Welcome! I'm so happy you are here.
If we haven't met before, I’m Marci Payne, a self-love coach, and psychotherapist. I help women create lives and relationships that they love from the inside out. I do this by helping you recognize and own your inner strength, worth, and wisdom instead of feeling endlessly trapped in proving, grasping, and searching for your enoughness.
Looking back, I defined my worth on what I could do for others and what I could achieve. When I I felt like I wasn’t good enough to receive love and attention from others, I focused on where I could achieve and strive for perfection even more. I was looking for love in all the wrong places, and I was getting farther and farther away from myself.
I eventually spent years in therapy, which helped me understand myself and shift some patterns in my relationships, but I never got to the root. That is, how a part of me felt unworthy. Not worthy to receive what I needed and desired in relationships, in my business, and with my health.
Luckily, my journey didn’t end there. I started working through what led me to feel unworthy in the first place. I learned that I had absorbed what others put on me, including their wounds, stories, and expectations. This was keeping me stuck in overdoing to prove my worth, instead of knowing my worth wasn’t defined by others.
Gradually, I shed long-held feelings, beliefs, and roles I had carried with me most of my life. That resulted in me now having more space, energy, and confidence to actively create the life I truly desire from the inside out.
Now, when the part of me that feels unworthy to receive shows up, I know exactly how it feels and how to shift back to the truth. My value is innate and no one and nothing can take it away from me!
Helping Women Reclaim Their Innate Value
Beyond myself, I’ve helped countless women in my counseling practice stop living the life their parents, ex-partners, and society want for them, and start feeling safe to trust and be themselves again.
The more these women know their true selves, including their feelings, needs, and dreams, the easier it is to make decisions based on this inner knowing instead of pressure, guilt, or fear. Then something amazing happens; instead of feeling weak for recognizing they have needs, they begin feeling strong for knowing what and how to meet their needs.
All of these shifts help women like you embody the truth of knowing you are worthy of building a life you love. This is exactly what the world needs more of, people recognizing and shining their light and LOVE. It all starts inside.
You are invited to Embody Your Worth
Where I guide you to know, trust and love yourself enough to make decisions from an empowered and nourished place within. I help you create the space and support you need to stop abandoning your needs and desires. So you can stop hiding behind proving your worth in overdoing for others.
Over the space of 6-months, we will be cultivating the inner resources you need to Embody Your Worth:
Pillar 1: Clarity
- Better understand what self-love is and intentionally choose what you want to strengthen.
- Learn how to recognize when low self-worth shows up in your choices, actions, and thoughts.
- Gain awareness of the level of connection in your current relationships & discern where you want to focus.
Pillar 2: Energy
- Create a daily practice & self-care plan that connects with yourself, so you can give yourself what you need.
- Better understand boundary setting & how it relates to protecting your energy.
- Learn how to shift from sabotaging yourself to motivating yourself out of love.
Pillar 3: Self-Trust
- Better understand how your inner wisdom communicates with you.
- Get to know your inner critic & learn how to shift to the truth.
- Practice forgiving yourself for past mistakes & activating trust in yourself.
Pillar 4: Courage
- Cultivate more enjoyment in your life by allowing yourself to focus on what you most desire.
- Take empowered & enjoyable actions to bring your dreams more into reality.
- Celebrate & learn how to respond to yourself when you are stretching outside of your comfort zone.

Embody Your Worth is for you if you are...
- A Woman Age 22 and Beyond - You’ve likely recently experienced a wake-up call in the form of a significant loss or change, and you are looking for the support and community of women of any age.
- Recovering People-Pleaser - You’ve done the quizzes and know you have been a people pleaser most of your life. You are gifted at knowing what others need without them having to ask, used to living to make others happy, wanting others to be proud of you, or trying to keep the peace. You are recovering because you have already started making changes.
