September 08, 2020 06:00 - 57 minutes - 39.7 MBIn this episode our special guest, Victoria Volk (author, grief recovery specialist, reiki master) and myself discuss grief, how it shows up in our live and why we need to learn to perceive and work with grief in a new way if we are to move forward in life.

Limited Beliefs and how they are holding you back
August 16, 2020 06:00 - 37 minutes - 26 MBI think about all that is going on and that has been going on for the past year and it seems almost overwhelming. And there is one thought that always keeps me going when I wonder if my aspirations are too much…. “There is always a way you just have to find it.” This is a mantra I have said since I was a kid. I have no idea where it came from but I can look back and see it is my cure to any limiting beliefs that come my way (either internally or from someone else). And this is what we are...
Your Creative Self
July 26, 2020 05:00 - 41 minutes - 28.4 MBCreativity isn't about producing something pretty. It's not about the end product at all. Creativity is an energy that you align with, a certain head space where you are open and receptive. To tap into this creative force you need to step onto the connection bridge. Anyone can do it and in this episode I talk about how you can too. @happymemichelle [email protected] www.michellemarsh.com.au Support the show (https://michellemarsh.com.au/aromanosis-practice)
Your Shadow Self
July 11, 2020 06:00 - 26 minutes - 18.6 MBYin and Yang. Light and dark. We need contrast to appreciate the light. We need opposites for balance to occur. Opposing forces keep our world from falling apart. Eternal sunny days may sound lovely but we need the rain. The rain is our dark moments, the emotions we don't want. And yet the rain is a vital ingredient that allows the earth to flourish when the sun comes out. We need our shadow selves and yet we lock this aspect away when others are around. We even lock it away from ourselve...
Your Intuitive Self
June 20, 2020 07:00 - 36 minutes - 25.1 MBI remember when I first started learning about my intuition… or even that I had one! I was a teenager and I loved the idea of something smarter than me guiding me. But I had no idea how to even reach for it. I was completely disconnected and it felt like someone handing me a book written in Spanish and saying now read this and understand it. I don't know Spanish and even though I might hold that book and look at the words with true desire in my heart to understand, there is no way I could...
42: Internal Apocalypse
June 06, 2020 09:00 - 32 minutes - 22.1 MBApocalypse: a "revelation", "an unveiling or unfolding of things not previously known and which could not be known apart from the unveiling." Many say we are in an apocalypse right now, and I would have to agree. The world is not coming to an end but the veil is being lifted and all the things that where hidden or easy to ignore are now coming into the spotlight…. And it is uncomfortable. And it’s painful. But just because a festering wound is covered up, doesn’t mean it isn’t there. As w...
41: Loving Yourself through the Seasons of Life
May 23, 2020 05:00 - 38 minutes - 26.6 MBDo you love and respect yourself enough to stand up and celebrate what you have accomplished? And if so, do you love and respect yourself enough to be OK and even enjoy the seasons where you are not productive? There are seasons of life and we cycle through them whether we like it or not. There are seasons of hustle, action, productivity and creative output and then seasons of introspection, hermitting and incubation. There are seasons of wins and successes and there are seasons of failure ...
40: When your Body Asks for Emotional Release
May 16, 2020 10:00 - 35 minutes - 24.8 MBWhat is emotional release anyway and why should we invest our precious time in it? The answer is simple (sort of). Which would you prefer? Your emotional baggage surfacing on your own terms.... Or at some unexpected time when your body can't contain it any longer? I know which one I choose! In this episode you will learn all things about Emotional Release, what it is and how you can shape it to be emotional relief. Support the show (https://michellemarsh.com.au/aromanosis-practice)
39: Is your mind your own?
May 09, 2020 08:00 - 37 minutes - 26.1 MBI am sitting outside, wrapped in blankets as I do my morning meditation. I feel pretty content. I am excited, optimistic and full of quiet hope for what is evolving in this beautiful world of ours. We are in changing times and my work is to remain balanced, grounded and to keep my head from being influenced too much from the extreme opinions on a range of topics, which have much energy behind them right now. I also feel a whisper in my ear to share this awareness with those ready to liste...
38: Scarcity Mindset Vs Abundance Mindset
May 02, 2020 06:00 - 41 minutes - 28.5 MBWhen I asked in our Aromanosis group about what subjects everyone is interested in, there was an overwhelming response that Abundance Mindset was a topic that is wanted. I have to tell you, this makes my heart so so glad! Because two years ago, the importance mindset plays on our external realities was not really a mainstream subject. In our current reality, however, more and more of us are waking up and taking back control over our minds and lives. In this episode I dig into what it means...
37: Why you can't ignore you any longer
April 25, 2020 07:00 - 29 minutes - 20 MBIf you ask me, learning about yourself is the most important thing you can do, in fact I would argue that it is a big part of why we are here on this earth living this life. Personal development is about learning how to go within, what is within, how to change what is within and THEN creating change in our external realities. https://michellemarsh.com.au/aromanosis-practice/ @happymemichelle [email protected] Support the show (https://michellemarsh.com.au/aromanosis-practice)
36: The Discombobulated Scattered Brain
April 18, 2020 06:00 - 35 minutes - 24.6 MBAnyone else feeling slightly discombobulated at times?... Yep me too! My brain has been full, scattered and generally overwhelmed even though there is no immediate threat to myself or family right now. A few days ago, I leant into my feelings and reframed ‘discombobulated me’ into something much lighter and more effective. Events https://michellemarsh.com.au/category/events/ Support the show
35: Uniquely You
April 11, 2020 07:00 - 28 minutes - 19.3 MBWhy are we all so afraid to be ourselves? This is the biggest fear I see time and time again. And I get it because I have felt it too and releasing it was both the most terrifying thing I have ever done as well as the most liberating. There is a lightness that comes about when you make a firm decision to never act in a certain way or be a certain thing for fear of someone else not approving. I used to think I would turn into an assehole if I stopped caring about the approval of others. But ...

