Hello, Power Women, and welcome to another wonderful episode with a guest. Here to share her power story, I have Maren Rasmussen. Hi, Maren.
Maren (00:12.014)
Bye everybody.
Aubin Palmer (00:13.785)
So excited to have her on this podcast. She is a good friend of mine and we've actually known each other for a long time, but we've gotten closer lately. We met in 2020 when we both certified at the Life Coach School and we weren't like in the same program, but we ran into each other because we were both from Utah. And then we're now both in a mastermind together with Amber Smith called the Abundance Mastermind. So we're both very abundant people. We love that kind of thing. And Marin does energy work with life coaching. So.
She has a special pizzazz to what she does that I have loved. I've done sessions with her. She's come to my group program and she's helped everyone was like in awe after that. It was so cool. And just the thing she said about all these women that I know so well, I was like blown away. So it was so cool to see how powerful this gift she has is and how she's using it to serve other people.
Maren (00:58.284)
Thank
Aubin Palmer (01:07.237)
And I love to have guests like this on my podcast because they really show how she stepped into her power and is using it to make an impact and serve other people through a business. And that's usually the kind of people I help. That's the kind of energy everyone's in that I know. so hearing her story, I hope you inspire today and then we're gonna talk about what she does and have some examples at the end. So it's gonna be great. But to get started, Marion, introduce yourself, your niche, exactly what you're doing so people can really know who you are.
Maren (01:35.411)
Yes, I'm Marion Rasmussen. So I'm from St. George, Utah, but I live up in northern Utah now. And like Aubyn said, I remember meeting you and being a little intimidated by you. But now I'm like, she just had that beautiful power woman in her and I just love it. So it's been so awesome to get to know you better. And you really have such a beautiful heart. I just love it so much. So okay.
Aubin Palmer (01:51.589)
Close it!
Aubin Palmer (01:55.907)
Yes.
Aubin Palmer (02:00.453)
quality.
Maren (02:01.633)
What do I do and how do do it? So years ago, I had an autoimmune disease called fibromyalgia and it opened the doors to me to energy work. I was kind of at the point where I'm like, I don't know what else to do to fix this. And I had someone recommend energy work to me. So at that time,
Aubin Palmer (02:17.37)
Yeah.
Aubin Palmer (02:21.733)
Can you tell us what the condition is? Is it like where your thyroid eats itself kind of like that? is it?
Maren (02:28.076)
They honestly, this this autoimmune disease, they had like pressure points that like they're like, we think this is what it is. But I am, they said it was stress related, like stress induced. And they like, looked at certain points on my body where I was in a lot of pain. And like, I was really tired, exercise made it worse. And so they kind of figured, but it was interesting because they were like,
Aubin Palmer (02:38.607)
Okay.
Aubin Palmer (02:52.645)
Okay.
Maren (02:55.604)
Oftentimes autoimmune diseases are just like stress induced or situationally induced. so looking back now, I'm like, my goodness, probably most autoimmune diseases have like an energetic factor that can be looked at. I found someone, I went to her and she does something called NAET, which is like an allergy elimination technique with energy work.
Aubin Palmer (03:11.619)
Yeah. Yeah.
Aubin Palmer (03:22.787)
Okay.
Maren (03:24.076)
over like within four sessions, my symptoms were all gone and I didn't have my own house anymore. And so from there, I was like, this is really interesting. And so that kind of opened the door of like, this helped me. Now I'm curious about it. And I found several other energy workers that I now call my mentors. just, would, I was their client and learned from them and
Aubin Palmer (03:29.221)
Wow.
Aubin Palmer (03:47.109)
Yeah.
Maren (03:51.698)
Soon, like within that process, I realized I had a gift in doing energy work.
Aubin Palmer (03:57.925)
So I wanna pause you there because I've always been curious about that because you received it as a client, but how did you figure out you had that same gift? Because I could be wrong, but it doesn't seem like everyone would have the same gift that you have.
Maren (04:10.1)
Yeah, so that's such a good question. There was one lady specifically, one of my energy workers I went to, that I feel like has a similar gift to me. And so she would start explaining, like, OK, I'm seeing this and I'm filling an ancestor that's from your mom's side or whatever. And I realized I'm like, I was seeing this before she explained it. And so
Aubin Palmer (04:37.87)
Yeah.
Maren (04:38.084)
In that moment, I was like, this is so interesting to be able to go to someone that has this gift and then to realize like that pulled out my gift like holy cow. And I feel like that happens in the coaching industry a lot. Like someone gets coached by a coach and then they're like, I love this. Like I want to be a coach too. And so yeah, it was kind of fun to figure it out that way. And then it did take time for me to figure out how do I use this?
Aubin Palmer (04:57.219)
Yeah. Okay.
Aubin Palmer (05:06.841)
Right, yeah.
Maren (05:07.699)
how do I like amplify it what am I supposed to do with it? And so I think I just allowed the seed to be planted of like, this feels like a gift, feels like a good thing. And so I believe in God, I'm just gonna trust that he's gonna help me figure out what to do with it. And so over the years, I started working on friends and family. And then I felt a push, I over time found Jodie Moore.
Aubin Palmer (05:25.188)
Nah.
Maren (05:37.161)
and her podcast. So that really opened me more to life coaching and mindset work. And I had said, I, you know, I realized like something's kind of missing with this, the energy work. Like I love this, but it feels like half-hearted a little bit. And I realized for me, it was the mindset work. So being able to.
Aubin Palmer (05:37.326)
Okay.
Aubin Palmer (05:56.261)
So were you already running a business as an energy worker, but then you saw life coaching too, or were you kind of just doing it here or there for friends and family?
Maren (06:03.601)
So I was just kind of doing it here and there for friends and family for free and just kind of playing around with it. think I don't think in my mind I ever thought that I would like work on someone like work on people and charge them and have a business until I found life coaching. And so that kind of opened my eye, which in life coaching, a lot of times we talk about business and how our gifts are meant to be shared. And one way to do that is to create a business.
Aubin Palmer (06:18.137)
Yeah.
Okay.
Maren (06:32.885)
And it felt super scary, but I just, felt a strong draw to bring together energy work and life coaching and see how they could mix together and really help my clients and help people in general. And so I started at first, I started for free. like worked on a bunch of other coaches that I knew for free and just little by little, I, I did a blog for a year.
