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…

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…

And wise enough to know when to bow out of one too. I’m ok with being considered foolish for saying ilu first, aggressive for saying I don’t agree (and why), cold for setting boundaries and crazy for asking for what I want. I credit my “success” to those tough/uncomfortable conversations BUT I credit just as much success (and peace of mind) to checking out of a convo when I’m on…

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…

As seen on Instagram: ? and “tahini” ginger chews. Remember these from my feed way back when? ? I used to make these by the jar full, sometimes strictly for sweet tooth needs and sometimes with Alpha Brain and MCT oil for special clients. ?#nonamedropping Today, just sweet pleasure whilst I watch the game. Made 3 ways: Plain, Walnut, and Pistachio. SUPER easy to make, and this was the phase…

The “after” turned out quite nice. Roasted Butternut Squash & Tomato Soup, Pan Seared Salted Haddock. Garnished with green onions, parsley and an orange-cream sauce made with @primalkitchenfoods mayo. A little black pepper and orange zest to end it before the first bite. I already took that bite. And a second and third. ??? #eatplaycrush

Impatiently waiting for these Cardamom Buttery Biscuit Cookies to cool. ? This was the earlier mentioned cookie experiment; chopped pistachios, walnuts, raisins, & coconut sugar are used 3 different ways in a cashew/coconut flour butter based cookie. In the making of the base, I had an egg in my hand to crack into the dough and got distracted in my apartment, walking away and randomly putting the egg down. …I…

If I didn’t ask men I found interesting out on dates first, I would have gone on a total of 3 dates in my life. Sometimes I’m turned down for dates, actually a lot of times. I don’t die as a result and my ego suffers very little damage. Why do I share this? Because when I hear my man friends complain about how hard it is for men to…

In a time where it’s easy to small talk, I crave (and indulge in) connection. That requires I be comfortable with sharing bits of me that may make some contract but when those few expand, oh my, does my being expand too. Your gut will tell you who is a flower and who is a weed, water wisely. xoM #eatplaycrush Poem above via @nayyirah.waheed

I weep as I post this general guide to Grain-Free Spanakopita. Every 6-8 months I try cheese to see if my body has decided to rid itself of the intolerance. ONE DAY, I will mind over matter my gut to go face deep in a tub of fresh and creamy feta cheese. I still make traditional spanakopita with phyllo for those that tolerate it because (thanks to my Mom) I…