33: Healthy Gut for Immunity with Maria Arora (Naturopath)
March 28, 2020 07:00 - 1 hour - 42.5 MBWhile we may be constricted within our abilities to move around, interact, work and run businesses, there is still so much we can do. I see this theme of giving over control most strongly in our personal health. We are all concerned…. And yet, what foods are cleared from the aisles of our supermarkets? Certainly not the ones that are going to improve and aid our health. And what proactive steps are we taking to make our immune system strong? Avoidance of this virus seems to be the only me...
32: What Type of Person are You?
March 20, 2020 11:00 - 41 minutes - 28.3 MBWhat kind of person are you? And who do you want to be? How long have you spent on these questions? With everything going on in the world right now, it is more important than ever to know ourselves.... Because you have gifts you don't even know about yet.... And you are going to need them to thrive.... Your family is going to need them... And it's quite possible that the world is going to need them too. Let's stop hiding from ourselves and look within... You might be pleasantly surprised wh...
31: Grief, The Missing Link
March 14, 2020 12:00 - 59 minutes - 40.8 MB"In order to change the world, we must first change the conversation around grief and make it normal..." - Victoria Volk (Grief Recovery Method Specialist) We have all experienced grief and most of us carry it with us through life, continually adding to our load, too afraid to face and process the pain. Today's guest is Victoria Volk and she teaches us that, "Grief is anything we wish were different, better or more and is the loss of hope, dreams and expectations." In other words, we are ...
30: Stepping into the Woo
March 06, 2020 08:00 - 59 minutes - 40.6 MBDo you want to step into this "woo" that everyone is talking about?... Assuming you know what the woo is! When we talk about the "woo" we are not talking about religion, we are instead talking about energy, spirituality and the mystic which you can be any religion to tap into (or none at all). Alex Bawden stepped into this world after a childhood far from anything woo. She talks about the life experiences that led her on this journey and how you can find your path too. You can find Alex @apu...
29: There is Freedom in Failure
February 20, 2020 06:00 - 26 minutes - 18 MBWhat would your days be like if no-one were watching you? What would you do with your time? Who would you be? What would you dare think about? Our ego loves an audience, so when we take the audience out of the equation we are left with only with ourselves…. Our deepest heart’s desires and who we truly are when you peel away all the layers. There used to be a part of me afraid that if I didn’t have an audience I would do nothing at all…. And if that’s the truth then what kind of person did...

