Mary O'Malley on Embracing Inner Struggles and Finding Joy
There's a huge difference between being here for life and being in a conversation about life.
Ever felt like your inner battles are holding you back? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer sits down with Mary O'Malley, an author, teacher, and counselor renowned for her transformative approach to life's challenges. Mary brings a fresh perspective on how to embrace, rather than fight, our inner struggles. Her philosophy centers on the idea that true healing comes from curiosity and acceptance, not from trying to eliminate our fears and anxieties.
Throughout their conversation, Mary and Eric dive into concepts like the 'problem mind', the 'storyteller', and the 'four lets', offering practical insights on how to live more joyfully and mindfully. They also explore the significance of being present and recognizing when we're drifting away from that state. Whether you're dealing with compulsions or simply seeking a more joyful existence, Mary's wisdom offers a compassionate guide to awakening fully to life.
