Find Yourself, Change Your Life

Have you ever woken up and just wondered when you could go back to bed? Or realized you've been running on autopilot for so long you've lost track of yourself? In this episode, Mary talks about what it actually looks like when you don't feel like yourself and more importantly, what you can do about it.The disconnection is real. And it usually comes from not checking in with yourself along the way. The good news: you can come back. It starts smaller than you think.Mary walks through why certain seasons of life make this harder, why your body is already your best compass, and the shift from quantity to quality in how you check in with yourself. ***You’re invited to join Return is a year-long community for women who are ready to make more space for themselves in the middle of real life. It’s a place to move beyond simply learning and begin putting what you know into practice, so you can better understand yourself, make choices that reflect what matters to you, and navigate life’s changing seasons without losing yourself along the way.Founding member pricing includes 4 private 45-minute calls with Mary when you join by October 7.

Someone at a workshop recently asked me: does it count as spending time by myself if I’m on a walk, but I’m listening to a podcast?It’s such a good question because there’s a difference between being physically alone and actually spending time with yourself. One is about location. The other is about attention.In this episode I go deeper into what it means to spend time alone but have external inputs, why it matters to pay attention to this, and what real alone time can look like.***Return is a year-long community for women who are ready to make more space for themselves in the middle of real life.

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.

Have you ever stopped doing a practice that used to work and felt like you were failing because of it?That’s what this episode is about.The self discovery tools that help us reconnect to ourselves aren’t meant to stay the same forever. They shift as we shift. What worked in one season of life might look completely different in the next or get replaced by something else entirely.I’m sharing how my own practices have changed over the years and the all-or-nothing trap that keeps people from showing up at all.Your tools are allowed to evolve.

In this episode, I'm excited to introduce Return, a new community created for people who are ready to move beyond simply learning and begin practicing a different way of living. We talk about why information alone isn't enough, how small, intentional practices help us reconnect with ourselves, and why having support along the way can make all the difference. I also share two personal stories that illustrate the power of the mind-body connection and what can happen when we slow down, pay attention, and listen to what our bodies are trying to tell us.Your body is speaking to you all the time… are you listening?Resources and Next Steps:Return to Yourself CommunityA place to strengthen the relationship you have with yourself.Founding member pricing and bonuses now available.

Sometimes we forget to connect with ourselves and we have to come back to it.This final episode of the Summer of the Self series is about what it means to practice this. Because getting off track is part of life. You aren’t a machine showing up every day and doing the same exact thing over and over… your life evolves and changes, and sometimes you go off course.I’m sharing what that looked like for me this summer. I’ve been traveling quite a bit over the last few months. Instead of beating myself up about how my schedule has looked and being “off track” from my routines, I found a different way to approach it.That’s it. That’s the practice. Honoring where you are, staying in touch, and leaning into whatever season you’re in.You’re invited to Return to Yourself, a one-year membership community for people who want to practice this work with others who get it. Mind-body connection, Human Design, and self-leadership all woven together to support you on your journey.

Have you ever watched circumstances shift around you in ways that felt like too much of a coincidence?That’s what this episode is about.In this Summer of the Self episode, I’m sharing what starts to happen when you do the inner work… when you slow down, stop pushing, and create enough spaciousness to actually observe what’s around you. That’s when spiritual signs and intuitive guidance begin to show up in ways you can’t ignore.I’m sharing one real story from earlier this year: being invited to support an event in the South of France, saying no because of family plans, and then watching my entire calendar rearrange itself without me doing anything. Friends rescheduling. My husband’s work moving. And then a special surprise from my sister.I wasn’t forcing any of it. I was just watching.This episode is an invitation to ask: how much spaciousness do you have in your life right now to observe what’s coming through?Resources and Next Steps:Read Mind Body Connection Unlocked Simple Mind-Body Techniques to Rewire Your Mind, Deepen Your Self-Connection, and Gently Transform the Way You LiveSummer of the Self Series Kickoff EpisodeListen to Ep 48 and the Decision Making Series to learn more about your unique decision making styleFind Mary Here:Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mary-clavieres-19917a7/Instagram: www.instagram.com/mary.clavieresVoxer: @ maryclavieresThanks for being here!

Are you ending your days dropping into bed completely spent or do you feel reasonably good about how you showed up?That gap tells you a lot about your energy management.In this episode of the Summer of the Self series, we’re talking about energy… what it means to pay attention to it, what happens when you ignore it, and a simple tool called energy dollars that gives you a practical way to audit how you’re using yours.The premise: you start each day with a certain number of energy dollars. Some activities spend them. Some give them back. Most of us have never looked at which is which and whether we’re consistently running in the negative.I’m sharing my own story from my corporate years when I was not paying attention to my energy at all… I just pushed through over and over.This week’s tool: take a look at what drains you, what fuels you, and how many of each you’re doing each day.Resources and Next Steps:Read Mind Body Connection Unlocked Simple Mind-Body Techniques to Rewire Your Mind, Deepen Your Self-Connection, and Gently Transform the Way You LiveListen to Ep 48 and the Decision Making Series to learn more about your unique decision making styleFind Mary Here:Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mary-clavieres-19917a7/Instagram: www.instagram.com/mary.clavieresVoxer: @ maryclavieresThanks for being here!

