Sum of Ages
26 years of life, and CHANGE, with Mary.
This week’s guest is Mary, a 26-year-old from the USA whose story is a powerful testament to the life-changing impact of slowing down and reevaluating what truly matters. From growing up in Chicago to studying in San Diego and then working in the fast-paced world of New York City, Mary believed she was following the path she had always envisioned. But beneath the surface, her mental health was unraveling—crippling anxiety, exhaustion, and deep depression eventually led her to a breaking point.
Mary’s turning point came when she stripped life down to its essentials—letting go of relentless pressure, seeking treatment, and rediscovering her own sense of purpose. This conversation is about change—not just as something we go through, but as something that can save us. Let’s dive in.
