1 #11: From OJ Simpson Case to Best Selling Author - Marcia Clark Shares Latest Real Crime Book Release and How Resilience Is Key to Success and Reinvention 34:35
Marcia Clark, best known as the lead prosecutor in the O.J. Simpson trial, has become a trailblazer for women in law and beyond. Her journey from courtroom to bestselling author reflects her resilience and determination to redefine herself amidst intense public scrutiny. On this episode of Worth Knowing, Clark dives into her latest book, *Trial by Ambush*, which examines the 1953 Barbara Graham case—a story that highlights gender bias, media sensationalism, and the notion that all cases are subject to societal, cultural, and political winds. Clark shares how her experiences during the Simpson trial shaped her perspective on societal pressures and the role of women in high-stakes professions. Her reflections on how media, forensic science, and legal practices have evolved over decades offer valuable insights into the intersection of law and culture. This conversation is a compelling exploration of true crime, personal growth, and how Clark’s groundbreaking career continues to inspire a new generation of women to challenge norms and forge their own paths. Marcia Clark is a bestselling author and a criminal lawyer who began her career in law as a criminal defense attorney and went on to become a prosecutor in the L.A. District Attorney's Office in 1981. She spent ten years in the Special Trials Unit, where she handled a number of high-profile cases, including the prosecution of stalker/murderer Robert Bardo, whose conviction for the murder of actress Rebecca Schaeffer resulted in legislation that offered victims better protection from stalkers as well as increased punishment for the offenders. She was lead prosecutor for the O.J. Simpson murder trial. In May of 1997 her book on the Simpson case, "Without a Doubt," was published and reached #1 on the New York Times, Wall St. Journal, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, and Publishers Weekly bestsellers lists. In February 2016, Clark re-released the book with a new foreword.

"Having tools to lean on and support yourself when things get tough can be reassuring and empowering because you feel as though you’re doing something proactive." Life is an up-and-down spiral. As a result, we get to experience the full spectrum of human emotions, which is both beautiful and challenging. But as we walk through life, we get to discover more about who we are because of the way we dance through the highs and hold ourselves through the lows. The lows can be challenging and complex because they can evoke feelings of overwhelm, uncertainty, chaos, stress, anxiety, and even burnout. So how can we stay grounded and clarify our thoughts during these times? Let's find some answers in this episode... In this week's episode, we explore: The power of supporting ourselves through pressure. The fear of losing the ground beneath our feet. What does it mean to stay grounded? Why overwhelming emotions stifle our decision-making skills. Using stream-of-consciousness journaling to articulate the turmoil within. "When we blurt out our thoughts in our journal, we empower ourselves to unpack them and process them." Using our journal to tackle worst-case scenarios and put worries to bed. Tackling disassociation through journaling. Finding our center through our five senses. The power of specificity in your journal. Exploring the art of noticing. And more... When you feel pressure, I want to suggest there’s always a solution. There’s always a way forward. There’s always a next step you can take. Yes, the path ahead may be painful, challenging, or difficult… But along the way, you may gain some magic and beauty you didn’t expect. And with your journal by your side, at least you can rely on one thing. YOU. Your voice. Your counsel. Your guidance. Your knowing. YOUR TRUTH. This week's journaling prompts: Exactly why do I feel pressured? What CAN I control? What’s available to me right now? What NOW? What NEXT? What LATER?

How easy is it for you to make good decisions? Decision-making is an important life skill because the quality of your life is directly correlated "When a decision is more complex - such as a choice that will have a significant impact on your life's trajectory, it can feel more empowering to take that decision with a systematic approach. " Tune into this episode to hear us explore: Why decision-making skills matter. The features of a good decision. How journaling creates the mental clarity needed to make good decisions. Techniques for easing the worry train. Understanding the power of questions. A 12-step sequence for making great choices. And more... "When we know we're good at making good decisions --- when those key crossroad moments in our lives show up, we know we'll be able to navigate them and choose." The sequence of questions for making good decisions. What decision do you need to make - and how much time do you have? What's the background to this decision? What are the opportunities (and what evidence do you have)? What are the risks (and what evidence do you have)? What does your head say? What does your heart say? What’s most aligned with your core values? How would you advise a best friend making this same decision? Who can help you make this decision? What are the alternatives to this decision? The 10/10/10 Method. What’s your decision… and why? In a world of instant gratification, where we want things NOW. Where information is at our fingertips. Where we’re heavily influenced by the media and information that surrounds us. It’s not always easy to give ourselves the space to really think things through. But sometimes, time is exactly what we need. When making big decisions, we need the space to feel into all the angles and possibilities. We need the space to gain SELF-AWARENESS plus the time to engage in critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Innovation, creativity, and lateral thinking are also useful skills for choosing well! Imagine how differently you’d feel if you KNOW you’ve made the right choice for you because you’ve thought through the decision thoroughly… Remember, your journal is here to hold you anytime you need to go deep. I hope the questions & sequence shared in this episode prove useful to you. Get to writing! "Journaling helps clear bandwidth and shift your perspective. As you create space, you can clear mental chaos and clutter, empowering yourself to make good decisions." Also, check out the BestSelf Co. range of journaling tools: 1.

