In this deeply personal episode, Marley opens up in a way she never has before — live from her Cape Town home (construction noise and all). This isn't a money episode. It's a human one. Marley shares what's been unfolding in her life over the past several months: a breakup, a loss, and a powerful internal shift around the concept of pausing — sitting with feeling rather than running from it. She also announces her intention to show up even more fully and authentically on the podcast going forward. What We Cover: The coping mechanism that doesn't work Marley unpacks her lifelong pattern of retreating when things get hard — running to forests as a kid, ignoring friends, moving countries, numbing out. She shares how she learned that suppressing emotion doesn't make it go away; it compiles it until the nervous system hits its limit. The Sacred Pause The practice that changed everything: choosing to respond rather than react. Marley breaks down how pausing allows you to feel and process rather than project — and why sitting on the other side of those feelings has brought her more peace, depth, and capacity for wealth and connection than anything else. Healing your relationship with the masculine (and money) Marley opens up about her breakup earlier this year and the profound healing it catalyzed. She shares her belief that the person who triggers you most is often your greatest teacher — and how this relationship forced her to face 31 years of unprocessed emotion she'd been running from her whole life. Expanding the brand of this podcast Marley announces she's done hiding parts of herself. Her clients know she goes way beyond money — into relationships, family dynamics, self-worth, feminine energy, burnout. She wants the podcast to reflect that too. All of her, not just the branded version. Grief, and her grandfather A tender and raw share: Marley's grandfather passed away last week. She talks about the unique difficulty of anticipatory grief — waiting for someone to go — and how she gave herself full permission to stop working and just be with it. Quotes from This Episode: "When we shove down the emotion, it doesn't go away. It gets shoved down, and then it compiles, and it creates this pressure cooker." "The pause has allowed me to hold so much more wealth, so much more depth — it makes me feel in control." "I finally found something I didn't want to run away from."
