A Bit From Within with Felicia Marti

Ever have those weeks that no matter how much you're trying to get yourself on track, it's like the Universe keeps you slightly off where you want to be? Or totally redirected? My last week has been like that, and I've been trying not to be frustrated or disappointed with things not being how I expected, but as usual I'm feeling less than perfect at it. In this week's episode of the podcast I'm di...

This week on the podcast I am sharing about a recent experience with forcing myself to do the right thing even when I felt like I wasn't being recognized or valued for what I am bringing to the table. There are so many times in life where you'll have to choose what kind of moral or ethical code you're going to live by- and you will have your own reasons for choosing what you'll do. For me it comes...

Hi Everyone! I'm back at the podcast today after last week's birthday week. Today I share a little bit of what went "wrong" and "right" over my birthday, and discuss the battle through the heaviness that seems to be floating overhead right now. The thing I come back to again and again is the importance of knowing how to let go. I'm usually very insightful that I need to let go, but being able to d...

This is my birthday episode of the podcast! One of the things I wanted this year was for Dave to interview me for the podcast. I always feel we can show up a little bit differently when we're answering questions (especially ones we probably wouldn't ask ourselves), and I wanted the chance to see what would happen from a conversation like that this week. Dave led today's discussion and we covered s...

This week on the podcast I'm sharing all kinds of things from within: The great feeling of getting into a groove with my business by focusing on the fun and the love The high passions/tensions in the air (in our astro check in) Figuring out those few things that aren't working for you that would make everything else work better And the heart of the podcast today revolves around the idea of when do...

As we approach this big solar eclipse/new moon of the season, I've been spending some time reflecting on the themes in my life and more specifically the pace my life has taken. In this week's episode of the podcast I shared a bit from within about the fears I have of moving closer to a place of life long commitment in my life, and preparing to receive this thing that i've personally wanted my whol...

Hi! On today's episode our main topic is all about those times in our lives when we feel hesitant, anxious, or self doubt. For many this has been introduced as 'imposter syndrome' where you feel like you're a fraud and undeserving of your accomplishments. But after being inspired by this article: "Stop Telling Women They Have Imposter Syndrome", I didn't want to use that label. I believe it's norm...

On today's episode I'll share a bit in our astro segment about this upcoming lunar eclipse in sagittarius, as well as preview the mercury retrograde in gemini. All of this full moon energy has been leaving me in a cranky mood and feeling stuck in old patterns of feeling sorry for myself, and also feeling a lot of pressure. Last night as I was thinking about it all I realized that the overwhelming...

You may have heard me say this before as something I regularly tell myself when I'm afraid to choose, "It's not a right or wrong decision, it's just a decision." This weekend I had a funny experience with an 8 year old and his becoming totally emotionally overcome after having to choose between a stick and a sword to bring out on our walk. Sometimes we get so paralyzed with fear when it comes to d...

Things are picking up over here in my world, and as they do I've noticed that my go-to self protection is to constantly be playing defense. This is not a great strategy by any means- it's one that is mentally exhausting, where you feel you're constantly thinking through what could go wrong and trying to "fix" things before anything even happens. Have you ever felt that way? Where you're running in...

On today's podcast I have such a special conversation on a very important topic, one that I think many of us will be able to relate to in unusual ways. Today you'll be hearing from Kyli Hopkins. As you'll hear in the introduction, in January 2020 Kyli was hit by a car and suffering a traumatic brain injury. Since then she's been very public with her journey on social media, sharing the good, the b...

On this week's episode of the podcast I'm sharing a bit from within about how it feels navigating "the new normal" for this month, especially as more people get vaccinated, and as I personally head into a busy season with my work after a long slow season. I realized during today's episode that I've been unconsciously avoiding many of the "must-dos" in my life. Whether it's been because the surviva...

