“Stopping because things get difficult”. A sign your not aligned? Why is this a sign? If you have a passion for something, it brings you joy, you are gifted at it and it brings others joy sometimes doing that passion has difficult moments. All this “advice” feels vague. She seems well intended but not completely practical from what I heard in the interview. I get being stuck in the “people pleasing” rut but unless you choose to live in the woods and forage for your own food you have to please people to some extent to earn a living.
I loved, loved, LOVED this interview! ❤️ Thank you both for such a great discussion around the single most important aspect of our lives: that of our alignment with our deepest truth. 🙏 “Out of all Of the strategies and skills that I’ve ever learned the ones that actually work are the ones that help people see where they have abandoned their own sense of Truth and followed some other one’s set of directions.” ~Martha Beck “It’s better to die telling your truth than to live without it.” ~ Martha Beck For this past decade I have been literally silenced (under threat), and isolated, for being the ‘holder of information’ regarding the lies and deceptions of certain spiritual teachers. I truly felt this was some thing I had to do…and because of that, it felt as though I was slowly dying. This is no exaggeration. In February if 2019 I began speaking...at first with the names of the teachers protected. This was very confusing as the story was complex. Now, as I begin to bring myself more and more into alignment with ‘me’ (the opposite of what certain patriarchal teachings would have) I am feeling much lighter and with a ‘wholeness’ that is finally beginning to come to the foreground. A bit of my tale can be found here: www.IntegrityInTruth.com ❤️🌷🙏🔥
I agree to an extent with not doing things you don't want to, but how would a person cultivate discipline if they didn't have practice sticking with something and "just doing it"?
I am currently reading Martha’s book. I have been in therapy for four years and have read around 40 books on all subjects regarding abuse, codependency, and others searching for my truth and authenticity. “The Way of Integrity “ has given me my “Aha” moment. It just makes so much sense as a way to cut through so much confusion and focus on the most important element in living the good, honest life. At age 75, I am filled with hope and excitement for my remaining years. Thank you, Martha!
Thanks for giving me hope. My current role model of a mom is 72, apathetic, and has dementia. I need to hear more stories of people excited about life in their 70s and beyond! That's why I follow Sassy Gran on youtube. She's in her 90s and loves her life!
"Without exception, we are all abandoning our true nature to serve some version of culture." If there's anything this pandemic has done, it is providing the gift of introspection and a deeper level of self awareness.
You really nailed it. Thank you for wording it so well. I find I am letting a lot of so-called friendships go, because the way people express themselves about where they stand on masking or not, distancing or not, injections or not, is so telling.
Nope, did not work for me. I have spent my entire life being introspective. The pandemic restrictions robbed me of my freedom to move to Europe where my heart and soul belong. Was blocked by closed borders. So, the pandemic crushed my FREEDOM-one of the 4 basic needs!
I came from a specific background where the expectations of you were overbearing. And that's an understatement. When I walked away from that, for about 6 months, I intensively questioned every habit I had. I asked myself Do I really like this activity? Do I feel fulfilled by it? If I don't like doing it; why do I do it? Is it an obligation? A duty? Am I doing it because I think it's what is expected of me? Is that expectation real or in my head? If it's real, is it reasonable? If it's not my duty; what would happen if I dropped the activity? Will anybody be hurt? If I wasn't here to fulfill their expectations, could they carry on regardless? I asked questions like this, over and over again, day after day while paying attention to many activities in my life. I then started to drop anything that wasn't absolutely my duty and that I felt was not serving me. And then, one day.... KABOOM! I suddenly got hit by this feeling, totally out of the blue, of " oh, this is what it feels like to be me ". I don't recall ever experiencing that feeling. It was followed by a period of daily bliss. It felt like I had arrived home; it felt like I had met myself. I had no idea this was going to happen; I just was tired of being a people pleaser and was afraid that I would live out my life in others' expectations and subscribing to the ideals and dreams of others. This discovering of myself floored me.
The process works in cycles. External freedom isn't a constant but we are always on the path to choose with what we believe and witness the result of that. The message of freedom speaks more to that you can be your full self, without needed validation, even when we have the struggles and judgements coming at us from other people. That eventually the environment will also change and we will meet the right people for us by going through Dante's Purgatory.. the more we live in alignment with out intuition. Freedom, but not without some struggles.
To anyone who starts watching this and thinks "I no longer have anything that I yearn for"... listen to your own voice. Something has forced you to silence it. But it's still there.
Wow..wrote my thoughts precisely.. feel strongly is a concept so timely too. Wouldn't have been recognised for how powerful this truth is until now. THE GREAT Awakening is real.
Listening to your story about “the defective little boy” touched me. I’m a Boston trained lawyer but I had taught school in the South Bronx. It was there that I felt the most integrity; there was no status there. I purchased ‘The Way of Integrity’ just now in Audible. Thank you.
I remember 12 years ago when I was deeply unhappy, reading a book about happiness. I don't remember the title but it said that same thing: it's all about integrity. I was doing a job I hated, in a relationship that was long past its sell-by date and realized I had to change everything.
