Summary

This is a Fan Fav episode. Taking back control over your mind, and ultimately your life, starts with understanding just how powerful your thoughts really are. In this episode, I sit down with the legendary Marisa Peer—therapist, author, and creator of Rapid Transformational Therapy—to unpack the roots of negative self-talk, why so many of us default to self-criticism, and the three core needs that shape our confidence, purpose, and relationships. Marisa doesn’t just deliver theory—she gives practical language shifts, transformative childhood insights, and actionable strategies for catching, questioning, and rewriting the beliefs that hold women back. Truth: If you’ve ever struggled with feeling “not enough,” procrastination, anxiety, or toxic relationship patterns, this is your blueprint for breaking the cycle and creating a new, empowered story.