Aubin Palmer (06:33.048)
Yeah.
Maren (07:01.702)
Like all of these things that I was like, I'm just going to be consistent and like see what comes of it. And I remember thinking a few days ago, was like, if like myself five or six years ago would have seen where I am today, they, would have, what? Like we created that.
Aubin Palmer (07:18.499)
Yes, I've been thinking the same thing. love that you're saying, have you seen the trend on reels of like myself in 2017? I'm like, that was eight years ago. Like eight years ago, I was a different person for sure. And that same energy I've seen, like we have these journeys and like, it sounds like your journey was really finding your gift that you didn't realize you had. And then being on the journey of like, how can I turn this into a business? How can I help people?
Maren (07:24.966)
I you.
Maren (07:30.087)
beyond.
Maren (07:44.995)
that.
Aubin Palmer (07:46.285)
and feel good about charging for it, which I think is one of the biggest obstacles service-based women entrepreneurs face is believing that they can have a gift, serve people, and charge for it. Does that sound like what was going on for you?
Maren (08:01.008)
yes. And especially in the religion that I like, the church I was raised in, like the religion, the things I believe, I remember really like battling like, is this okay? And then over time, I was like, this is so odd that we think we should go to work for 40 hours every week doing something we don't like and that we're not going to get paid.
Aubin Palmer (08:26.467)
Yeah, but we hate, right?
Maren (08:29.369)
But if we like something and we're good at it, we should not get paid for it. And so that was interesting.
Aubin Palmer (08:34.159)
Right? I'm so glad you said that because that's such a common belief people have. And I say especially as women because it is just more of a feminine energy to serve. And then especially with religion and culture, it's like, I have to have a job I hate or a stereotypical job. Like, if you're a doctor and you went through medical school, you can get paid for it, even if you're good at it and love it. But what if you don't? And what if it's just something you love and you want to
Maren (08:55.716)
Yes.
Aubin Palmer (09:03.247)
create an entrepreneurial business out of.
Maren (09:05.198)
Totally. And even I would think like, if you think of a doctor or someone that has a more stereotypical job that's okay to charge for, maybe they have a gift in that. And maybe they're pushing down the gift a little bit because they're like, I'm not allowed to get charged for my gifts. I'll just get charged for the things that I've like gone to school for, you know? So I totally agree. It's, it's like one of my big things now is to help my clients also open up to their gifts and be able to use those.
Aubin Palmer (09:12.867)
Right.
Aubin Palmer (09:24.261)
Yeah.
Aubin Palmer (09:34.714)
Yeah.
Maren (09:34.861)
for their betterment for others. I think it just enhances your life and so much joy. Like I recently quit my corporate job that I'd been at for years. And the other day I was like, my gosh, I'm so glad I'm not there anymore.
Aubin Palmer (09:48.099)
Okay, you have to what the job was. I think it's crazy that your corporate job is so different than your energy now in your business. So say what it was.
Maren (09:52.802)
Yeah. Yeah. So I was, I did a lot of roles there. I started in accounting and like I majored in finance. I started in accounting there and then I was a manager over sales operations and did project management and accounting. All of it. Yeah.
Aubin Palmer (10:08.185)
you know, numbers, ledgers, corp- like, systems, like, not energy. not the energy part.
Maren (10:13.537)
Yes, yeah. And it's so fun. Because I was really good at a lot of that too. Like I love numbers and I love like the specifics of that. And so it's fun too to like look at, don't just put yourself in a box of like, I'm only good at this.
Aubin Palmer (10:26.851)
Yeah, right. Exactly, I love that part of you so much, because it's like, you wouldn't guess that was your thing, but then it makes sense, because we can have talents on different aspects, and it's not just one box. So that's big that you, so it sounds like you've had a journey, so let's slow down a little bit, because we're like jumping all over, but when you were starting the business and starting to charge,
Maren (10:34.665)
Yeah.
Maren (10:38.658)
Yes, yes, totally.
Aubin Palmer (10:51.471)
How did you find peace with that and like actually start the business? Because you'd been doing it for free with friends and family, which that's what everyone does when they start. That's so normal. But how did you shift to actually saying it was a business, charging for it? What was...
Maren (10:55.766)
Mm-hmm.
Maren (11:08.15)
Yeah, I think the big shift happened for me when I went to Jody Moore's, she had something called Be Bold Masters. And it was just pretty much like a three or four day event where you went and learned from her. And I just felt a drive to do something more. And I really loved the concepts of life coaching and mindset work. And I wanted to share it and teach it. And so.
I started doing that with my employees at my corporate job. I started doing trainings every week that were mindset-based and a lot of them really loved it and they grabbed hold to it. And then that's when I started realizing like, okay, I want to do something more with this, I think. And so I think it was just a drive of there's something more I meant to do. And I do remember hearing, I don't know who it was, maybe Jody Moore, Brooke Castillo.
Just talk about like, there's probably people out there that you can help, but until you are charging for your services, they may not be able to find you. And that really rang true to me as well. Like how can someone find me? And that's, that has, that is what has helped me to like raise my prices over time is first to fill aligned with it. And then to also tap into that, like maybe there's people out there that want to find me, but they can't find me at this price point. And so I am meant to.
like raise my prices so that they can find me. And I also think money too, like I'm motivated by like money's fun for me. I love making it. I love creating it and seeing like things come in and come together. So that was like a fun part of it for me.
Aubin Palmer (12:35.673)
Yeah.
Aubin Palmer (12:50.485)
I love how you just said that so much. And I love to like, kind of, you can't see me maybe, but I see like, when you make money in your business, no, first you start making impact in your business, and that helps you make money. And then you make some money so you can go make more impact, because you can market, you can send stuff out, you can show up more, you can make time in your day for it because it's providing for you. So then you make more impact. And as you make more impact, you can raise your prices, and then you make more money.
and it goes back and forth with income and impact and they grow simultaneously, kind of in like our chart mode of numbers, but they're so correlated and when people are saying, I can't charge because it's service, I love to say the same thing of like, you're serving less people because you don't charge. And when you can embrace charging and creating money with it, it actually, in an energy,
Maren (13:25.585)
Yes.
Maren (13:36.733)
Yeah. Yeah.
