Thinker vs. Speaker
It's finally time y'all. After some months of taking time to myself and mourning the loss of one my favorite people, the silence is ending. In this heartfelt episode, I share my story of grief, acceptance, and grace. A raw account of the turbulent emotions losing a loved one can stir up, everything from the numbness of shock to embracing vulnerability. It's finding the strength to let others show up for you, opening up to receive the appropriate help navigating this tricky stage of life.
Join us this Friday at 11 AM as we welcome back the show! You already know what time it is. Whenever I go quiet I always come back better. That means we have a bunch of shows lined up for the next few weeks to enter us into this new era of Thinker vs. Speaker Podcast. Thank you to each and everyone for the love and support my family has received during this time. All of the thoughts, prayers, and authentic outpours of kindness have helped in ways I cannot fully express.

Happy New Year! It's 2024 and Thinker vs. Speaker is back and ready for action! I had to take some time off to collect my thoughts, pouring back into myself. Hopefully, y'all ended the year strong and are ready to make the most out of this new year and all its opportunities.

That's okay, just never stop working towards what's important to you! If you did, don't worry about it. Pick up where you left off and keep going.

I feel like this needed to be said. Then repeated. And then repeated again. Because it’s too many people that think it’s their job to make everybody happy. That’s not your weight! That job, those friends, literally whatever you need to apply this to. Everyone won’t always be happy with what you do. What matters is if YOU ARE. If you’re doing the best you can with pure intentions then let that be enough. Don’t let the world put a weight on you that doesn’t belong! #retrainyourbrain #peoplepleaser #healingjourney #growthmindset #takingbackcontrol #quoteoftheday #quotestoliveby #lifelessons #lifecoach #lifequotestoliveby #thinkervsspeaker #marissathethinker #podcast

Have you ever heard of cognitive distortion? Me either until starting therapy. How about having a hard time navigating through negative thoughts? Or, having a bad habit of automatically jumping to the worst case scenario. Did you know there are some easy tricks you can use to retrain your brain to see the full scope of a situation instead of just the bad parts? Seriously, you’re not crazy and there’s no need to suffer in silence. It’s more common than you’d think and there are plenty of ways to get the help you need #therapy #gettinghelp #CBT #cbt #cognitivebehavioraltherapy #cognitivedistortions #thinkervsspeaker #podcast #LifeTalks #life #is #lifecoach

Anything for you will never miss you. Sometimes we’ll desire things that are no good for us. They require us to be less than we were ever intended and devalues our worth. That’s why these things fall apart. Because we’re better and deserve more but first you have to believe it #quotes #thoughtoftheday #selfworth #selflove #thinkervsspeaker #podcast #lifequotes #healing #lifecoach

Something I love about this show is the way my guests challenge me conversationally. Sometimes, I get to listen and learn. Tapping into introspection, embracing empathy and understanding, ultimately considering things in a way that may not have happened if I wasn't approached with this new perspective. Then, there are other times when we tap into my passions. Diving into topics that I've pondered alone, or with others time and time again. That's when I get to switch roles, taking the driver's seat and sharing what I know. Either way, every show is an experience. Where two or more people get to come together to learn, discuss, and explore topics and narratives that often people ignore.
To to the ones that get it and give us a chance every week, I thank you. This is more than just a show to me. It's a place for us to connect and embrace authentic, mature, and thought-provoking dialogue once again. It's about time the Thinker's had a platform!

Now that the cat's out the bag I can sit and collect my thoughts. To those who haven't checked out yesterday's episode, it's official. Thinker vs. Speaker has a website! We now have a place where you can watch new episodes, join the conversation in our discussion board, and even schedule time to talk to me about coming on the show! It's all there at www.thinkervsspeaker.com
I want to thank Chris Perry of Perry Web Design for making that possible and coming through to the show. He made this transition so smooth and convenient that I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to get a website done. Not only did he create it for me, but he taught me how to maintain it on my own to make on the spot changes whenever they come up!
To think, when I started this all I had was a phone, some wired headphones, and the courage to step outside of my comfort zone. A year ago, when I branched out on my own, it was that same setup. The only difference was my confidence to keep going alone. Where I am now is leaps and bounds from where I started. All I had was a dream and the faith in God and myself to make it happen. I may not be where I want to be, but am definitely on the right track.
Now with all that said, believe me when I tell you, it's possible. You can't win a marathon without taking a step forward. The first race you participate in may not be the one you win. But, keep going anyway. You may take L after L, but don't let it stop you. If it feels right, go for it. Block everything out and follow your dream.
Thanks to everyone who helped make this possible. From the listeners, to guests, and this amazing team of people I'm beginning to grow with. May the future be everything we wished for it to be!
