Life Is On x2 Speed Right Now! #93

Does it feel like life is moving faster than it used to? One minute it’s Monday. The next it’s Friday. School terms disappear, summers vanish, and before you know it another year has passed. In this episode, I explore why so many of us feel like we’re constantly rushing through life and why I don’t think the problem is time itself. I share my thoughts on how modern life has changed the way we live inside our time. From phones and notifications to endless to-do lists and the pressure to always be productive, I talk about how our attention is being pulled in every direction and what that means for our health, happiness, relationships and ability to be present. I also share my own experience of living from holiday to holiday, term to term and always looking towards the next thing, only to realise how much of life was passing by while I was busy trying to get through it. In this episode, I discuss: • Why I think attention has become one of our biggest challenges • The hidden cost of constantly living on autopilot • Why being busy and being present are not the same thing • How modern life can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves • Practical ways we can slow down without changing our entire lives This isn’t an episode about productivity. It’s a conversation about life, presence and the moments we often rush through without even realising it. Because maybe the goal isn’t to find more time. Maybe it’s to be more present inside the time we already have. GROUP AND 1:1 Coaching open NOW!

"I'll Focus On Myself Later" #92

Every June, thousands of women make the same promise. This summer will be different. They’ll finally focus on themselves, get back into a routine, lose the weight they’ve been carrying, improve their energy, and return in September feeling like a different person. And every September, many find themselves having the exact same conversation they had the year before. In this episode, I explore the cycle I lived through during my 13 years of teaching and the same pattern I now see in the women I coach. From dieting all year for summer holidays to arriving in August feeling frustrated, exhausted and disappointed, I break down why more time doesn’t automatically create better habits and why waiting for the “right time” keeps so many women stuck. This episode is particularly relevant for teachers heading into summer, but the lesson applies to anyone who finds themselves postponing their goals until life becomes easier. If you’ve ever said, “I’ll start when things calm down,” this episode is for you. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

The Real Reason You Can't Finish What You Started #91

You think you can't finish anything. You can. In this final episode of The Real Reason series, Marina breaks down what is actually happening every time you start a diet, a programme, a plan, a challenge and abandon it three weeks in. Why the women who run businesses, raise families and hold everyone else's life together cannot see one eight-week plan through to the end. Why no amount of better starting will fix a problem that is not about starting. And why the resistance to getting help is part of the same pattern that has kept you abandoning every plan you have ever paid for. You will walk away understanding why the moment of stopping is not the moment the stopping happened, what staying actually looks like in real life, why willpower has never been the right tool, and the one shift that turns a woman who watches others run into a woman who finishes a 10k. If you have a folder on your phone full of unfinished plans, this is the episode that ends the loop. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

The Real Reason You Don't Plan Ahead #90

You tell yourself you don't have time to plan. You don't. You have a capacity problem disguised as a time problem, and it is costing you a lot more than the takeaway on Thursday night. In this episode I am breaking down why your week keeps falling apart in the exact same place every single time, why every meal plan and tracking app and twenty-eight day reset has stopped working three weeks in, and why the cost of staying in this cycle is not the weight you have not lost, it is the woman you are slowly becoming convinced you are. I am sharing the years I spent doing it perfectly Monday to Wednesday and falling apart by Thursday afternoon in a Cheesecake Factory parking lot, and what finally changed when I stopped trying to plan a fantasy version of my life and started planning the one I was actually living. If you are the woman standing in your kitchen at five o'clock with no plan, or sitting on your couch on Sunday night swearing that this week will finally be it, this is the episode you need to hear. DM the word COACHING if you are ready to stop relying on willpower in the part of the day where you have none left. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

The Real Reason You Can't Switch Off #89

You think you have a food problem. You don't. You have a switch-off problem, and food has become the only way you have ever learned to stop. In this episode, I break down the pattern almost every busy professional woman is stuck in but no one is naming. Why you can be disciplined in every other area of your life and still lose control of food the moment you sit down in the evening. Why every plan you have ever followed has missed the actual mechanism keeping you stuck. And why the diet industry's business model depends on you never solving this. You will walk away understanding why food in the evening is not about hunger or willpower, what is actually happening across your 14-hour day, why "just have a bath instead" advice never works, and the one shift that breaks the cycle without another meal plan. If you have been blaming yourself for years, this is the episode that explains why it was never your fault.
