What if Your Soul Wants This Experience?

Your Future Self is Rooting for You

This episode started with a weird pain in my chest, a conversation with my mentor, and me saying, "Seriously? More grief?" It ended with me crying over a Pixar movie, writing a letter from my future self, and realizing something I think we all need to hear: The version of you who already has the thing you're dreaming about? They're rooting for you right now. In this episode, I'm sharing a very personal story about grief, hope, fertility, healing, and a journaling exercise that completely changed the way I look at my own journey. If you've ever felt tired of waiting, tired of growing, or tired of hearing that "it's about the journey," this one's for you. (And sorry in advance, there are multiple interruptions from my dogs. They're basically co-hosts at this point.) 🐶❤️ And shoutout to my mentor and dear friend Deanna Merlino.

You Don't Need More Advice. You Need More Self-Trust.

Have you ever wondered if the thing standing between you and what you want isn't a lack of confidence—but a lack of self-trust? In this episode, we're talking about worthiness, self-sabotage, trusting yourself, and why success doesn't have to be as hard as you've been taught it should be.

Are We Losing Our Ability to Be Curious?

What if the answer isn't being more right—but becoming more curious? In this episode, we're talking about nuance, compassion, self-awareness, and why understanding yourself might be the key to understanding everyone else.  I also think this episode is one of the rare times where a title phrased as a question could work really well: "Are We Losing Our Ability to Be Curious?"

The Real Reason You're Not Successful Yet

Why do so many of us feel stuck, even when we're trying everything? In this episode, I'm talking about perfectionism, chasing quick fixes, trusting yourself, and why success isn't about finding the perfect strategy—it's about learning what works for you and sticking with it long enough to grow. If you've been second-guessing yourself lately, this one's for you. 🎙️✨ Let's Connect!  To get more info and updates on the podcast find me on Instagram (or the gram as the kids say) @marycatemcdonald [https://www.instagram.com/marycatemcdonald/] Current Workshops: Human Design 101 Workshop [https://marycatemcdonald.myflodesk.com/hd101workshop] For 1:1 Coaching Options: 60 Minute Session [https://marycatemcdonald.myflodesk.com/90minutecoaching] 4 Session Package [https://marycatemcdonald.myflodesk.com/4sesioncoachingpackage] 3 Month Coaching [https://marycatemcdonald.myflodesk.com/3monthpackage] Sign up For My Weekly Newsletter here: https://marycatemcdonald.myflodesk.com/weeklynewsletter [https://marycatemcdonald.myflodesk.com/weeklynewsletter] Show Support:  If you're enjoying this episode, I would love it if you could please rate, review, and subscribe.
