Feeling stuck doesn’t mean you’re unmotivated — it usually means you don’t feel safe enough to move. Fear, shame, and self-doubt can quietly trap us in loops of overthinking, avoidance, and perfectionism, especially when past experiences have taught our bodies that taking risks isn’t safe. In this episode, Mary explores why fear often...

These are the truths about ourselves, our relationships, and our lives that we push aside in the name of comfort, control, or keeping the peace. But avoiding them doesn’t make them disappear. It only keeps...

When you begin doing deeper work on yourself, the questions start coming: Why do I feel guilty when I take care of myself? Why does setting boundaries suddenly feel so frustrating? Why do I feel like I can’t tolerate certain people anymore? These moments can feel unsettling—but they’re actually signs that you’re waking up to yoursel...

In this week’s episode, I answer some of the most common questions I’ve heard as both a therapist and coach. From knowing when you’re settling, to why we ignore red flags, to what to do when boundaries aren’t respected, these struggles show up for almost everyone at some point in their relationships.

Sometimes what we call “helping” is actually about managing our own anxiety or steering someone else’s choices. In this episode, we explore how love and care can get tangled with control—often without us realizing it. We’ll look at how this shows up in long-term relationships, and how it can sneak in early with new partners or friends through behaviors that feel supportive on the surf...

Not all unhealthy relationships announce themselves with yelling, cheating, or dramatic fights. Many of the most damaging ones chip away at us quietly—through subtle behaviors we often brush off or explain away. In this episode, Mary unpacks the small but powerful signs that can leave you feeling drained, doubting yourself, and unsu...

This new month is all about being, being still, and having the bravery to be your authentic self.  Well, in order to do that, we HAVE to reconnect with our feelings and truly be able to sit with them, or we simply cannot truly be in touch with ourselves.  That’s why I’m so excited...

In this episode, we’re diving into what it really means to trust yourself—especially after years of self-doubt, people-pleasing, or putting everyone else’s needs ahead of your own.