27: Intuitive Flow into Money
February 06, 2020 09:00 - 41 minutes - 28.4 MBThe generally accepted "norm" when we have a goal we want to achieve, is to strategize and plan each step towards the goal and to prioritize these steps above all else. It's effective.... Until it's not. Because when we continually push ourselves, always ignoring what we truly feel like doing, we end up in a place of physical and/or mental burnout. But is it truly possible to achieve big goals and dreams with a sense of balance? I believe it is, and in my experience it's a path that leads ...
26: My Painful Lessons from Burnout
January 30, 2020 07:00 - 48 minutes - 33.4 MBTowards the end of 2018 I finally consciously acknowledged that I was in a state of mental, physical and emotional burnout. I didn't state it publicly at the time. To be honest I was a little embarrassed. I was struggling with the fact that I was someone who prided themselves with my ability to eat well, exercise, run 2 businesses, take care of 3 kids etc etc. And I had positive thinking down to a fine art.... Which turned out to be half the problem. You see, I was so good at making myself t...

24: If I didn't wake up tomorrow... (with Patsy Kenney)
January 15, 2020 07:00 - 55 minutes - 38.5 MBThis week I interviewed Patsy Kenney, explorer of life and truly someone who inspires me every day. "The last year has been one of the greatest most difficult years of my life. Last May, a high school classmate who I was close with passed away unexpectedly from a heartattack in his sleep at 33 years old. This shook me to my core and lead me to start asking myself the question, if I didn't wake up tomorrow, would I be satisfied with my life? One month later I got a call from my dad that he ha...
23: Holding Space During Crisis
January 09, 2020 07:00 - 52 minutes - 36.2 MBLet's talk about what it truly means to hold space for someone. And with all the crisis happening through our world right now, let's talk about what it means to hold space for those we do not know personally, but want to help in some way. I'm getting real in this episode. Real about our role in all of this disaster and I am calling on you to wake up! It's time we all took responsibility and stopped playing the blame game. It's time we all looked within and made up our own minds about what ...
22: Creating Real Change
January 02, 2020 08:00 - 30 minutes - 21 MBHow many times have you set a goal, only to look back 6 months later and realise you haven't done anything about it? Or you tried, but it didn't work out? In this episode you may be surprised when you hear that making significant changes in your life is NOT about radical change and massive effort. You may also be surprised to learn that it is totally OK to NOT be laser focused and push through no matter what! www.michellemarsh.com.au https://www.facebook.com/groups/purposebalanceburnout/ @h...
21: Finding Harmony - part 2 with Harmony Garcia
December 19, 2019 06:00 - 1 hour - 43.6 MBLast week we met Harmony and talked about what it means to be yourself. This week Harmony is telling us more about her colourful past and how it molded her into the person she is today - both the good and the not so good aspects. We delve into why ‘negatives’ (or contrast as I like to call it) are an essential part of our growth and thus happiness. Harmony also talks about trauma, and highlights that trauma is not only the big contrasting events in our life but also the little things. And ...
20: Finding Harmony (with Harmony Garcia)
December 12, 2019 05:00 - 46 minutes - 31.8 MBIn this week's conversation, I am talking to coach and influencer Harmony Garcia about: Letting your “freak flag” fly brightly and beautifully without apologising. Who would you be if no-one were watching? Internal vs external goals “If you hang around a barber shop long enough, you are going to get a haircut” Building a foundation of support to launch off.

There are many barriers to productivity but of them all there are three obstacles that are the most common, overwhelm, impostor syndrome and poor health habits. In this episode I break it all down as to why these three prevent you from being productive and...

