Marie: I mean for me, simply to amplify is like, I live my life by that and same thing, I have to remind myself of it often because ideas just… They’re like bunnies, popping out of my brain all the time. Only after I had made myself the sickest I’ve been for a very long time by trying to do too much… all while five months pregnant. You say, ask yourself, in any area of your life, is there a way I could get the desired result here with fewer action steps or fewer elements or in less time?

I remember a time when the Internet didn’t exist and for some of our viewers, that’s not their reality and for many of them, they also… They’re like, hey, I remember further back because we have such a nice diverse age range that watches the show and I do want to mention this for anyone who this is their first time being introduced to you and your work, this has been a real evolution for you. The timing couldn’t have been more perfect because as strange as it may sound, while parenting solo and working full time while also being a student to try to finish my undergraduate degree was a lot, and often incredibly stressful and lonely, I knew in my bones that there wasn’t enough of me to share with another and to have a healthy, meaningful relationship with both my daughter and a partner, no matter how much that person might have been able to lighten my load.Because we were taught how to get what we want by a patriarchal culture that always defaults to the lived experience of a man and the masculine way, though, the way of the egg has not been celebrated or taught.

Especially since there’s something about a book titled “Do Less” that doesn’t exactly inspire you to pick it up when you’re totally exhausted. I’ve become more aware of it in probably this time in my life than say earlier but I was like, if I don’t do everything in my career, if I don’t do everything as it relates to my relationship, if I’m not the one orchestrating my family, everything, it’s all just going to fall to pieces and I was doing that and I was diminishing everybody around me.It’s not about always receiving the help, it’s also about replenishing ourselves because there is this give and take and you will need and I will need and you will need and I will need and then the last thing is to ask for help kindly because when we ask early, before we need it, then we’re not in crisis. But first you have to get through chapters and chapters of nonsense about feminine energy, lunar cycles, menstrual cycles, etc. Kate, I’ve been following you for a while, and one of the first things I did was change the name on my bill folder to “Invoices for Blessings Already Received” – I love your vulnerability, your raw honesty, and your uplifting messages – they are so relevant to wives and mommies everywhere!
