I’m Katie from wellnessmama.com, and I’m right here in the present day with somebody who I’ve adopted for actually over a decade and have identified and, kind of, crossed paths with fairly a bit however by no means gotten to talk with in individual till in the present day. I’m right here with Marie Forleo, who was named by Oprah as a thought chief for the following technology.

We discuss studying to take heed to that small voice inside our instinct even when we’re scared. She talks concerning the present of failure and her acronym for that being a Devoted Try in Studying and how you can reframe and study even when issues get robust. She talks about the concept that readability comes from engagement, not from thought. We discuss taking duty for our lives and the distinction between fault and duty. After which we discuss time administration and essentially the most highly effective phrases within the universe. So it was, like I mentioned, a pleasure to get to speak to Marie. I’ve identified her for a very long time within the enterprise world, and it was a pleasure to talk together with her in individual in the present day. So with none additional wait, let’s be a part of Marie. Marie, welcome. Thanks a lot for being right here.
Marie: Oh my goodness, Katie, thanks a lot for having me. It’s an honor.
Katie: Properly, I’m excited to study from you in the present day, and a lot we will cowl. I’ve adopted you for actually over a decade, so very excited to talk with you in the present day. Earlier than we bounce into all of the enjoyable stuff although, I’ve a be aware that you simply have been an authentic member of the Smurfs Fan Membership, and I’ve to listen to about this as a result of it is a reality about you I didn’t know.
Marie: So, I used to be obsessive about the Smurfs after I was slightly child. You recognize, I used to be a toddler of the ’80s and, after all, the ’90s slightly bit in a while, and the Smurfs have been simply these actually magical little characters, and I used to be enthralled with the present. So, after all, anytime my dad and mom would take me out and there was doubtlessly, like, the little Smurf collectible figurines that have been obtainable at the moment, I’d get them, and I’d beg for as many as doable. After which, I don’t understand how I discovered, Katie, about this, however there was, like, an authentic fan membership the place they might ship you a printed publication. I bear in mind, like, I believe the signup present was a blue Velcro little pockets. It was this complete factor, and they might have totally different tales within the publication. And I don’t understand how I realized about it, however I made my dad and mom get it for me. I’m certain it was actually cheap, however it was tremendous cool. And after I give it some thought now by way of entrepreneurship and the place we’re, you recognize, 30, nearly 40 years later, you recognize, continuity, Netflix, all of the issues that have you ever subscribe to them, I’m like, “The Smurfs have been doing this fashion again within the day. They have been forward of the curve.” So, it was a very enjoyable reminiscence from my childhood. And I nonetheless have about 80 or so collectible figurines collected that I cannot let go of.
Katie: Oh my gosh, that’s so enjoyable, and doubtless an early entrepreneurship lesson earlier than you even considered it as such.
Marie: Completely. It planted some seeds.
Katie: I really like that. Properly, on the be aware of entrepreneurship, I’ve heard you discuss earlier than about sort of your entrepreneurial journey and the way what you realized in class didn’t essentially put together you for what you have been gonna do in grownup life. And that is one thing I discuss so much from a mother’s perspective, and in addition I take into consideration so much with my very own youngsters. So, I’d like to sort of to begin with hear slightly bit about your journey for individuals who aren’t conversant in you, and possibly some recommendation for mothers who’re, like, desirous to possibly department out into that entrepreneurial world.
Marie: Sure. So, for me, you recognize, I’ve all the time been an individual that has a variety of power. I all the time needed to earn residing and I needed to make a distinction on the earth, however I didn’t fairly understand how to try this. And I don’t suppose that our present academic system prepares us very nicely as younger individuals to determine precisely who we’re and the way we will contribute greatest on this explicit society. And so after I graduated from faculty, my first gig was on Wall Avenue, on the ground of the New York Inventory Change, and I used to be actually grateful to have that job. I’m the primary in my household to ever go to school, so it was like this large honor to be in such a mecca, a sort of place of a lot power and focus, you recognize, in the course of Manhattan in New York Metropolis. And I bear in mind going to work every single day, Katie, and, like, placing on my sport face, proper? And doing my best to deliver my power, and to try to study, and to be obtainable, however it was a very attention-grabbing surroundings. To begin with, it was 99.9% male. It was fairly intense and harsh. There was, you recognize, simply a variety of guys fairly frankly, coming onto me on a regular basis and making an attempt to battle to be taken significantly. I truly even at that time, I had actually lengthy hair after I obtained there, and one in all my strategies for making an attempt to get to be taken significantly was I truly minimize off all my hair, and I had a pixie minimize, as a result of it was identical to, I used to be making an attempt to be like, “Don’t take a look at the skin, like I wanna be right here to carry out.”
And I began noticing a couple of issues. One was that whereas the oldsters round me financially made monumental quantities of cash, like more cash than I might have ever imagined in my life, I obtained the sense that spiritually and emotionally they have been bankrupt. And the best way I figured that out was that they might pine for these two weeks off yearly, and that’s the one factor that they might take into consideration, you recognize, after which at about 4:00 every single day, the bell would ring, and principally what you probably did was you go to strip golf equipment and also you begin snorting cocaine. And it was identical to this whole tradition, this sort of poisonous tradition. And I stored listening to this voice within me, Katie, that’s like, “This isn’t who you’re. This isn’t what you’re meant to do. This isn’t who you’re presupposed to be.” However that little small voice inside additionally wasn’t telling me what else I used to be presupposed to do as a substitute. And in order that voice stored whispering and whispering, however it stored getting louder and louder, and I attempted to push it away and ignore it as a result of once more, this was a gentle job, well being advantages, a paycheck, issues that almost all of us could be very grateful for.
