Join Mary as she kicks off the 3rd Season of Living Fully Alive podcast! We are going to spend Season 3 talking about emotions. There are A LOT of emotions right now. All you have to do is hop on social media and you will see that so many of us are feeling heavy emotions, and often those emotions are coming out sideways. Maybe you aren’t using social media or other public platforms to let your emotions out, maybe you are stuffing your emotions. Maybe you are using food, alcohol, busyness, or...

Join Mary and her part time co-host, Lindsley Brooks, as they talk about the power that we have when we learn to listen to our energetic body. Each of us puts off a unique energy or aura. This is scientifically proven. In Eastern medicine this is referred to as the subtle body. If you are wanting to live a holistic and healthy life, we have to become mindful of the subtle body and how to best support it. Our different energy centers, also known as Chakras, play a role in the function of...

Join Mary as kicks off this month's topic, Body Wisdom. We are all born with an innate connection to our bodies. Somewhere along the way, most of us lose that connection. As babies we are born with the ability to let our caretakers know when we are hungry, and we know to stop when we are satisfied. As we get older parents or caregivers may self impose their ideas around food. Maybe we grew up in the “clean plate club”. Maybe we experienced food insecurity growing up. Maybe we experienced...

Join Mary as she wraps up this month's topic of Self Sabotage. We wanted to wrap up the month with some practical ways to get through self sabotage. Self sabotage will likely be a recurring theme throughout our lives. As we grow and heal, our self sabotaging patterns will likely shift and change, but might not disappear. The real goal is to be able to recognize them sooner, and deal with them in a healthy way that meets them with understanding. When we are able to recognize and approach our...

Join Mary and her part-time cohost, Lindsley Brooks, as they discuss the importance of building integrity with yourself. Self integrity and self worth go hand in hand with one another. When we don’t follow through with integrity with ourselves we not only start to lose trust in ourselves, but we are also willing to tolerate others treating us without respect and integrity. We may find ourselves abandoning self in order to be loved and accepted. This is the ultimate form of breaking self...

Join Mary as she kicks off this month’s topic, Self Sabotage. Our conscious self often has great goals and desires. We want healthy bodies. Strong secure relationships. Thriving careers.

Join Mary and her guest and assistant, Liz Eskridge as they discuss how your core wounds can show up in your relationships. There are a lot of things we can avoid in life, relationships are not one of them! Family, partners, friends, co-workers, neighbors… all of these different relationships are sure to bring up our core wounds in various ways. If we aren’t aware of our core wounds we might find ourselves running from relationships, avoiding conflict, shape shifting to please others,...

Join Mary as she kicks off this month’s topic of Core Wounds. Our first core wound is the originating moment when we stop believing we are whole and deserving of unconditional love, and we start believing that there is something wrong with us. This usually takes place in early childhood when we don’t have the tools to recognize that we are not the problem. This ends up creating our personal reality. The person many of us become is often constructed based on wounding and not wholeness. Because...

Join Mary as she kicks off this month's topic of MINDFULNESS. Did you know that you have creative agency over your life? You have a say so in how your life plays out. You can’t create anything good in your life without becoming aware of how you got to where you are right now. We need to bring awareness to where we are in the present moment without judgement.

Join Mary as she kicks off this month’s topic of Body Confidence! Despite what culture tells us, most people will tell you the thing they find the most attractive about a woman is confidence. Confidence can often feel elusive. Either you have it, or you don’t. But true confidence comes when you walk in the knowledge that you are lovable. That even in your flaws you are enough. No matter what you look like, how you age, how your body changes, you are loved. Feeling confident in this means that...

Join Mary as she wraps up this month by talking about creating a blueprint to help you fulfill your purpose. We were all  uniquely created for a reason. Once we understand who we are at our core, it is much easier to craft the life we were meant to live. This allows us to show up for our purpose. It frees us from comparing our purpose to others. It frees us from allowing others to tell us who we should be. It allows us to see the value in who we are and the gift we have to offer the world. We...
