Soften the Edges

We're closing out the season together: you, me, and the wisdom of trees. You share some super important cellular code with trees - ya know, the kind that keeps you alive - and we'll dive into how trees and our bodies hold our stories. Plus we'll do a quick somatic practice to help you shift into a calmer mode.

Positive self-talk isn't just a nice idea, it's a science-backed technique that can help you navigate life with more calm and ease. Join Mary and special guests Steenz, Kaylen Wissinger, Alain McAlister, and Laurie Brockhaus for pep talks that could change the way you show up today, tomorrow, and here on out.

If you've been stuck in binary, all or nothing thinking lately - it's all good or all bad, perfect or a disaster, hear this: it's not your fault. It's your human nervous system doing a very old thing. We're gonna talk about the nervous system, what's going on biologically when we hit these spirals, and how to exhale our way into a tiny bit of calm.

When you're in the habit of carrying all the things, it can be hard to slow down and rest. Mary breaks down the biology, psychology, and culture behind why it's hard to rest, and leads a quick somatic practice designed to ease you into rest.

Join Mary and Alain McAlister, a luminous artist who went from pushing through everything to actually listening to their body (and kept creating anyway!).

We get into what it really means to assess your bandwidth, how to scrap projects without shame, and why befriending your self-doubt might be better than fighting it. Alain shares what changed after an autism diagnosis in college, how they structure their days around energy instead of shoulds, and why sometimes the most creative thing you can do is stop.

If you've been ignoring your limits (or maybe pretend you don't even have them!), this conversation will feel like a gentle permission slip to assess your own bandwidth and move forward more gently.

Hey, join us at the Rad Self-Care Summit!

If being hard on yourself worked, it would have worked by now. Explore the science of why self-criticism is the opposite of what we need when the going gets tough, plus dive into a quick exhale for practicing compassion.

Why do New Year’s resolutions fail — even when we really want them to stick?

In this episode, we explore how your nervous system prioritizes safety over change, and why lasting transformation only happens when we move slowly, gently, and within our capacity. You’ll learn how to work with your nervous system (not against it), take tiny steps that actually stick, and start the year in a way that feels sustainable instead of exhausting.

✨ Plus, a grounding weekly exhale and an invitation to the Rad Self-Care Summit.