What really makes me unhappy is to think how unhappy I am. If I do not think, but just be and do, I feel better. I love to walk in the city or in nature and just observe. I think that it is my favourite hobby. Especially I love early mornings. I do not wake up very early every morning, but today I did. I went to the nearest grocery to buy croissants before my remote meeting. I loved to see the city wakening up! I loved the birds singing. I loved the light of the rising sun. I loved smells and noices of the morning city. I loved the warm fresh croussants that they just took from the owen when I went to the grocery! I loved to see how workers have started their day. And I wondered how many mornings I‘ve missed only because I have slept.
This is hitting in all the right ways. Almost in tears watching this. I hope it’s okay to say given that it’s the internet and anything can sound creepy, but I just flipping love you, Marie. Thanks for bringing these amazing and inspiring people and for being one yourself. This and your interview with Elizabeth Gilbert are two of my favorite videos on RUclips.
I can relate to this so much. I have recently been experiencing a lot of anxiety and I really feel that it’s my body telling me something needs to change. I quit my job almost two weeks ago because I decided after almost 30 years in a certain career that I just don’t want to do it anymore. I wasn’t engaged in the work anymore. I have no clue what I am going to do next, but I just knew I had to stop doing what I was doing. Definitely will be buying this book.
Good for you! If you can afford some time off to explore and unwind, do so! I did the same thing a while back and knee-jerked back to safety of a similar job. It takes time to shed that identity and you deserve to find your best self! Best of luck and peace ✌🏽
Parallel lives. I can relate. I found the book Designing Your Life by Stanford University professors helps you to make prototypes of what you want to do.
@@stillbren I’m in a much better job, same field, but I did take a break for a year and did a different job. It sucked and I realized that I belong in my original field. lol I am off of anxiety meds, so that’s a bonus. I’m overall much happier now.
Just amazing! I have a name for when we get away from our true nature: the lost souls. Our society is a place of lost souls. Its our duty and our freedom to take back our true Self! Live aligned with your soul: there's the ultimate happiness! Love you
LOVE this, Mariana! We're always up for anyone living in alignment with their highest soul 💗 Thanks so much for watching this episode! - Monauar, Team Forleo
So uplifting! I love the: "I threw my old life away - it sucked" LOL. What a way to reframe that her NEW life is 100% better - living on point with integrity. It's never too late to change your life around!!
I’ve been cleaning houses since 2001 but I’ve always been very passionate about astrology and I know down deep what I’m doing for a living ,I’m completely not in alignment with . My son is grown and out of the house with a place of his own now and I really know I’d be safe taking a leap of faith and becoming an professional astrologist . I seriously think I’m having a midlife crisis but it’s either now or never .
I cannot express how deeply this resonated with me. I can literally feel myself shrink every time I am in a situation not in sync with my values. Much love 💕
For me today it was very inspiring to hear about the "1 degree turns". As a perfectionist, I tend to want to push myself harder, which often leads to me just giving up and not doing a thing. Slow changes will get me there, before I know it I will be leading the life I want. "Pushing through" doesn't work, you will just end up eating eggs :)
The same! Degree after degree thinking I would be happier, a marriage thinking I would be happier... Now divorced and studying energies, astrology and human behaviour predictability in a much peaceful state! But still a work in progress...a girl has to pay the bills!
"If it isn't working, don't do it harder" wow! This is soo powerful and something I definitely needed a reminder on! Thank you beautiful ladies for the wisdom! 🙏🏻💞
I am 43 yo and I have started to ask myself what I enjoy doing. I started a difficult and painful journey, but totally worth it. Starting to listen to my body, its warnings, its shouts that I have been avoiding for do long. I felt purposeless, and I was trying harder, learning, studying what I supposed to, instead what I loved to.
Whoa. This is one for the ages. So true.. Wished I saw this 6 years ago when, despite my success, I was failing myself. "it's better to die telling your truth than to live without it" #killer
I consider myself very well versed in self help, popular psychology meta physics, all the social sciences etc but I confess, I have never heard of Martha Beck. Now I have and it was fun! Thank you for an excellent interview.
Oh my good Lord, what an episode! I’ve watched it every day for the last 3 days in a row and now I cannot put her book down. “See ya later Sunday to do list lol”. This is everything I’ve been putting together in my own mind and life over the last ten years all wrapped up into a beautiful, entertaining package. Thank you both ladies for all you do. Sending you SO MUCH LOVE and GRATITUDE!!! 🙏
I couldn't really think of any one thing that jumped out at me right when I finished watching the video - it was all very powerful. But as the evening went on, I've found myself wandering my house, doing chores, catching up on work and stopping every so often saying out loud "Peace. Joy. Freedom. Love." Not necessarily in that order. And finding all sorts of ways in which those things are present in my life and a wonderful sense of contentment stealing into my often cranky heart. Thank you!
This sesh is Rockin’ on so many levels. Thanks, y’all magic.Thanks also for the love for Meghan. It’s so important to stand up for her and support her.
As a woman with HF autism, I don’t lie, especially when I’m asked questions like this: how are you? I take that question literally and give explanations people don’t wan to hear... I don’t want to change this about myself... people tended to tell me, you have to answer;”I’m great” bc you attract what you invoke... THAT sentence bother me to the core... NO I don’t want to lie. Lol
In the UK we have some flexibility now - it's acceptable not to answer "I'm fine" anymore. No-one wants a life story but when I'm tired, I say that I'm feeling tired, for example.