Till at some point I bear in mind being on the ground and I began to really feel actually bodily unwell. I had hassle respiration, I used to be slightly dizzy, and now I can look again on it and see that I used to be having slightly little bit of a panic assault, however on the time I didn’t have that language. And I mentioned to my boss, I mentioned, “Hey, is it okay if I simply run exterior and go get some espresso, I’ll be again in 5 minutes?” He’s like, “No downside.” And so, Katie, I left the ground and I didn’t go to get espresso, however I made a beeline to the closest church. It was truly Trinity Church on the nook of Broadway. And I had simply graduated from a Catholic college, and so I had been educated at that time, you recognize, in a second of disaster that you simply lookup for some assist, for some steering. And I bear in mind sitting on that church, on the church steps, and crying my eyes out. I had like a kind of darkish blue blazers on with the little badge on the aspect that every one the merchants had. And I felt like such a failure as a result of I knew how fortunate I used to be to have a job, and I didn’t wanna deliver disgrace upon my household as a result of they labored so laborious to place me in class, however the reality was I used to be depressing and I couldn’t make sense of it.
And so the primary piece of steering that I obtained was to name my dad as a result of he, particularly, was somebody who I didn’t wanna disappoint as a result of I noticed my total life how laborious he labored to care for our household, and the considered me identical to quitting a job and never having every other approach to assist myself sounded actually disrespectful. And so I known as my dad and I used to be sobbing and doing the ugly cry with the snots coming outta the nostril, and I used to be like, “Dad, I’m so sorry however I hate it, and I don’t wanna do that, and I don’t wanna deliver disgrace on our household.” And I used to be on a flip telephone on the time. You gotta get that is the late ’90s. And I took a pause, and he broke in, and he’s like, “Rie, you gotta settle down, cease crying.” He’s like, “You’ve been working because you have been 9 years previous. You’ve been babysitting since you possibly can exit and babysit. I’m not nervous about you discovering a approach to maintain a roof over your head.” He goes, “However you need to take heed to me. You’re gonna be working for the following at the very least 40 years of your life and you need to discover one thing that you simply love as a result of whenever you discover one thing that you simply like to do, you’re by no means gonna really feel like this. It’s not even gonna really feel like work. Certain, it’s gonna be laborious at instances, however it’s not gonna make you bodily unwell. And so if this job is making you this sick, and also you’re listening to these voices inside that inform you it’s not for you, then it is advisable have the braveness to stop and discover what you’re meant to do.”
And, you recognize, he didn’t promise me that I might come house. He was very clear that I used to be gonna must determine it out alone, however Katie, he gave me such an enormous permission slip in that second. And regardless that I didn’t have a solution for what I used to be presupposed to do as a substitute, that reality that he spoke, that I used to be gonna be working for the following at the very least 40 years of my life, and that I needed to make it my mission to determine what I used to be gonna love, actually rang true for me, regardless that I didn’t know how you can execute on that. And so what I did subsequent was I simply sort of took a step again and I mentioned, “Okay. I’ve all the time been a really artistic individual.” After I was younger, I studied artwork. I assumed I used to be gonna be an animator or a positive artist as an grownup, however I additionally actually beloved enterprise and I beloved commerce, and there was one thing about that power that basically attracted me as nicely. And so I mentioned, “Okay. Properly, what’s the world that places two of those collectively?” Girls’s magazines and publishing. There’s the promoting aspect, there’s the editorial aspect. I mentioned, “Okay. That is in all probability the place I ought to go subsequent.” And so I labored for a temp company and I instructed them, “Please, any journal you may get me into, simply get a foot within the door.”
And I finally obtained a place as an advert gross sales assistant at “Gourmand” journal, which was a part of Conde Nast Publications. I used to be actually excited. Acquired into this new surroundings. This was rather more balanced, proper? Moderately than 99.9% males, it was truly ladies who have been main the staff. There was a lady writer. My direct boss was a lady who was unimaginable. And I used to be like, “Okay. That is superior, proper? That is, like, the place I’m presupposed to be. That is gonna be superb.” And I began doing my work, and people voices got here again once more, Katie, like, “Marie, this isn’t who you’re. This isn’t what you’re presupposed to do. This isn’t who you’re presupposed to be.” And I used to be beginning to really feel panicked inside as a result of it’s not like I didn’t wanna work, I used to be a really laborious employee, however I couldn’t cease this voice that began getting louder and louder, and I additionally couldn’t deny the truth that I discovered it actually boring going to the identical place day in and time out. However once more, I had that interior battle. So grateful to have a job, so grateful to have a paycheck, so grateful to have the well being advantages, however my soul felt prefer it was dying.
So, I stepped again and I mentioned, “Okay. This positively isn’t it.” I mentioned, “Properly, what if I’ve simply been leaning an excessive amount of on my, sort of, businessy aspect?” I used to be on Wall Avenue, it’s a variety of numbers. Advert gross sales is a variety of numbers, very large emphasis on gross sales and assembly quotas. I mentioned, “What if my creativity’s ravenous?” So, I went to the HR division and mentioned, “Hey, when you have any positions on the editorial aspect of any journal, even when it’s decrease pay, I’ll take it.” I simply needed the expertise. I needed the chance. So, finally a job got here alongside at “Mademoiselle” journal, a vogue journal, and I used to be like, “Oh my goodness. This has gotta be it, proper? I’m gonna be working with designers, going to vogue exhibits, like, photograph shoots, all this factor. It’s a dream job for any younger lady in New York Metropolis.” And so I get the job, and for some time it was, it was thrilling, it was actually enjoyable. I met all types of recent individuals. However as soon as once more, these voices got here again, “Marie, this isn’t who you’re. This isn’t what you’re presupposed to do. This isn’t what you’re meant to be.”
