Most of us were not taught how to be in our bodies. To express what we were feeling from the inside out. Or see our sensations as a guide towards greater wisdom, insight and intuition. No, we were most likely encouraged to leave our bodies. See them as the enemy, and not to trust them. And so we remain disconnected from them, missing out on living fully embodied. We might find it hard to feel anything, let alone express what we are experiencing. 

But learning how to identify and verbalize this nebulous world of our internal senses has so many benefits. It helps us respond rather than react to triggers, fears, and stress. It helps us learn how to regulate our nervous systems when we start going into survival mode. It helps us experience the present moment even deeper. And even helps us make aligned decisions. 

Join Mary for this foundational episode as she walks you through discovering a whole vocabulary for expressing your internal felt senses. And make sure to listen to the end when she guides you through a somatic mindfulness practice to help you get in touch with the sensations you’re feeling.

ON THIS EPISODE WE WILL DISCUSS…

- Integrating the body and the mind

- How to increase somatic awareness 

- Learning the language of sensations

- The difference between external and internal felt senses

- 5 categories of somatic vocabulary 

- How our reactions are reactions to the sensations in our body

- A guided somatic mindfulness practice with Mary

- And more!

Whether you consider yourself a people pleaser or peacemaker or just can’t stomach the idea of a hard conversation - you might be a conflict avoider. Maybe you find yourself making jokes when difficult topics come up, maybe you’ve been holding onto a relationship for too long, maybe you bottle up how you really feel only to have a passive aggressive episode later… These might be signs that you are afraid of addressing conflict.

For many of us, we believe that the risk of being judged, being left, being misunderstood is enough to pretend everything is fine. But the reality is it’s usually not. When we don’t use our voice to share our truth, resentment, frustration or anger begins to build. In order to have healthy and intimate relationships we have to learn how to have difficult conversations. And luckily, Mary shares her tried and true tips to navigate these kinds of conversations in a way that will leave you feeling grounded and empowered!

ON THIS EPISODE WE WILL DISCUSS…

- Mary’s own journey through avoiding conflict

- Holding onto relationships too long 

- Exploring the root to why we avoid conflict

- Looking at what conversations you’re avoiding now

- What fuels your avoidance

- 5 questions to ask yourself to get to heart of your avoidance

- Mary’s 8 tips to have more productive hard conversations

- And more!

How vital is your life force energy? Do you know what drains your energy? Do you know what charges you up? Do you know when your energy is the highest, and when it is the lowest? Do you honor your natural energetic rhythms? Probably not. Most people are running on fumes, feeling exhausted and trying their best to simply push through. Work a little harder.

You can design a life that is in alignment with how you work best. It creates room for rest, pleasure and play.

Ever feel like you are rushing to get to the finish line? How often are you fantasizing about your happiness being somewhere in the future? How frequently do you wake up thinking you should be further along than you are? Or maybe you believe that feeling secure, whole, or at peace is dependent on things externally changing. If any of this rings true you might be suffering from what one of my mentors, Robert Holden calls “Destination Addiction.” 

In this episode, I explore what it’s like when you live your life believing that your happiness is somewhere outside of yourself. And when we wake up from the trance of hustling to “arrive” and recognize that what we want most in life is available to us right now - something magical happens. We start actually living. Tune in to this week’s episode for an opportunity to experience more presence, wholeness and peace RIGHT NOW.

ON THIS EPISODE WE WILL DISCUSS…

• The definition of “destination addiction”
• The misperception that you can achieve your wholeness 
• How to experience more wholeness in the present
• The illusion of arriving

Have you banished parts of yourself? Most of us have parts of ourselves that we believe are unworthy, shameful, unlovable, and just not okay. We all have parts of ourselves that we reject and ultimately exile. When you believe parts of yourself are a threat to your worthiness you will do everything in your power to push that part of yourself aside and deny the truth of who you really are. But the truth is that you can never cut off the parts of who you are. It takes so much effort and energy to exist as only part of who you are. In order to show up as our most authentic self, you have to embrace the parts of yourself that you work so hard to suppress. What parts of you have you kept hidden? What parts of you are you not bringing to the table? This episode is an invitation to get radically honest with yourself about the parts of you that you have been denying and see integration as the ultimate freedom.

ON THIS EPISODE WE WILL DISCUSS…

- How we all exile certain parts of ourselves

- Denying your desires and needs 

- What it’s like to live compartmentalized

- Learning to understand your shadow side

- 4 steps to welcoming your exiled self

- Why self compassion is the antidote to shame

- Letting go of conditional self love

- And more!

Happy New Year! The “New Year, New You” energy is in the air! And with it comes a lot of pressure to hurry up and get moving. But we don’t have to buy into the New Year hype. There is a different way to ease into a fresh year that feels more connected to the natural world. What if we started the year in sync with the cycles of the moon? What if we could honor the season of winter that we are in? What if this time could be about slowing down, reflection, and rest? 

In this episode, Mary explores what it’s like to set your intentions from a place of LOVE rather than SHAME. When we move from love, the pressure melts away and we tap back into our own rhythm. We let go of time scarcity and remember to trust the process. We stop trying to keep up with what everyone around us is doing. And we start aligning our year with what lights us up instead of trying to fix our flaws. If you need a permission slip to start the year off a little softer, this episode is for you!

