972 | Writing The Book That Becomes Your Business Card

In this episode, Marsha shares how we can shift from the emotional and subconscious side of writing and into strategy. We explore the idea that your book can become your business card, and ultimately a doorway to opportunities you cannot yet see.

This isn’t about writing for ego or status. It’s about recognizing that your story carries weight. That it builds know-like-trust at scale. That it positions you for stages, podcasts, collaborations, programs, press, and impact in ways that social media alone never could.

Highlights

(01:12) – What if your book became your business card — not just a story, but a strategy?

(02:32) – Your book is a snapshot in time. You’re allowed to evolve beyond it.

(03:13) – Your book isn’t a final destination. It’s the beginning of your work.

(04:15) – You must grow into the version of you who can hold what your book opens up.

(05:10) – If your past self had seen your current reality, she might have been too scared to begin.

(06:02) – Writing a book creates long-term visibility — far beyond a single post.

(06:34) – Ask yourself: What do you want people to know about you three years from now?

(07:37) – Your story could be the exact answer someone has been searching for.

(08:20) – Your book can become a point of legacy that lives far beyond you.

(09:07) – The impact of a book can’t always be measured in dollars — but in doors opened.

(10:25) – 120 books didn’t mean 120 sales — it meant 120 potential ripple effects.

(11:04) – Your book may open doors you’re not meant to see yet.

What if the thing you keep avoiding is actually the doorway to your next level?

In this solo episode, you pull back the curtain on the internal resistance that shows up when growth is knocking. This is an honest, grounded conversation about the tension between comfort and expansion, the stories we cling to, and the subtle ways we sabotage the very things we say we want.

You explore what it really means to take responsibility for your life without shame, how to recognize when you’re playing small, and why clarity often comes after action, not before it.

This one is reflective, direct, and quietly activating.

Highlights

(02:14) – You open with the tension between knowing what you want and still hesitating to move toward it.

(05:37) – The difference between being productive and actually being aligned with your bigger vision.

(09:52) – How fear often shows up dressed as “logic” and convinces you to delay the very thing that would grow you.

(14:08) – The identity shift required when you decide you’re no longer available for your old patterns.

(18:26) – Why waiting to feel fully ready is a trap and how readiness is created through action.

(23:41) – The subtle ways high-capacity people self-sabotage while calling it responsibility.

(28:55) – What it looks like to take ownership without spiraling into shame.

(33:12) – The uncomfortable truth about outgrowing versions of yourself that once kept you safe.

(38:47) – How clarity tends to arrive after movement, not before it.

(44:03) – The moment you realize discomfort is actually evidence of expansion.

(49:18) – Reclaiming self-trust by making and honoring decisions, even small ones.

(54:36) – The closing invitation to stop negotiating with your potential and choose differently.
