Today, we raise a glass….

To our failures! 🍾

Like a snake shedding its skin, we too shed a version of ourselves that we have now outgrown or a mindset that no longer serves us.

Moments of failure may come with darkness, but they also bring a bright magic that cannot be denied. 

In today’s episode you’ll discover: 

• How to muzzle the voice of criticism and shame, and awaken the voice of your inner Fairy Godmother in a Cheerleading Costume
• A few of my personal stories of learning to frolic with failure - of which there are many!
• How to use somatics and sensory delight to rewrite your story around failure, and rewire your mindset around risk

And with that, a toast…

To allowing failure to sculpt us into the most brave, beautiful, gorgeous, seasoned version of ourselves we came here to be.

Wherever you are today, I’m sending you spoonfuls of love.  But if you are in a season of heartbreak, I am sending you giant, heaping measuring cups full of love, tenderness and encouragement.

Nothing hurts like a broken heart. When our hearts are broken due to a break up or loss, we are walking around with an invisible injury.

The ache in your chest can turn your mind into a hall of mirrors, and basic human functions like sleeping and eating suddenly become olympic level feats.

When you relax into today’s episode, you’ll feel a healing balm seep into the sore corners of your heart.

The places where your mind has been ravaged by critical thoughts will be gently sealed, and a fire lit for you to warm your hands by.

No matter how long or short the relationship was, whether it happened two weeks ago or two decades; heartbreak is evidence of having loved.  There is no shame in that, my dear one.

I welcome you to this very human campfire we call heartbreak, to bask in the light of your own courage, and to receive the encouragement of all those who have gone before you on the path of learning how to love.

If you'd like to go deeper with what you hear here, you can check out the Balm For A Broken Heart Support Kit here, which accompanies this episode.

With love,
Mary

Today, we take a journey through each of the senses in curating your collection of bedside comforts.   

Your cozy haven awaits.

We all have traits of nurturance, intuition, emotionality, sensitivity and flow; but for many of us, regardless of gender identity, these feminine aspects are vastly under utilized. 

When I coach with a client to help them expand into their desires, we do not focus on toughening up and going for the gold. 

In fact, in embodiment coaching we focus on becoming even more sensitive to the subtle messages of thought, sensation and emotion. 

In doing so, a whole new world of wisdom opens up. 

If you’ve ever been shamed for your sensitivity, or been taught that sensitivity is a weakness, I invite you to ponder….

• What if those ideas were just fear responses to your power? 
• What if sensitivity is actually a healthy response to and unhealthy situation, and when embraced, could create positive change? 
• If you feel numb and under-sensitive, what if you could melt that armor like warm candle wax, and experience a more authentic side of yourself than you’ve ever known? 

If these questions cause a spark, come on over here Wonder Woman.  ✨

Your golden lasso awaits. 

Listen in for today’s gems on Sensitivity as a Superpower.

Do you ever wish that bedtime felt more luxurious?  Does getting into bed at night sometimes resemble a crash landing? 

Many people yearn for a more relaxing bedtime ritual, but when you're already exhausted, even a shower can feel like work.

Elementally simple: water, paper, breath, aroma. 

In today's episode you'll find the simplest of rituals to inspire comfort, ease and twilight luxury.

A conversation between two friends on how to love each other well, how conflict can be an inroad to blissful intimacy, how anxiety can be eased through a certain kind of self-pleasure, and how to give up trying to be perfect, in order to get free. 

May this episode inspire intimacy, realness, wheezing laughter, and pleasure in all your relationships.

Today we’re taking a front row seat to the speedy Nascar track within all of us - that closed loop system of our body and mind.

The mind is often demonized, but it’s as much a part of your body as your eyeballs or belly button.

What if we set aside space and time to romance our minds?

What if the relationship between our bodies and our minds could actually be THE greatest love story of all time?

You’ve always known this connection could be more of a dance than a duel. 

Let’s hit the dance floor like Romy & Michelle.
