Send us Fan Mail Welcome to part 3 of the drama triangle series! Rescuer energy wants to help. But often times, the motives are muddles. Rescuer energy "helps" in order to get a specific return. This might be in the form of gratitude or a specific emotional response.  This can show up as White Knight syndrome. This is where the Knight saves the damsel, but also perpetuates that damsel en...

Send us Fan Mail Every victim needs a persecutor. This means often times we swing back and forth between the two in order to secure our position as the victim. We do this because often times our brain wants to be RIGHT more than it wants to be HAPPY. Turning on the prefrontal cortex helps us to step out of the victim/persecutor role and move towards the more supportive challenger energy that remin...

Send us Fan Mail We all have a voice in our head. Sometimes this voice can be like an annoying roommate that just doesn't know when to keep their mouth quiet, sometimes it's that grumpy relative that just sits in the corner mumbling criticisms under their breath, other times its a cheerleader.   Becoming a conscious observer of this voice can help us to choose into which voice we want to...

Send us Fan Mail What if the road you're on leads you to where you are going? Do you like the current results of your actions? Or is it time to course correct?   Today we explore this idea through the story of Ebenezer Scrooge from A Christmas Carol.  We all have an opportunity to self reflect on what it is we are creating. We are always creating something. Whether it be consciously or uncons...

Send us Fan Mail We all see the world through our own lens. And sometimes that lens is foggy or distorted, which can make it harder to see people and situations clearly.  Today we are going to talk about my experience with jury selection and how becoming aware of our own bias can help us to become conscious creators of the life we want to create.  You can find me on instagram @maryann.walker.life...

Send us Fan Mail Not only do we have a manual we carry around for how other people "should" show up for us, but we have a manual for what the holidays "should" look like too.

Send us Fan Mail Feelings are a big deal!  We write songs about them, we talk about them, we share them with others... We seek out them out! Feelings shape how we show up in the world. They are SO important for so many reasons!  Today we are going to address some of the reasons why they are such a big deal.

Send us Fan Mail We all grieve differently. And that's OK. Whether you are grieving the end of a life, a relationship, or a situation, I hope you will find some peace in knowing that wherever you are at in the grieving process, it's going to be ok. 

Send us Fan Mail Our brain is ALWAYS working. And it WILL find what it’s looking for.  One of the big jobs of being a human is to become the boss of our own brains and think on purpose.  For example, rather than letting your brain show you all the reasons why you and your partner aren’t connecting in the way that you would like, intentionally ask it to look for ways that you and your partner CAN c...

Send us Fan Mail All of us want to raise children that are competent and capable.  In order to do this we must help them to develop their prefrontal cortex. This can be done by helping to create a safe space for learning, allowing consequences to do the teaching, acting vs reacting as a parent by activating our own prefrontal cortex, and working to create a relationship where we can keep the door...

Send us Fan Mail Sometimes we just need to feel with a witness. This is what coaching does for me.

Send us Fan Mail Integrity means your actions and your words match up.  When you tell yourself you're going to do something, do you follow through?  When we take massive action by scheduling and follow through with what we say we are going to do,  we can blow our own minds with what we can accomplish!  TikTik: maryann.walker.life Instagram: maryann.walker.life  Website: www.maryannwalker.life...

Send us Fan Mail Are you setting a boundary line or a battle line?   Boundaries are not "You have to do this." That is a demand.  Rather, a true boundary is, "If you do that, then I will do this."  In this episode we will talk about how empowering true boundaries can be. 

Send us Fan Mail We wouldn't consciously choose to make someone else 100% responsible for our emotional state. But when we are acting through emotional childhood, we are doing exactly that. We are making our happiness 100% conditional upon how someone else chews their food, drives, or cleans.  We know we are acting through emotional childhood when we discover we have an invisible manual for h...

Send us Fan Mail Often times someone says or does something one time. One singular incident. And once it’s over, we choose to replay that event in our head over and over and over again.  Maybe we are in the shower trying to think of our comeback line or maybe every time we are talking to our bestie we find we are talking about that same incident over and over. When we do this, we are essentially d...

Send us Fan Mail Did you know not everyone likes chocolate chip cookies?  And that's ok!   Just like with cookies, if someone doesn't like you, it doesn't mean there is anything wrong with you or with them. You just aren't for them. And that's ok!   In this episode we will talk about how the only way to find those that truly resonate with you is to be your awesome authenti...

Send us Fan Mail Too often we assume that our story or personal opinions  ARE the facts!  But this isn't necessarily true! Believing our own stories can prevent us from seeing a situation  more clearly or  lead to unnecessary frustration in life and relationships. Separating out the facts from our stories about the facts can not only help us to look at things in a new way,  but help us to int...
