Fall often comes with an invitation to reset everything: new routines, new goals, better habits, get organized, finish the year strong.

But what if you don’t need another self-improvement project?

What if you’ve simply gotten disconnected from yourself?

In this episode, I’m reflecting on that question after wrapping up 14 weeks of my Come Home to Your Heart Masterclass. As I looked at the women who said yes, showed up, trusted me, and allowed themselves to grow, I could see their becoming. They are not the same women they were 14 weeks ago.

And neither am I.

That experience reminded me that personal growth isn’t always about becoming someone new. Sometimes it’s about understanding yourself more deeply, reconnecting with the parts of you that have gotten lost beneath responsibility, expectations, overthinking, and caring for everyone else—and becoming more fully yourself.

In this episode, we’ll talk about:

• Why feeling disconnected from yourself can look like needing to “fix” yourself
• The difference between self-improvement and coming home to yourself
• How you can be highly functional and still feel disconnected inside
• Why becoming may sometimes look more like returning
• Four simple questions to help you reconnect with yourself this season

Before you decide everything that needs to change about you this fall, consider a different possibility:

What would it look like to let this season be about becoming more fully yourself?

When your adult child begins to feel distant, the hurt can reach a very tender place in a mother’s heart.

Maybe they don’t come visit very often. A text goes unanswered. Their tone feels different. You find out about something you weren’t included in. Or maybe nothing dramatic has happened—you can simply feel that the relationship has changed.

In this unedited episode, Marci talks about the emotional pain many mothers experience when connection with an adult child feels uncertain and why that pain can activate protective patterns like overthinking, trying harder, withdrawing, or walking on eggshells.

Through the lens of the Inner Relationship Method™, you’ll learn how to recognize the hurting part underneath the fear, understand what your protective parts may be trying to prevent, and invite your Resourced Self to lead instead.

You’ll explore:

• Why emotional distance from an adult child can hurt so deeply
• What may be underneath walking on eggshells with your adult child
• How fear of losing connection can quietly begin running the relationship
• The difference between your hurting parts, protective parts, and Resourced Self
• How to love your adult child without abandoning yourself
• A simple practice for asking, “How do I want to show up here?”
• What it can mean to lead as the matriarch in this season of motherhood

You cannot control whether your adult child calls, includes you, responds warmly, or relates to you in the way you wish they would.

But you can learn how to care for the parts of you that hurt, bring your emotional power back home, and choose who you want to be in the relationship.

You can love your child deeply without leaving yourself behind.

This episode is also available to watch in video on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.

In this raw, unedited episode, Marci is talking honestly about what happened when my voice went quiet.

For two weeks, she didn’t release a podcast episode. Not because she had nothing to say, but because what she had to say wasn't available to her.

Marci was carrying some heavy sadness. She had used a lot of creative energy on other projects. And honestly, she was discouraged. Marci had released a previous episode she believed was one of her strongest, shared clips from it on social media, and was met with very little response.

In the past, Marci might have pushed through, forced herself to produce something, and called that discipline.

But she's been practicing how to listen.

In this episode, Marci talks about the difference between avoidance and honoring yourself, between lovingly stretching yourself and overriding what your nervous system and inner world may actually need.

Marci also explores what happens when you stop making a temporary lack of energy, motivation, creativity, or capacity mean something about who you are.

You’ll hear encouragement to ask yourself:

• Am I avoiding something that needs courage, or is something inside me genuinely asking to be heard?
• What am I making this season mean about me?
• What would it look like to stay in relationship with myself instead of judging or forcing myself?
• Can I let discouragement be present without abandoning myself because of it?

Sometimes your voice doesn’t come back because you finally found the perfect thing to say.

Sometimes it comes back when you give yourself permission to tell the truth about why it went quiet.

If you’ve been feeling discouraged, disconnected, creatively drained, emotionally tired, or like you should be doing more than you currently have capacity for, this episode is for you.