And Katie, I’ve to inform you this, at that time, I began to panic. I used to be like, “Am I damaged? Is there one thing, like, cognitively fallacious with me?” Why, when all of my different pals…and this was a couple of years that had passed by since I had graduated faculty. Everyone’s getting promotions, everyone’s getting married and having youngsters, they’re sort of constructing these full lives, and right here I’m desirous to stop once more. And so, it was actually changing into disturbing, and I felt like such a loser to be fairly trustworthy with you. And at some point I used to be on the web in all probability after I shouldn’t have been, and I stumbled upon an article a few new career on the time known as life teaching. You need to get for context, that is 1999. That is earlier than anyone had heard of this. And after I learn this text about this new career that you possibly can work from anyplace, that you’d strategically assist individuals construct into these large, vibrant futures, I’m not kidding, it was as if the clouds parted and little angels got here out and shot sunbeams into my coronary heart. It was like, “Ah.” And that little voice inside was like, “Marie, that is who you’re. That is what you’re meant to do. That is who you’re presupposed to be.”
However within the subsequent breath, the essential voice in my thoughts took over and it appeared like this, “Marie, who do you suppose you’re to do that? Who the heck is gonna rent a 23-year-old life coach? You haven’t even lived a life but. You’re piles and piles in debt. You may’t appear to carry down a job. This is only one extra silly factor that you simply’re going after that you simply’re gonna fail at.” So, I had all that negativity inside, and fairly frankly, it sounded logical, and it made a variety of sense as a result of the details backed it up. However on the similar time, I couldn’t deny how proper this felt in my bones, and I couldn’t deny how I felt like I used to be catching a glimpse into my future, even when it didn’t make logical sense.
And so, what I did was I truly did a very sensible transfer, which for all of your listeners, if they’re both aspiring entrepreneurs, or they’re entrepreneurs trying to take it to that subsequent degree, that is one thing that I did that I’ll all the time thank myself for, is I took motion in that second, I invested in myself, and I signed up for a three-year coach coaching program. Couple issues that have been necessary there. Within the environments that I had been in earlier to that, Katie, I wasn’t actually round entrepreneurs, proper? All of my pals have been in additional normal company jobs. And there’s nothing fallacious with normal company jobs, they’re superb, it’s simply not a match for who I used to be or who I used to be presupposed to be. And so, I couldn’t get out of that modality of considering as a result of I wasn’t having conversations, I wasn’t seeing anybody else residing into a distinct chance, so it was actually laborious for me to vary my very own considering and habits. And after I signed up for that coach coaching program, I began to actually perceive what was doable for me exterior of every part I skilled earlier than.
And so, about six months glided by and finally the HR division known as me they usually had this enormous promotion for me at “Vogue” journal. And so, this, Katie, was my fork within the highway. Do I keep on this secure path of working for magazines after which saying sure to this promotion, which was much more cash and extra status and, you recognize, sort of residing my life for what different individuals would consider me and, you recognize, “Oh, take a look at how nice her job is, and it’s so glamorous,” and XYZ, or would I stop and do that fully bizarre, unprecedented life teaching factor that I do not know how you can do and that I’d in all probability fail at, however that felt proper? And so I considered it for in all probability two minutes. I turned down that promotion. I stop working at magazines, and I went again to ready tables and bartending, which is how I helped put myself by means of faculty, and I dedicated to constructing my enterprise throughout the day. And in order that was over 22 years in the past, and it was top-of-the-line choices I’ve ever made.
Katie: I really like that story as a result of it, like, actually exhibits the interior wrestle that you simply went by means of in figuring that out that I believe resonates with lots of people. And I do know for me, I had an analogous expertise of that second of shifting, of realizing it wasn’t about being …I heard this that it’s not about being descendant, however changing into ancestor and, like, making your future self, and making when you have them, your youngsters proud, not residing for what the expectations of the previous are of you, which I believe additionally typically places you in alignment with, like, you’ve got that concern round your loved ones not approving, however typically it results in a greater relationship together with your dad and mom as nicely in the long run. I’d love to listen to when you have any suggestions for individuals on studying to take heed to and nurture that voice inside? As a result of I really feel like typically it may be laborious to listen to. And it additionally sounds such as you had some imposter syndrome whenever you first began, and I do know it is a large factor for anyone who’s making an attempt to make that leap into a brand new something. So, any tips about listening to our interior voice or getting by means of imposter syndrome?
Marie: Yeah. So, one of many issues about imposter syndrome first is that analysis exhibits that as much as 70% of us expertise it, some type of feeling like we don’t have what it takes to do the factor that we actually wanna do, or if we have now achieved some degree of success, we’re afraid that everybody’s gonna discover out that we don’t know what the heck we’re doing, and that we’re fully mendacity, and we’re a complete fraud, and we’re gonna lose every part that we’ve labored so laborious for, that we don’t essentially need to be across the folks that we’re round, we don’t essentially need to advance, we don’t have what it takes to achieve these highest ranges.