I love this! But I also love that you don’t place ads on any of your videos. It’s a little difference that makes it feel like you truly care about your audience.
Martha's 'Finding your North Star' inspired me to turn my life 180 degrees. Today I am inspired by two ideas that emerged in your conversation and I have written them down for follow-up. one, Marie you said, How do you make it real in our lives? The other, what Martha said: In the quiet of the night what do you yearn for? My immediate response was peace and love, I and then realized, joy and freedom. Fabulous conversation. Look forward to getting Martha's book. Blessings to all who watch this interview. p.s. This discussion resonated with my reflections on ACIM Lesson2 128 and 129
My main takeaway is the idea of 1% shift. What a relief. Thank you, Martha and Marie. Can’t wait to read the book. I’ve read Martha’s other books and they are all gems.
37:46 This takes faith or maybe it becomes so dark there's very few options left to choose or the struggle falls somewhere in between. Listening to myself guide me is self healing and was a difficult choice to step towards. Thank you for sharing this conversation, your kind support is greatly needed in the society we're groomed in to! Your voices help by easing the transition back to nature.
Small steps sounds similar to the concept of taking it one day at a time. For some reason our brains handle life better this way. This book sounds like it would be especially helpful for people trying to leave cults, narcissistic family systems, etc. I think the book and this video will help a lot of people. Great video :)
i freaked out when i found out that Marie Forleo, Martha Beck and Byron Katie are all sagittarius ladies. As a double sag i feel very connected with this message. Exactly what I needed to hear this month. Very thankful
When i listened Martha my main insight was that we live in much more tolerant times, when we can speak up! We have freedom and can express it! Im greatful for that and thank you for opening my eyes :)))
Loved this message: If whatever you’re doing isn’t working, don’t do it harder. I'm learning not to push, and push, and push but to follow my joy and instincts. To listen to my body when I get headaches or pains usually stemming off of doing the wrong work or being off track in life. Thank you for this incredible conversation between 2 joyful souls shining bright and sharing their truths so beautifully and generously. Hugs.
"Your circumstances in society have nothing to do with happiness. The only thing that has to do with happiness is how closely are you adhering to what you know at the deepest level is true and right for you." ..Beautiful and brilliant! Thank you, Martha and Marie!💕🙌🏼✨
According to Panache Desai we are already enlightened ! It's just a matter of recognizing it ! I love Martha Beck's talk today ! Want to get her book ! Marie, thanks for having her on.
Wow! I'm going to trust myself, I'm going to follow my truth! Thank you for the exact message I needed to hear right now, today!! I never heard Martha until today. I was raised in SLC & survived sexual abuse. Became an alcoholic & now have 19 yrs sober. In sobriety I have followed the culture & on the outside very successful, inside desperately unhappy. Now I'm beginning to follow my north star. This reaffirmed my yearning for something more. I'm not crazy. I'm going to trust myself, I'm going to follow my truth!
This is excellent! Yes this is me with cravings and why it's hard to stop indulging them in spite of the swelling and other uncomfortable effects. For me sometimes it's from working too much or too hard, or feeling lonely and then the craving monster comes up to help supposedly "feel good" by distracting me from the truth. My truth: relax and pace yourself! You don't have to do it all or right now!!!! Reach out to your friends! Thank you ladies for sharing this message of integrity today.
Wow that metaphor of the plane turning one SMALL degree at a time! That's the story of the last 30 years of my life! These small baby steps are my speed of transformation and I can ALMOST say I am proud of it!
I am exactly there...I am in a situation that is not aligned with my truth. And I am starting to get sick. I need to be brave enough to leave the situation. Thank you Marie! This helps more than I can express!!!!!!!!!
This was SOOO good! @mariaforleo thank you for giving space to Martha, allowing her to fully share her stories, and for never interrupting her-you're not self absorbed like Huberman who only talked about himself. What a joy and refreshing to watch!
I read Martha's book about her pregnancy with Adam when it first came out. I was as impressed with her life changes then, as I am now. In this interview, I think it is the subtle ways we rob ourselves of our integrity that, when they accumulate, become the journey of reclamation. This interview was a perfect addition to my current transformative journey. Thank you for the action oriented and gentle approach. Bless you both!
Best takeaway/re-inforcement for me was small changes over time making a huge difference, small changes less likely to fail than large ones. Thanks for this interview!
What a beautiful conversation. What I am taking away is that our body shows us when we are not being true to ourselves, aches and pains show up, the more we lie the deeper the pain, when we learn to stop lying and start doing saying thinking what we we really want and are then we start feeling happier and and aches start dissipating. Thank you for confirming this that I have already started that I've experience. I love to see it in me and help my clients with it as well.
Marie, Thanks for mentioning the physical manifestations you experience when you are not living in your truth. I too have that connection with my body. From little nuisance pains to full depression. Having the awareness of what your body is conveying is something of a gift. Great talk. Gonna look this book up on Audible!
