Find Yourself, Change Your Life

You probably already know the tools. Walking, journaling, breathwork, spending time with yourself. You've heard about them, maybe tried a few. So why doesn't knowing them actually change how you live?

In this episode, Mary gets into the gap between information and action… why we keep consuming more and more, and what actually moves the needle on real change.

The short answer: you don't need 25 more tools. You need five minutes with the ones you already have. Mary shares what it looks like to close that gap, why discomfort isn't a sign to stop, and what to hold onto when the people around you don't understand the change you're trying to make.

Have you ever woken up and just wondered when you could go back to bed? Or realized you've been running on autopilot for so long you've lost track of yourself? In this episode, Mary talks about what it actually looks like when you don't feel like yourself and more importantly, what you can do about it.

The disconnection is real. And it usually comes from not checking in with yourself along the way. The good news: you can come back. It starts smaller than you think.

Mary walks through why certain seasons of life make this harder, why your body is already your best compass, and the shift from quantity to quality in how you check in with yourself.

Someone at a workshop recently asked me: does it count as spending time by myself if I’m on a walk, but I’m listening to a podcast?

It’s such a good question because there’s a difference between being physically alone and actually spending time with yourself. One is about location. The other is about attention.

In this episode I go deeper into what it means to spend time alone but have external inputs, why it matters to pay attention to this, and what real alone time can look like.

Have you ever noticed that when you commit to something big, things start shifting before you even get there?

That’s what this episode is about.

When you say yes to something that’s a full body yes, whether it’s a trip, commitment or new experience, things start happening immediately. Not when you arrive, but from the moment you say yes.

I’m sharing what that looked like the first time I said yes to Egypt… the dreams that started months before the trip, a visitation from Sekhmet before I even knew who she was, my daughter’s unexpected resistance and the healing of a lifelong fear of heights, all happening in the before.

Most people think about the during and the after. This episode is about the before, the period from when you commit to when you actually get there, and why paying attention to what happens in that space changes everything.

Contraction alongside expansion is normal. A full body yes brings magic and challenge in equal measure. Knowing that makes it easier to navigate.

What are you saying yes to right now?

Have you ever stopped doing a practice that used to work and felt like you were failing because of it?

That’s what this episode is about.

The self discovery tools that help us reconnect to ourselves aren’t meant to stay the same forever. They shift as we shift. What worked in one season of life might look completely different in the next or get replaced by something else entirely.

I’m sharing how my own practices have changed over the years and the all-or-nothing trap that keeps people from showing up at all.

Your tools are allowed to evolve. So are you.

In this episode, I'm excited to introduce Return, a new community created for people who are ready to move beyond simply learning and begin practicing a different way of living. We talk about why information alone isn't enough, how small, intentional practices help us reconnect with ourselves, and why having support along the way can make all the difference. 

I also share two personal stories that illustrate the power of the mind-body connection and what can happen when we slow down, pay attention, and listen to what our bodies are trying to tell us.

Your body is speaking to you all the time… are you listening?

Sometimes we forget to connect with ourselves and we have to come back to it.

This final episode of the Summer of the Self series is about what it means to practice this. Because getting off track is part of life. You aren’t a machine showing up every day and doing the same exact thing over and over… your life evolves and changes, and sometimes you go off course.

I’m sharing what that looked like for me this summer. I’ve been traveling quite a bit over the last few months. Instead of beating myself up about how my schedule has looked and being “off track” from my routines, I found a different way to approach it.

That’s it. That’s the practice. Honoring where you are, staying in touch, and leaning into whatever season you’re in.

You’re invited to Return to Yourself, a one-year membership community for people who want to practice this work with others who get it. Mind-body connection, Human Design, and self-leadership all woven together to support you on your journey. We begin October 1.

Founding member bonuses are open now at community.maryclavieres.com.

Have you ever watched circumstances shift around you in ways that felt like too much of a coincidence?

That’s what this episode is about.

In this Summer of the Self episode, I’m sharing what starts to happen when you do the inner work… when you slow down, stop pushing, and create enough spaciousness to actually observe what’s around you. That’s when spiritual signs and intuitive guidance begin to show up in ways you can’t ignore.

I’m sharing one real story from earlier this year: being invited to support an event in the South of France, saying no because of family plans, and then watching my entire calendar rearrange itself without me doing anything. Friends rescheduling. My husband’s work moving. And then a special surprise from my sister.

I wasn’t forcing any of it. I was just watching.

This episode is an invitation to ask: how much spaciousness do you have in your life right now to observe what’s coming through?

Are you ending your days dropping into bed completely spent or do you feel reasonably good about how you showed up?

That gap tells you a lot about your energy management.

In this episode of the Summer of the Self series, we’re talking about energy… what it means to pay attention to it, what happens when you ignore it, and a simple tool called energy dollars that gives you a practical way to audit how you’re using yours.

The premise: you start each day with a certain number of energy dollars. Some activities spend them. Some give them back. Most of us have never looked at which is which and whether we’re consistently running in the negative.

I’m sharing my own story from my corporate years when I was not paying attention to my energy at all… I just pushed through over and over.

This week’s tool: take a look at what drains you, what fuels you, and how many of each you’re doing each day.

Do you ever notice the same emotion coming up again and again? Frustration at the same time every day, resentment in the same situations, or anger that keeps returning?

That emotion is trying to tell you something.

In this episode of the Summer of the Self series, we’re looking at emotions as messengers… not something to suppress or react to, but signals to get curious about. What’s underneath the emotion? How are you not being resourced enough right now? And how might you be playing a role in the story?

I’m sharing a real example from my own home plus an introduction to Dahn Jon tapping. This is a practice for releasing emotions that are stored in your body, rooted in the “water up, fire down” concept. I use it regularly myself and share it with clients all the time.

Your invitation this week: when an emotion keeps showing up, get curious instead of reactive.
