to be or all the people that you compare yourself to who are probably faking it anyway, but you fall in love with the real you and that's in my experience where real happiness and satisfaction and fulfillment comes from.”
