#80: Saying Yes to Yourself: What Happens When You Commit to Something Big

Have you ever noticed that when you commit to something big, things start shifting before you even get there?That’s what this episode is about.When you say yes to something that’s a full body yes, whether it’s a trip, commitment or new experience, things start happening immediately. Not when you arrive, but from the moment you say yes.I’m sharing what that looked like the first time I said yes to Egypt… the dreams that started months before the trip, a visitation from Sekhmet before I even knew who she was, my daughter’s unexpected resistance and the healing of a lifelong fear of heights, all happening in the before.Most people think about the during and the after. This episode is about the before, the period from when you commit to when you actually get there, and why paying attention to what happens in that space changes everything.Contraction alongside expansion is normal. A full body yes brings magic and challenge in equal measure. Knowing that makes it easier to navigate.What are you saying yes to right now?***Mary is going to Egypt in December 2026 with her friend and mentor Sarah Naia Soleil.
