But beneath the laughter, she realized she was still surviving, not healing.\nIn this episode of The Work of Warriors, Kim Rapach sits down with Mary for an honest conversation about trauma, addiction, abuse, burnout, self-worth, and the courageous decision to stop merely surviving and start truly living.\nMary shares how the stillness of the pandemic became an unexpected turning point, forcing her to confront years of unresolved pain and recognize that success, comedy, and staying busy could never heal what she hadn't faced. Through nervous system healing, radical self-care, healthy boundaries, and learning to love herself, she discovered a new way to live rooted in purpose instead of survival.In this conversation, you'll learn why surviving isn't the same as healing, how unresolved trauma can shape identity, why so many high performers tie their worth to achievement, and how intentional self-care can become the foundation for lasting emotional freedom. Kim and Mary also discuss nervous system healing, recovery, purpose, boundaries, and the daily practices that help people move from simply getting through life to genuinely enjoying it.\nWhether you're an artist, entrepreneur, leader, or someone navigating your own healing journey, this episode is a reminder that your past doesn't have to define your future and that it's never too late to choose yourself.\nThe Work of Warriors is the podcast where artists, creatives, entrepreneurs, and high performers learn how to succeed without sacrificing their mental wellness.\nBecause success shouldn't cost you your peace.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/u2irqh0xB3CkjycL5-ffdyf-0iwLfeztiWjzaYXeIIg/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8wYTkw/ZmVlMzk0YzE2YmEz/YzcxZDAyZDE3NzU2/ODQwNC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