Aubin Palmer (13:46.681)
growth. That is how it works because when they're getting it for free it stifles how much they get and how much service you can give for so many reasons. So when they get money it grows.
Maren (13:47.888)
Yeah.
Maren (13:55.197)
Yes, I totally agree. even like, yes, I think of clients and people that are willing to like invest more. like I remember at one point I had shifted my pricing. So I was still working on people that were paying at the lower price and then some at the higher price. And I remember the first few sessions, I was like, Whoa, like
It is just opening up so much. can see more energetically. I can get deeper. And I think a lot of that. Yes, it was cool to see it energetically that like investing more and putting more effort and time and like money into it, sacrificing in that way, I guess, is allowed the system to open up more and to get to more depth. So I can see that energetically. And then I also see that in my life too. Like when I put money into something, I give more attention to it and I'm willing to like invest my time.
Aubin Palmer (14:25.349)
That's so cool!
Aubin Palmer (14:49.059)
Right. Yeah, it's just natural in the energy, but that's so cool to hear that you actually feel more energy from people when they invest more because I have always said my clients with the best results pay me the most and that's not a coincidence. So that's like my same way of saying the same thing of like it's not. It's not a disservice to charge, which sometimes our brains like to think and so really believing would I have people afraid to raise their prices? I love to say.
Maren (15:01.404)
It's been.
Aubin Palmer (15:19.341)
the first service you're giving your client is to charge them. And there are some times like, But they're like, really feeling that changes the whole experience. And I love to say that when you give and receive, you're like opening a pathway, a gateway to each other and the energy of it. So when you say that you felt a different energy when people paid more, that just like confirms what I already believe so much, which is so cool to hear.
Maren (15:22.392)
Yes. Yeah.
Maren (15:43.394)
Yeah. And it was so great for me too, to also like, I went into it thinking like, I do think this will open up energetically more to me. And then when it did, I was like, whoa, this is like so much more depth. We can get to places that I don't think we could have had, had they not invested as much. And so I love it. I love the, I love money work, like being able to really look at the energy of money and see how it, really makes us
a different person when we're willing to see why is money an issue for me and why is this uncomfortable for me to charge or to spend money? I've noticed as I've done that work or helped my clients that they've been able to really change so much about themselves. Like what beliefs do you have to let go of to be able to willingly charge someone to pay you? And what type of person, who do you need to become to let those things go and like to allow
this money to come to you or to charge or to create a business or to go after your gifts and talents. Like I love all of it. So awesome.
Aubin Palmer (16:50.533)
That's, yeah, so powerful. I think, so why we get a lot souls? Because we're so aligned in believing that there's power in mindset and energy. And I found mindset first and then found energy work, and you found energy work and then found mindset. But how would you describe their correlation? Because I think we both agree on that, but I think that's an important part of the formation of your business and your niche of how they go together.
Maren (17:16.024)
Yeah. So when I look at things energetically, once I brought mindset work into it, I realized, wow, the energy simply gets stuck when we have memories or beliefs that are not aligned with our true light. And so it can get stuck and then it can show up as physical issues. It can show up as blocks to like, I can't receive money or I'm always in this bad relationship.
And so as soon as you can, like, I can go in and look at a client and be like, okay, we're going to release this energy that I'm seeing that's not useful. But until they change the belief about themselves, the energy can kind of get stuck again. So we make room and space for them to have time to change and open up to, hey, I'm learning to see it's okay to receive money. I'm learning to see that I'm, I'm worth having a healthy relationship.
And then that creates more space for the energy in the system to flow and to not get stuck so much. So I totally think mindset work is like it's hand in hand. They come together and support each other. Additionally, if you change your, like if you're with a coach and you're changing your beliefs, that is releasing energy. That's releasing those stuck areas that might need some shifting or a realignment for your system.
Aubin Palmer (18:38.885)
Yeah, that's beautiful. I love how you said that. And I think recognizing both for what they are, but that they do go very hand in hand together is really powerful. And so I think that's why you're so cool because there is like a huge mindset world and there is a huge energy world and you're bringing them together very clearly and that that's what you do. So for your own journey, like after you had started to build your own business and decided to be a mindset coach and
do the energy work, how did you kind of come to where you are in your business now?
Maren (19:12.426)
one of the things I always go back to, once again, think Jody Moore was like a big, like, she helped me a lot and Brooke Castillo. And I remember on one of her podcasts, she talked about, she went to the life coach school and she started her business. And at this point, I think she was making a million dollars or so. And she said the only difference between me that started at that time and someone else that doesn't have a business anymore is that I didn't quit. And.
that has been kind of my mantra throughout all of this. Like, I'll go back to like, do I still want to do this? Does this feel aligned and right for me? And it's always a yes. And so when the hard times come, I'm like, oh, this is when everyone quits. And this is when I'm not going to like, I'm just going to know this is part of it. And this is like, it's really through those times when I want to quit that I have like the biggest aha moments, or I can shift beliefs about myself. And
Aubin Palmer (19:52.015)
Yeah.
Maren (20:12.19)
move into something else and continue just to progress. So I know it's like, it's little by little ideas come to me and I follow them. I've learned more about myself and how I show up in a business. And so when I have an idea, instead of like being scared about it, I just put it out there and see who comes. And I'm like, I'm going to make this happen, even if I feel a little bit nervous. I really think it really is just those little steps. then like,
I'm not going to quit. I'm just going to keep going this until this works until it's what I want it to be.
Aubin Palmer (20:46.053)
Yes. I love that so much and that you found that power. That's definitely power. And I love to say that the hardest part of business is not learning the strategy or the skills. It's learning how to be disappointed and learning how to say, oh, this didn't work how I thought it was or, oh, I put all of my energy and believed in 100 % and it still didn't work exactly how I thought it would. And that is when people quit. You're right. Exactly. And learning how to be okay with that and try again and do it again is
like the refiner's fire of business that you get to choose to do or not. And some people are like, nope, I'm out. This isn't for me. And that's okay. Like no judgment. But if you want your business to work, I love that idea of like, it's just because I don't quit and having that mantra for yourself, that declaration of like, I'm not going to quit. I'm just going to keep trying is so powerful because that is what stops people. It's not that it didn't work. It's that they give up and decide not to keep trying.
Maren (21:41.931)
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like it's a definite choice of like, hey, I either like, I don't want to do this anymore. It doesn't feel right for me. And I'm happy with what I did. And now I'm going to go try something else versus, this is too hard. I'm going to quit. Like it must be wrong because it's hard. And no, I just choose to believe like, no, I'm going to keep figuring this out until it's worked. And I have to believe too that like this is working. Like,
Aubin Palmer (21:57.016)
Yeah.
Maren (22:10.57)
I'm totally figuring it out. It's working right now for me. It's all happening for me. And that really helps me get like kind of stay in that good momentum and abundance as I'm like through this journey of creating a business and helping people.
Aubin Palmer (22:24.899)
Yes, I think that's so beautiful and it's, it just is what gives you your power because I love to say power is what's in your control, what other people aren't deciding for you. And so whether or not people buy from you, that is not truly your power, but what's in your power is how you're gonna show up, what you're gonna do with the results you get, how you're gonna try again, that everything you just got just really aligns with that of like what I just say is your power is your thoughts, your feelings and your actions.
or basically your energy was another way of saying it. So I love that. So this is a great place to ask to like kind of learn more about what you teach with energy and mindset combined. Because when I asked like, what can we talk about on this episode? You said, well, I've talked about business, money or generational network. I was like, can we do all of those? I think those are all so cool. It's so important to talk about. So.
Maren (22:54.601)
Yes, yes, I love it.
Aubin Palmer (23:18.341)
You tell me how's the best way to like look at each of those with what you do in energy work.
Maren (23:24.115)
Yeah. So I feel like we kind of talked a little bit about business and money already, but really when I look at someone's energetic system, a lot of times the main things that come up are like money, health, relationships, career stuff. And so that often comes up and everybody's different. However, there are some like significant similarities between each of the areas that they work on and
Money and business are often closely tied together. feel like how much you can expand your business and career really is like how much can I receive? How much am I open to creating? how much do I give? Other people are in charge of how much I make. And that can be hard. If you work for an institution or the government or something where it's like, you can only make this much, it can feel very like
you can get capped or there's a ceiling. However, when energetically, if you can open up to, there's lots of doors of how money can come to me, how I can succeed in my business, especially mindset work, like what we think we really like put out in the world and it comes back to us energetically, or we might be pushing off.
energy and support the energy of money that wants to come support you if we're not open to different ways that it can come. But a lot of times I will also see with money specifically, religion kind of comes in of like money is evil. And that one's always interesting. I feel like most people kind of have a little sense of that like money is evil or it's dirty.
And so really like bringing awareness, my whole goal is to like bring awareness to what's going on in the client system. This is what I'm seeing and then seeing it and releasing it. So pretty much I have awareness of it and we're telling it, you can move now. We don't need this anymore. And then bringing in new beliefs that they can focus on. Now this moves into generational.
Aubin Palmer (25:36.741)
Okay, well can I ask a question before we go to generational first? Because as I've studied money and energy with money, I think the biggest thing I hear is that money is neutral and that it then matches your energy. Has that been true? like, because that question is money evil. There are evil people with lots of money doing really evil things and I think that's where some people get that idea. But the money is matching the energy of the person. Or how have you seen that work with energy and money?
Maren (25:39.454)
yeah, sorry, yeah.
Maren (25:54.052)
Mm.
Maren (26:04.995)
Yeah, that's, I love that. love thinking about it that way. So when I see the, the energy of money, the first thing I always notice is like, it's kind of a flow. It's always moving. energy, the energy of money and light always wants to come to you. Like it just, it wants to support you. And so, yes, I would say how you explained it. Yes, I could see that definitely like.
energetically, you can only receive light and abundance if you are an energetic match for that. And that's the point of like, let's release this other stuff that's not useful so that we can help you raise your vibration and really become a better energetic match. also think it's important to not characterize money. So like you said, like making it more neutral. When people put like money and evil together or
money and they're so like snobby. That's the one I hear a lot. Then it kind of pushes money away like, we don't want to be evil or snobby. So we're just going to push that away energetically. I think also like allowing money to be a support to you like, hey, money, money can be a tool that can help me reach more people. can be more generous. Like you can also use those things to help support you and connecting with and allow like it's almost like a friend that's like,
Aubin Palmer (27:08.069)
Yeah.
Maren (27:32.65)
I wanna help you. But then we like shut the door.
Aubin Palmer (27:35.055)
I love you so much because that's what I say. Money is my friend and it's never abandoned me. Like that's one of the things I say about money. I think that that's so powerful that we're saying the same thing because it's not like this evil source trying to take over you and change you. No, it's it's got your back. It's helping you be you, which is why instead of it being like something that's overpowering you, it's kind of like your sidekick. Like you're the main character. You're in charge.
Maren (27:52.62)
Yes.
Maren (28:02.476)
Yeah.
Aubin Palmer (28:04.355)
The money just amplifies who you are and helps you do that more, whether you're good or bad.
Maren (28:09.06)
Yes. And I always say that too, like money just makes you more of what you already are. Right. And that's another reason why I money work is because when you have issues or push, push and pull with money, you can kind of see, okay, there's some beliefs there. I didn't realize I had that I'm noticing they're not useful. Like it's okay for me to change how I think about this and myself. So, so awesome.
Aubin Palmer (28:14.223)
Nah.
Aubin Palmer (28:29.199)
Right.
Aubin Palmer (28:33.123)
Yeah, I think that's so good. I think it's actually important too though that money does have powerful energy in itself. So we're saying it's like the secondary thing, but I think it is powerful and that giving it credit for the power that it has. So it's not that it's evil, but that it is, it has a powerful energy. And so I like to say it's like a notch above neutral. Like it's good and it has good intentions and it's a powerful energy, but we still have
control over what it does and what kind of direction we put that energy ourselves. But we can also block it because we think, I don't want to be like the snobby people, but you don't have to be a snobby. The money doesn't make you snobby. You get to decide how you act and the money then amplifies whatever you want.
Maren (29:04.64)
Yes.
Yeah, that's-
Maren (29:20.907)
I totally agree. Like, because I do see more positivity with it rather than just like the neutral, that yeah, it wants to support you and wants to help you just make you more of what you are in light and truth. so allowing that in and not fearing it and not giving it power, right? Not giving it power in a way that it's going to make you something like it's just helping you see more of what is already there. So it's like, it's a magnifying glass almost. Yeah.
Aubin Palmer (29:27.182)
Yeah.
Aubin Palmer (29:47.418)
Right.
It's like a mirror of telling you who you are even at like a higher degree. it's, love magnifying glass, it's like making bigger who you are, but it's also showing you who you are, matching you that way. So that's powerful energy. we could talk about this all day. This is so exciting. But I want to hear what you were going to say about generation, because I think that's connected to this too.
Maren (29:55.946)
Yes.
Maren (30:00.714)
Yes, yes. I love it.
Yeah.
Maren (30:12.726)
yeah. Yeah, so I was just going to say like with money is evil. A lot of times that is generational. And so when I work on people, ancestors show up all the time. I'm not a medium, but I think like most, like a lot of people can connect with people that have passed on. They can fill their ancestors there with them or someone that's close to them that's passed on. And oftentimes as we work on ourselves,
really only helps our ancestors and our kids to also release the generational patterns and beliefs that have caused people to get really stuck. And money is evil is like always a generational belief. Like I'll be like, okay, I can feel that coming from your dad's line. We're just going to lovingly give that back to the ancestor it started with. And we're going to open up your system to receiving in truth about money and like what money is for you and how it can show up for you.
And knowing that your ancestors want to help you, like that is one of my favorite things about generational energy and seeing it is that we are so interconnected and there really are ancestors there that are just waiting for you. they're just like, ask for my help. And we need to, we need to invite them in and you can do that just in your mind, like grandma so-and-so or sometimes I'll just pray and I'll be like, anyone that's in light and for my highest good.
please come and help me and my family. I invite you in to support us knowing that they will and that they want to. And generational energy oftentimes shows up as something that's really stuck in your system and it's hard to change. And that's because you're trying to change something that's not yours. So if you've worked on something a lot and you're like, just like cannot get this. I've done mindset work on it. I've done all these things.
You can just ask the simple question, is this mine? And trust whatever comes like, is this mine? And if it's like, nope, this isn't yours. And like a grandma comes to mind or someone else, you can just think about, okay, I'm going to give this back to you. And then the key point is to change your identity with that. Like if I used to think I'm really bad with money and that, and I'm realizing, wait a second, that's what my mom believed or something. I'm just going to give that back to her.
Maren (32:38.079)
Now the key is to change your mindset of like, I no longer identify as someone that's bad with money. I identify as a person that's powerful, enlightened. I'm a good steward over the things that are given to me. I'm open to receiving. So there's, yeah, there's just so much that comes in, so much depth with generational work and being able to like really feel free and knowing I don't need to hold onto this anymore.
Aubin Palmer (33:06.149)
That's fascinating. didn't, I mean, I've even done one thing before and I didn't realize it was that simple of saying like, I've, I have this energy from this parent or grandparent or whatever, and I can just choose to release it and let it go and not carry it. How does it get passed to us? Like how do we first obtain that energy? Do we even know?
Maren (33:27.63)
So there's stuff online that you can read about how like DNA, there's like energetics that get passed down as well. But really the way I see it is simply through thoughts and beliefs and how like how your parents showed up. Like that's how the energy is.
Aubin Palmer (33:42.083)
I got, yeah, just the conditioning that we grew up with and what they said and we just adopt that belief and energy. But we didn't necessarily want to believe it. We just learned it as a child with our innocence of like, what is truth? And we just take whatever our parents give us, whether it is true or not.
Maren (33:47.384)
Yeah. Yes. Yeah. And you'll notice.
Maren (33:58.596)
Yes.
Yeah. And like our neural pathways, our brain form, I think between age like zero and five, it's like 80 % formed. So it's like, we don't have a lot of agency in those moments to choose what we take in, but it is interesting. You'll notice like some siblings will carry a certain generational belief where the others won't. And so it really is just how you take in the information around you. Probably your personality like takes a role in that too. And then being able to
Aubin Palmer (34:04.92)
Yeah.
Aubin Palmer (34:09.101)
Yeah.
Aubin Palmer (34:17.423)
Yeah.
Aubin Palmer (34:26.775)
Yeah. Yeah.
Maren (34:29.768)
The main thing is to realize like, okay, this isn't mine and I don't need to carry it anymore. And changing that identity about yourself, like no longer identifying with that thing.
Aubin Palmer (34:41.573)
That's beautiful. And I think really just giving yourself that power, I love to really emphasize that as like, people bring up stuff from childhood all the time and I say, it doesn't matter if it's from your mom or your grandma or someone else said it, it's your choice today to keep it. And that's what your power is. So if we focus on who gave it to you and why, we could look at why a little bit just for clarity.
But the real power comes into saying, here I am today believing it. Why? Why do I still want to believe it? Is it serving me to believe this? Why am I carrying this still? And really taking that power back and saying, no, this isn't me. I love that question. Is this mine? And most of the time it's not. feel like a lot of the stuff we're carrying in belief isn't ours at all.
Maren (35:19.254)
And yeah.
Maren (35:28.716)
guess.
Yes, and you can even see that like generationally, but then even in the world, like the way the way the country thinks about something or how social media presents something like, or a friend, maybe you have a friend that's like really outspoken and you're like, wait, I'm realizing that I'm just like carrying this because I think I need to believe that like her and it's okay to lovingly give it back.
Aubin Palmer (35:36.569)
Yeah.
Aubin Palmer (35:40.515)
Right?
Aubin Palmer (35:46.885)
Bye.
Maren (35:54.769)
And one thing I noticed when we give it back, it always turns to light. So it's good to give it back. It doesn't add more darkness. It turns to light because awareness is what everyone needs and they need all their power. Right. So it's a beautiful gift all around.
Aubin Palmer (35:55.354)
Yeah.
Aubin Palmer (36:07.929)
Yeah. So if it's like a limiting belief, like it sounded like we were giving an example of like money is evil and say I got that from my mom and I give it back to her, how is that light? Like explain that process for me with that kind of thought.
Maren (36:20.693)
So energetically, I could maybe see that stuck in your head or something. I'm like, I'm seeing some energy coming in from your mom's side and that's your mom's. And so we're going to lovingly give that back to her. The way I see it is an image of like maybe with you, it's this heavy boulder or rock or darkness. And then as soon as we give it back to the person it belongs to, which if it's not your mom's and you give it back, it will like skip your mom and go to the correct person. Yeah.
Aubin Palmer (36:47.703)
Okay, because it might just be my mom's generation.
Maren (36:50.197)
But if, if it is, it, you know, whoever you give it back to, because what I've always noticed is when they receive it back, it turns to like almost like awareness or like I said, yeah, it's the power and it's not going to automatically change them. But I have seen times where it's almost like it loosens things up because now they have more of their light back with them to be able to change, see like, see it differently.
Aubin Palmer (37:00.645)
for them too. Okay.
Aubin Palmer (37:08.398)
Right.
Aubin Palmer (37:17.765)
Wow, yeah.
Maren (37:20.092)
And so I just love, I love generational work and working on all this because it really does, it helps the masses as you work on yourself. And I think that's the same with belief work and coaching. Like as you change yourself, it does influence those around you.
Aubin Palmer (37:24.665)
Yeah.
Aubin Palmer (37:32.719)
Nah.
Aubin Palmer (37:36.837)
because it gives a different energy. I think it puts me in a different energy when I do that mindset work, because like we said, they're totally related. So I shift my mindset. I have a new energy. People feel that energy around me and they don't even have to know it's impacting them, but they feel it and it helps them shift their energy. So this is how I experience it. Does that feel true to you with that?
Maren (37:38.24)
Mm-hmm.
Maren (37:55.936)
Yeah, 100%. Yes. 100 % true. feel like all that. Yes. It's like, everything is so energetic. And so as you do, I told someone I'm like, everything is energy work. Like I specifically do it a certain way, but like, everything's energy. And so all the things we're doing is working. It's a working of energy. So yeah.
Aubin Palmer (38:02.489)
Yes.
night.
Aubin Palmer (38:08.996)
Yes.
Aubin Palmer (38:13.294)
I love that.
Aubin Palmer (38:17.507)
That's so cool. And I think that's so powerful. Like it doesn't put pressure on me. I let it put pressure on me. I used to as like the mom, like I have to be in a good energy all the time to help my family be in a good energy. But now I see it as a power. And like last night this was happening. We were all tired. We had stayed up too late the night before. Everyone was snapping at each other. I was doing it too. And then I paused and I said, wait, everyone's matching my energy right now. And I think we're all in that energy ourselves.
But if they're matching this energy, I wonder if they'll match a different energy. And I literally like, processed my feelings for like two seconds and then helped myself shift into love, which I think love is my superpower as a mom and in relationships. And I really just felt love. And when they would snap at me, I would just give them a hug. And when they would say something kind of mean to me, I would say, I'm sorry you're feeling that way. That's frustrating. I get it. And I met their like negative energy with love.
Maren (39:13.502)
and
Aubin Palmer (39:14.575)
and the energy in the house changed within like 10, 15 minutes. I mean, I gave it space, but it was just like, instead of seeing it as pressure that I have to be in a good energy, I saw it as a power of like, if I want to change the energy in this house, I don't yell at them and tell them to stop yelling at me. I meet their frustration and anger with love and it changes the energy. And so it totally worked. Yeah.
Maren (39:18.686)
Thank you.
Maren (39:34.514)
Yes, I love that. It's so beautiful. Such a perfect example. Yeah.
Aubin Palmer (39:41.603)
And it's that simple. It's just like little family interactions at dinnertime. But seeing that power we have in our energy, think in little moments like that helps you see, okay, so what's my energy with my business? What's my energy with my money? What's my energy in this lunch I'm doing? Like seeing that, it's like, wait, it's not gonna, if I am stressed and frustrated, what am I gonna bring to me? Okay, if I'm in love, abundance, service, fun.
Maren (39:53.822)
Thank you.
Aubin Palmer (40:10.255)
What am I gonna bring to me? We get what we match. Like it matches us so it's power.
Maren (40:11.014)
Thank you.
Yeah, totally. I totally agree. And even like the one of the feelings I with my business is like when I'm relaxed and like this is all happening for me. I just feel like clients flow and then when I get like a little stressed or like overwhelmed or tight, no one comes. And so I've seen it enough times now that yes, like energy and other people we like we respond and we feel.
Aubin Palmer (40:23.653)
Mmm.
Aubin Palmer (40:33.805)
Yes. Right? Yes.
Maren (40:43.148)
things around us and we respond to it in the ways that it wants to be responded to.
Aubin Palmer (40:49.153)
Exactly. And I think I wanted to ask this is like a great segue back to the generations because we're going to talk to how we can take negative energy from our generations. But can we also take some of their positive energy from those that have passed? Like the example that came to my mind is my grandfather, who was a super entrepreneur. He had like 10 businesses going at the same time. He didn't get to go to college, which was like the stereotype of success back then. Not anymore as much, I feel. But he like he wanted to provide. So he just created.
money. created business. He always had some new and he works like 20 hour days. Like he just worked hard. But I like he passed away a year ago and I sometimes feel like he's just with me giving me ideas as a fellow entrepreneur because my family is not very entrepreneurial. having that connection with my grandfather who's passed I think is a special connection I have. So do you have any awareness or anything you could share with us about that as well?
Maren (41:31.036)
Mm-hmm.
Maren (41:46.122)
Yes, I love that because oftentimes we will focus more on the negative aspects of like, no, what am I caring for my parents? But there is there's totally the opposite end of gifts, blessings, miracles, beliefs that have been passed down. And I think one just recognizing that also like thinking about your ancestors and maybe one comes to mind more often than the others and just knowing that that one is probably like your grandfather like
I feel like he's with me in this and he is like, would totally believe that and just keep inviting his help in. I don't know the specifics of how they help us, but I know they do. And I see it all the time and I see them want it like, ask us for help. We're here to support you. They have networks on the other side that we don't have. And so they can make things happen that maybe we can't make happen.
Aubin Palmer (42:38.733)
That's a polite shout. They have networking that you can tap into by just saying, hey, talk to so and so who's so and so's grandma and help her. I don't know who you know, but talk to them for me.
