Marci's favorite week is coming! 

The week of  March 4th. It's Because I Can Week and you are invited to celebrate with Marci!

Marci started the tradition of Because I Can week six or seven years ago. It all stems from her last conversation she had with her sister before she died.

Because I Can week is a week where we honor being alive by living more intentionally with a grateful heart and by doing the things we love to do or "get" to do.

Because we Can...

We also remember and honor those that can't. And we do things for them too. 

Because we Can...

Join in on the fun. Today's episode will give you all the details. Marci will also speak to those that have hearts that still  raw and feeling shattered from the loss of a loved one. 

She also suggests that the anniversary of the death of your loved one doesn't have to be depressing. Marci will teach you how to be real with what you are feeling AND how to make it a good week too! It's possible to have a tender heart AND still have an uplifting and inspiring week.

BECAUSE WE CAN! Let's go!

On today's episode Marci is sharing a personal message about grief she made for a friend a few years ago. This friend had lost her son to cancer.

Marci is well acquainted with grief having lost her Dad to a sudden heart attack when she was 21 years old. Years later two sisters to cancer as well as her mother and step dad.

Grief is not the boogey man! What if you looked at it like a friend? Here to visit you when you experience loss of a loved one or any loss for that matter.  With any kind of loss our hearts can feel like they are broken into a million pieces.

Grief is not something to get through to the other side. It is an emotion that understandably resides in you as you mourn. It doesn't need to take over either! You can let grief follow you around and be empowered as you learn how to pick up the pieces and mend your heart back together.

Get ready for a new perspective as you listen in to Making Grief Your Friend.

💖 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.

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.

In today's episode Marci will talk about the importance of allowing emotion. She gives the you the 4 stages of working through feeling an emotion. 1. Awareness, 2. Acknowledge, 3. Accept 4. Understanding and Grace
