No More BullShift

Peggy Hinshaw and Marci Coomer

No More Bullshift!

It is time to shift the narrative, start rewriting your story and take control of your life!
If you’re tired of recycled advice, done with your own excuses, and quietly wondering “Is this really as good as it gets?”—you’re in the right place.

No More Bullshift is a smart, honest, sometimes funny, sometimes uncomfortable podcast where real women who’ve actually lived the shifts talk about what it truly takes to move out of victim mode and into self-leadership. No bypassing. No toxic positivity. No pretending growth is cute or convenient.

Hosted by Peggy Hinshaw and Marci Coomer, this show feels like the conversations that happen when the masks come off and the truth finally gets told—the kind of conversations that call you forward without tearing you down.

We talk about relationships, identity shifts, emotional responsibility, embodiment, personal growth, spiritual realignment (without the fluff), and the everyday moments where life quietly asks you to choose differently.

This isn’t about blaming your past—or staying stuck in it.
It’s about recognizing the patterns, stories, and emotional habits that keep you looping… and learning how to make the shift when it actually matters.

What we have in common—and what we believe deeply—is this:
We didn’t wait for perfect conditions. We chose intentionally—and we live the results.

Today, she is the owner of her own hair salon, a real estate investor, world traveler, and embodied guide—helping women shift intentionally, move with confidence, and create lives they genuinely want to be present for.

You won’t find gurus here.
You will find perspective, laughter, truth-telling, and the reminder that the magic you’re waiting for doesn’t arrive before the shift—it shows up after you make it.

🎙 New episodes drop every Wednesday.

If you’re ready to stop outsourcing your power, tell yourself the truth with compassion, and take responsibility for the life you’re building—
this show will feel like coming home.

Make the Shift. Receive the Magic.

Turning Anxiety into Empowerment: How to Make it Work for You

You Can't. (That's a Belief Your Brain Tells You and It's Limiting You!)
Are you a flea in a jar? Jumping lower than you're actually capable of, even though the lid came off long ago? Or are you like the Hummingbird who was never told it actually can't fly? In this episode, Peggy and Marci unpack what limiting beliefs are, where they come from, and why your brain is wired to go looking for proof that they're true. You'll learn how to identify limiting beliefs and how to overcome limiting beliefs with three practical tools — the thought download, the court-of-law test, and the best-friend test — plus the mindset shift behind taking baby steps instead of waiting for one huge leap. It's a confidence-building conversation about rewriting the self-talk that quietly caps your potential, so the beliefs holding you back stop running the show. 💬 What's one belief you've caught yourself saying "I can't" about — and if you ran it through the court-of-law test, would it actually hold up? Drop it in the comments. We read every one, and your story might be the nudge someone else needs to hear. 👍 If this episode hit something in you, give it a thumbs up and subscribe so you never miss a conversation that helps you turn your "why me?" into "watch me." 🔔 Subscribe to No More BullShift: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkFV5i5CGTKPhlKT1xxmYGA 🎧 Listen to the full podcast: https://feeds.captivate.fm/no-more-bullshift/

How to Tell If He's "The One" - Stop Looking For A Soulmate
Stop searching for a soulmate — "the one" isn't someone you find, it's someone you keep choosing. Marci and Peggy are breaking down what actually makes a partner worth the investment — and spoiler: it's not chemistry, looks, or money. In this episode they talk through the qualities that predict a lasting relationship: kindness, authenticity, how you fight, whether you feel safe being vulnerable, and why being best friends matters more than being swept off your feet. Plus: the red flags to watch for in conflict, how family dynamics shape the relationship you'll build, and the one conversation you should have before you ever get engaged. 👉 Ready for more?