- Self-Aware - While some of the patterns of people-pleasing may be outside of your awareness, you value getting to know yourself. You have some idea what keeps you stuck, even if you aren't completely sure how to shift out of the thoughts and behaviors.
- Love Personal Transformation - You likely have already done some inner work and worked with a therapist or coach before, because you love to grow and learn about yourself. You also probably have a stack of self-help books you are trying to read and podcast episodes in your queue. You are so ready to grow without having to be perfect at it!
- Committed to Yourself - You may not have it all figured out, but you know you are ready and committed to yourself, your well-being, and your happiness. You may even sense an intuitive nudge for you to join right now.
Embody Your Worth isn’t for you if you are…
- Dealing with Complex Trauma - Most of us have experienced some trauma and emotional wounds in our lives. If you are actively working through intense and complex trauma, then this would be a better program for you once you complete some personal healing work. You deserve the right kind of support!
- Struggling with Addictions - If you are struggling with active drug and/or alcohol addictions to the point they may interfere with your participation in the program, then please seek help for your addictions first. I want you to get the most out of this when you are ready.
- Needing Business or Career Help - While what I walk you through can impact how you show up in your business and work life, we won’t cover career design or business restructuring. If you need this kind of support, I know people!
- Not Interested in Looking Inward - If you are looking for someone to give you all the answers, that isn’t me. I have wisdom and teaching to share, but my real magic is in helping you tap into something deeper, your own wisdom. This will support you to return again and again to a deep knowing of who you are and how to stand in your own truth.
From My Heart to Yours
My wish is not just for women, but for all people to know they are whole, wise, and loved within themselves. I do this work, so we can consciously co-create kindness and respect for ourselves, each other, and the land we live on.
Whether you choose to join me or take a different path, may you receive this invitation to reconnect with yourself from a place of wholeness and love. And may you open up to receive support on your journey, so you are freer to create your dream life while also being YOU!

Frequently Asked Questions
When do we meet?
Group will meet bi-monthly on Thursdays, starting September 8, from 11:00 am - 12:30 pm CST/Central Time on Zoom. We will meet for a total of 12 zoom calls from September 2022 through February 2023. (Here is a time zone converter.)
Will the calls be recorded?
You are highly encouraged to attend the live group calls for the interactive experience and community building. If you miss a group call or are in a time zone where you may be asleep during our call, you will have access to recorded calls. (Note: I will not be recording breakout room conversations.)
How long will I have access to the program materials?
For as long as I am still doing this work in the world, you will have access to the online community. You will have access to the recorded calls at least one month after the last group meets.
How much time should I expect to devote to this program each month?
If you attend the group calls, your commitment is 3 hours a month.
From there, you can access the deepening practices and online community as much as you like. You get to decide how much time you want to put into the program, as it's not about adding more to-do's, but more about weaving new practices and tools into your everyday life. The more you integrate what you learn, the more space and energy you will be creating for yourself.
Are there refunds?
Once the program begins, there are no refunds. Full refunds are given minus a $100 administrative fee if you cancel at least 48 hours before we begin. (You are welcome to read my program's terms & conditions here).
You are responsible for paying per our initial agreement, whether full or automatic payments. If you experience an extreme financial situation during the program payment period, please inform me, so we can address it as needed.
Is this therapy?
I am committed to showing up for you and co-creating this space for your growth, healing, and transformation. However, this coaching group is not intended to be a substitute for psychotherapy, counseling, addiction, or trauma treatment. You could be working with a therapist at the same time as participating in this group, or it would be great for those ready for the next level of support outside of therapy.
For my current counseling clients, let's have a conversation about whether this would be a good next step for you before you sign up. And for anyone who is unsure if this is a good fit for you, feel free to reach out.
Anything else I need to know?
I am also committed to creating a safe space that builds a sense of belonging for adult women of all backgrounds. If you don't think you can help foster a community where all women are accepted and embraced as whole, then this may not be the program for you.
I have more questions. How do I contact you?
