A Bit From Within with Felicia Marti

I'm so excited to share that I finally got to record and share my favorite books in this episode! I've heard from some of you looking forward to this one- and I'm happy that this crazy week gave me a chance to focus on this topic. (I don't know about you but my capacity this week is LOW!) That being said I do have a good astro segment in this podcast too talking about sun moving into Aquarius toda...

I have more than a handful of things that I am particular about, rigid even; things I like to be in control of. I don't want to be perceived as controlling or stubborn, but it's how self protection has manifested in my body. And in all honesty- it's probably a lot like what I'm experiencing with my frozen neck. Instead of being able to go with the flow, all the muscles are clinging on tight trying...

This week I talk about the two words I'm leaning into this new year: Faith & Trust. Faith is trust without evidence; belief without proof. Trust depends on outcome and result. Faith can be a gateway to trust, and trust can deepen faith in something. Our dreams may feel so tangible when we address them with our hearts, but when it comes to our minds and even our physiological body that’s where the...

It's the last podcast of 2020! Can you believe it? Of course I’ll be back with a new episode next week but we’ll be in a brand new year by then. I could have done an end of year recap, or an episode around intention setting and the things that I hope to create in 2021- but instead I am opting to share two bits from within. First, I share my thoughts on new year’s mindset. I an encourager that you...

We ALL experience moments of resistance from time to time... (Or maybe often in my case). Resistance comes in many forms, and today on the episode I reflect on a few different stories of how I found myself navigating pockets of resistance by diving into the mindset shift required to evolve. Other points of discussion include this amazing moment of the winter solstice happening on the same day as t...

Well, here we are the day after the new moon, and real close to the winter solstice, the Great Conjunction, and a brand new year. There's been so much buzz about this new moon and this Saturn Jupiter conjunction that I wanted to take some time during the podcast today to reassure anyone who need to hear it, that you don't have to have all your goals, dreams, and intentions figured out right now -...

Earlier this week Dave and I got onto the conversation about how much we miss traveling right now. It got me thinking back to the trips that I've taken solo- the fears and also the BIG revelations that I had during those times I got to travel by myself. Since Sagittarius is sign that inspires travel, I thought today would be a great day to share some of what I learned from my travels alone. To me...

Happy December! Can you believe it? The 12th month of 2020 is finally here. Just like last month, we're beginning a new one during the time of a full moon. It's much different than the new moon, new month energy we felt quite a bit this spring. Instead it almost feels like 2 steps forward, 1 step back. For me personally, I've been struggling with a lot of the things I feel obligated to be better a...

This week I'm sharing about my experience with expansions and contractions. Sometimes when we finally move into a place of expansion it can be accompanied by unanticipated stressors, or kick in some of our fear around not wanting to accept good into our lives. Other times we've been stuck for so long, and we might realize that it's because we're not willing to try anymore. We're not willing to tak...

Hi Everyone! Happy new moon week- a week that may be full of new intentions to begin working towards! In today's podcast I expand on my thoughts from the New Moon guide that was released over the weekend to my patreon members. These thoughts include getting really realistic about tackling the areas of life that you're not totally satisfied with. To get, join our patreon page where you can listen t...

It's election week here in the US. I can't not say it because putting our heads in the sand isn't going to help us, right? We have to be real about how we're feeling. For me the anxiety is real right now! And I know I'm not alone. In fact, if you're feeling alone at all right now, I'm here to remind you that we're all feeling this bubbling uncertainty and it is scary and difficult and hard. But we...

Today on the A Bit From Within Podcast, I invited my boyfriend/partner, David Wood, who just turned 30 on to share A Bit From Within him. I had several questions ready for him which include topics of what turning 30 has meant to him, along with where he'd like to be in a year, the ups and downs of Covid, and what self care actually looks like for him.  To listen ad free, join our patreon page www....

