“I love how Mary makes important distinctions between things that are often confused for each other. In Ep 2, for example, she contrasts “having” a thing (such as a relationship) with “doing” or “being” the reason why you wanted the thing in the first place. If you think you will be happy when you “have” a relationship, maybe you can be happier right now by choosing to be and do the things you think you would get from a relationship, like do fun things, give and receive support, loved and be loved. You can do and be those things for yourself right now even without a relationship. Excellent point and thanks for making it. Another example is in Ep 156 where she advises us to separate our challenges from our identity. Your challenges are not YOU. Another excellent insight. And she is vulnerable and transparent with us the whole time. Really great work. Thanks Mary for such meaningful cups of tea!”
