    Today's episode highlights the joy I experienced upon acceptance and matriculation at Hertford College, Oxford University, during a study abroad program my Senior year of college.

    Each of us is worthy of a "Hogwarts letter," and God is always ready to provide it. We simply have to believe, as the title of this chapter in my life suggests, that "U are Worthy of Magic."

    Join us on an Oxford University/Travel semester abroad appreciation letter, complete with an inspiring journal prompt today!

    You're invited to journal along to the track from my accompanying Spotify playlist: track 19 today (created just for this chapter). Hop over to listen!

  • Marla Beech on Lifting through the Fog-Hope in Journaling
    Jun 8 2024

    Send us a Text Message.

    In today's episode, coach Marla Beech highlights a journaling technique to get REAL with ourselves in safe and empowering ways thanks to a coach who introduced her to the research behind this application to self-care, Dr. Matt Townsend, https://matttownsend.com

    Marla Beech, The Hope Coach, focuses on Finding PEACE with the past & HOPE for the future!

    Marla is wife to the man she adores, mom to 4 adult children, 2 in-law children and a Grandma’ma!

    Marla has a BS Degree in Elementary Education, is a Certified Peacemaker Coach through the Townsend Relationship Center, host of the Overburdened No More Podcast, and an educator/speaker.

    She loves to hike, journal, travel, sew, knit, crochet, garden & read any chance she gets, which these days isn’t as often as she’d like.

    Marla loves coaching women who are working their way through their FOG. As a woman who also deals with the FOG, she knows what it takes to stay mentally, physically, emotional and spiritually healthy.

    As a certified Coach, Marla focuses on sharing skills of HOPE to those she works with, through journaling, mindfulness, priority planning, and positive psychology principles. She believes that connection with your TIME, LIFE, and SELF are key to overcoming the effects of your personal FOG.

    As a devoted Christian, Marla shares how Jesus Christ gives lasting peace and hope, whatever your circumstances. “I acknowledge there are things I can’t resolve on my own and that the things I have learned that have saved me, ultimately came from Jesus Christ.”

    Optimism is the result of having a perfect brightness of HOPE while loving God and all mankind.

    Marla works one-on-one with clients as well as groups. She loves helping women apply skills that create HOPE through purpose driven practice. She offers many online classes and in-person group workshops to reach as many people as possible.

    Marla is obsessed with connection! She desires every woman to feel connected to her SELF. This connection happens as she recognizes her unique gifts, talents, and character strengths and then uses them to connect to herself so she can connect more authentically with others.
