069—This episode revisits the subject of gratitude. Originally released on Thanksgiving Day in 2021, Mary updates listeners on her perspective on gratitude and why it's so important to our health, relationships, and how we feel daily. She reminds us that gratitude is not just about appreciation; it's the choice to see the gift in all things. Carrying this perspective can change how you experience even the most unwanted circumstances, a message that can benefit us all year long.

065—This is a re-release of an episode from 2020 whose subject is as relevant today as ever. Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you know what you want and what you need to do, but you struggle to do it? It can be stuck in a job you don't enjoy, but you stay anyway. It can be finding yourself in a relationship you know you shouldn't be in, but you don't make a change. It can be majoring in something in college because it's what you think your parents want you to do, rather than pursuing what you truly love. It's pretending to be someone you think society wants you to be, but you know it's not who you really are.
Honoring and being who you truly are is the only path to peace.
Listen to this episode. There's a message in it for everyone.

061—Sometimes, we don’t feel the way we want. It can be something that’s going on at school or work, with friends or at home. There’s nothing worse than feeling off. Our energy is low, and it can feel like we’re stuck; like we can’t do much about it.
In this episode, Mary shares what she wishes she knew then: her advice for the younger generation—a proven method for feeling better. It’s straightforward, and you can do it yourself at any time. Feeling good is in your control. No waiting, no wondering. And it works. And the best thing is that feeling good in a moment can affect how you feel all the time.
Listen and share this episode with someone you think can benefit from it so they can feel good, too!

057—We are all natural-born storytellers. Whether or not we realize it, we craft the story of our lives, piecing our experiences into a coherent storyline. We carry these stories with us, and they become so much a part of our lives that we start to identify ourselves with them—the good ones and the not-so-good ones, alike.
But here’s the little-known secret: our stories aren’t always accurate.
Listen to Mary as she shares the role stories play and the power of a rewritten story to create profound shifts in our lives.

056—Our lives are supposed to be joyful, flowing smoothly as we appreciate each moment for what it is. No expectations, no analyzing, just being with it. We see things. We hear things. We do things. We move effortlessly through things. Life’s a gift.

Have you ever had a day going well, but something just set you off? Have you felt hurt by something someone did or said, and the feeling felt familiar? Have you felt undeserving, not smart enough, or disconnected from others?
In this episode, Mary helps us understand what is going on, so we can live our lives with the joy and peace we desire.

And even more, how do we get out of them so we can feel good again?

Listen to Mary as she shares the signs of being out of alignment, how we likely got there, and how to find our way back in.

045—When’s the last time you’ve had an encounter with a random act of kindness? Maybe you were the giver, perhaps the receiver, or perhaps an observer. No matter which one, it’s pretty nice, isn’t it!?
Kindness is unique because it’s an ACT. It’s not a thought or an emotion. It requires action. And everyone involved benefits.
This episode is about the extraordinary gift of kindness. Listen as Mary shares stories of kindness and introduces One Act of Kindness, as she challenges everyone to perform just one act to a complete stranger in the hopes it sets in motion a wave of human kindness.

041—Did you know that fear is connected to every negative emotion? Anger, frustration, worry, jealousy, insecurity… the list goes on.
There are two pieces of good news here. First, if you can let go of the fear, you can let go of negative emotions. Second, fear is a creation of the mind. And YOU have full control of your mind, which means you have complete control of fear.
Take a listen to this episode. And say goodbye to fear forever.

040—Is there something that you keep bumping up against in your life? Maybe it's an inability to reach your goal weight or to find the relationship of your dreams. Perhaps it's a fear of flying or the anxiety you feel when in a big crowd. Maybe the type of success you've always wanted has continued to elude you. Why does this happen? Even more, how can you break the cycle?
Listen to Mary’s conversation with hypnotherapist Kannary Keo. This episode offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of hypnotherapy and the benefits of tapping into the subconscious mind. Kannary’s life story also illustrates how our experiences have a way of leading us to our work, the way we uniquely contribute to the world.

