Ep 153: Problem Solving

Bloom Your Mind ·

2025/11/21

This week, we’re getting practical. In Episode 153: Problem Solving, I walk you through a real-life example of using multiple tools I’ve taught before on the podcast—and show you exactly how to apply them when life throws you a curveball. Here’s the setup: I’m hosting a three-day Lovefest in the desert for 80 people—an outdoor celebration that’s been months in the making. And three days before it begins, the forecast calls for…rain. Buckets of it. No indoor venues, no easy backup plan, and a ...

Ep 152: Intentional Evidence Collection

Bloom Your Mind ·

2025/11/14

Every big change, project, or dream starts the same way: with a glimmer of possibility. A spark. A flicker. A tiny inner knowing that says, Maybe this could be real. But the second that glimmer appears, our automatic brain jumps in to challenge it. It points out everything that could go wrong. It shows us all the gaps between where we are and where we want to be. It offers scarcity thinking, worst-case scenarios, and doubt — not because we’re broken or unmotivated, but because our brain...

Ep 151: Teaching People How to Treat Us

Bloom Your Mind ·

2025/11/07

In this episode, we talk about the powerful truth that we are constantly training people how to treat us. Not through lectures. Not through convincing or explaining. But through the boundaries we set, the behaviors we allow, and the way we show up in our own lives. Often, the patterns we feel frustrated by — being the go-to problem solver, the emotional container for everyone else, or the one who says yes more than we want — aren’t “just how things are.” They’re patterns we’ve participated in...

Ep 150: Being Original

Bloom Your Mind ·

2025/10/31

Individuality is one of the greatest freedoms of our culture—and also one of its biggest traps. The beauty of individuality is that it allows us to hear our own desires, define our own values, and express our unique contribution to the world. It fuels creativity, innovation, and self-discovery. But when the desire to be original stops us from taking action, it becomes an Achilles’ heel. In this episode, we talk about the tension between wanting to be original and wanting to be effective—and w...

Ep 149: Failure Tolerance

Bloom Your Mind ·

2025/10/24

Most of us were taught that failure is bad. That if we fall short, it means something about who we are—our worth, our capability, our potential. But what if failure isn’t a problem at all? What if it’s the path to everything we want? In this episode, we unpack what I call failure tolerance—the skill of building your capacity to try, fall short, feel the feelings that come with it, and keep going anyway. Because here’s the truth: when we avoid failure, we actually fail on purpose. We choose in...

Ep 148: Chrononormativity

Bloom Your Mind ·

2025/10/17

So many of my students reach a point in life where they’ve checked all the boxes: career, marriage, kids, home, stability. They’ve climbed every rung of the ladder they were told to climb. And then one day, they look up and think—now what? In this episode, we explore that moment of disorientation that comes after meeting all of life’s early milestones. You’ll hear why so many of us feel stuck once the path runs out, and how we can begin to build our own ladders, guided by passion, purpose, an...

Ep 147: Power Over, Power Under, and Power With

Bloom Your Mind ·

2025/10/10

This week’s episode dives into something we all experience but rarely talk about— embracing all of our weird social reactions. The feelings that rise up when we’re around other people: self-doubt, comparison, superiority, inferiority, grasping, withdrawing, fixing, or trying to prove ourselves. The idea for this episode came to me at a women’s retreat I attended with my daughter, led by facilitator Katie Dove, whose words always stop me in my tracks. Her insights about power dynamics and emot...

Ep 146: Saying No to Say Yes

Bloom Your Mind ·

2025/10/03

The more we put ourselves out into the world, the more people come to know us by the value we add—and the more they begin to depend on us. This is beautiful…until it isn’t. Because over time, the value we add and the strengths we command become commodities people want more and more of. Eventually, we’re faced with a flood of requests: friends needing support, family projects that need a helpful hand, community support requests, work opportunities, and so much more. For many of us, our hearts ...

Ep 145: Thought Bridges

Bloom Your Mind ·

2025/09/26

Last week, I hit pause. A middle-of-the-night migraine, a body that said “nope,” and—after three straight years of weekly episodes—I let myself skip a week. Not because I didn’t care, but because I chose health over hustle for this week. That tiny, honest shift is exactly what today’s episode is about: thought bridges—the believable steps that carry us from an old, harmful loop to a new, supportive one. If you haven’t listened to Episode 144: Regenerative Thought Cycles, start there. Awarenes...