I'm buying this book today!!! Every word of this fantastic interview speaks TRUTH TO ME. Thank you so much......as an artist I feel an incredible amount of inspiration to get out of my FEAR prison. A friend of mine suggested I watch this, and WOW, I'm happy I did. I hope Martha sells millions of this book.😍✌️
Loved every minute of this, but my favorite part is when Martha says "Big changes come from tiny steps. Sometimes that step is off a cliff," and you Marie bust out laughing in full hearted joy.
Wow!! So many notes taken!! Thanks Martha. Thanks Marie. "The only thing that has to do with happiness is HOW CLOSELY ARE YOU ADHERING TO WHAT YOU KNOW AT THE DEEPEST LEVEL IS TRUE AND RIGHT FOR YOU. That's it!" Thanks for this!
What a wonderful soul Martha Beck is. I will definitely get her new book. The nr. one take away to me was 1) Follow your truth and stay loyal to your self and your integrity. The moment you start doing that, you will begin to heal. Nr 2) The 4 things all people yearn for are peace, freedom, love, and joy. Nr. 3) Spiritual growth / enligthenment always leads to freedom despite costing you loss, effort, and adversities. Thanks for this video, Marie and Martha 🙏👍🌞❤
I love martha beck. and this conversation. what struck me was authenticity and strength in vulnerable truth. integral work on self using all senses the body the intuition feeling and thinking together. Yay. Freedom is my highest value then the rest: Peace love joy 💖
Marie, thank you so much for doing this video and Martha, thank you so much for writing this book!!! I got it after watching this video a week ago and have been devouring it. Every part of me is like ‘YES!!!!’ My goal has been to ‘be the light and shine into the darkness’ for a decade now, though what that actually LOOKS like in real life has always been a bit foggy. Finally, after all this time, this book is the answer to that question. I ‘be the light’ by living in integrity. !!!!!! It’s like puzzle pieces finally clicking to to place. I cannot even express how excited/grateful/over the moon I feel right now. Thank you both so much!!!!!!
Yes this and so much else needs to be taught in school! Also: parenting skills (even if you aren’t a “parent”, you will likely have kids in your life that you will impact) - communication skills - setting boundaries - consequences - human rights & social justice - decision-making - goal setting - coping skills - critical thinking skills - ethics - identifying values - relationships ...
This was excellent. Of course I have known about Martha Beck for years but I have not read her books. TODAY I am going to purchase “The Way of Integrity” and recommend it for my book club! Donna
This is incredibly TIMELY. I can barely wrap my mind around how much this addresses my current dilemma. The Universe definitely responded to my prayers through your this channel! I'm also reading Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert who Martha mentioned. Thank you!
LOVE "Big Magic"! It's such a wonderful complement to all of Martha Beck's work. Liz Gilbert also did a podcast called "Magic Lessons" that you should check out.

This made me laugh out loud! That was me all 2018-2019 🤣
Good one 👍 ty
"Without exception, we are all abandoning our true nature to serve some version of culture." If there's anything this pandemic has done, it is providing the gift of introspection and a deeper level of self awareness.
I can't help but think that there may, possibly, every 100 years, be some exceptions? Gag me with a spoon !
You explained this really well! 😄
Thanks for the great points about what had the pandemic has taught us.
I'll remember this for next time!
You really nailed it. Thank you for wording it so well. I find I am letting a lot of so-called friendships go, because the way people express themselves about where they stand on masking or not, distancing or not, injections or not, is so telling.
Nope, did not work for me. I have spent my entire life being introspective. The pandemic restrictions robbed me of my freedom to move to Europe where my heart and soul belong. Was blocked by closed borders. So, the pandemic crushed my FREEDOM-one of the 4 basic needs!
Don't sell your soul to buy your future..
The minute we leave our truth our body fails us.. So true
I came from a specific background where the expectations of you were overbearing. And that's an understatement.
When I walked away from that, for about 6 months, I intensively questioned every habit I had. I asked myself
Do I really like this activity?
Do I feel fulfilled by it?
If I don't like doing it; why do I do it?
Is it an obligation? A duty?
Am I doing it because I think it's what is expected of me?
Is that expectation real or in my head?
If it's real, is it reasonable?
If it's not my duty; what would happen if I dropped the activity?
Will anybody be hurt?
If I wasn't here to fulfill their expectations, could they carry on regardless?
I asked questions like this, over and over again, day after day while paying attention to many activities in my life. I then started to drop anything that wasn't absolutely my duty and that I felt was not serving me. And then, one day.... KABOOM!
I suddenly got hit by this feeling, totally out of the blue, of " oh, this is what it feels like to be me ". I don't recall ever experiencing that feeling. It was followed by a period of daily bliss.
It felt like I had arrived home; it felt like I had met myself. I had no idea this was going to happen; I just was tired of being a people pleaser and was afraid that I would live out my life in others' expectations and subscribing to the ideals and dreams of others. This discovering of myself floored me.
That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing it
Beautiful, thx for sharing! Turning 49 & why I waited this long ... to be sure? they really not getting any more of me.
Sounds like a good story and approach which you could put in a book for the rest of us.
This is brilliant by example. Thankyou.
:) :) :)
“In the quiet of the night, what do you yearn for?” Excellent. That is the teaching of Conscience, which cannot be overridden.
The quote is: "Its better to be hated for what you are than loved for what you are not".
Brilliant! Where did you find this quote?
story of my life
@@cynwes9994 it’s Andre Gide
Wonderful quote👏🏻👏🏻
Another one that I love is "if you have to cripple yourself to get love, it is not love you are getting"
My biggest insight was that once you act in integrity with YOU you finally reach freedom!
The process works in cycles. External freedom isn't a constant but we are always on the path to choose with what we believe and witness the result of that. The message of freedom speaks more to that you can be your full self, without needed validation, even when we have the struggles and judgements coming at us from other people. That eventually the environment will also change and we will meet the right people for us by going through Dante's Purgatory.. the more we live in alignment with out intuition. Freedom, but not without some struggles.
I love how you highlight the body telling you when something is out of integrity. I've found that our body is one of the most underutilized ally.
To anyone who starts watching this and thinks "I no longer have anything that I yearn for"... listen to your own voice. Something has forced you to silence it. But it's still there.
Wow..wrote my thoughts precisely.. feel strongly is a concept so timely too. Wouldn't have been recognised for how powerful this truth is until now. THE GREAT Awakening is real.
This idea that your health deteriorates when you’re out of integrity has become my life’s work. Thank you for all the ah-has!
"We all only yearn for the same four things: peace, freedom, joy and love" - yes!
Listening to your story about “the defective little boy” touched me. I’m a Boston trained lawyer but I had taught school in the South Bronx. It was there that I felt the most integrity; there was no status there. I purchased ‘The Way of Integrity’ just now in Audible. Thank you.
Those kids can have a role model in you, they cannot otherwise have.
When words of encouragement from a stranger make you cry.
Martha Beck is The Bomb!! 😍💝
I remember 12 years ago when I was deeply unhappy, reading a book about happiness. I don't remember the title but it said that same thing: it's all about integrity. I was doing a job I hated, in a relationship that was long past its sell-by date and realized I had to change everything.
What really makes me unhappy is to think how unhappy I am.
If I do not think, but just be and do, I feel better. I love to walk in the city or in nature and just observe. I think that it is my favourite hobby. Especially I love early mornings. I do not wake up very early every morning, but today I did. I went to the nearest grocery to buy croissants before my remote meeting. I loved to see the city wakening up! I loved the birds singing. I loved the light of the rising sun. I loved smells and noices of the morning city. I loved the warm fresh croussants that they just took from the owen when I went to the grocery! I loved to see how workers have started their day. And I wondered how many mornings I‘ve missed only because I have slept.
Hello how are you doing 😊😊😊
Love this
This is hitting in all the right ways. Almost in tears watching this. I hope it’s okay to say given that it’s the internet and anything can sound creepy, but I just flipping love you, Marie. Thanks for bringing these amazing and inspiring people and for being one yourself. This and your interview with Elizabeth Gilbert are two of my favorite videos on RUclips.
Yup. That's two of us.
I love that one too. So many people with rich content.
Lennon - So glad you enjoyed the interview with Martha. Yes, she's totally amazing and we love Elizabeth Gilbert as well. -Antoinette
So true. I've gotten physically sick when things are chronically not in alignment for me
And how did u recover in order to pursue the things that are in alignment with you?
@@FlowerUruguay i am also feeling sick and I don't know how to make it better.
I can relate to this so much. I have recently been experiencing a lot of anxiety and I really feel that it’s my body telling me something needs to change. I quit my job almost two weeks ago because I decided after almost 30 years in a certain career that I just don’t want to do it anymore. I wasn’t engaged in the work anymore. I have no clue what I am going to do next, but I just knew I had to stop doing what I was doing. Definitely will be buying this book.
Good for you! If you can afford some time off to explore and unwind, do so! I did the same thing a while back and knee-jerked back to safety of a similar job. It takes time to shed that identity and you deserve to find your best self! Best of luck and peace ✌🏽
Best of luck in getting there.
You needed the change and clearly there are a few of us craving happiness 🇦🇺💕
Parallel lives. I can relate. I found the book Designing Your Life by Stanford University professors helps you to make prototypes of what you want to do.
I'd love to hear how this turned out!
@@stillbren I’m in a much better job, same field, but I did take a break for a year and did a different job. It sucked and I realized that I belong in my original field. lol I am off of anxiety meds, so that’s a bonus. I’m overall much happier now.
Just amazing! I have a name for when we get away from our true nature: the lost souls. Our society is a place of lost souls. Its our duty and our freedom to take back our true Self! Live aligned with your soul: there's the ultimate happiness! Love you
LOVE this, Mariana! We're always up for anyone living in alignment with their highest soul 💗 Thanks so much for watching this episode! - Monauar, Team Forleo
That small steps work! I’m 66 widowed and struggling with finding my truth.
Best of success to you.
"Just a one degree turn towards your truth", Love it.
So uplifting! I love the: "I threw my old life away - it sucked" LOL. What a way to reframe that her NEW life is 100% better - living on point with integrity. It's never too late to change your life around!!
I’ve been cleaning houses since 2001 but I’ve always been very passionate about astrology and I know down deep what I’m doing for a living ,I’m completely not in alignment with . My son is grown and out of the house with a place of his own now and I really know I’d be safe taking a leap of faith and becoming an professional astrologist . I seriously think I’m having a midlife crisis but it’s either now or never .
Go for it! 👍
What has happened??❤
I cannot express how deeply this resonated with me. I can literally feel myself shrink every time I am in a situation not in sync with my values. Much love 💕
What a great gift to have that signal! 😄
We're so glad that it resonated with you in such a powerful way, Ashita. We see you. - Heather
I am a certified life coach for four years now. I enjoyed the show and will take away being my true self. I am going to be my true self
For me today it was very inspiring to hear about the "1 degree turns". As a perfectionist, I tend to want to push myself harder, which often leads to me just giving up and not doing a thing. Slow changes will get me there, before I know it I will be leading the life I want. "Pushing through" doesn't work, you will just end up eating eggs :)
Anna - Yes! Slow changes make a huge difference in life. Stop to smell the roses is a beautiful thing! - Antoinette
@@TeamForleo see fake Marie account above
I spent a beautiful time watching this video!!!
Peace, freedom, joy, love = integrity ... = who we are.
Yes, I loved the "because that's is what we are" part.
The same! Degree after degree thinking I would be happier, a marriage thinking I would be happier... Now divorced and studying energies, astrology and human behaviour predictability in a much peaceful state! But still a work in progress...a girl has to pay the bills!
It's about the same way for me. I'm in a marriage that is probably too far gone, advancing my education and still feeling like it's not all right
"If it isn't working, don't do it harder" wow! This is soo powerful and something I definitely needed a reminder on! Thank you beautiful ladies for the wisdom! 🙏🏻💞
I am still LMAO (quietly) about this piece of advice! I have been screwing up on the same project for a while now and got this!
Oh, c'mon! THIS IS FANTASTIC. THE MOMENT YOU TRUST YOURSELF AND FOLLOW YOUR TRUTH - Yep. gonna do it NOW Thank you so so much
I am 43 yo and I have started to ask myself what I enjoy doing.
I started a difficult and painful journey, but totally worth it.
Starting to listen to my body, its warnings, its shouts that I have been avoiding for do long. I felt purposeless, and I was trying harder, learning, studying what I supposed to, instead what I loved to.
Yep, same age. Right there with you.
Another one here.
Freedom is enlightenment. Love Martha Beck.
Whoa. This is one for the ages. So true.. Wished I saw this 6 years ago when, despite my success, I was failing myself. "it's better to die telling your truth than to live without it" #killer
I really dig the the mention of integrity playing such a key role in achieving true freedom...also making small course corrections ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
For some reason, I didn't think I was going to like this episode; boy was I ever wrong. Martha is a complete joy.
I consider myself very well versed in self help, popular psychology meta physics, all the social sciences etc but I confess, I have never heard of Martha Beck. Now I have and it was fun! Thank you for an excellent interview.
You're so welcome, Licia. Thanks for watching it- Heather
Oh my good Lord, what an episode! I’ve watched it every day for the last 3 days in a row and now I cannot put her book down. “See ya later Sunday to do list lol”.
This is everything I’ve been putting together in my own mind and life over the last ten years all wrapped up into a beautiful, entertaining package. Thank you both ladies for all you do. Sending you SO MUCH LOVE and GRATITUDE!!! 🙏
Oh my gosh that’s hilarious, that is me right now... but “see you later Wednesday to-do list” 🤣
I couldn't really think of any one thing that jumped out at me right when I finished watching the video - it was all very powerful. But as the evening went on, I've found myself wandering my house, doing chores, catching up on work and stopping every so often saying out loud "Peace. Joy. Freedom. Love." Not necessarily in that order. And finding all sorts of ways in which those things are present in my life and a wonderful sense of contentment stealing into my often cranky heart. Thank you!
I loughed and cried, loughed and cried, loughed and cried. Thank u both SO Much. Love u. Hugs from Poland
This sesh is Rockin’ on so many levels. Thanks, y’all magic.Thanks also for the love for Meghan. It’s so important to stand up for her and support her.
We're so glad you enjoyed it Lizzie!
When I learned the power and self-growth of saying NO, everything changed for the better ;-)
As a woman with HF autism, I don’t lie, especially when I’m asked questions like this: how are you? I take that question literally and give explanations people don’t wan to hear... I don’t want to change this about myself... people tended to tell me, you have to answer;”I’m great” bc you attract what you invoke... THAT sentence bother me to the core... NO I don’t want to lie. Lol
I'm much the same about honesty, if my truth makes others uncomfortable. I'm sorry but I won't sacrifice my integrity for their discomfort.
In the UK we have some flexibility now - it's acceptable not to answer "I'm fine" anymore. No-one wants a life story but when I'm tired, I say that I'm feeling tired, for example.
I love this! But I also love that you don’t place ads on any of your videos. It’s a little difference that makes it feel like you truly care about your audience.
This hit me like a brick. I instantly felt an internal lightness after watching this. Thank you.