039—Why is it that we can want something so badly but not get it? Why do things come more easily for some than others? Is this a matter of luck or something else?
There IS a reason, and understanding it can change your life.
The things we want—a more comfortable lifestyle, love, health, connection, peace, financial stability, joy, answers—are ours for the taking IF we create a path—the path of least resistance.
RESISTANCE is what stands in the way of everything we want, and the forms it comes in may surprise you.
Learn what resistance looks like so you can remove the obstacles that stand in the way of everything you want.
It may be simpler than you think.

Listen as Mary re-releases an interview from 2020 with a dear college friend, Mary Dungan Caprio, who shares how her cancer diagnosis and finding her light helped her find the fulfillment she had wanted her whole life: the ability to connect with those she loves without expectation, only to share love, happiness, joy, and laughter.
Mary Caprio lost her fight with cancer just weeks ago. In an updated introduction and closing message, Mary pays tribute to her friend and shares the lessons she left us about love and life.

Listen to Mary as she gives us a whole new way to understand what's going on and what we are to do when we find ourselves there. A time when we are feeling impatient may be an invitation guiding us to something more.

028—What if you had a Magic List of the specific foods, obscure ingredients, and products that your body does not like?
Do you have chronic stomach issues? Fatigue? Joint pain? Have you gone from one doctor to the next, test after test, without any answers? This can be frustrating and discouraging.
Sometimes, this can result from your body's reaction to what you are eating and the products you are using, but where to begin? Do you eliminate everything? How long will this take to get to the answers?
Listen as Mary shares how she was able to pinpoint the specific foods and ingredients that were contributing to her son's health issues, like a Magic List. Eliminating these items has changed his life. Each person has their own list; it's unique to each one of us. If you or someone you know is struggling to feel better, this may just help.

023—After a tragic accident that would take the life of her 11-year-old daughter and leave her 9-year-old son fighting for his life, Terece Horton returns to the Shine podcast to discuss the debut of her memoir, "Rebecca's Gift."
A few years after the fateful accident, Terece started writing to capture all the signs, symbols, and messages that continued to guide her toward her healing. The beginning of this book would sit in a box, unopened for over 20 years. In this interview, Terece shares the unexpected motivation she received to finish and share her story. And, so she did.
Rebecca's Gift is a story of a mother's love for her lost daughter, her devotion to her son, and her process of healing. But even more, the story delivers the beautiful, hopeful, message we all must learn: after loss, love goes on. And with that knowledge, we are compelled to go on, too.

022—You are MEANT to have full joy, complete fulfillment, pure love and peace. This is your destiny! But we don’t always have it. And not having it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re ungrateful for what you do have, it’s just the acknowledgment that there’s something you’d love in your life that doesn’t currently exist.
Maybe it’s feeling more joyful. Maybe what you are doing isn’t as fulfilling as it used to be. Maybe you’ve dreamed of doing something you haven’t yet done. Mary shares 5 things that often keep us from getting what we want so they no longer stand in your way. Take a listen so the change you want and are meant to have in your life can make its way into your life.

015—Sometimes, with everything that is going on, it’s hard to remember that we are all connected. Sometimes it doesn’t feel like it. Sometimes, we can forget.
The law of “cause and effect” is immutable; we live amidst this law every day, and in every moment. Sometimes this law manifests more obviously, but the ones that are less apparent are often the most powerful.
Listen to Mary as she shares how our thoughts, our words and our actions—what we put out in the world—affect those around us, in profound and often unexpected ways, and invites a guest who shares how her 11-year-old son reminded her of this truth.
A thought-provoking and uplifting episode.

It can be majoring in something in college because it's what you think your parents want you to do, rather than pursuing what you truly love. It's pretending to be someone you think society wants you to be, but you know it's not who you really are.
Honoring and being who you truly are is the only path to peace.
Listen to this episode. There's a message in it for everyone.

012—Our minds are so busy, evaluating, deciding, planning, worrying. A busy mind can make it really hard to notice all the good that is right in front of you… and most of all, to hear that inner voice that is always there to serve you, that is there to guide you to your true self.
Listen as Mary shares how she quieted her busy mind, and how it led to an unfolding of a new path, a recognition of purpose, and life. And how anyone can do it.

"I am responsible. Although I may not be able to prevent the worst from happening, I am responsible for my attitude toward the inevitable misfortunes that darken life. Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift of all—life itself."If you want to share your story, learn more about Mary or contact her, visit:
