Finding Your It Factor

Marijanel Show

02/27/23 • 38 min

057. What makes heads turn? What shifts the entire atmosphere of a room when someone walks in? Not bravado. Not insecurity, but confidence. It's what you've been admiring in the people you look up to, it's what you've been wishing for in your life and creativity.
Today on the show, we're going to talk about how to build confidence in your life. And by the end of today's show, you'll have a new sense of self-assurance that will serve you well in any situation.
I'm going to tell you all about what I've been learning from two books I'm reading... The Confidence Code by Katty Kay, and Claire Shipman and Find your Voice by Caroline Goyder. I started those books because I wanted to explore how creativity, confidence and purpose are related, and what it means for me to become the most confident content creator and podcaster that I can be in my lifetime.
I talk about what taking your rightful place in authority and confidence means to me, and how it affects our sense of belonging, and the ways we tend to apologize for ourselves instead of simply be in a state of confidence. I share how I was recently the director on a film set and how I needed to exude confidence to put the whole crew at ease and what the producer ended up telling me after the shoot.
You'll hear a definition of true confidence that will really take the lid off and expose both extremes, arrogance and insecurity, for the lies they are. We think about what it really is about that person who walks in the room with confidence that changes the environment...their body language, introductions, natural ability to give away confidence rather than suck attention. This leads us to explore the IT Factor and how to find YOURS!
Get ready for an inspirational deep dive! You're going to get so much confidence out of this show, so get ready for the boost as you hit download!

Why I've Only Kissed One Man (Ever!!!)

Marijanel Show

02/12/23 • 31 min

055. Do you believe me? I've only kissed one man in my life.

It's not because I'm not curious or that I don't want to try new things...I'm Curiosity's Apprentice after all. Here in this episode I'll tell you why I've only kissed one person and how I actually feel about it.

Have I missed out? Do I get bored? I'll tell you the truth.

I'll also give my top kissing tips compared to internet advice and how to teach your person what you want in a kiss. Is kissing an art and can someone learn it how you like it?

After 28 years of marriage I've learned it's never too late to show your partner what kind of kisses work best for you, even if it feels funny to do it.

I'll also share two incredible stories of extreme kindness that will blow your mind. Both stories are about a person who never puts himself in the spotlight and who makes it possible for others to shine. Not only will your heart be warmed and prompted toward acts of kindness but you will feel inspired to look for those qualities in the people you align your life with.

Who you spend time with Is who you become.

I've learned some valuable life lessons from watching my husband gold pan. You'll be deeply inspired to hear the connection I've made between wading through icy rivers and digging in the dirt for gold in the literal sense, and how metaphorically our lives require that kind of perseverance and patience to get to the true value.

You'll come away from today entertained with new kissing techniques and inspired to look for gold in your life and relationships

Marijanel Show

06/19/23 • 30 min

072. Imagine looking in the mirror and confidently saying, "I love you" to yourself. Seems strange, right? In this empowering conversation with Carrina Trueman, health and wellness partner and leader of Shine Bright Nation, we uncover the secrets of self-love and embracing our true selves.

Carrina is passionate about helping women rediscover their self-worth and care for their health, without obsessing over their body size. We discuss the importance of setting examples for our children, particularly our daughters, and the challenges of overcoming our own insecurities while still leading our children in a healthy and positive way.

We explore the concept of our bodies as "earth suits" that we need to honor and care for, and the dangerous trap of shaming ourselves when our bodies don't look or respond the way we expect them to.

Together, Marijanel and Carinna delve into the journey of self-love and confidence-building, sharing personal experiences and inspiring a newfound appreciation for ourselves. Carrina invites women to challenge their insecurities and redefine their self-worth through mindset shifts.

So, join us on this enlightening episode and leave feeling ready to embrace your true self, with newfound love and appreciation.

Marijanel Show

12/29/22 • 30 min

Episode 049. It's that reflection time of year when we look back and reckon with the last 365 days. I decided to make a list of what worked (inspired by Emily P. Freeman of the Next Right Thing Podcast).
In my list of 10 things that worked for 2022 you'll hear:

what I've worn 300 days out of the year
in what way I owe my body shape to Ed Sheeran
what makes me feel like I'm dating my husband again
a time management process that changed my world
the way I spend my weekends
the book I can't put down
the app that brought me success

...AND in this episode I'll share with you how I failed this year, because our failures are worth reckoning with and learning from.

Permission to be Creative // UPDATE

Marijanel Show

11/24/23 • 21 min

087. As we approach 2024, the Marijanel Show is ready to embrace a new theme - creativity. Reflecting on our journey so far, we've covered topics such as purpose, mentorship, journaling, and self-worth in the past year. The journey hasn't been without its challenges, and personal setbacks...like my burnout this past summer... have shaped the narrative of my show. But remember, seasons don't last forever. The future promises an exciting new chapter, and trust me, you wouldn't want to miss out on the creative evolution that's happening.
Have you ever wondered about the intertwined connections that bind different facets of my life to the Marijanel Show? Let's take a stroll down memory lane as I share my own personal story of how the first 50 episodes of "Curiosity's Apprentice" served as a memoir of sorts. But, there's been a piece I've always held back: a significant failure from my days as a children's content creator. With my recent step back into children's book publishing, I'm ready to open up that vault and inspire you to embrace your creativity without fear of failure. So, grab a cup of coffee and join me as we embark on this journey of living wholeheartedly and creatively.
00:00:00 Intro 00:00:56 Whole doesn't mean perfect 00:02:37 My Intention Word for 2024 00:03:43 Looking back through the year 00:04:49 The other part of my burnout 00:06:42 I had a stirring 00:08:48 About the Hedgehog 00:10:11 Why I started Kid's YouTube 00:13:16 Journaling Resources still happening 00:14:36 The Failure I wasn't over 00:15:53 The story I left out 00:16:44 Why I closed a vault on my creativity 00:18:06 My soul has been in rehab 00:19:32 Creating a safe space for kids 00:20:41 Closing
