948 | My 2025 Wrapped: The Identity-Shifting Year I Didn’t See Coming

In this episode, Marsha shares an unfiltered wrap up of her year through the lens of identity level growth. Inspired by a viral “Spotify Wrapped for your life” trend, she walks listeners through what it really looks like when your identity cracks open so your capacity can expand.

This was not a year of mild discomfort. It was a year of deep nervous system work, grief, growth, and profound internal rewiring. Marsha reflects on massive professional expansion, personal loss, shifting values, letting go of hustle, and learning to listen to her body instead of pushing through it.

This episode is a reminder that growth often feels destabilizing before it feels empowering, and that identity shifts are uncomfortable by design. If your year stretched you, broke you open, or forced you to change how you lead, rest, or relate to yourself, this conversation will land.