13: Subconscious Sabotage
October 18, 2019 05:00 - 36 minutes - 25.2 MBSubconscious Sabotage…. It sounds like something out of a spy movie and perhaps you may even think that you need not learn this lesson but in all honesty if you skip this lesson you run the risk of falling into this exact trap. So what am I talking about when I say subconscious sabotage? I am talking about the way our brains are programmed to work and how sometimes no matter how hard we try consciously to make things work – somehow we end up doing the complete opposite. Subconscious patte...

Ep 09: Digging Deeper into what purpose & balance really are
August 13, 2019 09:00 - 28 minutes - 19.8 MBWhat is balance truly? And how do we obtain it? Is it a perfect state of being, where nothing ever goes wrong? I don’t think it is. When I think of balance, I think of it as a rhythm or cycle, where we are in a constant state of change. In my mind, I have an image of a pendulum swinging left and right. In one direction is activity and creativity (let’s say its the right side) and on the other is rest and introspection (and we will say this is the left). As the pendulum swings to the right...
08: Is your home slowly killing you?
June 27, 2019 09:00 - 39 minutes - 27 MBEveryday our bodies are overloaded with synthetic chemicals from personal care products, household items, food, pesticides, the air, clothes, linen.... Almost everywhere we look there are chemicals that we are breathing, eating and absorbing through our skin! We do have this amazing thing called a liver and it works really hard to detoxify our bodies from all those synthetic chemicals. Our livers do a great job, but unfortunately modern times have seen us exposed to copious amounts of these...
07: Using Protein to Heal
June 20, 2019 05:00 - 21 minutes - 14.8 MBWhen I got serious about healing, I discovered I was way under-consuming protein for both for my output and for what my body required to to start getting better. I had to learn to eat protein with every meal. If you are like me, right now you are probably thinking 'I can't do that, too much protein makes me feel sick'..... Yeah "me too".... at least at first. But I stuck with it and my body adapted and eventually started to use the nutrients I was giving it..... My body started to heal and ...
06: The Diets I Hate
June 06, 2019 06:00 - 30 minutes - 14.1 MBI know I am going to push buttons with this one! (sorry/not sorry) Like I said last week it saddens me that we are more interested in how we look than our health and we have become really good at “hacking” the body for weight loss. At first glance you might think this is good, but the focus is on weight loss and not health..... and this is scary. I get it.... Letting go of your weight and focusing instead on your health is confronting. But the thing is, being on any diet long term, that si...
05: Choosing Between Weight & Health
May 29, 2019 08:00 - 24 minutes - 11.3 MBThe moment comes when you have to stop worrying about your weight and need to start focusing on your health. The scales are NOT an indicator of health. However your energy levels, your ability cope with stress and your happiness ARE all indicators of good health. It's a scary pill to swallow, but when you make the switch your whole world will change with it and you will finally be able to live the life you want.

Ep 04: Push through or step back? How to succeed without killing yourself
May 23, 2019 04:00 - 31 minutes - 14.4 MBThis balance thing can be quite frustrating... because you are both trying to let go and relax... while also pushing yourself further along the path. Healing happens on the "let go" side, whereas growth and success only happens when you push outside your comfort zone. What happens when you stay in one of these two zones for too long? When you push through ALL the time, leaving no time to rest and recover, you will eventually burnout. What happens… or doesn’t happen when you never push? Eve...

May 15, 2019 06:00 - 37 minutes - 17.3 MBSelf criticism and awareness are two very different things. One is full of judgement and the other is a process of understanding and learning. One leads to feelings of self doubt and low self worth and the other leads to self empowerment and growth.

02: Finding the energy to start healing when you just want to curl up and die
May 07, 2019 10:00 - 25 minutes - 11.7 MBI wanted to make this our first step because quite honestly, it’s the hardest step to take. Sometimes we can know all the strategies in the world to start healing, but if you are feeling like absolute crap, actualizing those strategies is a whole other ball game. The good news though, is that it is possible! Tune in to hear the four steps I took to get myself back in the game. Support the show