So, if anybody right here is experiencing that, anybody listening proper now, I simply need you to know that you simply’re in superb firm. A few of, like, our most celebrated artists, everybody from J.Lo, I consider, to Jodie Foster, to Maya Angelou, you recognize, individuals who have made unimaginable influence on our tradition in several methods have very clearly acknowledged that they’ve felt that in some ways, and I believe it’s significantly robust for ladies that we will typically really feel simply based mostly on a lot historical past going again lots of if not hundreds of years, the place principally in most of our cultures we don’t have a variety of energy, and it’s solely pretty lately that we’re entering into sure rooms, or we’re asserting our value, or we’re main in ways in which we haven’t essentially led earlier than, that it’s actually a factor to concentrate to as a result of it might probably result in underearning, undercharging, and actually not valuing your value, and in addition not giving your self permission to benefit from the fruits of your labor, and giving your self permission to talk up and to take a stand for the imaginative and prescient that you’ve got to your firm or your neighborhood or your loved ones at giant.
So, that’s just a bit little bit of an underscore on this notion of imposter syndrome, however I wanna communicate to how can we begin to take heed to our instinct as a result of that’s actually large. I’ve such a gratitude for my mother on this. You recognize, I grew up in New Jersey, and the place I grew up as a younger woman, it was doable for me to stroll to high school, and I used to be all the time a really unbiased one, proper? And I needed to go to high school alone, even when…I used to be like 4-and-a-half after I began kindergarten, so I used to be younger, and my mother was like, “There’s no means I’m letting you stroll to high school.” Regardless that it was a pair blocks, she’s like, “No.” And finally, I believe I used to be like 5-and-a-half, possibly 6, the place I used to be like, “You gotta let me stroll to high school.”
And so we might have these battles, and she or he instructed me this, and it was the start of me understanding that all of us have this little voice inside and studying how you can belief it, and she or he instructed me, she mentioned, “Look, I’ll allow you to stroll to high school for those who make me this promise, that for those who’re ever strolling alongside the trail and also you’re not gonna go off the highway, you’re gonna go straight to high school, that if anybody ever pulls up alongside you or tries to speak to you and you’ve got slightly voice inside that claims, ‘Run,’ or that claims, ‘You’re not secure,’ you’re gonna take heed to it and also you’re gonna run, otherwise you’re gonna scream, otherwise you’re gonna do no matter.” And she or he mentioned, “If anybody ever pulls up in a automobile and tells you to get in and also you hear that little voice says one thing goes…an alarm going off,” she taught me, she mentioned, “that’s God talking on to you. You might have a direct line. You don’t essentially have to go to church, you don’t have to open it,” however she was like, “that’s the direct line.” And so I realized this, Katie, all through my complete life that there was this factor as an interior voice, and she or he instructed me, “Once you take heed to it, it is going to all the time lead you on the best path. And for those who fail to take heed to it otherwise you ignore it, there’s gonna be ache and struggling.”
And so among the suggestions are, primary, I believe most of us have that consciousness of some kind of voice inside. And I believe for those who don’t really feel like they’ve one or they don’t know how you can take heed to it as nicely, in the event that they’re not as practiced with it, place to start out is to suppose again by means of your historical past, sort of undergo the file folders in your thoughts. Was there a time which you can bear in mind the place there was an interior alarm going off, one thing telling you, “Mm-mm, don’t say sure to being with that individual, or that specific deal, or occurring that journey,” or no matter it was that you simply overrode that feeling or that little voice as a result of some a part of your ego needed to be happy, or somebody instructed you, “No, you will need to say sure. That is the perfect alternative ever.” Or there was some kind of, I’d say ego-based carrot that was hanging in entrance of you that you simply simply drove proper by means of it and then you definitely paid the worth, whether or not it was a painful lesson, or there was truly cash loss concerned, or another sort of problem the place you’re like, “Gosh darn it, I ought to’ve listened to that little voice.” As a result of I believe if we glance in our previous, all of us have examples of that, and that provides you the proof it is advisable go, “Oh, that’s what my voice feels like.”
And right here’s one other tip that’s been true for me in my world. My interior voice, she’s not panicked, she’s additionally not essential. She’s very sensible, she’s very persistent, however she doesn’t communicate to me harshly, she doesn’t belittle me, she doesn’t criticize me or different individuals. It’s simply this nonetheless small sensible nudge that comes from inside, and it’ll get louder and stronger, however she’ll by no means scream and she or he’ll by no means yell. And if my ego or thoughts desires to override her, then she doesn’t even say I instructed you so. It’s identical to, “It’s okay, simply hear carefully subsequent time.”
Katie: I really like that. And I additionally know that it looks like a variety of your message, which I believe is a very powerful half, is the mindset piece as a result of, you recognize, we will discuss ways and technique all day lengthy, however I really feel just like the mindset is the motive force of a variety of that. And also you clarify a lot about mindset so nicely, and I do know you’ve got coached actually hundreds of individuals in relation to mindset and enterprise. And I really like your saying, “Every part is figureoutable,” and your e book by the identical identify. So, I’d like to sort of delve into that, particularly for individuals who possibly don’t have that mindset naturally. How will we domesticate that mentality that every part is figureoutable? And as a secondary to that, how will we assist our kids domesticate that from a younger age? As a result of I believe as somebody who grew to become an entrepreneur as an grownup, I needed to develop a variety of these mindset items in a while, and undo some issues I realized in childhood. And so I believe so much about how do I domesticate this in my youngsters when it looks like they arrive out of the field with so a lot of these items naturally, and we kind of untrain a few of that, however how will we domesticate this in ourselves and in our kids?
Marie: That’s an ideal query. So, I wanna discuss briefly, simply inform a fast story about the place the phrase got here from as a result of I believe it additionally may very well be illustrative of how we will train our kids or train anybody round us this mindset with out essentially doing it so explicitly. So, I obtained this from my mother who’s an unimaginable lady. She had a very robust life rising up. She grew up the daughter of two alcoholic dad and mom within the tasks of Newark, New Jersey, and she or he actually realized how you can stretch a greenback invoice across the block by necessity. And she or he had made herself a promise that when she was ready, when she grew up, that she would discover a approach to make a greater life. And Katie, one in all my favourite reminiscences with my mother was sitting at our kitchen desk on Sundays clipping out coupons. Like, my mother beloved to indicate me all of the totally different ways in which our household might lower your expenses. She’s one of the frugal individuals you’ll ever meet.
And she or he additionally, she instructed me, she mentioned, you recognize, “In the event you save up…” what have been often called proofs of buy, I don’t know for those who have been conversant in these, however principally they’re like, you recognize, little playing cards on the aspect of a carton or on a cereal field, that for those who save them up and also you mailed them in, manufacturers would ship you possibly cooking utensils or measuring spoons or a free cookbook or one thing like that. And one in all my mother’s favourite possessions was this tiny little AM/FM transistor radio that she obtained free of charge from Tropicana orange juice. So, it seemed like an orange. It had a crimson and white straw sticking outta the aspect. That was the antenna. And this factor was like her greatest good friend in product type. It was like her get it achieved buddy. And I all the time knew that I might discover my mother someplace round the home or someplace across the yard by listening for the sound of this teeny little radio.
In the future I used to be strolling house from faculty and I heard, like, music blaring off from the space, which was common. My mother loves to bop and loves music. And as I stroll house and I get nearer, I seen the music was coming from a bizarre orientation. It was coming from excessive up above. And I’d lookup and I see my mother perched precariously on the roof of our two-story home. I don’t see a ladder, I do not know how she obtained up there. And there’s simply her and this little tiny orange sitting subsequent to her butt. And I used to be like, “Mother, are you okay? What occurred? How did you stand up there?” And my mother yells down, she’s like, “Rie, don’t fear about it. I’m positive.” She’s like, “I noticed that our roof had a leak. I known as the roofer. He mentioned it was gonna be like 500 bucks. I mentioned, ‘Screw that. I’m gonna do it myself.’” This was my mother.
One other day I come house from faculty and I get to my home and I hear there’s like music blaring from the again. And so I push open the door and I’m going to the again and it’s like, “I’m each lady.” You recognize, and I’m going, and it seems she’s within the lavatory. And so I push open the toilet and there’s mud particles within the air, and there’s pipes coming outta the wall. Like, it seemed like a freaking bomb went off. And I used to be like, “Mother, what’s occurring? Are you okay?” And she or he’s like, “Rie, don’t fear about it.” She’s like, “All of the tiles, that they had some cracks in them. I didn’t need the entire lavatory to get moldy, so I’m retiling the toilet.” So, Katie, you need to perceive that that is the Eighties, proper? So this is sort of a pre-internet, pre-YouTube, pre-Google sort of world. She didn’t have entry to any of it, and she or he’s additionally solely highschool educated.
So, at some point, it was within the fall truly, and I used to be coming house from faculty and it was darkish already, so it was slightly spooky. And as I approached my home, one thing was totally different, one thing was fallacious. It was fully darkish, and…So, I stroll into the home, afraid of what I would discover, and I begin listening to all these little click on, click on, clack, click on, click on, clack. And I observe the sound of those clicks and clacks into the kitchen. And I see my mother hunched over the kitchen desk, and it seems to be like an working room. She’s obtained screwdrivers, she’s obtained electrical tape, after which in a few dozen items is a very dismantled Tropicana Orange.
And I stood there, and I used to be like, “Mother, are you okay? Like, that’s your favourite factor. What occurred? Is it broke?” And she or he simply put down her screwdrivers, and she or he checked out me, she’s like, “Rie, don’t fear about it. Every part’s positive. You recognize, the antenna was slightly off, and the tuner was busted, so I’m fixing it.”
And I stood there, Katie, watching her work her magic for a couple of minutes, after which I lastly thought to ask the query I ought to have all the time requested, which was this, “Hey, mother. How have you learnt how to take action many various issues that you simply’ve by no means achieved earlier than, however no person’s exhibiting you how you can do it?” And she or he places every part down, she seems to be at me and she or he says, “Rie, what are you speaking about? Nothing in life is that difficult. You are able to do something you set your thoughts to for those who simply roll up your sleeves, you get in there, and also you do it. Every part is figureoutable.”
And I used to be like, “Every part is figureoutable? Like, every part is figureoutable? Oh my goodness, every part is figureoutable.” And so, all these little connections began making place, like, from, you recognize, at that specific time it was simply making an attempt to determine who I used to be on the earth. After which after I obtained older, you recognize, making an attempt to determine how do I even get into faculty, to how you can get my first jobs, to how you can get out of poisonous relationships, and get into new ones, and finally how you can begin the enterprise that I’ve in the present day.
And so, this little phrase, “Every part is figureoutable,” is so highly effective. I don’t suppose, Katie, there’s a day that goes by that I don’t use it personally or within the enterprise. And, you recognize, you had requested this query about how will we train this to our children and, you recognize, how can we embed this in ourselves? And I believe for me, the best way that I’ve achieved it, the best way that I’ve taught it to myself, and I maintain reinforcing it, after which additionally educating it to my staff, and having it’s alive in my household, is we actually say it out loud.