Do you ever notice the same emotion coming up again and again? Frustration at the same time every day, resentment in the same situations, or anger that keeps returning?That emotion is trying to tell you something.In this episode of the Summer of the Self series, we’re looking at emotions as messengers… not something to suppress or react to, but signals to get curious about. What’s underneath the emotion? How are you not being resourced enough right now? And how might you be playing a role in the story?I’m sharing a real example from my own home plus an introduction to Dahn Jon tapping. This is a practice for releasing emotions that are stored in your body, rooted in the “water up, fire down” concept. I use it regularly myself and share it with clients all the time.Your invitation this week: when an emotion keeps showing up, get curious instead of reactive.Mentioned in this Episode:Dahn Jon Tapping Resources and Next Steps:Read Mind Body Connection Unlocked Simple Mind-Body Techniques to Rewire Your Mind, Deepen Your Self-Connection, and Gently Transform the Way You LiveListen to Ep 48 and the Decision Making Series to learn more about your unique decision making styleFind Mary Here:Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mary-clavieres-19917a7/Instagram: www.instagram.com/mary.clavieresVoxer: @ maryclavieresThanks for being here!

Have you ever gone from feeling fine to completely burned out and not seen it coming?That’s what happens when we skip the yellow light.In this episode of the Summer of the Self series, we’re talking about trusting your body… how to read its signals before things reach red alert, and what to do when you’ve been running on noise for so long you can’t hear yourself anymore.I’m sharing three simple tools: the traffic light check-in, box breathing as the fastest free way to settle your nervous system and a body scan practice to start actually listening to what your body is telling you.Plus a real example from my own life of what happens when you have too many things on and don’t catch yourself in time.This week’s invitation: how good are you at trusting your body right now?Resources and Next Steps:Read Mind Body Connection Unlocked Simple Mind-Body Techniques to Rewire Your Mind, Deepen Your Self-Connection, and Gently Transform the Way You LiveListen to Ep 48 and the Decision Making Series to learn more about your unique decision making styleFind Mary Here:Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mary-clavieres-19917a7/Instagram: www.instagram.com/mary.clavieresVoxer: @ maryclavieresThanks for being here!

Do you have a “not good enough” voice? Most of us do and most of us spend a lot more time listening to it than questioning it.In this episode of the Summer of the Self series, we’re looking at one of the most common ways the mind keeps us stuck: the story of not good enough. Where it came from, why it isn’t the whole truth, and what to do when you catch yourself in it.I’m sharing a simple tool called The Truth Is, a journaling and reflection activity that invites you to look at the other side of the story. Not to ignore the negative, but to build the habit of also seeing what’s actually true about you and what you’ve already accomplished.Because most of us are much better at noticing what we haven’t done than celebrating what we have and that imbalance is worth looking at.This week’s invitation: name your story, then ask yourself… what is another truth?Resources and Next Steps:Read Mind Body Connection Unlocked Simple Mind-Body Techniques to Rewire Your Mind, Deepen Your Self-Connection, and Gently Transform the Way You LiveListen to Ep 48 and the Decision Making Series to learn more about your unique decision making styleFind Mary Here:Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mary-clavieres-19917a7/Instagram: www.instagram.com/mary.clavieresVoxer: @ maryclavieresThanks for being here!

Mother. Leader. Partner. Colleague. Caregiver. Friend.How many roles are you playing right now and when did you last check in on the person underneath all of them?In this episode of the Summer of the Self series, we’re exploring one of the biggest questions in any personal growth journey: who am I really?It’s easy to lose yourself in the roles you play. The identity of parent, the identity of leader, the identity of whatever role has felt most important lately and then one day you look up and ask: is this the life I really planned? Is this what I actually want?I’m sharing how conditioning shapes the roles we develop, why it’s so easy to mistake a role for your whole identity (especially as a parent), and two simple tools for self discovery.Plus this week’s reflection prompts:What are the roles you play in your life?Who are you separate from these roles?Resources and Next Steps:Read Mind Body Connection Unlocked Simple Mind-Body Techniques to Rewire Your Mind, Deepen Your Self-Connection, and Gently Transform the Way You LiveListen to Ep 48 and the Decision Making Series to learn more about your unique decision making styleFind Mary Here:Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mary-clavieres-19917a7/Instagram: www.instagram.com/mary.clavieresVoxer: @ maryclavieresThanks for being here!