" Are the things you’re chasing the things YOU want… or are they desires you’ve inherited from society?" Do your activities in the outside world leave you feeling fulfilled? Or do you feel a sense of emptiness, a lack of fulfillment, and a nagging feeling that surely, there must be more to life than this? If you feel any of the above, know you’re not alone. It's not uncommon to feel confused either. After all, you thought you were headed in the right direction! Fortunately, there is a solution.

It could be a game-changer. This week's journaling prompts. Ask yourself what you want. Feel into what you believe is the ‘thing’ that will change or improve your life. Once listed, ask yourself WHY.

With journaling, we never finish where we start. Following the flow of the unexpected tangents. And more! It's time for some introspection, quiet contemplation, and deep listening.

"Productivity is the art of getting more done in less time." With World Productivity Day just around the corner, I am bringing you a conversation about how you can use your journal to activate your most productive self. In this week's episode we explore: Productivity isn't about doing more stuff alone. It's about creating more spaciousness to do more of the things we want. Productivity as a mechanism to take more control over your life. PURGE & PLAN journaling techniques to boost your productivity. How mental clutter drains our productivity -- and what to do to get more focused. Julia Cameron's 'Morning Pages' as a tool to access your flow & inner genius. "We can use our journal as a place to purge all the heaviness -- all the clutter, chaos, confusion -- freeing up your mind for clarity, creativity, & deeper concentration." Purging as a technique that helps you take action quicker. Planning to climb your equivalent of Mount Everest. Use your journal as an external brain so you can free up bandwidth for creativity, innovation, and problem-solving. Taking ownership for the mindsets & behaviours that steal your productivity. Productivity does NOT have to be synonymous with hustle. We all have the same 1,440 minutes a day. It's not the amount of time that we have that matters -- but what we choose to do with the time we're given. Productivity is a powerful way to drive efficiency so you have more space and freedom to do the things you love. Get to writing! This week's journaling prompt.

"Everybody can write, we're born storytellers. Usually, it's just allowing and learning how to start trusting your instincts and your intuition...

I have a lot to say about this episode's topic because it's so close to my heart. Self-expression is a catalyst for more aligned opportunities. It's an invitation to know who you really are, and it's a tool for experiencing life in the most fulfilling of ways. Best of all, journaling is a tool and a practice that can elevate our self-expression - opening the doorway to all the gifts that show up when you can OWN your truth. "When we hold back, restrain, silence, and shrink, there are aspects of us that go unexplored, unacknowledged and unseen -- sometimes those parts of us are THE most potent aspects of our being." Tune in now to hear us explore: How society stifles our self-expression. Understanding the courage it takes to be our fully expressed selves. Articulating the dangers that restrained expression protects us from. Why self-expression catalyses deep inner work. Allowing self-expression to guide you to your dreams. "When we express our full selves... we step into the space of more opportunities, like-minded people, intuition, and freedom." How self-expression heightens your awareness of who you really are. Journaling as a tool for developing the skill of self-expression. How childhood experiences can make us lose trust in our self-expression. My personal story of reclaiming fearless self-expression. The power of the edit. And more... Deep down we all have a deep need to be seen for our truth. We're drawn to authenticity because there's a part of us that wants to experience life without the social mask. We want to feel that feeling of being uncensored and untamed. It can take huge courage to show your full self. And your journal is here to help open the floodgates to more experimentation, intentional risks, and more.

"When we take to our journal to process a moment, we are SEEING ourselves and HEARING ourselves. We become the witness to our own experiences and we take back that place of empowerment." Woohoo!

