1065 | I Learned Presence Is Not A Place
In this episode, Marsha explores what it really means to be Unbothered — and why it has far less to do with what’s happening around you and everything to do with what’s happening within you. While nearly 8,000 kilometres away from her husband as he competed in Greece, Marsha found herself practicing the very work she teaches: choosing to be fully present where she was instead of being pulled apart by guilt or internal conflict. She explores how different parts of us can want different things at the same time, creating an internal tug-of-war that drains our energy and keeps us from being fully present anywhere. This episode is a reminder that presence isn’t a location. Becoming Unbothered is learning to create that grounded state within yourself so you have more energy, clarity, and capacity for the people and experiences that matter.

1064 | Which Thought Train Are You Getting On?
In this episode, Marsha explores a simple but powerful idea: you don’t have to attach yourself to every thought that passes through your mind. Using the metaphor of trains constantly arriving and departing, she explains how our subconscious mind learns through images, repetition, and familiarity. The goal isn’t to stop the thought trains from coming — it’s to recognize which ones are taking you where you actually want to go. Marsha shares a personal example of leaving a business that felt familiar and safe but was no longer aligned, reminding us that familiar doesn’t always mean right. This episode is an invitation to notice the old thought trains without judgment, unhook from the ones that no longer serve you, and repeatedly choose the thoughts that support the identity and future you’re creating.

1063 | The Journey of Comeback Snacks with Emily O'Brien
In this episode, Marsha sits down with Emily O’Brien. Emily is the founder and CEO of Comeback Snacks, a Canadian popcorn company built on the belief that everyone deserves a second chance. What started as a personal comeback story has grown into a purpose-driven food brand now sold in more than 1,200 locations across Canada and the United States. Comeback Snacks is known for bold, craveable flavours, but Emily’s bigger mission is changing the way people think about second chances, entrepreneurship and the power of lived experience. Through Comeback Snacks and its Comeback Catalyst program, Emily advocates for formerly incarcerated people by creating pathways to employment, entrepreneurship and economic opportunity. The program has supported more than 130 participants across Canada, helping people turn their experiences into something that can move their lives forward. Emily is also a sought-after keynote speaker who brings humour, honesty and hard-earned lessons to conversations about resilience, leadership, entrepreneurship and overcoming adversity. Her story has been featured by CBC, CTV, Global, VICE, the Toronto Star and other national media. Whether she’s talking about business, leadership or life after a setback, Emily’s message is simple: your past may be part of your story, but it doesn’t have to write the ending.

1062 | You Can Only Reach As High As The Floor You’re Standing On
In this episode, Marsha explores why you may keep hitting the same ceiling — even when you’re using all the right strategies. The problem may not be the ceiling at all. It may be the floor you’re standing on: your belief system. Marsha shares why lasting expansion comes from strengthening that foundation by catching old thoughts, stacking evidence of what’s already working, and practicing the identity of the person you’re becoming. Using the image of an escalator, she explains that when you raise the floor, your next level rises with you — without constantly forcing, pushing, or bracing for more.

1061 | Why I Created the UNBOTHERED Room
In this episode, Marsha shares the deeper story behind Unbothered and the realization at the heart of this work: if you want to create a bigger vision for your life, you have to build the belief system that can hold it. She reflects on the moment at a Mel Robbins event when she heard the message to “think bigger,” the challenges of 2025 that forced her to pause, and how that season ultimately revealed that the answer wasn’t moving faster — it was strengthening her self-belief and support. Marsha shares how Unbothered evolved into a 10-step framework, subconscious tools, a Mastermind, and now The Unbothered Room — a space to practice this work in real life, one repetition and one stacked win at a time.
