What started as pages in a diary became a movement. This Is Me with Marilyn is the podcast where one woman's journey — through single motherhood, entrepreneurship, heartbreak, and healing — becomes the mirror you didn't know you needed. If you're in the middle of your becoming, this show is for you.

  • I Stopped Jogging In Place And Started Moving With Intention
    May 7 2026

    Two years away will either pull you apart or put you back together, and I’m choosing the rebuild. I’m back on “This Is Me With Marilyn” because I hit a point where I couldn’t stand the feeling of jogging in place. I was busy, I was showing up, but I wasn’t building with intention and I was draining myself trying to be everything for everyone. That stops here.

    I get real about what changed and why it took time: fear, imposter syndrome, and avoiding the work that requires discipline. I talk through the hard questions I had to ask myself, like whether I’m moving like the woman I want to become, and what kind of example I’m setting as a mother. Because our kids don’t copy our speeches, they copy our patterns. If you’re working on intentional living, self-trust, and protecting your peace, you’ll feel seen.

    Then I share what I’m doing differently right now: buying back my time, valuing my energy, raising my standards, and setting boundaries without apology. I’m done being available for what doesn’t align, and I’m done explaining myself. This reboot is bigger than motivation. I’m documenting what it really takes to build discipline, grow income, and protect peace while still being present for the life in front of you, including health, fitness, and the messy middle that social media never shows.

    If you’re ready to grow with me, hit play, subscribe, share the show, and leave a review so more people can find this kind of honest reset. What boundary are you setting next?

    Turning 40 has been a profound milestone for me, one that prompted a two-month hiatus from the podcast as I navigated the emotional landscape leading up to this significant birthday. Have you ever wondered how a simple birthday can transform your perspective on life? Join me as I recount the serene celebration that deepened my appreciation for life's simple joys and underscored the importance of genuine connections. From the happy moments with authentic people around me to the small blessings that make life beautiful, this episode is a heartfelt reflection on what truly brings happiness.

    Alongside these personal revelations, I also open up about the emotionally taxing custody battle with my ex-husband and how it has been a setback in my healing journey. This challenging chapter has impacted the planning of my upcoming Women's Empowerment event, yet it has also fueled my determination to live my best life. Inspired by Jennifer Lopez's documentary, I discuss the importance of expressing emotions and not masking pain, sharing my renewed understanding of life's meaning at 40. I express my deepest gratitude for the unwavering support from my listeners, family, and friends, and look forward to continuing our journey of healing and self-love together. Be blessed, productive, and great!