It's Not About You: Stop Taking Everything So Personally
Most of what people say and do has nothing to do with you — and once you truly understand that, everything changes. In this episode, Peggy and Marci get real about one of the biggest energy drains women carry: taking things personally. Whether it's a sharp comment from your partner, a cold shoulder from a friend, or criticism you just can't shake — you may have been carrying weight that was never yours to begin with. What you'll walk away with: ✔ How to recognize when someone's reaction is really about their own inner world — not you ✔ Why practicing curiosity instead of assumption is the fastest path to peace ✔ How to "consider the source" without dismissing every piece of feedback ✔ The truth about people who will never be satisfied — and why that's not your problem to solve If you're exhausted from replaying conversations, overanalyzing reactions, and shrinking yourself to keep the peace — this one's for you. You are not responsible for everyone else's emotional weather. 📌 Tell Us In The Comments: What's one situation you've been taking personally that you now realize probably had nothing to do with you?

Shift Happens: Turning Trauma into Strength and Connection
What if the experiences that hurt you don’t have to define you? In this episode of No More BullShift, We talk honestly about "big T" trauma, shame, forgiveness, victim mentality, and the possibility of turning pain into purpose. We share our personal experiences with trauma and healing, not to minimize what happened, but to explore how your story can become a source of strength and support in your life and for someone else. You’ll hear why naming shame matters, how trusted support helps healing, why forgiveness can release your grip on the past, and how small changes can help you disrupt old patterns and create a lighter life. If you have felt stuck, defined by your past, or afraid to talk about what happened, this conversation is for you. You are not what happened to you and your best chapter is already written. Peggy and Marci are not therapists or trauma-informed clinicians. This conversation is based on personal experience and coaching perspectives, not medical advice. Please seek qualified professional support for your own healing journey. This conversation includes discussion of childhood abuse, abandonment, and trauma.

How to Find Your Purpose When You’ve Lost Touch With Yourself
How do you find your purpose when you’ve spent years focused on everyone else—and you’re no longer sure what excites you, energizes you or belongs to you? Finding your purpose doesn’t require one enormous calling or a perfectly mapped-out plan. The clues may already be hiding in what comes naturally to you, what you loved as a child, what you can’t stop learning about and even the hardest seasons you’ve survived. In this episode of No More BullShift, Peggy and Marci explore: Why your most valuable gift may feel ordinary to you The difference between having the wrong gift and using it in the wrong way How to recognize what gives you energy instead of draining it Why your purpose and passions are allowed to evolve What your childhood interests reveal about who you are How experimentation can help you find your next direction Why the wisdom from your hardest season may help another woman How to stop forcing an answer and begin following the clues Your purpose doesn’t have to look impressive to anyone else. It may begin with one thing that makes you feel more curious, energized and alive. Your Shifthead challenge: Pursue one thing that lights you up this week—even if it doesn’t make sense yet.

Mean Girls Never Die, They Just Get Older (How to Handle Them!)
Mean Girls Never Die — They Just Get Older No More BullShift Podcast — Episode Description Mean girl behavior doesn't disappear after high school — it just gets older, quieter, and harder to name. In this episode of No More BullShift, Peggy and Marci unpack the sophisticated ways adult women experience exclusion — the group texts you're not on, the girls' trips that happen without you, the creeping feeling that you're nobody's first choice. They explore why "mean girl" dynamics persist well into mid-life, how to recognize when YOU might be unintentionally doing the excluding, and the single mindset shift that changes everything: stop auditioning for a seat at someone else's table and start building your own. This conversation blends straight talk, astrology-informed self-awareness, and the kind of honest self-reflection most women avoid. If you've ever felt invisible in a room full of women who used to see you — this one's for you. In this episode: Why "mean girl" behavior doesn't end — it evolves The cluster mentality and how power dynamics shape adult friendships Being nobody's first choice (and why that's actually a wake-up call) How to become the chooser instead of waiting to be chosen Navigating exclusion at different life stages "Don't water the weeds" — where to invest your friendship energy The winter rose analogy: why some friendships are seasonal What to do when you get "mean girled" as a grown woman The hardest question: am I the mean girl?