You recognize, the shiitake hits the fan for all of us so many instances, proper? In small methods, in large methods. And the second that one thing occurs the place you end up in a nook, once more, it may very well be, you recognize, a scheduling mishap the place you’re, like, “Oh my goodness, I tousled,” to one thing actually extraordinary that may be difficult past difficult, to take a deep breath, and to say to your self or out loud for those who’re with different individuals, “Every part is figureoutable. We could not have the reply proper now, however we’re gonna have the ability to create it, we’re gonna have the ability to discover it, we’re gonna have the ability to work collectively to create a means out of this, to rework it or transcend it.”
That phrase has a means of calming your amygdala, of getting you get again in contact together with your prefrontal cortex, which normally goes offline anytime we’re in extraordinary areas of stress or strain or in struggle or flight. And so, saying every part is figureoutable is a very sensible and efficient approach to marshal your individual assets, to remind your self of your energy, after which to additionally remind your self that you simply don’t must determine it out by yourself. That you simply don’t essentially must have the solutions, however you’ll be able to create the solutions, and you’ve got individuals and assist round you that can enable you to discover a means forward.
Katie: I really like that. It feels like your mother was an superior mannequin in that. And doubtless that’s one other good thing we will internalize as dad and mom, is that if we mannequin it, the youngsters are additionally extra prone to choose it up as a lesson than even when we simply inform them. And I believe again as you have been telling that story of issues like studying how you can change the flooring in my bed room myself, simply because I used to be like, “Properly, I might wait six weeks, and have another person do that, or I might simply do it tomorrow if I determine it out.”
And it ended up being an ideal bonding expertise with the youngsters, they usually realized how you can use saws, and we realized how you can use all of the instruments, and it was a lot enjoyable. Fortunately, we now have some great benefits of YouTube and Google to show us all these items, however that’s so spectacular that your mother figured it out on her personal.
And I believe one other sort of puzzle piece that goes proper together with that one is the lesson of embracing failure. And I do know you’ve talked about this as nicely, or at the very least not being afraid of failure. I do know I grew up in a really academic-oriented family the place that was the main target, and failure wasn’t an choice. Like, a 98 was not a ok grade in a category. Like, there was a variety of strain there.
And I needed to study as an grownup to embrace the teachings of failure and understand at instances, like, nothing’s gonna end up good the primary time each time, and to embrace the teachings of failure. However I believe that’s a factor that may journey a variety of us up as nicely, and the factor that as youngsters grow old can turn into scary for them. So, how have you ever realized to coexist in a contented means with failure and study from it?
Marie: Yeah, so failure, I’ve this acronym, and we discuss this within the e book, “Every part is Figureoutable,” however failure and simply the phrase fail could be seen by means of the lens of it’s a devoted try in studying. That’s it. A devoted try in studying. And whenever you take a look at it by means of that lens, you’re truly fairly courageous, you’re brave, you’re robust as a result of you’ve got moved by means of the inertia of being the place you’re and mentioned, “Oh, I believe there could be one other means,” or, “I believe this might work,” or, “I believe this may get me out of my ache,” or, “I believe this may produce the expansion that I’m so enthusiastic about.”
And so, for those who take a look at fail as a devoted try in studying, you’re truly nonetheless on the training journey, after which you should use no matter that ache was, or the frustration, or the embarrassment, or no matter may very well be deemed as “unfavorable” as some suggestions to say, “Okay, you’re nonetheless in your studying journey.” I do know for me, like, I’m studying each single day.
There’s instances when whether or not I’m following a recipe, or I’m doing one thing in my enterprise and I’ve this concept that it might probably work, however it could be a flop. And I’m like, “Okay, now I’ve a call to make.” Am I gonna let that cease me? No, I’m gonna maintain shifting. I’m gonna say, “What can I extract from this ache within the you recognize what?” Proper? How can I squeeze no matter juice or lesson or perception out of this little bit of uncomfortability or disappointment or rejection or embarrassment, and use it to get higher?
And so, there’s a few nice sayings, and I don’t know precisely who phrased this, it positively wasn’t me, however it’s like, winners truly fail much more than losers do as a result of winners are all the time doing one thing, they usually’re all the time making an attempt one thing. And so, the quantity of fails that they’ve are many, however that’s how they get to be “winners” within the sense that they’re all the time rising, they’re all the time experiencing one thing new, they’re all the time stretching themselves to their outer limits. And other people, I believe, who’re afraid to even attempt as a result of they’re so afraid of failure, discover themselves residing with a variety of remorse, and feeling and experiencing a lot smaller lives than they’re able to.
Katie: And that dovetails with one thing else I’ve heard you discuss so much about, which is taking motion to realize readability versus ready till we have now readability to take motion. And I believe, like, small examples in my home, like if I simply begin cleansing one thing or begin a brand new challenge, I then have the momentum to determine how you can do the remainder of it. Versus if I’m simply making an attempt to take a seat there and get caught within the loop of, like, figuring all of it out except I simply begin taking motion. However this is applicable, I really feel like, in each space of life.
Marie: Yeah. So, that is… I stay my life by mantras. As somebody with ADHD, my mind can go in a variety of totally different instructions without delay. So, mantras are a very sensible means for me to assist maintain myself on monitor, and for me to assist internalize sure nuggets of knowledge that I’ve discovered to be actually enlivening and energizing, and true over time.
