Welcome to my series within Hot Takes on Healing: "Fly On a Wall", where you get an all-access pass to the deep, inspiring, & unfiltered conversations I’ve had with some of my closest friends.
These are the moments we’ve always wished other people could hear—the real, *no edits*, NO-BS chats where nothing is off-limits. We’re talking about the stuff that hits you right in the gut, the kind of truths that stick with you, and the kind of honesty that’ll make you feel like you’re sitting right there with us.
In this episode, I sit down with Mary Rauber, owner of MMoonchild Scented Creations and the generous sponsor of our first in-person Soundboard event on March 1st in East Haven, CT (Want the deets? Click HERE to get access to it all!).
Mary isn’t just an incredible entrepreneur, but my soulmate best friend for over 20 years. Together, we share laughter, raw truths, and the kind of connection that only decades of friendship can build.
We dive deep into topics that hit home for anyone navigating life’s complexities like breaking free from people-pleasing and learning how to use your voice authentically. And of course, we go all-in on boundaries—what they are (hint: they’re about YOUR actions, not someone else’s) and how to set them unapologetically when you have SELF-RESPECT. This conversation is packed with hard-earned wisdom, and I can’t wait for you to listen.
If you enjoyed this episode, share it with someone who needs to hear it and let us know your thoughts. And who knows? You might just feel like a fly on the wall in the best way possible.