Martha's 'Finding your North Star' inspired me to turn my life 180 degrees. Today I am inspired by two ideas that emerged in your conversation and I have written them down for follow-up. one, Marie you said, How do you make it real in our lives? The other, what Martha said: In the quiet of the night what do you yearn for? My immediate response was peace and love, I and then realized, joy and freedom. Fabulous conversation. Look forward to getting Martha's book. Blessings to all who watch this interview.
p.s. This discussion resonated with my reflections on ACIM Lesson2 128 and 129
33:33. It’s better to Die telling your Truth than to live without it.
Martha Beck, Thank you for explaining how Dante is relevant to living with integrity! Insightful!
'It's better to die telling your truth than to live without it'
Peace, joy, freedom & love - no one yearns for anything else.
That’s the 9 fruit of the spirits - peace, joy, love, kindness, patience etc
My main takeaway is the idea of 1% shift. What a relief. Thank you, Martha and Marie. Can’t wait to read the book. I’ve read Martha’s other books and they are all gems.
Peace, freedom, love and joy is the definition of Shalom. Also blessedness and happiness.

This takes faith or maybe it becomes so dark there's very few options left to choose or the struggle falls somewhere in between.
Listening to myself guide me is self healing and was a difficult choice to step towards.
Thank you for sharing this conversation, your kind support is greatly needed in the society we're groomed in to! Your voices help by easing the transition back to nature.
Small steps sounds similar to the concept of taking it one day at a time. For some reason our brains handle life better this way. This book sounds like it would be especially helpful for people trying to leave cults, narcissistic family systems, etc. I think the book and this video will help a lot of people. Great video :)
Sean - We couldn't agree more small steps and taking one day at a time is a good thing! -Antoinette
i freaked out when i found out that Marie Forleo, Martha Beck and Byron Katie are all sagittarius ladies. As a double sag i feel very connected with this message. Exactly what I needed to hear this month. Very thankful
When i listened Martha my main insight was that we live in much more tolerant times, when we can speak up! We have freedom and can express it! Im greatful for that and thank you for opening my eyes :)))
Loved this message: If whatever you’re doing isn’t working, don’t do it harder. I'm learning not to push, and push, and push but to follow my joy and instincts. To listen to my body when I get headaches or pains usually stemming off of doing the wrong work or being off track in life. Thank you for this incredible conversation between 2 joyful souls shining bright and sharing their truths so beautifully and generously. Hugs.
"Your circumstances in society have nothing to do with happiness. The only thing that has to do with happiness is how closely are you adhering to what you know at the deepest level is true and right for you." ..Beautiful and brilliant! Thank you, Martha and Marie!💕🙌🏼✨
According to Panache Desai we are already enlightened ! It's just a matter of recognizing it ! I love Martha Beck's talk today ! Want to get her book ! Marie, thanks for having her on.
The Way of Integrity!! ❤️🙏
Anybody else totally ready to live THIS way??! 🙂
OMG!!! She's saying exactly what I've been saying for years!!
My goodness the work you are doing is LIFE CHANGING xxx
Wow! I'm going to trust myself, I'm going to follow my truth! Thank you for the exact message I needed to hear right now, today!! I never heard Martha until today. I was raised in SLC & survived sexual abuse. Became an alcoholic & now have 19 yrs sober. In sobriety I have followed the culture & on the outside very successful, inside desperately unhappy. Now I'm beginning to follow my north star. This reaffirmed my yearning for something more. I'm not crazy. I'm going to trust myself, I'm going to follow my truth!
This is excellent! Yes this is me with cravings and why it's hard to stop indulging them in spite of the swelling and other uncomfortable effects. For me sometimes it's from working too much or too hard, or feeling lonely and then the craving monster comes up to help supposedly "feel good" by distracting me from the truth. My truth: relax and pace yourself! You don't have to do it all or right now!!!! Reach out to your friends! Thank you ladies for sharing this message of integrity today.
The Peace, Freedom, Joy, Love = Integrity touched my soul. I feel like the book should have been called fulfillment. Thank you both.
Wow that metaphor of the plane turning one SMALL degree at a time! That's the story of the last 30 years of my life! These small baby steps are my speed of transformation and I can ALMOST say I am proud of it!
One takeaway: How powerful small steps are. I am encouraged. Thank you!
I am exactly there...I am in a situation that is not aligned with my truth. And I am starting to get sick. I need to be brave enough to leave the situation. Thank you Marie! This helps more than I can express!!!!!!!!!
You can do it. Believe in yourself. - Heather
take away: The trim tab concept. So helpful in moving my business forward and coming out of hiding. Thank you so much!
This lady is an absolute joy! Thank you 🙏
I am just flabbergasted how wonderful this interview is. I am almost speechless...but I needed to write something to appraise this.
Martha has such a nack to nail complex things into such easy to comprehend and practical terms. Loved this interview! Thank you xx
This was SOOO good! @mariaforleo thank you for giving space to Martha, allowing her to fully share her stories, and for never interrupting her-you're not self absorbed like Huberman who only talked about himself. What a joy and refreshing to watch!
