Wa enjoying the content and felt like MaryAnn might be just the right fit for what I was looking for but hearing unedited episodes made my brain hurt and caused me to feel annoyed. By unedited I meaning posting the uncut retakes repeating the same sentence after a mistake over and over. I wish them all the best and understand we are all a work in progress. Hope to return to find this again once some more work into production has happened.
MaryAnn shares empathetic, understanding, spot-on insights + strategies that help me manage my anxiety. Sometimes I get hung up on a diagnosis and look to understand it the best I can, not realizing that what I usually need are techniques and reframing to help handle my symptoms. Maryann does an amazing job of creating a space that does exactly that. Thank you! :)
MaryAnn is a true gift and helped me understand how to heal my mind and thoughts that once felt too up in the sky. I have listened to her podcast for years now and have worked with her in coaching. I feel my heart shine with gratitude for her positive impact on my life.
I’m so pleased I found this show to add to my podcast queue. Thank you for inspiring me 🙌
I feel like these topics are so much more common than people like to admit, and MaryAnn is bravely talking about them - AND helping people through them. 100% recommend giving the show a listen!