Have you ever stopped and asked yourself: is this actually me, or was I taught this?Most of what we believe about ourselves including what we deserve, how we’re supposed to act, what’s possible for us, etc…  didn’t come from us. It came from family, school, workplaces, society, and a thousand small moments where we absorbed other people’s expectations without realizing it.It’s called conditioning. And in this episode, the second in the Summer of the Self series, we’re looking at where it comes from and how to start spotting it in your own life.From money beliefs passed down from parents, to workplace rules about emotions, to the pervasive idea that taking time for yourself as a mother is selfish, conditioning is everywhere. The good news is that awareness is the first step to moving beyond it.This week’s reflection prompt: pick one belief you’ve been carrying for a long time and ask yourself… where did it actually come from?

Have you ever looked at your life and thought… this all looks great on paper, but something isn’t quite right?That feeling of having checked all the boxes, done all the things, and still feeling a disconnect inside is something a lot of us experience. We just don’t always have the words for it. And we usually don’t know how to handle it either.This episode kicks off the Summer of the Self.A new series of short, reflective episodes designed to help you come back to you. In this first episode I’m sharing two stories from my own life where I found myself exactly here along with a reflection prompt to ge you started on the next step of your journey.Resources and Next Steps:Not sure what your decision-making style is?Get your free Human Design chart in 2 minutes. https://www.maryclavieres.com/getyourchartReady to stop second-guessing yourself?Book a Decision Making Accelerator session and we’ll dive into YOUR specific style, with practical next steps you can use immediately.https://www.maryclavieres.com/decision-making-acceleratorFind Mary Here:Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mary-clavieres-19917a7/Instagram: www.instagram.com/mary.clavieresVoxer: @ maryclavieresAdditional Resources:Mind Body Connection Unlocked (Book) Listen to Ep 48 and the Decision Making Series to learn more about your unique decision making styleThanks for being here!

Why does one child wake up ready to go while the other needs the whole morning to ease in? Why does your partner have already run three errands before you’ve finished your first cup of tea?It might not be personality. It might be your energy type.In this episode I’m talking about family dynamics through the lens of Human Design energy types and what changes when you stop expecting everyone in your household to operate the same way you do.I’m sharing real examples from my own family of four (two energy types, four very different Saturday mornings), including what it looks like to have one sacral-defined child and one non-sacral child, and why understanding that difference has changed how we plan vacations, weekends, and pretty much everything else.If you’ve ever felt frustrated that someone in your house doesn’t operate on your schedule — or that you’re always the one who needs more rest — this episode will give you a new way to look at it.Resources and Next Steps:Not sure what your decision-making style is?Get your free Human Design chart in 2 minutes. https://www.maryclavieres.com/getyourchartReady to stop second-guessing yourself?Book a Decision Making Accelerator session and we’ll dive into YOUR specific style, with practical next steps you can use immediately.https://www.maryclavieres.com/decision-making-acceleratorFind Mary Here:Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mary-clavieres-19917a7/Instagram: www.instagram.com/mary.clavieresVoxer: @ maryclavieres

Have you ever had something happen that felt like too much of a coincidence to be a coincidence?This episode is a little different. I’m sharing the side of mind-body connection work that doesn’t always get talked about… what happens when you go deeper. When you start noticing synchronicities. When your intuition gets louder. When you feel, maybe for the first time, like you’re part of something bigger.I’m sharing personal stories… hearing voices in the night that turned out to be no one, seeing my grandfather’s ghost as a teenager, a trip to the south of France that left me completely changed, and what all of it has taught me about the connection between the physical world and the energetic one.We are layered, complex beings.

Ever wonder what a real Human Design reading looks like?This episode is something I’ve never done before on the show… a live Human Design reading with my friend and book editor, Chelsea Lauren.Chelsea is a first-time mom, self-publishing guide, and someone who’s been deconditioning from years of morphing into whoever she thought people wanted her to be. We’re diving into her chart to talk about what it means to be a projector (the lighthouse energy that’s always scanning and taking in information), why she’s heard “I don’t need a solution, I just want to vent” so many times, and how rest isn’t giving up control… it’s trusting.This conversation is for anyone who’s ever wondered: Is there a reason I operate this way? Why do I feel bitter when people don’t see me? Why do I need alone time AND people?Even if you’re not a projector, you’ll see how Human Design helps you understand your energy patterns instead of fighting them.Resources and Next Steps:Not sure what your decision-making style is?Get your free Human Design chart in 2 minutes. https://www.maryclavieres.com/getyourchartReady to stop second-guessing yourself?Book a Decision Making Accelerator session and we’ll dive into YOUR specific style, with practical next steps you can use immediately.https://www.maryclavieres.com/decision-making-acceleratorFind Chelsea Here:https://representpublishing.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/representpublishingFind Mary Here:Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mary-clavieres-19917a7/Instagram: www.instagram.com/mary.clavieresVoxer: @ maryclavieresAdditional Resources:Mind Body Connection Unlocked (Book) Listen to Ep 48 and the Decision Making Series to learn more about your unique decision making styleThanks for being here!