"Bravery is about moving through our expansion and growth pains to tap into what's on the other side." Often the thing in the way is our thoughts, beliefs, and assumptions about who we are and who we can be. We can use our journal to elevate our courage, confidence, and bravery by writing our way to brave. In turn, the impossible can feel just a bit more possible and our dreams can become a reality. In this episode we explore: What does it mean to be brave? The relationship between fear and the life we want. The difference between real and perceived fears. How our childhood experiences can keep us playing small. Exposing the multitude of things that hold us back. "Fear is a compass and an invitation to grow into life." Why stay with discomfort instead of going for our dreams. The potent power of elevating your noticing skills by becoming the witness. Why it's powerful to slow things down. Why our saboteurs are actually protecting us. And more... I’m my own worst enemy. I’m usually the one who’s most in the way! My relationship with fear is what I’m always working at… rooting out the things that hold me back and then transmuting them with journaling. I invite you to try this for yourself - and see if you can write yourself BRAVE. JOURNALING PROMPTS. If you could turn your braveness up by 50% what would change in your life? What would you suddenly have the courage to be or do? What would be the result of that? What if you turned up your braveness by 75% or even 100%... then what? Are you ready to turn that dial? If so, write down up to FIVE things that you could do over the next week to experience your BRAVE at a higher level. Also, check out the BestSelf Co. range of journaling tools: 1.

One of the reasons I journal is to access and claim the truth of who I am. This type of journaling is deep work - sacred work even... But I'm fully aware that there are times I don't go deep enough. Maybe you experience this too? Moments when you step away from your journal too soon - or when you hold back from pulling away a layer because you can't 'allow' yourself to go there. When we stay in the shallows with our inner inquiries, we limit the wisdom we can uncover. In turn, we miss out on the full potential that journaling has to offer. In this episode, we unpack the most common reasons why we get stuck in superficiality. Then reveal some proven, powerful practices for going deeper than we've ever gone before. Enjoy! " We live in an age of decreasing attention spans because of the onslaught and avalanche of information that's put in front of us every day." Highlights from this episode include: Unpacking the excuse of lack of time. Exposing the danger of instant gratification. Resistance is the wall that's keeping us from our truth. Cultivating the discipline to sit a little longer. Questions as portals to our inner doors. "On the other side of resistance, impatience, and lack of time is the opportunity to crack open new insights and the invitation to make new discoveries." What happens when we shine the light of awareness on resistance. Leveraging monologues as a way to go beyond the shallows. learning to sit with uncomfortable feelings. Using the breath to sharpen our awareness. Why depth is an act of rebellion. And more... In a world where we breathe instant gratification (thanks to social media!!!), going deeper than you think is possible in your journal is an act of rebellion! It's an act that connects you to your best self and your brilliant mind, creative insight, and unique perspective. Deep dive journaling is a powerful practice. But don't take my word for it! Try it for yourself with the help of the insights & prompts in this episode. This week's journaling prompt. What does resistance feel like for you?

Remembering that we're consciousness, not just thoughts. Predictability as a form of safety. Soothing the inner critic to create space for magic.

"Alignment happens when we understand at a deep level who we really are." Choosing to create an aligned life is a choice that can help us experience more authenticity. Alignment is a pathway to being more YOU and living the life you desire (not the one you think you should have). In this week's episode, we're exploring what it means to be aligned and how you can discover what that north star looks like for you. We're also sharing a powerful journaling technique (as well as a new tool), that will help you experience alignment every day. Check it out! In this episode, we explore: What does alignment actually mean? Why we can find it tricky to know who we really are. The reason alignment is a journey. The inner compass analogy that helps us understand alignment. What we can expect to experience when we live in alignment. "Alignment is about creating an experience where our thoughts, our behaviours, our choices, our goals, and the direction in which we're headed are in support and harmony with who we are and how we want to live." My story of pivoting when I noticed my life was out of alignment. Why alignment starts with curiosity. Letting your journal guide you to find answers to BIG questions.

I created this episode during the week of International Women's Day , and I was inspired by this potent quote. " Here’s to strong women may we know them. May we be them. May we raise them." As I revisited this quote, I realised there’s a journaling opportunity that I’d love to share. An opportunity that invites depth and complexity into our lives; two energies that I’m increasingly drawn to as a response to the superficiality that surrounds us. Tune in for more...

There's so much of who we are under the surface. Our inner worlds are a labyrinth of uncharted space and unexplored landscapes." Journaling as a layered experience and a quest to discover our truth.