Ep 144: Regenerative Thinking

Bloom Your Mind ·

2025/09/12

In this episode of the Bloom Your Mind Podcast, we unpack the cycles of thought that either move us toward the life we want—or pull us away from it. Just like a garden, our minds are always growing something. Some thoughts regenerate possibility and growth. Others are degenerative—reinforcing old, unhelpful beliefs and keeping us stuck. Today we’ll break down how that happens, how to recognize it, and most importantly, how to change it. What you’ll learn in this episode: How regen...

Ep 143: Transitions

Bloom Your Mind ·

2025/09/05

Seasons change, and so do we. Sometimes we’ve literally got one foot in the next season, as we change from spring to summer, summer to fall. Other times we’re transition a personal season of life, from one era of ourselves to another. This episode is guides you through a process for transitions. A way to pause, witness what’s good in your life, in your world and in yourself, and design how you want to move into what’s next with intention. You’ll learn a simple three-step practice to celebrate...

Conflict isn’t a detour. It’s the road itself. And if you’re out there making ideas real, you’re going to hit it—whether you like it or not. This week on the Bloom Your Mind Podcast, we’re wrapping up our 3-part conflict resolution series with a quick-and-dirty cheat sheet.

Ep 141: Solving People Problems

Bloom Your Mind ·

2025/08/22

Ever notice how much easier it is to point at a person and say, “YOU are the problem”? Yeah, me too. But here’s the truth: people aren’t the problem—problems are the problem. And when we stop confusing the two, everything gets lighter, easier, and way more solvable. In this episode of the Bloom Your Mind Podcast, we’re going one layer deeper into conflict resolution and flipping the script: instead of making the person the issue, we learn how to sit shoulder-to-shoulder and face the actual is...

Ep 140: Resolving Conflict

Bloom Your Mind ·

2025/08/15

We are all changing. Sometimes we’re doing it on purpose- setting goals that require us to think and feel and act differently, goals that require us to evolve and grow. Sometimes we’re changing in reaction to the world and the people around us. The one thing we know for sure is that change is constant… and sometimes really hard. With change often comes conflict; with ourselves and with others. Since change is guaranteed, and conflict will come with it; why not get really good at navigating ou...

Ep 139: Finding your Moxie

Bloom Your Mind ·

2025/08/08

With a cup of melted ice cream in my hand, I waited for a group of kids to explore a book store, staring in the window at the best sellers. That was the day I found an author whose prose gave me a week of both mind-swooning entertainment and a jolting moment of reflection. She wrote about giving our time and energy to things that fill us with passion and motivation. That fill our minds the moment we open our eyes in the morning, and fill our souls with purpose and life. Everything...

Have you ever outgrown a version of yourself— and gotten stuck in that awkward liminal space between one identity and another? In this episode of the Bloom Your Mind Podcast, I’m taking you on a wild ride that starts with a free-range hermit crab named Hermie (yes, really) and ends with a three step reflection to help you identify where you are in your identity shift. We’ll explore what it feels like to be in the awkward, raw, beautiful space between who you were and who you’re becoming...

It’s not the big leaps that get you there—it’s the tiny, consistent steps that make your vision real. In this episode, Marie shares how the most successful creators, entrepreneurs, and change-makers all play the game of inches. Hear stories from the creation of the Bloom Room, from a client starting their first brick and mortar business, and from the world of parenting that show just how the game of inches is so much more effective than the goal of taking big leaps.

Ep 136: The Yes Trip

2025/07/18

This episode is the joyful, slightly reckless little sister to episode 72, “The Freedom of a Hard No.” Because once we get clear on what doesn’t serve us…we open up all kinds of space in our brain, our schedule, and our sense of safety for possibilities and new ideas that can expand our life. This past month I had a series of invitations from folks I didn’t know that well to visit them in different states. Before I knew it, those invitations had strung themselves together into a necklac...

I was with a group of friends, when one of them approached me and said “Your daughter just said something that blew my mind. She said that you told her that when she has a crush on someone, it’s just for her.” “Yes,” I said, “I sure did tell her that- don’t you agree?” “Well I’ve never thought of it like this. She said that you told her that she can just have the feeling of a crush on someone, and she doesn’t have to tell the person, because it’s actually none of their business! And tha...

Ep 134: Blood Sugar Magic

Bloom Your Mind ·

2025/07/04

After six months of an injury that was dramatically lowering the quality of my life, I gave up on doctors as the solution to my problem, and took matters into my own hands. I started on a deep dive of research and exploration into blood sugar and inflammation, energy levels and functional movement. I read books, did interviews, and took courses with experts. I wore continuous glucose monitors and started tracking my sleep cycles. The things that I learned from this deep dive into ...