Ever catch yourself feeling guilty for resting? For saying no? For wanting more?Guilt keeps us small. It keeps us hiding in old versions of ourselves instead of expanding into who we’re meant to be.In this episode, I’m sharing how to stop feeling guilty and start giving yourself permission to live fully. We’ll talk about where guilt shows up (productivity, mom guilt, putting yourself first, etc), how to release it through forgiveness, and why you need to hand yourself a permission slip for the things you really want.I’m also sharing my own story about building a new community and the guilt and permission work I had to do to get out of my own way.If you’ve been holding back on something you really want, this one’s for you.Resources and Next Steps:Not sure what your decision-making style is?Get your free Human Design chart in 2 minutes. https://www.maryclavieres.com/getyourchartReady to stop second-guessing yourself?Book a Decision Making Accelerator session and we’ll dive into YOUR specific style, with practical next steps you can use immediately.https://www.maryclavieres.com/decision-making-acceleratorFind Mary Here:Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mary-clavieres-19917a7/Instagram: www.instagram.com/mary.clavieresVoxer: @ maryclavieresAdditional Resources:Mind Body Connection Unlocked (Book) Listen to Ep 48 and the Decision Making Series to learn more about your unique decision making styleThanks for being here!

Do you ever shut yourself down before you even try? Tell yourself “I can’t do that” or “I don’t know how” and just stop? If so, then this episode is for you.Today we’re diving into how to shift from “I can’t” to “What if?” by developing a curious mindset. I share a real client story about career transitions, my own product business launch, and simple reframes you can use today.If you’ve been overthinking, stuck in doubt, or telling yourself stories about why you can’t, this episode is your invitation to get curious instead.Resources and Next Steps:Not sure what your decision-making style is?Get your free Human Design chart in 2 minutes. https://www.maryclavieres.com/getyourchartReady to stop second-guessing yourself?Book a Decision Making Accelerator session and we’ll dive into YOUR specific style, with practical next steps you can use immediately.https://www.maryclavieres.com/decision-making-acceleratorFind Mary Here:Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mary-clavieres-19917a7/Instagram: www.instagram.com/mary.clavieresVoxer: @ maryclavieresAdditional Resources:Mind Body Connection Unlocked (Book) Listen to Ep 48 and the Decision Making Series to learn more about your unique decision making styleThanks for being here!

Have you ever zoned out in a meeting and realized you have no idea what anyone just said? Or feel like you’re running on autopilot from the moment you wake up until you collapse at night?My first guest on the show, meditation teacher Elizabeth Guilbeault, gets it. Even after 20+ years of practice, she still goes unconscious sometimes. The difference is, she knows simple ways to bring herself back.In this conversation, Elizabeth shares the exact practices she uses when life gets busy: the grounding cord (takes 30 seconds, works anywhere), 4-4-4 breathing (even if you’re skeptical), and how to link these to things you already do so you actually remember to practice.If you’re tired of feeling scattered, disconnected from yourself, or like you’re just going through the motions, this episode gives you simple, practical tools to come back to the present in clear, simple ways.Find Elizabeth here:Website: www.everydayenergywithelizabeth.com  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizabeth-guilbeault-3b16942/  Find Mary Here:Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mary-clavieres-19917a7/Instagram: www.instagram.com/mary.clavieresVoxer: @ maryclavieresAdditional Resources:Mind Body Connection Unlocked (Book) Listen to Ep 48 and the Decision Making Series to learn more about your unique decision making styleThanks for being here!

Most of us don’t listen to our bodies until they’re screaming at us. In this episode, I’m sharing simple shifts you can make to tune in more deeply… whether you’re brand new to body awareness or ready to go deeper.You’ll learn three levels of body awareness: daily check-ins for beginners, emotion tracking for intermediate practitioners, and energy body work for advanced exploration. I share personal stories including my teeth-grinding wake-up call and how I teach my daughters to protect their energy in crowded spaces.If you’ve been living in your head and ignoring what your body’s been trying to tell you, this episode is your invitation to start listening.Resources Mentioned:Mind Body Connection Unlocked (Book) - Part 4 dedicated to body awarenessListen to Ep 48 and the Decision Making Series to learn more about your unique decision making styleAdditional Resources and Next Steps:Not sure what your decision-making style is?
