This weeks episode begins our emPOWRD journey! I have been listen, learning and humaning for a while now and just like you life has thrown me a few curve balls. The way I have responded has been to understand how to stay resilient, how to care for myself, so I can then show up fully for the people and situations in my life. AND I when life got really hard I decided I wanted to live the hard things fully so I can embrace and celebrate the good and beautiful things. My tag line has become, "it's a hard and beautiful life"- that's just the truth of it.  So here is the beginning of me sharing some of the tools I use to figure out to ride the waves of this human life, which has ultimately led me to living a more authentic aligned life.. I call this my toolkit . This has turned into a "program" I offer to others so you can build your own toolkit and live your most beautiful, hard precious life.  Facebook Page Instagram Mary's Website
