Some mornings I sit with my coffee and wonder… is this it? Retirement is supposed to be the best years of our lives, but what do we really do with them?

That’s why I started my new podcast Yes, I Can!—a celebration of saying yes to life at any age. 💕

Episode 1 is out now—come join me as we talk about purpose, adventure, and living fully—because if I can, so can you.

"Healing starts when you recognize you are not the problem — the system is."

— Dawn Stilwell, They Called Her Jezebel

Hi, it’s Mary, and this week on Being Mary I sit down with my good friend Dawn Stilwell, author of They Called Her Jezebel: A Cult Survivor’s Self-Help Memoir. Dawn opens up about her emotional journey — from her early passion for faith and leadership in the church, to the shocking realization that what she thought was her spiritual home was actually a cult. She shares the painful process of breaking free, the lessons she’s learned, and how she found the courage to heal and reclaim her voice. 

🎧 Hear her story on todays podcast!

Hi, it’s Mary—and welcome back to Being Mary.

We’ve been talking about three small habits that can change your body, your energy, and your life.
 Habit #1 was all about moving your body.
 Habit #2 was about creating more presence in your life.

And now—Habit #3.
 It’s simple, powerful, and honestly, it might be the most surprising one yet.

Want to know what it is? Relationships!

Hi, it’s Mary—and I’ve got a question for you:

What if just 3 Tiny Tweaks could change your body, boost your energy, and add years to your life?
Sounds dramatic, right? But it’s backed by science—and I’m breaking it all down in a new 3-part podcast series.

In this first episode, I’m talking about the one habit you already know—but might be overlooking.

It’s not about losing weight.
 It’s not about looking a certain way.
 It’s about feeling better—right now.

This one simple thing? It’s the best age-defying trick we’ve got.

Episode 2: What Caregivers Need — Help, Compassion & Healing

Hi, it’s Mary — and welcome back to Being Mary.
Last time, I shared my personal journey as a caregiver.
Today, I want to talk about what caregivers need from the people around them — how you can really show up for someone who’s caring for a loved one. Even the smallest gestures can mean the world.