When we encounter unexpected change, the shift in experience can knock us off our centre. Certainty is replaced with unpredictability, and that can leave us feeling exposed, vulnerable, and even unsafe. When our emotions are high, intelligence can be low. In turn, it's harder to think clearly. This can lead to inertia and a feeling of stuckness. The spiral gets reinforced! "When there's chaos in our lives, being able to come back to ourselves, recalibrate, and feel grounded in who we are is a powerful way to navigate life's ups and downs." Journaling is a powerful tool that can help you empower yourself in moments like these. In turn, you can connect with your inner wisdom, clear your head, and get clarity on what to do next.

Three techniques to find your centre. "When we find that calmer place, the intelligence returns, the answers show up and we feel more empowered to move forward." How to use stream of consciousness journaling to uncensor your expression. The power of acknowledgement and radical honesty. Lubricating throughs with journaling prompts. Tapping into your intuition through journaling prompts. Creating momentum through lists to overcome inertia. "Pure expression is super potent." This week's journaling prompts. 1.

Our ability to create a steady keel in the constant ebbing and flowing of our lives can make a big difference.

This week's topic is a conversation we've not explored before on the podcast. What's more, it's a little bit controversial! Because I'm inviting you to NOT add journaling to your to-do list. Tune in to discover why (and what I'm inviting you to try instead)... "We need to ensure a desire to systemise our journaling doesn't become the thing that erodes its magic." In this episode we explore: How we can inadvertently turn our journaling practice into a point of friction. Approaching journaling from a place of BEING instead of DOING. Why we're inclined to prioritise doing over being. The power of bringing the energy of BEING to our journaling. Opening more reverence, intentionality, and depth. "The shift from being to doing changes the context of your journaling and that changes everything - because the context shapes the intention that you write with." Leveraging the power of simplicity. Journaling deserves more than a check on your to-do list. Inviting curiosity around the most important questions. Revising your journaling intentions to open up more. How journaling magnifies the little things into something exponential. And more... Do you want to know yourself at the surface level from a state of doing, Or are you curious to know your depths by exploring the realm of being? Chances are you want both, but chances are it's your beingness that you've neglected. "We want to see our journaling as something to be IN rather than something to get through." Tune into this important episode and discover how to shift the balance. This week's journaling invitation is... Approach your journaling from a place of BEING instead of DOING.

If you're an entrepreneur, weaving a journaling practice into your identity and routine could be one of the most powerful and activating choices you make. This episode reveals why... "Journaling is a self-led practice... You get to chose the angle you explore. You get to shape the conversation you have with yourself. You get to explore what's present for you in any given moment." In this episode we explore: How journaling expands your sense of self. Shifting from instinctive reactions to intentional responses through journaling . Elevating our decision-making process and feeling empowered to say NO. Cultivating reflection and self-evaluation to grow exponentially. Sparking self-leadership and intrinsic motivation. Journaling as a tool to access the wisdom of the present moment. "We are the catalyst. We are the decision-maker. We are the blank canvas. We are the chooser. We are the implementor. It all starts with us. Always." The only person you can excel at being is YOU. Supporting yourself in the moments in-between external support. Uncovering entrepreneurial ideas in your journal. In journaling, YOU are the expresser, the listener, and the witness. You are ALL of them. Journaling as a tool for freeing up creative bandwidth for higher-level work. Ideas to enhance your journaling practice. And more... "The more we know ourselves the more power and capacity we have to create our desires.. When we understand the being that we are, there's a knock-on effect in ALL areas of our lives." Your work as an entrepreneur calls you to your creative edge. It invites you to take risks with your ideas ( and your heart). It puts you on a collision course with failure, and most importantly, it opens the door to accelerated personal growth. Your ability to walk yourself through this journey (that's as unique as you), shapes your success, profitability, and impact in this world. Fortunately, support is always close to hand. The answers are within. You have reserves you can draw upon that run deeper than you know. Wisdom is ready to guide you - if you ask for it. The simple act of taking pen to paper dives much deeper than self-expression alone. For in your musings and meanderings are pots of gold-plated wisdom that can elevate your business, yourself, and your life. It's why I invite you to get to writing :) This week's journaling invitation is... What do you want journaling to open up for you as an entrepreneur?

Choosing to move to a different emotional state. The reason we allow a small 'bad' thing to write off a great day. The danger of dwelling on 'what ifs'?

Our thoughts become things. Where we put our attention our energy flows. Using your imagination to transform the way you feel. When enough is enough! And more...
