Hi, I’m Mary.

I’m glad you’re here! Fierce Resilience is a 2x monthly newsletter all about how we get through life’s tough moments, big and small.

What you’ll get as a subscriber:

Empowerment Through Personal Stories: Often the easiest way to shine a light on life’s hard moments is to be candid about my own. I was diagnosed with a chronic, incurable disease 10 years ago so I share a point of view based on my experience with health and wellness struggles, together with my professional experience as a meditation guide, public speaker, and a professional brand storyteller (boy, what a mix).

It takes a lot to overcome hard moments, that’s why I offer relatable insights to empower you to face the crazy challenges that pop up in life (don’t they always). I get candid and real in my storytelling—not because I love talking about myself (well, maybe), but—to foster a sense of community and understanding.
For my people out there living with chronic illnesses—I got you; I am you.
If you’re a burnt out from the corporate rat race—I’ve been there.
If you’re a struggling mom just trying to keep your sanity—been there too.
And for the many kind souls going through big heartbreak in any way—from a romanic or platonic break up, divorce, financial debt, loss of job, loneliness—I want you to know that I can feel your soul from here, and I’m sorry for the pain you’re going through.

Let’s not do this life thing alone.

Practical Strategies for Wellness: Also get actionable advice and tips for improving mental and physical health. I combine my personal experiences with research-backed strategies, helping you adopt a proactive approach to your well-being.

Hey, we’re all in this together!
