Waking The F$#% Up

The second I heard Mary’s voice, I knew she had grit. One day, while working in the Lavender & Grit workspace in Brighton, I overheard Mary talking with one of her clients. The energy, the directness, and the confidence immediately caught my ear, and we connected soon after. What I didn’t know was Mary’s incredible story: from struggles with addiction and obesity that nearly killed her in her 30’s, all the way to the massage therapist, nutritionist, lifestyle coach, retreat leader, and inspirational speaker she is today. Mary is a badass and I am so excited to share our conversation with you this week. If you’ve been sleeping on your priorities, this will serve as one hell of a wakeup call.
