Fearless With Mary

Mary Tibbetts

Fearless with Mary Hosted by Mary Tibbetts, MS warrior, holistic wellness coach, speaker, YouTuber and truth-teller—Fearless with Mary is a podcast for women living with multiple sclerosis, autoimmune conditions, and chronic illness who are done with sugarcoated wellness advice. This show is about what it really means to take care of yourself—body, mindset, energy, and spirit—while navigating unpredictable health, identity shifts, and the chaos of being human. I’ve lived through the fatigue, fear, and uncertainty of life with MS. What changed everything was learning to take radical responsibility for my healing—physically, mentally, emotionally. Now, I help others do the same. This podcast is your space for unfiltered conversations about self-healing, nervous system regulation, mindset work, boundaries, grief, resilience, and living in alignment with your truth. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or deep into your journey, you’ll find grounded wisdom, practical strategies, and the support you didn’t know you needed. If you’re craving a space that gets it—where realness meets humor, and healing doesn’t mean perfection—you’re in the right place. Let’s redefine what it means to thrive, on your terms.

    What is Life Currency?

    Send us a text In this episode of Fearless with Mary, I sit down with Stacey Vanthuyne to dive into the six pillars of life that lead to emotional freedom and fulfillment: relationships, spirituality, money, lifestyle, health, and identity. Stacey shares her personal experiences with burnout and what it really takes to move from exhaustion to empowerment. Together, we explore the importance of setting boundaries, practicing self-care, and shifting your mindset when ego and self-worth get in the way.  What You’ll Learn in This Episode: The six pillars of life that create emotional freedom Why burnout happens when we prioritize others’ opinions over our own needs How small, consistent changes create lasting growth The power of self-awareness and habit change Practical strategies to strengthen self-care and boundaries How ego and self-worth issues can block personal development The role of gratitude, affirmations, and mindset in creating change Why community support is essential for resilience and growth The importance of delayed gratification in achieving long-term goals  Key Takeaways: You have to level up your identity. “I thought I was lazy.” “We are good. We are whole.” Life has different chapters, and burnout doesn’t have to define yours. This conversation is filled with practical strategies and empowering insights to help you take responsibility for your happiness, strengthen your mindset, and build a life that fuels you instead of drains you. If you’ve ever felt stuck in burnout or disconnected from yourself, this episode will remind you that change is possible — one choice at a time. 🔔 Don’t forget to subscribe for more conversations on resilience, wellness, and fearless living.