And so, one in all my favorites is that this, readability comes from engagement, not thought. Readability comes from engagement, not thought. So, what does that imply? Which means for those who’re inquisitive about a brand new enterprise, for those who’re inquisitive about hiring somebody, or experiencing what it might be like so as to add somebody to your staff, or to discover a brand new interest, or to attempt one thing with your loved ones, or possibly there’s a brand new parenting approach, or a brand new fashion of consuming, or a brand new exercise, fairly than taking place the analysis rabbit gap for every week or a month or six months, and speaking to everyone about their opinion of it, readability comes from engagement, not thought.
How will you get an motion as shortly as doable? Are you able to volunteer? Are you able to join a category? Are you able to go and try to begin redoing your flooring, even when it won’t end up that nicely? What’s a means which you can take an motion to bodily begin to get the suggestions for your self of whether or not or not it is a path so that you can proceed on, and to not have the stakes be so excessive, proper? You don’t must guess the farm.
In the event you’re inquisitive about a enterprise, that doesn’t imply that you need to take all your life financial savings and pour it into your first concept. It could be round signing up for a category. It may very well be round getting a job with an entrepreneur and, like, testing out a brand new trade. There are actually limitless methods which you can activate on this notion that readability comes from engagement, not thought. And I all the time encourage individuals to take action and make it low stakes, make it in order that it’s enjoyable so that you simply’re approaching it like a artistic scientist. And what you’re serious about is the suggestions of whether or not or not it seems like a sure for you, or whether or not or not it seems like a no.
And there’s yet another layer that I haven’t talked about. I don’t ever suppose I’ve taught about this, however I believe it’s actually necessary. Readability comes from engagement, not thought. Let’s say that you simply’re desirous to get into a brand new type of train. Let’s say that yoga is a factor that’s been enticing to you, however you’re like, “Oh, I don’t suppose I’m a yoga individual,” and then you definitely say, “Okay, readability comes from engagement, not thought. I’m gonna go join that yoga class on the native Y.” And also you go to that yoga class, and for no matter cause, you don’t have the perfect trainer for you on that day. They could be a beautiful human, however it’s simply not the perfect trainer for you.
And so, I’d say readability comes from engagement not thought. In the event you nonetheless have this pull to expertise one thing, don’t stop too quickly. Just be sure you give your self sufficient alternative to experiment with sufficient several types of individuals, or sufficient totally different experiences to actually get that readability you want. And I’ve two examples to again this up.
So, one, I used to be engaged on a selected challenge lately earlier this 12 months the place it was discovering a artistic author to assist one thing that I had already achieved and had already created, and simply needed to do sort of an iteration on it. And I used to be all the time skeptical of getting different individuals assist as a result of I’m actually explicit with my work and I’m actually, actually particular about how I like my phrases to be shaped collectively, particularly within the written type, you recognize, my books and every part like that.
And so, we’d labored with one individual and she or he was pretty, however it didn’t end up the best way I needed it to, Katie. And I used to be like, “Oh, I…see, it’s not gonna work. It’s actually not gonna work.” After which I spoke with one other good friend and colleague, and he’s like, “What are you speaking about? That’s only one individual, I do know 30 others.” And he obtained me. He’s like, “Can I please experiment with you?” I used to be like, “Yeah, after all. Like, I wanna breakthrough on this.” And he was capable of finding me another person who truly was the best match.
So, it’s this notion of not quitting too quickly. If there may be an space that you simply wanna discover, whether or not it’s in your profession or in your private life, readability comes from engagement, not thought. Don’t simply take one class, don’t simply attempt it one time. If it’s actually necessary to you, and if it’s actually necessary to your ardour and the place you wanna go, attempt a bunch of various issues earlier than you truly say, “No, it’s not for me.”
Katie: Such good recommendation. And I really feel like that additionally touches on one thing we talked about at first with you, like iterating your profession path so many instances, which is the concept of sort of taking that excessive duty for our lives, for our feelings, for the trajectory of our lives. And also you’ve talked about this so nicely prior to now too, of, like, the distinction between fault and duty, and getting into, like, possession and duty for our lives.
And I’ve mentioned on social media earlier than, issues like alongside the traces of happiness is a selection. And I’ve had individuals come again and say, “Properly, that’s straightforward so that you can say, you’ve by no means misplaced a toddler, which I even have.” However issues like that. I’m like, I believe truly these actually robust examples are good illustration of how we do even have that selection, and we do have that duty. Not that we’re free from the laborious issues in life, however that we have now a lot freedom and duty in what we select to do with it. And so, I’d love to listen to your tackle that, taking excessive duty for our lives.
Marie: Yeah. And it’s a very necessary distinction that you simply talked about there. So, right here’s the factor. None of us are going to flee ache or hardship, or issues which are gonna happen which are exterior of our management. We’re gonna have loss, we’re gonna have grief, we’re going to have experiences that rock us to our core. And nearly each individual I’ve ever met, any individual that I’ve ever interviewed or labored with or studied or admired or had a dialog with has historic trauma. They’ve issues which were actually, actually tough to work by means of.
And it doesn’t matter your socioeconomic standing, it doesn’t matter the place you have been born, it doesn’t matter how a lot cash you earn, or your training, like, this is among the nice equalizers in human expertise, and we have to have compassion for everybody. So, all that’s true. And one of many best freedoms that we have now as human beings, and one of many best presents that I consider that we have been gifted is that this skill to decide on how we’re gonna reply.
And so, taking duty for the standard of your life doesn’t imply that you simply make your self fallacious or at fault, or that you simply blame your self for something that has occurred to you, particularly these issues which are far exterior of your management that you’d by no means want in your worst enemy. However taking duty to your expertise of life merely signifies that you faucet again into your coronary heart and also you bear in mind that you’ve got the facility to decide on the way you’re gonna reply from right here on out, who you’re gonna select to be in response to what has occurred, and the way you’re going to indicate up for the following steps of your life. That’s what it means. And I believe that’s a really, crucial distinction.
