Episode 27: Our Friendship: Part Martha, Part Mary, 100% Real

from Fearless & Forty · host Susan Norgren

In this episode, we take a closer look at the story of Mary and Martha — and how their personalities show up in our own lives. Katie always thought of herself as a Martha, the one busy doing all the things, until Susan pointed out the “Mary” side of her — the gift of being present and making people feel seen. Sometimes it takes a friend to show you your strengths and remind you who you really are. Susan shares how she can be a mix of both, but leans more Martha, and together we unpack what it means to balance the doing with the being. Whether you find yourself running around like Martha or sitting still like Mary, this conversation is about friendship, perspective, and the beauty of owning all sides of who we are. #fearlessand40 #midlife #marthaormary #gifts #friendshipinmidlife For Reference: Luke 10:38–42 The Girlfriend  Yellowjackets  Call the Midwife  The Morning Show  The Summer I Turned Pretty  aka Charlie Sheen
