I was looking for some ankle weights and wanted to stop in to see what they had. To our surprise, the parking lot was packed, more traffic than expected, and when we got in the store was busy for a Sunday. We both looked around, and the clothing and shoes were everywhere. Both of us were like, well, darn, wondered what’s going on…then it hit us…oh, oh it’s back-to-school shopping. So, it’s that time of the year. Sales, shopping lists, trying on shoes, clothes, school supplies, and grabbing back-to-school […]

It’s a checkpoint. A sacred pause. A time to reflect on what’s behind me, what’s still living inside me, and what I’m intentionally choosing to leave behind. This year, I found myself coming back to a truth I’ve learned, lived, and now teach: sometimes the only way forward… is backward. Say it with me, sometimes the only way forward…is backward. I mean, taking the time and intentionality to understand and own your story. I call it […]
- [From Wounds to Wisdom: 7 Ways Shifting Your Mother Story Can Transform Your Life](https://marshadgill.com/from-wounds-to-wisdom-7-ways-shifting-your-mother-story-can-transform-your-life/): May is mental health awareness month. Let’s make it a lifestyle. We’re dealing day to day. Much of what we deal with on a day-to-day basis can be symptoms of something deeper. So, if you’ve ever felt like you’re stuck in patterns you can’t explain—overgiving, accommodating, staying small at work, or struggling in your relationships—pause right here.Because chances are, it’s not “just you.” It’s something deeper.

- [Travel & Transformation: Why Your Next Trip Might Just Heal More Than You Think](https://marshadgill.com/travel-transformation-why-your-next-trip-might-just-heal-more-than-you-think/): I’ve always believed that healing doesn’t just happen in therapy rooms or coaching sessions—if it did, we be having a different conversation. Now, don’t get me wrong, I believe deeply in the power of those spaces. I’ve spent years sitting across from women as a former therapist and coach, holding space for their pain, helping them find their voice, guiding them back to themselves. That work is sacred. But it’s not the only place healing lives. I believe and have truly lived out...healing happens in motion. It happens when you’re standing in a place you’ve never been before, realizing just […]

Four Things, I Know for Sure.](https://marshadgill.com/mothers-day-holding-love-loss-and-everything-in-between-four-things-i-know-for-sure/): Let’s be real—Mother’s Day can be… a lot. Recently, I was at an event and sharing what I do with an attendee. I could tell that it hit home for her.  She thanked me for doing this work and began to share about her own relationship with her mother and her daughters.  As she started to tear up, I could tell that these are relationships that hold love, loss, and everything in between.  So, as you can imagine for some Mother’s Day, it’s filled with brunches, flowers, and heartfelt cards. For others, it brings up tears, tension, silence, or a […]

Our mother-daughter relationship is a complex and unique bond that can greatly impact our self-discovery and our relationships with ourselves and others.

However, it’s important to remember that having difficult conversations is ultimately worth it. When you avoid difficult conversations, you risk sacrificing your own needs and desires.

- [6 Tips to Embrace Your Uniqueness and Let Your Voice Be Heard](https://marshadgill.com/6-tips-to-embrace-your-uniqueness-and-let-your-voice-be-heard/): Whenever I create a map of mother-daughter relationships, one of the first things I notice is that when women’s needs go unvoiced or ignored, it can have a negative impact on their emotional well-being. Even in my mother-daughter map, I see generations of women whose voices were either silenced or ignored, or that’s just not what we did. Silencing leads to stress, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and more. It can be challenging to let your voice be heard and showcase your true self in your family, let alone the world. However, living a fulfilling life is all about […]

Yep, for sure! Of course, I know myself! Honestly, I wasn’t being truthful to myself back then. I really had no idea of what it meant to know myself.

When we focus on what others are doing to measure up, we shift our focus off what we are doing or what we should be doing. Not only that, but we also create a gap for negative thoughts to settle in.

- [11 Ways to Reimage Self-care](https://marshadgill.com/11-ways-to-reimage-self-care/): Mother’s Day has come and gone. I hope you were celebrated! I hope you were showered with love! I traveled seven hours to surprise my mother for Mother’s Day. Their security camera almost blew my cover. It’s a good thing that I’m constantly changing my hair, lol! Anyway, we had a blast. We talked, laughed, watched movies, spent time in her garden, and ate until she called a timeout. LOL! We had such a good time.  Here’s the thing about special days. They come and go. Mother’s Day has come and gone. Now, this isn’t just about mothers this is […]
- [5 Ways Daily Affirmations Can Shift Your Thinking](https://marshadgill.com/5-ways-daily-affirmations-can-shift-your-thinking/): Y’all, I can’t remember a time when I didn’t talk to myself. Seriously! Now, I will say that the talk wasn’t always encouraging, uplifting, and empowering. R. Kiyosaki hit the nail on the head with, “It’s not what you say out of your mouth that determines your life; it’s what you whisper to yourself that has the most power.”  Now that’s a mouthful! Most have heard the phrase..if you don’t have anything nice to say, then don’t say anything at all.  What would happen if you took that phrase and used it as a filter? Take a moment and process […]
- [Highlight Your Greatness and Push Pass Your Doubts](https://marshadgill.com/highlight-your-greatness-and-push-pass-your-doubts/): I’ve learned that it can be challenging to pinpoint our strengths.  Think about it. Does this sound familiar when asked what your strengths are most will go for the obvious, I’m a good listener, I’m kind, I help others, or I’m compassionate. While that might be true, there’s always more.  Most would agree that some of our strengths are apparent, but many of the strengths that we bring to the table go unnoticed. Let’s be honest, we tend to overlook our good qualities, and when that happens, we’re low-key, turning our back on our strengths. Below are tips to help […]
- [Unleash Your Inner Advocate](https://marshadgill.com/unleash-your-inner-advocate/): We’ve all got one. You know what I’m talking about, that inner voice or inner critic that’s always got something to say. Sometimes way too much to say. I don’t know about you, but sometimes that inner voice can go too far, go overboard, be loud, critical, tearing down rather than lifting up.  Growing up, my mother would say, if you can’t say anything nice to say, then don’t say anything at all. Let’s be honest, we have a hard time applying that notion to ourselves, don’t we? When your inner dialogue is harsh, it’s usually because you’re repeating things […]