Maren (42:49.978)
Yes, yes, I totally see that all the time where it's like, and even sometimes, sometimes I'll like, feel ancestors come to me from friends and family that I'm not working on. And I will always tell the ancestor, go work on your like daughter, whoever, and have them come to me and I will help them. Like, it's just noticing like there are, there's, there's networking, there's ideas, oftentimes, if like, there's a
Aubin Palmer (42:53.22)
believe that.
Aubin Palmer (43:09.701)
Wow.
Maren (43:16.78)
a medical problem in a family or something, I'll invite them. Like ask your ancestors if they are there any doctors that have passed on that know about this that can then support you or the doctors that are helping your family or your family member. so I, I, yeah, I don't think it's just some, this some like fun idea. I, I believe it's real from what I've seen and we can really open up to even like, I don't know what my gifts are. Can my
your ancestors can help support you in seeing what your gifts are.
Aubin Palmer (43:50.703)
What's coming to me as you're saying this, Meredith, is like, we can't see them, obviously, but their energy is still there and we can sense their energy like we were talking about, even just interacting with my kids. And they can interact in energy with other people in ways we can't, but they can share some of that energy with us. so, not having a connection with them is just to our disadvantage. And so, yes, there's some...
maybe limiting beliefs or negative energy we'll take from generations, but we can also glean from their energy and power as well. And so we get to choose which to focus on, be aware of the things we don't wanna care anymore, give it back. And that makes me actually feel so much better to know that it gives them light, because I felt kind of bad, honestly, like I'm giving you this boulder back, here you go. But knowing that it actually helps them to give it back makes me feel so good about it. And then...
Maren (44:39.065)
Yeah.
Aubin Palmer (44:47.525)
It just creates a connection and a power with your generations. It's so beautiful.
Maren (44:50.712)
Yeah, so interconnected and just really like most ancestors I would say are just full of light and want to support you. So I think you said it perfectly everything you said.
Aubin Palmer (45:04.756)
I love it. I've just, I've always had a, I didn't know as much as you, but I just had like a feeling that there was power from my generations. And so this is so cool just to talk about it because you know how you've had an idea and then you're like, am I crazy? But then someone else says it you're like, okay. I love this. That's exactly. I love it. Yes. Yes. Thank you. I have marriage permission. So.
Maren (45:17.911)
Yes, yes. Yes, yes, I give you permission to believe your ancestors are with us and to like open up and invite them in.
Yes.
Aubin Palmer (45:33.461)
Marin said she was willing to and I think this would be perfect right now to kind of demonstrate what she does because I had talked to her before and heard about it, but when she actually did it it was just so I Couldn't even have imagined basically how you do it. So I think it would be good for people to hear it and See what it actually looks like so they can know if that's something they're interested in because when we're done Marin will leave all her information so you can contact her if you would like to reach out
Maren (45:59.511)
Yes. Okay, I do like to ask if there's anything specific you want me to focus on before I get started.
Aubin Palmer (46:09.177)
Yeah, I'll just be super vulnerable. I think it's good when leaders and coaches are vulnerable. So I am opening up a new program. I'm, I said I burned my business down in May and I'm rebuilding it all up from the ashes like a phoenix. And I've had this brand of Power Women for a while, but I'm going to make it very strong. And like everything I do is called Power Women. So not just my podcast, but all my programs, everything I do.
just to make it more cohesive and powerful and clear and simple and messaging. But that takes some to say I'm like burning it down and then rebuilding it. So of course there is a little fear there, but I have learned how to have fear and disappointment in business and I'm excited to still be the creator and create this. So that's kind of the energy I've been today. Wow.
Maren (46:45.182)
Yeah.
Maren (46:49.577)
Yeah. Yeah.
Maren (46:58.613)
Awesome. Yeah. Let's look at that. Let's see what comes up. Okay. I am feeling your grandfather that you were talking about. So I'm just going to invite his energy and to support you. And yeah, he already knows he has permission to support you. So that looks really good. Let's see. So when you talked about like burning your business down, it took me to some ashes.
So let's look at where that's kind of living in your system. And this is taking me to your stomach and your gut. So let's go to that area. this is really interesting. So, I don't know much about the biology of like ashes and things like that, but there is an energy in here that it feels like as you like burned your business down and like allowed that to kind of the ashes to get into the soil.
at least these specific ashes that feel okay, that it's almost like it's bringing out new life. The ashes are feeding new seeds is what I'm hearing. And so I'm just going to really enhance this. I'm going to clear the black, the blackness that I'm seeing because I don't think we need that. And even maybe some beliefs that like,
Aubin Palmer (48:10.693)
Yeah.
Maren (48:24.467)
I'm just hearing like little beliefs of like, I did it wrong the first time. I should have set it up differently. We're just going to clear that and help your system almost just take in this new soil and allow the seed. It's almost like this needed to happen for these seeds to grow. They needed this specific soil. So I'm going to enhance that because it looks so good. And now I want to see what's feeding the soil or like what water it needs.
and sunshine to help the seeds really grow and flourish. And the first analogy that's coming to mind is something we've talked about before is, you know, when you plant a seed, you don't just keep going and like digging it up to make sure the seed's still there and that it's growing. So I'm really going to put some energy in there of belief that there are seeds, that they're in the perfect soil and that they are growing. Good. That looks super good.
Aubin Palmer (49:11.866)
Yeah.
Maren (49:22.611)
I am feeling some energy from your mom's side generationally that we kind of need to clear here. And part of that is still going along with the ashes that I'm seeing. And the energy that I'm feeling is kind of like ashes are bad and burning something is bad. So it can't like something like this can't make something better. Like if we have a negative
attribute. There's nothing good about it and it's just going to make this worse. We're going to clear that out of your system as well. Once again, still in your gut area.
I specifically tell you where it is in your body too, because sometimes physical symptoms might come out that are related to that. Not always. But I also want to help the system know that I'm seeing where it is and that we're ready to really bring light to it. And I love this too. So in this same area, I'm seeing creation and ideas which are related to the seeds.
But I still, the black energy I'm still seeing. So I'm just gonna keep clearing that and your mom's energy is coming in again. So let's see what else we need to clear there.
Okay, this feels like an energy from an ancestor several generations back. It's a woman and it just feels like her energy, like maybe she made a bad mistake or one mistake and she just feels tarnished from it. Like I did this one thing and now like I can never be good. And that's what this, the black energy is kind of showing me of like your system saying, no, I can, I can be grateful for what I created.
