  • No joke food business

    What hand packing 10,000 individuals Phat Fudge packets will get you: Power Packing Muscle! ? The only other time I’ve seen this muscle go beast mode was when I played competitive tennis as a teenager. Signed up for another 5,000 hand packed packets while I wait. and wait. and wait. for the co-packer to get situated. If you have a food business, you know my pain. It’s no joke. And…

  • My Practice: Beating Blues

    I think I ruined my favorite casual sneaks, soaked in salt water, because I was attempting to snap a photo of the ocean but didn’t see/move in time for the wave that came up to my knees. Dumbass, I am. ? Oh, well. Current Musings: When I’m feeling down/blue (which happens a bit, I’m sorta moody) the things that make me feel STRONG again are gratitude for my family, honoring…

  • My Practice: Small Talk

    Small talk is the longest bridge between two people. I wanted to say that small talk is the longest distance between two people, but there is something specific in the idea of a bridge. It’s something you can visualize stepping onto, getting closer to the other person. When it comes to small talk, I am awful at it. Not really trying to improve, either. BUT, I do make an effort…

  • Throwback Phat Fudge

    #tbt to when I was figuring out how to take the recipe you guys made go viral and turn it into a product because you asked. Chuckling about the initial manufacturers and established food people that told me it couldn’t be done. Oh, really? Thank you for that extra motivation. ? I had to HAND make each packet on the first 50 orders. ? Come a long way in less…

  • Who is Mary?

    My Resume: Golf Ball Stand. Hallmark. High School Drop Out. HOA Management. Oral Surgical Assistant. Human Resources. Technology Sales. Director of Sales. Private Chef. Foodpreneur. SO MANY new faces here! I thought I’d recycle some words about who I be so you know the ridiculousness you’ve joined. East Coast born, West Coast grown. Unless I am being chased by zombies, running a marathon sounds painful but I will spend 6…

  • Ladies, don’t be shy

    Remember when it was this simple? ? With Valentine’s Day around the corner, if you’re like me, don’t be shy about being the lady that makes the first move. ? Look, I’m all gooey and sweet on the man leading but there is no shame is seeing something you like and saying, “I like you. Do you like me?”. Being too cool for school is so 2015. Don’t worry, if…

  • (Role) Model Life

    Reposting myself because I’m cool like that. ? I’ve never had abs, let alone a 6-pack. The closest I get is 2 top abs from having a killer serve in tennis, where I fold/crunch to come down on that yellow ball with a fiery force. ? #ace I’ve been 16% body fat, in a healthy way, training as an athlete and eating like a horse. I’ve been 25% body fat,…

  • Recovering Yes Woman

    Hi. My name is Mary and I’m a recovering Yes Woman. All together now: Hi, Mary. Here’s the deal, in cliffs notes: I tend to be really generous with my time, my help, my food, my home, my money, etc. to the point where I, previously, didn’t set boundaries when I felt that the circumstance was becoming really unbalanced. Expressing this frustration to my Father, the feeling that “I’m being…

  • My Practice: Think Like a Champ

    At any time (like, right now) you can choose to trash all your excuses and start thinking like a champion. Champions don’t expect the trophy no sooner than after they’ve put in the work, over and over and over again. And once they get the trophy, they go back to putting in the work, over and over and over again. I don’t hear a single star athlete or ass-kicking entrepreneur…

  • My 2016 Vows

    Last January, I set vows for myself. I started 2015 with this thought in mind: I am exactly the kind of woman I wanted to be when I grew up. From there, I patched any “leaks” with vows based on the things I struggled with in 2014. I’ve got my “business goal list” too but without my mind/body/soul shit together, I certainly couldn’t tackle launching another business. I’ve begun my…
