Did our parents lie about the hardships of life? Were they just trying to protect us? Where's the fine line between being positive but hiding truths versus being negative but honest. Why do people feel so comfortable telling us to "just wait..." in an effort to share their own experiences while devaluing ours? And finally, what's the number one piece of advice I'd tell my younger self? This episode will resonate with many generations and remind us all that oftentimes the *way* we deliver a message has more impact than the message itself.

Mary Belle is a wife, mom, author, new podcaster, and lover of food. Since graduating college from the University of Delaware (go Blue Hens!) with a degree in Hotel, Restaurant & Institutional Management and then promptly never working in a hotel or restaurant afterwards (sorry Mom & Dad!) her career has spanned eight different industries.

Since deciding to cross "write a book" off her bucket list, she's become an author of contemporary romance, soon to be women's fiction and children's books, and now the host of "Life Actually with Mary Belle."

This show will inspire anyone to chase their dreams regardless of their circumstances, remind moms that life as we know it doesn't stop when we become parents, the importance of surrounding ourselves with good people and solid relationships, and a variety of other feel good topics in shorter bite sizable episodes.