Maren (51:08.697)
release that and allow that to like nourish the soil, which looks so awesome. And then we want to release this generational aspect that's saying, if I didn't do it right the first time, then it's all messed up or because I made one mistake, I'm a mistake. So I'm going to clear that. And once again, we're giving this lovingly back to this ancestor, which turns to light. And I always send more light to the ancestors that may be feeling the heaviness. Good. that looks so much better.
So now I'm seeing just a lot more light in your gut. And with the seeds, I'm actually seeing some words showing up on the seeds, some letters. Power, that's interesting. So like a P-O-W-E-R on each of the seeds. So I'm just going to enhance that.
And then there's more seeds, almost like power then creates other words that you're going to resonate with that will allow you to create offshoots of your power program. I'm going to open up your system to that as well. These are already seeds that you've planted. And so maybe you're consciously aware, maybe you're not. But even like an offshoot of one day like power men or.
business and power. Like there's just these little offshoots that come from this main energy of power.
Yeah, spirituality with your as a mom, like it's, helping all of it. It's all combined and supporting each role of an individual that you work with. Good. Okay. the next thing I'm going to do, and then we'll close up, we'll just do this a short little session here, but I'm going to, it's sending energy to your crown chakra, your head. And this is where I kind of see things related to God or higher power, revelation, enlightenment, all of that.
Maren (53:03.581)
And your head is really light. I'm seeing a lot of light coming. it's like at your head, but it's not moving at all. It kind of feels a little stuck right at your crown. So I'm going to release that and some energy from your dad's sides coming in here. it, it feels like, a scarcity around light or scarcity around revelation and enlightenment and ideas. So I'm going to clear that.
It's almost like, no, you better keep it. Like if you have the enlightenment now, you better keep it because it's not going to come back or there's not enough. We're going to clear that and open up your crown chakra to really see the abundance cycle. Like there's always enough light is expansive. It's infinite. There's enough ideas. There's enough money. There's enough clients. There's enough of me. We're really going to expand that.
because that energy now is coming into your stomach and gut where those seeds are. And it's the light, like the sunlight that's helping those seeds to grow.
Good. That looks awesome. if you had, you know, if you were a client of mine, would say like, if you ever notice you get in that scarcity, just remind yourself it's okay to release that, give it back to your dad's side and then allow the sunlight to come in and really help those seeds grow. Good. That looks so awesome. Okay. Just going to make sure everything's flowing well specific to your business and like shifting things.
And there is one more little idea that I'm seeing coming in. And maybe it's a higher ticket one because I'm seeing like a higher ticket number on there, like $10,000 or more. I'm just going to invite that in so that your system can really play around with it and look at it and see if it's something that you want to do.
Maren (54:59.693)
Um, and one thing I love also is when ideas come to us, it's usually because there's someone else in the universe that's asking for it. love that idea. So I'm seeing that here almost like someone else is pinging you like, Hey, I want to pay this or I want this idea to be manifest so I can purchase it. So I'm going to enhance that. Good.
Okay, beautiful. I'm just gonna make sure the light's flowing well and then I'm gonna close up your session and then see if you have any questions.
Aubin Palmer (55:31.461)
was so cool, Maren, I loved that. And it was just so good to like, there's so much I could like expound on what you said. And that's what everyone says after your sessions is like, oh my gosh, how did you know that? How did you see that? Like that's, that's what I was thinking. That's what's been going on. But you just being able to read that energy is such a gift. And that just, it's so, I feel like when I am the client, it's just like.
Nothing surprising, but it's like reaffirming to me of like, yes, that's the energy that is true. Okay, stop doubting it. Let's move forward. And like there's so many cool things I'm gonna do with what you just said to me. And I'm spoiled because it's recorded on this podcast episode so I could listen to it whenever I want. But this was so helpful. I get, I'm so lucky I got to just have a little session with you now at the end of the podcast. But I think that was so good for everyone listening to hear like as we talked about the ideas of it to actually see what that looks like.
Maren (55:59.245)
Mm-hmm.
Aubin Palmer (56:26.149)
I think that's so helpful to hear that example. So if anyone is interested in having a session of their own with you, how could they contact you?
Maren (56:27.712)
Yes.
Maren (56:35.583)
Yes, you can reach me on Instagram at livingawakewithmarin. also have a website which is livingawakewithmarin.com and I check both regularly. So you can reach out to me there. I also have some videos there. You can kind of see more of what I do and explains kind of a little bit more in depth what I do as well. So I would love to meet with you.
Aubin Palmer (56:57.817)
Yes, that's beautiful. We'll put that in the show notes for everybody. And is there anything else you would like to say as we wrap up, Mary?
Maren (57:05.492)
Yeah, I think just understanding and really believing or being open to the belief that you are already equipped with everything, like the light, the power is within you. When I work on anyone, the light's already there. It's not like I'm trying to get it from other people to fill them up. We're just kind of uncovering beliefs that have like blocked it or that they've covered it up with other things. So.
I just want you to be open to that, like your lights there, the abilities, the things that you want and be willing to really step into that power.
Aubin Palmer (57:39.277)
Yes, that just makes my heart so happy to hear you say that, because that is exactly what I say about power. Like, everyone's a power woman. The power isn't, we're not finding it or gaining it. We're reminding and uncovering the power that's already in there. So same exact idea. I love that so much, and that aligns perfectly with this podcast. So thank you for being here today. So grateful that you would take the time to share your gift and light with us, and I hope it inspires all the power women listening.
Maren (57:53.694)
Yes.
Aubin Palmer (58:07.673)
to keep sharing their light and gift with others because it can be a business, it can change other people's lives, and it can have money involved because like we said, it changes the energy of the whole thing for everyone. So I loved that. Hope everyone has a great week. And like I mentioned, kind of with our work, I am opening up a new program, Power Women Collective. It starts June 4th, so.
Maren (58:19.525)
Yeah.
Aubin Palmer (58:32.761)
There's details in the show notes for that too if you're interested because this is my new way of helping power women find their own power and grow collectively in power as we find it together. So I'm excited to help more power women in that way and I will see you all next week. Thanks, Marin.
Maren (58:51.217)
Thank you.
