In this episode, Mari pulls back the curtain on her 8-week "Savor Your Summer" coaching series, sharing the origin story and giving you a sneak peek at what happens inside. She reveals how a hectic, expensive, and overwhelming summer led to creating a completely different approach to summer living.

Key Highlights:

• The origin story: How hosting a 15-year-old cousin for 3 weeks led to an exhausting, expensive summer that left Mari feeling resentful instead of fulfilled
• Why "busy" became her default descriptor for summer (instead of fun, joyful, or exciting) and how that was a wake-up call
• The "Embracing Envy" exercise: Creating a menu of 40-100 things you want to savor this summer (not a to-do list!)
• How to define your "main character energy" for summer - whether it's wildflower vibes, productivity energy, or slow living
• Reality check: We're only 24 days into summer with 70 days left - it's definitely not too late to reclaim your season
• Savor Your Summer themes include: Finding Fun in everyday moments, Indulge in Experience, Create Magic Moments, and Prioritize Play

  Savor Your Summer isn't about expensive excursions or adding more to your plate. It's about being present for big moments AND finding joy in the mundane. The goal is holistic savoring from a slower perspective - whether that's shooting hoops with your 10-year-old, taking 15 minutes for a romance novel, or driving with the windows down and radio off.

In this vulnerable and honest episode, Mari shares her decision to take a complete 5-month break from social media and what she's learned in just the first week. She opens up about the surprising ways social media was affecting her self-worth, emotional regulation, and authentic living.

Key Highlights:

• Why she decided on a 5-month complete social media break after hearing other women step away and recognizing unhealthy patterns
• How seeking validation through likes and comments was creating an unhealthy cycle of self-worth based on external metrics
• The "vegan shrimp" comment that became the breaking point - realizing negative comments from strangers were affecting her daily mood
• Week one discovery: using social media as a numbing tactic during difficult emotions instead of fully processing feelings
• The surprising absence of FOMO - without seeing others' highlight reels, her "okay" July 4th felt perfectly fine
• Living life without documenting for others allows for more authentic, present experiences (and potentially more comfortable kids)

In this episode, Mari kicks off a new "permission slip series" focused on giving yourself permission to make summer (and life) easier and more joyful. She shares her own summer permission slips and crowdsourced suggestions from her social media community to help you reclaim your summer on your own terms.

Episode Highlights:

• Mari's "permission to be boring" approach to meal planning - six meals on rotation all summer to save mental energy for more important things
• How downsizing her wardrobe by 75% actually created more freedom and easier decision-making
• Permission to be "cringe" - the story of hosting standup paddleboard yoga with friends despite looking ridiculous
• A wake-up call about mindless phone scrolling during meals and the permission to slow down and savor moments
• Community-suggested permission slips: saying no without explanation, changing your mind and canceling, doing things your way, telling the truth, asking for help, and more

Key Takeaways:

• Being "boring" in some areas (like meals and wardrobe) can free up mental energy for what truly matters
• Having fewer options often leads to faster, easier decisions and less overwhelm
• Embracing the "cringe" and silly moments often leads to the most fun and memorable experiences
• Slowing down and savoring simple pleasures (like a good meal) requires intentional permission in our hustle culture
• "No" is a complete sentence - you don't owe anyone explanations for your boundaries
• It's okay to change your mind, cancel plans, and pivot when something doesn't spark joy

Featured Permission Slips:

• Permission to be boring (in service of being energized elsewhere)
• Permission to be cringe and look ridiculous while having fun
• Permission to slow down and savor the moment
• Permission to say no without explanation
• Permission to change your mind and cancel
• Permission to rock your summer body as it is right now

Announcement: Savor Your Summer 2025 starts July 11th - an 8-week coaching series ($297) to help you reclaim your summer, prioritize play and pleasure, and put yourself first. Includes a wrap-up party at the lakehouse!

In this episode, Mari continues her lake house dream saga with the exciting conclusion - from finally getting an offer to moving in and experiencing the reality of a decade-long dream coming true. She shares the unexpected challenges that come with achieving major life goals and the lessons learned along the way.

Episode Highlights:

• The strategic moves that led to finally selling their house (double listing and price reduction)
• Getting "the offer" on their 20th wedding anniversary during a fancy date night in Bellevue
• Moving day reality: the overwhelming challenge of no garage storage vs. two-car garage worth of belongings
• Amazing pinch-me moments: surfing back to their own house, hosting more people than in 15 years
• The unexpected safety anxiety of managing teenagers around water activities
• How a month of constant celebrating completely derailed all established routines

Key Takeaways:

• Dreams are worth chasing even when the outcome looks different than expected - you'll never know unless you try
• "New levels, new devils" is real - achieving goals brings new challenges and that's completely normal
• Getting off routine is a productivity and mood killer - the basics matter more than we think
• Alone time isn't selfish, it's essential for preventing resentment and maintaining energy
• It's okay to accept help even when you don't technically "need" it
• Creating external deadlines (like hosting a party) can motivate faster action

Announcement: Savor Your Summer 2025 is open - an 8-week coaching cohort ($297) designed to help you reclaim summer joy and create your favorite summer on record.

In this quick solo episode, Mari shares insights from her recent retreat. She explores how we can "other" successful people and takes a different approach to comparison and personal growth.

Mari emphasizes the importance of letting your own progress be "badass" rather than "pathetic" when measured against others' achievements. She encourages listeners to view accomplished people as inspiration rather than comparison points, and to take pride in smaller steps that move them toward their goals.

Through personal examples of running and retreat planning, Mari demonstrates how starting small is the key to eventually achieving what you can imagine

• The challenge of their current home not selling as quickly as anticipated after 3 weeks on the market
• Mari's journey from excitement to fear and back to possibility thinking
• How turning "Worry into Wonder" can open up new perspectives and opportunities

Key Takeaways:

• When things don't go according to plan, turning "Worry into Wonder" can reveal new possibilities
• Joy can exist even without ease - sometimes the challenging path is where we find the most joy

In this episode, we’re talking about the in-between—the stepping stones on the path to a life you truly adore. Too often, we focus on the big, dreamy end goal and forget that the journey isn’t always linear. Sometimes, we go from barely tolerating life to simply liking it before we ever get to loving it. And that’s okay. Using my own experience of moving through five “stepping stone” homes before reaching my dream house, I explore how embracing each stage—without rushing—can make the process feel more attainable, compassionate, and real.     The Crew: https://mari-wuellner.mykajabi.com/offers/NXbrTohB