ON THIS EPISODE WE WILL DISCUSS…

- How the New Year is BIG BUSINESS

- The 4 beliefs that motivate New Year’s marketing

- Why our calendar is out of sync with nature

- The power of starting with LOVE

- Focusing on how we want to feel in 2023

- Taking action FROM love rather than FOR love

- Letting go of shame as a motivator

- And more!

One of my favorite embodiment tools I use with my coaching clients and teach in all my retreats and workshops is something called the “Body Compass.” This is a “somatic” tool, meaning its wisdom is found in the body, not the mind. And just like an actual compass, your body’s compass is intended to keep you on track and pointed towards your true North. Your true North is when you are living YOUR path. When you are in alignment with your truest self. So how do you know if you're pointed in the right direction? It starts with learning your body’s true YES and true NO. And it’s all guided by your internal felt senses. You can only discover this when you connect to the language of your body. Once you learn how to read your compass, you can begin practicing using it. The more you practice, and the more proficient you are with it, the easier it is to make decisions quickly, set healthy boundaries and stay in alignment. On this episode, I’ll walk you through how to set your body compass and hopefully convince you what an amazing tool you have at your disposal! 

ON THIS EPISODE WE WILL DISCUSS…

- Why we often end up in analysis paralysis

- Using the body’s internal felt sensations as a guide

- Recognizing when you're headed away from your true north

- How to find a “Full Body YES”

- Moving at the speed of your intuition  

- Discovering your yellow, orange and red zones

- And more!

The holiday season is officially here! For many people the holiday season has looked different the last few years. There is a deep longing to return to our normal traditions and normal patterns during this time of the year. While social media might have you fooled, most of us do NOT experience a perfect holiday.

When we can choose to do things like create boundaries, delegating tasks, and taking space when we need it we can avoid burnout and resentment.

Just like in nature, our lives go through different seasons. Think about Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter and consider how your own life might mimic the changes we feel as the seasons shift. If we truly want to live in alignment, we have to factor in the season of life we are in, and learn to respect all seasons equally. Winter is just as important as Summer. When we honor the season we are in, we can make decisions that are in alignment with where we are both on the micro and macro level. But let’s take it a level deeper. Did you know that as women, we go through 4 seasons in the course of our 29 day hormonal cycle? What if we designed our lives and businesses around the energy available to us in each phase of the month? What if we gave ourselves permission to let our bodies lead? What if we allowed the natural ebb and flow to help us create a sustainable way of living? Tune in to this week’s episode as Mary explores the ins and outs of aligned seasonal living.

ON THIS EPISODE WE WILL DISCUSS…

- Seasonal living both on a macro and micro level

- Respecting our natural energy cycles 

- Using nature as a metaphor for living a balanced life

- The difference in men’s and women's hormonal cycles

- 4 phases of a woman's hormonal cycle

- Designing a business that works with a woman’s cycle

- Creating deeper alignment in each season 

- And more!

What does “success” mean to you? Most of us have a blueprint given to us from our family of origin or society about what success means. Very rarely is our idea of success defined by what we actually want in our life. This leaves us feeling exhausted, heavy, fearful, stressed… the list goes on. Success should feel good. The getting there and the accomplishment. In order to begin to redefine success, we first have to get to the roots of where our current definition of success comes from. Once we discover our original blueprint we can ask ourselves the question “Is this working for me?”. We don’t have to sacrifice things like joy, family, alone time, friends, or mental health for success. We can create a life that is successful with all of those things included. That is the real definition of success. If you feel a victim to the life you have created you are likely not living a life based on YOUR definition of success and this episode is for you!

ON THIS EPISODE WE WILL DISCUSS…

-Where our definition of success comes from

-How fathers and mothers impact our ideas of success differently   

-Questions to ask yourself to discover how you define success

-How we operate out of someone else's conditions for success

-Expanding success beyond numbers and metrics

-3 Ingredients every new definition of success needs to include

-Coming into alignment with your truest self 

- And more!

Join me and my friend Dr. Rob Murray on this episode as we talk about ghosting. Have you ever been ghosted? Or maybe you are a ghoster? It has become common in our culture to manage our fear and anxiety of letting people down by just vanishing. When we do this we often leave people in a place of having to finish the story on their own. Our brains desperately want closure and often the way we fill in the blanks of that story is rooted in our old stories of rejection and shame about who we are. Being IN relationship means someone else is impacted by our behavior. Situations of ghosting are usually rooted in people pleasing, indirect boundaries, and fear of letting people down and both parties suffer. When we are focused on ourselves or our own shame we miss the opportunity to give the other person closure and potentially a deeper conversation to create healing and possibly resolution or a solution. Join us on this episode as we talk about how many of the ways we attempt to stay safe in relationships are strategies that don’t give us what we really want. 

ON THIS EPISODE WE WILL DISCUSS…

- What is “ghosting”

- Reasons we abruptly leave hard conversations  

- Why we need to increase our capacity to sit in discomfort  

- Common strategies we use to diffuse anxiety in relationships

- The difference between healthy and unhealthy conflict

- The problem with using the withdrawal tactic in relationships

- Confusing distance and cutoff with healthy boundaries

- And more!