We sure appreciate your kind words, Davide. Thank you for watching and being here with us! 😊
The truth (integrity) will set you free. 🙏 Do the Work. Byron Katie 👌
I read Martha's book about her pregnancy with Adam when it first came out. I was as impressed with her life changes then, as I am now. In this interview, I think it is the subtle ways we rob ourselves of our integrity that, when they accumulate, become the journey of reclamation.
This interview was a perfect addition to my current transformative journey. Thank you for the action oriented and gentle approach. Bless you both!
Listen and feel the body reactions when I am not living my inner truth, wow this makes so much sense indeed!
Go-in and Trust yourself, learn again to listen to what you FEEL and know there is something that moves you wen u remove the doubts of others.
Best takeaway/re-inforcement for me was small changes over time making a huge difference, small changes less likely to fail than large ones. Thanks for this interview!
What a beautiful conversation. What I am taking away is that our body shows us when we are not being true to ourselves, aches and pains show up, the more we lie the deeper the pain, when we learn to stop lying and start doing saying thinking what we we really want and are then we start feeling happier and and aches start dissipating. Thank you for confirming this that I have already started that I've experience. I love to see it in me and help my clients with it as well.
Marie, Thanks for mentioning the physical manifestations you experience when you are not living in your truth. I too have that connection with my body. From little nuisance pains to full depression. Having the awareness of what your body is conveying is something of a gift. Great talk. Gonna look this book up on Audible!
I'm buying this book today!!! Every word of this fantastic interview speaks TRUTH TO ME. Thank you so much......as an artist I feel an incredible amount of inspiration to get out of my FEAR prison. A friend of mine suggested I watch this, and WOW, I'm happy I did. I hope Martha sells millions of this book.😍✌️
We LOVE that this was so helpful for you, Cheri. Thank you for watching. Keep creating and know that we're cheering you on. - Heather
Loved Martha's concepts and was thinking of tons of my own examples as she elaborated. The most profound things are so simple.
We LOVE this, Nicola. Thank you for sharing that with us. - Heather
Loved every minute of this, but my favorite part is when Martha says "Big changes come from tiny steps. Sometimes that step is off a cliff," and you Marie bust out laughing in full hearted joy.
I always keep reminding myself - peace is paramount😌
You’re awesome and so Is Martha. I do feel like you spent a lot of time gushing over her and I would have rather just heard more of her your ideas
You were born to SUCCEED in EVERY area of life! 🙌🏼😃
This was amazing. Marie Forleo is amazing! Her guests are amazing and this is no exception!
Wow!! So many notes taken!! Thanks Martha. Thanks Marie.
"The only thing that has to do with happiness is HOW CLOSELY ARE YOU ADHERING TO WHAT YOU KNOW AT THE DEEPEST LEVEL IS TRUE AND RIGHT FOR YOU. That's it!"
Thanks for this!
These are some of the most important conversations. The more we explore, the more we discover. Thanks Marie! 🙌
What a wonderful soul Martha Beck is. I will definitely get her new book. The nr. one take away to me was 1) Follow your truth and stay loyal to your self and your integrity. The moment you start doing that, you will begin to heal. Nr 2) The 4 things all people yearn for are peace, freedom, love, and joy. Nr. 3) Spiritual growth / enligthenment always leads to freedom despite costing you loss, effort, and adversities. Thanks for this video, Marie and Martha 🙏👍🌞❤
Hello how are you doing 😊
I love martha beck. and this conversation. what struck me was authenticity and strength in vulnerable truth. integral work on self using all senses the body the intuition feeling and thinking together. Yay. Freedom is my highest value then the rest: Peace love joy 💖
Peace freedom joy and love. Godspeed
OMW this is one of the most powerful conversations I have ever heard. My body keeps giving me my "truth rush "!
Marie, thank you so much for doing this video and Martha, thank you so much for writing this book!!! I got it after watching this video a week ago and have been devouring it. Every part of me is like ‘YES!!!!’ My goal has been to ‘be the light and shine into the darkness’ for a decade now, though what that actually LOOKS like in real life has always been a bit foggy. Finally, after all this time, this book is the answer to that question. I ‘be the light’ by living in integrity. !!!!!! It’s like puzzle pieces finally clicking to to place. I cannot even express how excited/grateful/over the moon I feel right now. Thank you both so much!!!!!!
Yes this and so much else needs to be taught in school! Also: parenting skills (even if you aren’t a “parent”, you will likely have kids in your life that you will impact) - communication skills - setting boundaries - consequences - human rights & social justice - decision-making - goal setting - coping skills - critical thinking skills - ethics - identifying values - relationships ...
This was excellent. Of course I have known about Martha Beck for years but I have not read her books. TODAY I am going to purchase “The Way of Integrity” and recommend it for my book club!
Donna
This is incredibly TIMELY. I can barely wrap my mind around how much this addresses my current dilemma. The Universe definitely responded to my prayers through your this channel! I'm also reading Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert who Martha mentioned. Thank you!
LOVE "Big Magic"! It's such a wonderful complement to all of Martha Beck's work. Liz Gilbert also did a podcast called "Magic Lessons" that you should check out.
Yearning = Peace, freedom, joy, love
Small changes
Yes!
