156: Unleashing Your Song: Self-Care, Authenticity, and Memoir with Marnie Marmet
Manage episode 453157904 series 3591753
In this episode, I speak with Marnie Marmet, the Founder of Zenful Life Coaching, about how she discovered her authentic voice, her go-to self-care rituals, and the journey of writing her memoir.
Self-care and internal work is an ongoing process. By sharing how Marnie lost her voice as a child to actively reclaiming it as an adult and a mother, Marnie reminds us that no one is perfect and we all have much to learn. One part of her unfolding process was taking a memoir writing class by chance, which led to her writing and publishing a book! We discuss how the publishing process forced her to confront some of her negative internal voices, some of which she had not even realized were there. She shares that undergoing this work in front of her children was one of the best choices she could have made as a parent. Modeling the importance of taking care of yourself internally is one of the healthiest things we can do as parents. Marnie walks us through some of her favorite daily self-care routines, such as getting up early, being in nature, and having boundaries with electronics. She reminds us how important it is to put our stories out in the world because we never know the impact they will have on others.