It's 8pm and I'm just posting this podcast that I recorded last night. What's ironic about this is, if you tune you'll hear this long story about how my computer went down, it seemed like the drive was failing, and then funnily enough by Sunday everything was back up and running! Well, I woke up this morning so happy to get to edit the podcast and meditation and...... boom! The hard drive absolute...

Happy Monday everyone! Today on the A Bit From Within podcast I share some of the things that have been on my mind over the weekend which include taking a look at my fear around making decisions- which includes holding back from knowing, or even saying, what I want. While this isn't a new thing in my life (definitely an old pattern), it is one that often sneaks away or that I don't look at very of...

Sometimes my Monday's are full of motivation, productivity, and brightness.  Other time's I find myself exhausted, low energy, and honestly with so much resistance because I feel differently than I think I should be. This week I once again talk about our theme of self care, and how self care must include real honesty with yourself around where you're at, what you're capabilities at this time are,...

It’s been 6 months since I launched my patreon page: A Bit From Within! To celebrate this moment I took questions from patrons that included one that really brought pause to me: “How did you build up the courage to go through with the patreon and the podcast what do you wish you knew before starting and what is the biggest thing you have learned from doing it these last six months?”This question h...

Balance: a state where things are of equal weight or force. As we pass through Autumn equinox, I'm reminded that the need for finding balance is a part of the natural and intuitive cycles in our lives. Right now, I'm not feeling like I'm in a season for balance because my business is so busy right now, and I'm finding myself more obsessed with my work that ever. But that's why I'm so grateful to t...

Here we are in mid September, we’re on the verge of a Virgo new moon and upcoming autumn equinox. With the seasons truly changing, it’s a perfect time to begin thoughtfully and intentionally preparing ourselves for Fall. I’m looking forward to home cooked meals and finding ways I can be more present, slow down, and enjoy this season of coziness and comfort. During today’s astro-segment I’ll touch...

Today on the podcast I reflect on my time at Path or Love, what I learned about myself and how I’ve been ignoring that voice inside myself that’s been craving silence, stillness, and clarity. It’s so easy for us to get caught up in life that swirls around us, and sometimes we ignore the signs from inside that will ultimately point us in the right direction to move forward. Interested in Path of Lo...

What does self love mean for someone with codependent behaviors? Today I share a bit from within about the struggle of having a lot of codependent issues, feeling that things are good enough- that I’m good enough- and how approaching healing with self love is a slow and thoughtful journey instead of a light switch moment. Show Notes: Self Love Languages Dominee with Blessing Manifesting:https://ww...

In today’s episode of the podcast I’ll talk about what kinds of things I find to be very helpful in my own experience for restoring yourself back to a manageable place of calm, especially after times when you’ve run yourself ragged. Stress has a way of wrecking havoc on our nervous system, so we’ll dive into some of the ways we can slow down and restore as we navigate our way through life. Here ar...

For some of us things happen more slow or fast than for others. The problem with this is it can lead us to comparing where we are with where others are, or even comparing where we are with where we THINK we should be. When we mix in all of our wants, desires, dreams, and intentions for the future- it can lead to an impatience or frustration that takes the joy out of the present moment. Today I sha...

Today I explore the need to be understood, and how the skill of listening may help. Not only do each of us have a desire to be understood and seen by others, but sometimes our lack of listening to ourselves or taking the time to understand who it is we truly are can actually sabotage our intentions and aspirations. During this week’s astro check in, I discuss the rising sign and how understanding...

Things don’t always go how we expect. Even the best of plans can be met with the unexpected. When we’re met with a wave of the unexpected that shakes us and leaves us unsteady- how do we recover? Do we give our self adequate space to do so? Or do we hold ourselves to unreasonable expectations for having to quickly be ok, even when we’re not.

Today’s episode of the A Bit From Within Podcast I share a little bit about how we choose to get creative when it comes to our problems, our losses, and the spaces that get let over when things change. Life is not always easy- and sometimes we have to deal with things we don’t want to, or have to arise to the occasion when we’d rather slink away or go back into the past- but it’s our choice to be...
