Today's podcast has a content warning. Our guest references her own spiritual practice in the

context of the podcast.

You know I got to know Mary because one of you introduced us via direct message on Instagram.

I took one glance at her very active account and was utterly delighted by her personality, her fashion sense, and her amazing reels.

For those of you who know Mary, you know exactly what I'm talking about.

I'm looking at her right now. Her picture has gorgeous red earrings and a bright turquoise top and her fiery red hair.

Mary is an international coaching expert for parents of spicy ones.

She helps people who are highly competent in life

but overwhelmed by the challenges of parenting to lean into the discipline of staying calm.

She helps them cultivate warmth and tenderness all while trying to wrangle the

fiery future of their tiny CEOs.

Mary helps parents build the skill of self-compassion.

She offers online courses and one hour classes

to help parents gain confidence to choose gentle

respectful parenting especially if they weren't raised that way. Mary is a

certified simplicity parenting counselor

and professional co-active coach.

She brings her life coaching and teaching skills

to her community every day.

Welcome, Mary, I am so glad you're here. Hi.

Oh my goodness, I am really excited to interview you.

Thanks for joining the podcast today.