Unsolicited Advice is Bullshift: The 30-Second Rule That Saves Relationships
Ever walked away from a conversation wondering why things suddenly felt awkward? Sometimes it isn't what we say—it's whether anyone asked us to say it. In this episode of No More BullShift, Peggy and Marci explore the powerful "30-Second Rule," a simple way to know when honesty is helpful and when it creates unnecessary hurt. From parenting and marriage to friendships and everyday conversations, they unpack why unsolicited advice often comes from our own fears, wounds, or ego—and how choosing curiosity over correction can completely transform our relationships. You'll learn: • The 30-Second Rule explained • Why unsolicited advice backfires • How ego disguises itself as "helpfulness" • The difference between honesty and kindness • When people actually want solutions • Practical ways to become a better communicator If you've ever struggled with difficult conversations—or found yourself saying, "I'm just trying to help"—this episode is for you. Journal Prompt: Think about a recent conversation that has stayed with you. Did you offer advice that wasn't asked for? Why did you feel the need to help? Or were you on the receiving end of unsolicited advice? How did it make you feel? What might have changed if both people had paused before speaking? The next time you're about to give advice, ask yourself: "Is this for them or is it for me?" What's one relationship that could become stronger if you chose curiosity before correction? If this conversation made you think differently about the way you communicate, we'd love for you to help us spread the shift. Follow No More BullShift so you never miss a new episode, and if someone came to mind while you were listening, share this episode with them. Sometimes the conversations that change us are the ones we almost didn't have.

Roger Bannister Broke the 4-Minute Mile — Here's How YOU Break Your Limits
In 1954, Roger Bannister did what doctors swore was physically impossible — he ran a mile in under four minutes. And then something wild happened: within a year, dozens of other runners broke the same barrier they'd been told their whole lives was unbreakable. That's the Bannister Effect. And Peggy and Marci are here to tell you it has everything to do with your life right now. In this episode, they connect the dots between Bannister's historic run, the first female trainer to ever win the Kentucky Derby, and the invisible ceiling you might have placed over your own life without even realizing it. Marci shares the moment she reprogrammed her brain as a 12-year-old and how that decision shaped every move she's made since. This is not a pep talk. This is an invitation to go first — in your family, in your career, in the story you tell yourself about what's still possible. What You'll Hear: The Bannister Effect and why your brain puts a ceiling on what you can achieve How a woman trainer shattered Kentucky Derby history — and what that means for midlife reinvention The quiet difference between natural ability and the willingness to outwork everyone Marci's childhood moment of brain-reprogramming that changed everything Why "if you're still breathing, you still have time" The 1% rule: B-minus consistency beats A-plus once a week, every single time Quote to Sit With: "The minute someone pokes one hole in that black piece of paper and a little light pierces through, it makes the human brain realize — wait, a lot of things are possible."

Love, Past Lives, Menopause & Signs From The Universe

Your Goals Are Not Dead — Here's How to Rescue Them at the 6-Month Mark
It's almost July. Remember those goals you set in January? Peggy and Marci sit down for an honest mid-year check-in — not just on your goals, but on theirs too. Marci shares what's in progress, what's stalled, and what surprised her. Peggy breaks down why the timeline doesn't matter, why today can be your January 2nd, and why your 50% effort on a tired day still counts as progress. Whether you crushed your goals, abandoned them by February, or forgot you set them at all — this episode gives you a no-shame reset for the second half of the year. Cut your game plan in half, get 1% better today, and let go of the result. Plus — a brand new segment: questions from a hat. Peggy and Marci pull random questions and answer on the spot. First up: what's your go-to move to feel good about yourself? Your homework: Today is January 2nd. What's your 1% better right now? JOURNAL PROMPTS: Pull out your goals from January. No judgment. Just read them. Which ones still light you up and which ones feel like they belong to a different person? Where did you set a goal that was really someone else's expectation of you? Cross it off. Replace it with something that actually feels aligned. What is one micro goal you can set right now — so small it feels almost too easy — that moves you in the direction you want to go? Peggy asked: what's the difference between January 2nd and today? Write about why you've been telling yourself you "missed your window" and why that's not true. What would your 50% effort best look like today? Not your peak performance day. Today. What's the best choice you can make with the energy you actually have right now? 🎙️ New episodes every Monday and Thursday. 🔔 Subscribe for new episodes every week → No More BullShift 📲 Follow us @NoMoreBullShift on Instagram and Youtube