It was a few weeks ago now that I stepped on the scale and realized that I've gained more than 30 lbs during this last year. I'm talking about my experience with managing my weight on today's episode of the podcast, because I know that I'm not alone in feeling frustrated by the number on the scale right now. I do want to make sure to include here that I firmly believe that no one *should* feel any...

Today on the Podcast I have a guest joining us! Joanna Sullivan, a Marriage and Family Therapist Candidate who is Gottman Level 1 certified and is working on her certificate for Sex Therapy. She has a private practice in Northern Colorado called Northern Colorado Relational Therapy. Joanna is married to her wonderful husband, Ben, and has 2 boys in middle school. When not working she loves watchin...

Ever feel like you've been walking around totally unplugged from who you really are? Like you haven't laughed like you in a while? Or you haven't done that thing that brings so much joy to your spirit? It happens so sneakily sometimes that before we know it we're a bit lost- searching for our way back home to ourselves. For me, last week brought quite the moment of revelation that I'd been living...

Today’s episode is all about listening to yourself- particularly your body. I have been thinking about the areas of my life that my relationship to listening to myself has been spot on, but there’s other areas of my life that for some reason I couldn’t tune in and listen to what my body was telling me. Looking back, I wish I would have done things differently- but I also find that there are more t...

Every so often you'll encounter a mean spirited people who, instead of scrolling on or walking past, decide to comment something rude, insensitive, or plain ignorant to you. Last week I had two interactions like this that left me feeling a bit jolted from these opinions of random strangers. One happened to me online, and the other in the grocery store. It got me thinking about how important it is...

Hi all! I hope this finds you well of course! It's only Tuesday but it feels like Friday to me. Anyone else having that kind of a week? On today’s podcast episode I talk about our roadtrip through Utah last week, and getting snowed in during the big Denver storm this weekend. For me this brought up a bit of confrontation of my control issues and how I deal with set expectations. Later I get into t...

It was one year ago this month that many of us can point to one day on the calendar and say, life was never the same after this. In today's episode I reflect back on what I was going through a year ago, and I venture through some of my old instagram posts from this year and discuss my train of thought. Especially as a business owner, there were a lot of big decisions to navigate. It many ways it w...

Today I have my partner, David Wood, on the podcast talking about his experience this past month since leaving his 9-5 job and now working for himself. We discuss what it challenges came with preparing for such a big life change, his current worries, and his mindset right now while he moves through this transition. I was so looking forward to this conversation because I think for so many of us, on...

We are quickly approaching the 1 year mark of covid changing our lives, and with that I’ve been noticing a lot of grief rising up within me. As I touch on in today’s episode of the podcast, while I recognize this and feel this, I didn’t want to spend so much time there that this “unhappy chapter wins” (borrowed from the card reading at the end of today’s episode)! I am very focused right now on ma...

For this week's episode of the podcast, I wanted to take some time to reflect back on the process I just went through with developing the website, especially from the lens of what I learned along the way. I knew it would be an interested reflection just to learn the behind the scenes of the process, but also a good reflection at how to pace yourself when working on something new, something that re...

Today on the A Bit From Within Podcast I dive into the subject of dealing with criticism. Ugh, such a fun topic right? Haha. It's a really hard subject because while facing criticism can make you better, it can also be extremely painful. I share my take on my struggles with giving and receiving criticism, and some of the foundational elements I believe in with the subject as well. I also stand fir...

Hi everyone! New podcast for you. One topic that I'm very passionate about is not comparing yourself to others. Even though I've felt this way for a long time, I still find myself scrolling through social media and suddenly feeling bad about myself because I don't do what someone else does. On today's episode I dive into this topic and share a bit from within about managing our insecurities, and h...

If there's one thing I've learned over and over in my life it's that sometimes things have to break down in order to be rebuilt. Often times when things are falling apart we are filled with all the crappy negative feelings: frustrated, stuck, lost, depressed, or like a failure. It's all part of the process. This is what I share a bit from within about this week on the podcast. I touch on my own ve...
