P.S. We Expire with Morgan Motsinger Podcast artwork

The P.S. We Expire podcast centers around one big question: This life is short, so why are we waiting? Why are we waiting to… start a business we can’t stop dreaming about? leave a career, relationship, or religion that is unfulfilling? create habits that carry us through hard times? choose to have a loving relationship with ourselves? Welcome. I’m Morgan. I’m an entrepreneur, mother, speaker, and mayhem-maker. I learned first-hand how challenging it is to navigate unexpected and painful circumstances. When my daughter was diagnosed with an incurable, degenerative disease at age 3, I learned quickly what was most important in life. I explored psychology, spirituality, philosophy and healing. For the last 11+ years, I have learned tools and methods for mindfulness and resilience, and I share them on this podcast. When she died in December of 2022, I realized how important these mindset tools really are. We all want more fulfilled lives, but that can only happen when we have honest conversations and authentic connections. Let’s have these conversations together here on the P.S. We Expire podcast.

Anxiety is tough. It keeps you up at night, surprises you at the most inopportune times, and keeps you from pursuing important goals.

Dr. Russ Kennedy (aka the Anxiety MD) gives some insight into how to think differ

There's a difficult dynamic in many relationships: over-functioning people (usually women) are together with an under-functioning partner.

Ep75: Emotional Potty Training: A New Approach to Healing with Rachel Kaplan

Jan 01 2025 79 mins

It's not often that I hear a metaphor that really sticks. When I heard my guest's approach to processing emotion and healing trauma I latched on immediately. Rachel talks about emotional movement through the metaphor of digestion. When we're kiddos we learn what bodily sensations mean (time to hit the loo!) when we're being potty trained. But who is teaching us about processing emo

Ep72: Lantern Consciousness and Living a "Plus 10 Life" with Allison Evans

Nov 20 2024 88 mins

Allison has a way with words. Metaphors are sprinkled through her stories which bring visuals to my mind instantaneously. Our brains LOVE stories and visuals, which make her lessons and wisdom stick even more. I met Allison at a retreat and immediately connected with her and the more I got to know her, the more I knew she had life experience and coaching expertise I wanted to shar

Oct 26 2024 25 mins

This quote from Carl Jung has been rolling around in my mind: "The first half of life is devoted to forming a healthy ego. The second half is going inward and letting go of it."

This episode explores these ideas of deeper conscious awareness of the illusion of s