And it’s additionally necessary to do not forget that it’s okay to really feel actually disenchanted. It’s okay and it’s pure to have deep grief. It’s pure to really feel emotions like anger and to really feel, like, “Why did this occur to me?” And so, all of these are actually pure, regular, wholesome feelings to expertise. And at a sure level, it turns into wholesome for us to then reclaim our energy and say, “Okay, who will we wanna be now and subsequent?”
And so, I believe that’s maybe that nuanced piece. And that’s the piece the place I all the time try to apply for myself as a result of I don’t suppose there’s an individual on the planet who hasn’t had an expertise the place they’re like, “What occurred to me was painful. I’d not select that. I didn’t create that. I didn’t need it, however it occurred.”
And I believe that sense of, I believe you known as it nearly radical duty, is available in saying, “I’m greater than my circumstances. I’m better than what has occurred. And I’ve an influence in me that isn’t of me however is past me, and I can faucet into that to be essentially the most loving and current and succesful individual that I’m right here to be.” And a variety of instances that requires, Katie, I believe a degree of give up and a degree of humility, and a willingness to ask for assist, a willingness to ask for a brand new perspective, and only a willingness to not be in a posture of being a sufferer in your individual life.
Katie: Fantastically mentioned.

I wish to be certain we additionally get slightly time to speak about your packages as a result of you’ve got one, I consider particular to time administration known as “Time Genius,” which I believe is very related to mothers.

And I’d love so that you can simply discuss these as a result of I really feel like they’re actually useful packages for individuals who may wanna enter numerous facets of entrepreneurship or simply use these instruments of their lives.
Marie: Yeah. So, “Time Genius,” is our latest expertise, and it’s principally anybody who desires to double to 10x their productiveness in a fraction of the time with out having the stress and the overwhelm. I discovered myself somebody who to begin with has studied time administration and productiveness for my total profession as a result of I consider very, very deeply that our time is our most treasured asset that’s our most non-renewable useful resource, proper?
You may all the time make more cash 9 instances out of 10. You may regain your well being, you’ll be able to rebuild your well being.

Katie: I’ll be certain there are hyperlinks to each of these within the present notes. For you guys listening on the go, these are all at wellnessmama.fm together with hyperlinks to a variety of the opposite issues we’ve talked about. And a few remaining questions I’d like to ask towards the top of interviews, the primary being if there’s a e book or a lot of books which have actually profoundly impacted your life, and in that case, what they’re and why?
Marie: So, I believe one in all my favorites is “The Conflict of Artwork,” by Steven Pressfield. It’s a small however mighty e book. Anybody might learn it in all probability in lower than two hours or so. It’s a e book that I reread about annually. And Steven actually outlines this notion of a drive that he calls “the resistance.” And “the resistance” is one thing that all of us face, whether or not we wish to reshape our well being, whether or not we wanna begin a brand new enterprise, whether or not we wanna overhaul our marriage or our means of consuming, or any relationship with anybody in our life, together with ourselves.
Any time that we’re about to bark upon some kind of artistic journey, all of us expertise that concern, “I’m not ok,” imposter syndrome, and even simply not understanding how you can get began. And he categorizes all of these beneath this drive known as “the resistance.” And so, it’s this lovely e book about beating resistance to truly give the world the presents that you simply’re right here to present. And I believe it’s superior. So, that will be the e book.
Katie: I’ll hyperlink that within the present notes as nicely. And lastly, any parting recommendation for the listeners in the present day that may very well be associated to every part we’ve talked about or completely unrelated?
Marie: I’d say this. There’s two issues that I wanna share. One is that whenever you begin fascinated with the way you wanna use your life, and what you wanna create subsequent, is to actually belief the desires in your coronary heart. Right here’s one of many classes that I’ve realized. You wouldn’t have the dream in your coronary heart for those who already didn’t have what it takes to deliver it to life.
So, many people can spend a lot of our time doubting whether or not we have now what it takes to make our dream come to life. And what I’ve seen time and time once more in working with tens of hundreds of individuals is your dream is in your coronary heart for a cause, and it’s pointing you in direction of your soul’s goal. So, you do have what it takes, however you’ve gotta activate on it.
After which the ultimate factor I’d love to go away individuals with is simply the facility of this philosophy that every part actually is figureoutable. It’s so extremely easy, but so extremely profound. And I wanna encourage you to say it to your self. Say it whenever you’re having your morning espresso. Say it whenever you’re brushing your enamel at evening. Say it whenever you’re standing in line on the financial institution or on the grocery retailer throughout the day. Say it whenever you’re vacuuming. As a result of right here’s what I’ve seen to be true in my very own life. Probably the most highly effective phrases within the universe are the phrases that you simply say to your self. And that little phrase is the important thing to unlocking the best energy and potential that you’re already born with.
Katie: I really like that as an ideal place to wrap up, particularly that concept that what we are saying to ourselves are essentially the most highly effective phrases. I’ve seen that in my very own life and in shut family and friends as nicely. And I believe to the diploma that we will nurture and curate that interior voice, and the best way that we discuss to ourselves, we’ll see that exhibit in our exterior lives so, a lot. And like I mentioned, I’ve adopted your work for over a decade and it’s been such a pleasure to truly get to talk with you nose to nose in the present day.
