Live Brave with Dr Margie Warrell

Your hardships and heartaches may shape who you are, but they don't define who you are. Only you get to define that. And therein lies your greatest power – to choose how you will show up and who you will be despite the circumstances of your life. In this episode, I share what I learned after being held at gunpoint in an armed robbery and soon after, losing my first child nearly five months into my...

Sadness is a natural response to loss. It holds the hidden gift of pointing us toward what truly matters most. Yet in the midst of loss, we often seek to numb the pain, push it down or distract ourselves from it. In this podcast, I share how I processed the grief of losing my youngest brother to suicide. If you are struggling with loss in any form, you may find healing in these words.

This week, I sat down in my own living room with Mary Barrett, a fellow coach, friend and neighbor. Mary shares her 18-year journey to fulfilling a lifelong dream of motherhood and we talk about not only why we must surrender our attachment to how we think life should be but why we should enjoy life's unfolding in a spirit of curiosity and wonder. A perfect tonic for flagging spirits in the midst...

In this podcast, I draw on a heart-wrenching moment with my brother as he processed the brutal news that he would never walk again after a life-changing motorbike accident. If you have found yourself dwelling on what you don't want or can't do, or what isn't fair, this episode is for you.

We live in a culture that can take positivity to excess – overgeneralizing to 'be positive' in all situations. Yet forcing ourselves to choose happy in difficult situations denies our full human experience, keeping us from processing the harder emotions that are part and parcel of living a full, wholehearted life. In this podcast, I explain why the emotions we don't own will own us and how sometim...

This pandemic has upended all our lives and left many of us feeling anxious, overwhelmed and ungrounded. In this podcast, I share my personal journey (so far) through this pandemic and how you can use this crisis as a catalyst to rethink how you're 'doing life' and move forward more purposefully, aligned to your deepest values and highest vision.

The biggest way we limit our power is by doubting it. Daring to trust that you are more powerful than you've given yourself credit for will embolden you to step up to the plate in your life and become the person you've always known you can be. If ever there was a time the world needed you to step up, speak up and be a positive change agent, it is now! In this podcast, I share a few thoughts relati...

In this podcast, I share a few thoughts relating to chapter 11 of my new book, You've Got This!: T...

We've all heard the saying, you become the company you keep. Yet too often we spend time with people who only fuel our doubts rather than our confidence. In this podcast, I share a few thoughts relating to chapter ten of my new book, You've Got This!: The Life-Changing Power of Trusting Yourself. I get underneath why we hang on to 'habit friendships' and what you can do to cultivate a community of...

Believing that a higher force is at work in our lives is a risk. Yet, it's a risk worth running - one that can transform our very experience of being alive; emboldening us to face our challenges and pursue our highest aspirations from a place of faith and self-trust rather than from fear and self-doubt. In this podcast, I share a few thoughts relating to chapter nine of my new book, You've Got Thi...

Genuine vulnerability is a form of power that gives us access to our true strength and forges stronger bonds in our relationships. Learning to risk lowering the masks we wear to protect ourselves, liberates us to experience a whole new dimension of joy, connection and fulfillment. In this podcast, I share a few thoughts relating to chapter seven of my new book, You've Got This!: The Life-Changing...

Humility is a virtue yet too often we hide behind it because we're afraid we aren't worthy of what we truly want. In this podcast, I share a few of my Ten Commandments of Courage and why so many of us, particularly women, often struggle to own their worth and too often sell themselves short. All of which just short changes everyone around us. You can read more in chapter seven of my new book, You'...

All of us have a unique combination of gifts, talents, strengths, skills, personality and hard-won wisdom. Yet too often we compare our weaknesses with other people's strengths and fail to hone our gifts for fear that we will be exposed to the world as inadequate. Daring to trust in your unique talents is the first step to stepping fully into your own brilliance. In this podcast, I share a few tho...

Resilience is not what you have, it's what you do. It's the times we feel too busy and burdened to take time out for ourselves – to reset, recharge and reconnect – that we need to prioritize it most. In fact, it's the small little things we do every day that can make the most profound impact on our ability to thrive under pressures and soar over the problems that might otherwise pull us down. In t...

You're not perfect, you never will be. But most importantly, you're not supposed to be! In this podcast, I share a few thoughts relating to chapter four of my new book, You've Got This!: The Life-Changing Power of Trusting Yourself... my experience of getting off my own back and being a little kinder to myself and why embracing our fallibility liberates us to dare more, learn more and enjoy life a...

Nothing worthwhile is achieved with a guarantee of success. Yet too often we let our fear of not having what it takes to turn our aspirations into reality drive us to settle for less than the life we truly want to live. Connecting with the highest vision for our lives is an act of courage in itself. It's also a prerequisite for living a life that truly lights us up (regardless of whether we land o...

None of us are immune to self-doubt. Yet too many of us let our doubts sit in the driver's seat of our lives. Learning how to manage self-doubt is critical to building self-trust and realizing how little reason you have to doubt yourself to begin with. In this podcast, I share a few thoughts relating to chapter two of my new book, You've Got This!: The Life-Changing Power of Trusting Yourself. You...

Sometimes we have to be braver than we want to be – to defy our doubts and trust ourselves that "we've got this" even when we're not sure we have. Learning to trust ourselves more deeply and defy the doubts that hold us back is vital for going after what we want in our life; for changing what we don't and staying grounded in ourselves amid the uncertainty. I created this podcast series to reinforc...

Fear is a potent emotion. Left unchecked, it can overtake our lives. Being in Singapore amid the coronavirus outbreak has given me an up-close and personal experience of how much faster fear can spread than any virus. In this podcast, I share five things anyone can do to stay calm and keep coolheaded when fear is overtaking those around them.

Are you rejecting yourself before anyone else has the chance? Many do. Yet the most successful people risk rejection countless times throughout their lives. When it happens, they know it's not personal. It's just life. Accordingly, they refuse to misinterpret someone else's subjective assessment of them to mean anything about their own worthiness. In this podcast, I will help you reframe rejection...
