life gets weird

Life has been kind of crazy recently and I've really struggled with taking a step back and being proud of myself. Sometimes it is hard. You feel unworthy of good things and you feel even more unworthy of feeling proud of yourself but you have to be proud of yourself before you want anyone else to be proud of you.  I'm proud of your work in progress. Keep going! Where to catch me: Nature's Cal...

Welcome back to Life Gets Weird (again, yikes). In this week's episode we catch up on where I've been first and foremost, but then we talk about how as humans we tend to forget that we evolve throughout life and we change and it's okay to not be someone that you once were. It's part of the journey.  Subscribe to my weekly newsletter: marysteven.substack.com Follow my Instagram: @marystevenn

This weeks episode is all about how we get comfortable with the familiar and how taking steps out of that comfort zone can be scary but leaves us room to take a chance on ourselves. Also, I talk about my drunk weekend and my current favourite reads!  instagram: @marystevenn tiktok: @oatmilkleaader spotify: mary claire steven

Dating, guys, sexuality, everything that falls into the sphere of "hot girl summer" is all fun and games but don't forget to heal. There's so much involved in the notions of dating that we often forget to reflect on ourselves whilst we're getting lost in the sauce of it all. This is quite the "girl talk" episode. And yes, if you're here from my tiktkok, I will be explaining the backne story in thi...

This week we're talking about the uncomfortable conversations. We're talking PMDD, mental health, birth control, pay transparency, unlearning misogyny and breaking stigmas. Have the conversations that make people feel uncomfortable because within that discomfort is room for so much growth. instagram: @marystevenn spotify: mary claire steven

We're back for season 2. And we're back with a whole ton of word vomit. All things therapy, Harry Styles, dropping out of university, social constructs and knowing your worth. Instagram: @marystevenn.

this episode was wild. I don't know where my brain was at but enjoy me talking about defining who you are, becoming your best self, mental health struggles and getting back into routine and habit post-lockdown. Instagram: @marystevenn

There’s something about putting pen to paper and pouring your heart out that makes you feel lighter and if some of those words help make someone else make sense of their world then that’s amazing but know that even if it doesn’t, it helped you make sense of your world. That’s the biggest blessing your art can offer.  instagram: @marystevenn spotify: mary claire steven

Focus on the things that make you unique in this world. I promise you, the things you class as flaws and the things you try to hide from this world are actually the things that make you so special. Whether it's a scar that shows in certain lights or your blunt sarcasm. Someone out there is so glad they got to witness something so unique from you.  Instagram: @marystevenn

Just because you aren’t where you want to be or you’re struggling to find your place in this world, it doesn’t mean that you’re failing. Jealousy is natural and normal. We’ve all felt it. And sometimes it’s overwhelming. Channel that jealousy into drive and inspiration. instagram: @marystevenn

Losing people that you thought would be with you forever is heartbreaking. And sometimes it feels like it will never get easier and that you will never heal. But sometimes it’s what you have to do. So fight for yourself. Heal for yourself. Chose yourself every single time. There will be times where you feel like you can’t go on and that you made a mistake. Leave what you have outgrown. Remember, c...

Pain is subjective. Nobody can objectively have it worse or easier than you. Everything you feel and everything you experience is based on your own personal perception of pain. Outsiders looking in on your life will never know the truth, in the same way, the whole world has this idea of the Royal Family being the perfect nuclear family only to find out the horrors that Prince Harry and Meghan Mark...

We're talking about all things communication and expressing emotions. It's hard, why lie? It's even harder when your previous friendships or relationships have been built on a lack of communication and that becomes all you know. We're all working on ourselves and we all do that at a completely different pace to the next person but know when your path isn't meant to align with someone else's anymor...

OKAY FINE, here's the episode on SoulCycle and why I love it so much. Hopefully I'll never mention it again. No promises though. I also talk about wellness and self care but I know you mainly want to hear why I can’t shut up about a bike that doesn’t go anywhere. Instagram: @marystevenn
