    239: When Cranky Creates Connection
    2025/04/24
    Ever find yourself walking into a new conversation still carrying the emotional weight of the last one? That happened to me recently, and I could feel my tone and volume were just a little… off. It wasn’t anyone else’s fault, but I realized I was letting leftover crankiness affect how I showed up—and that simple awareness gave me the chance to pause, laugh, and reset in real time. On today’s Wise Walk, we’re talking about those all-too-human moments when irritability sneaks up on us, how to spot it before it spills onto others, and what it looks like to course-correct with grace. We’ll explore the difference between feeling your feelings and letting them run the show, how to own your energy without shame, and why asking “can we start again?” might be the most powerful phrase in your toolbox. Let’s slow down and get real about the beauty of self-awareness, the art of emotional clean-up, and the way honest resets can lead to deeper connection and understanding. Because being human isn’t about being perfect—it’s about showing up, reflecting, and trying again with love. When you find yourself feeling irritable, touchy, short-tempered, or cranky, can you catch yourself? Do you have enough self-awareness to say, okay, I’m not myself right now, I’m a little on edge? If you impact someone because you're off your game, can you make sure they know it’s your energy and not theirs that caused it? Can you own that crankiness and respect the space and moment you’re in? Can you accept your feelings, own your energy, and still care for the people around you in those moments? Have you ever walked into a new conversation feeling off or cranky and not showing up as your kind, genuine, caring self? Have you ever been a little abrasive, had more volume or tone than intended, and needed to reset with someone? Can you take a breath, ask to start again, and forgive yourself for not showing up as your best self in that moment? Can you acknowledge that one off moment doesn’t define who you are? Can you use those human moments as an opportunity to connect and share vulnerability with others? Do you have a pattern of sweeping things under the rug and letting it build up until it eventually spills out? Or are you practicing constant self-cleansing, dealing with your emotions moment by moment? Can you accept that emotions like crankiness or irritability often stem from something within you? Can you recognize that your reactions might be related to lack of sleep, stress, or emotional weight you're carrying? Can you be present with whatever is going on in your life and acknowledge it honestly? Can you find a way to clear the emotional build-up so you can move forward without tripping over it later? I’d love to hear how crankiness shows up in your life—and more importantly, how your self-awareness helps you move through it. I look forward to next Thursday for another Wise Walk. Until then, take good care of yourself. Keep reading the signs, directing your path, and getting your Stride On. In this episode: [05:07] The other day, I had a heated conversation and I was off my game. [06:06] I met up with some different friends and realized I had an edge to my voice when I was speaking to them. [07:02] I was carrying around the energy from the prior conversation, and I hadn't shaken it off yet. [11:13] A funny story about my mom disciplining her daughters, and my grandmother reminding her not to be quite so harsh. [12:57] How my mom created space for herself and had the self-awareness to know she could have done a little better. [14:08] Even if we're doing the best we can in the moment, we can still have the self-awareness to do better. [17:47] On a personal level, I have been going through it. Our family lost a dear loved one, and that was really hard. Also, my mom is going to have surgery on Wednesday because she fell and fractured a femur. [18:11] There's a lot of unexpected things entering my life. [19:03] I'm grateful for all of my self-awareness practices, so I can realize when I come across as cranky. Memorable Quotes: “We all have cranky moments in life. They are inevitable. The question is—can we own them?” - Mary Tess“When we sweep things under the rug, they don’t disappear. They pile up until they come flying out.” - Mary Tess“Self-awareness is a muscle. The more you use it, the stronger your relationships become.” - Mary Tess Links and Resources: Mary Tess Rooney Email Facebook | LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram Heart Value

    238: Phone a Friend
    2025/04/17
    Ever felt so overwhelmed that you knew you weren’t fully present, but didn’t know how to ask for help in the moment? That happened to me during an emotional week when my dog Trooper got seriously ill and in the middle of a conversation with the vet, I realized I just couldn’t take it all in alone. On today’s Wise Walk we’re talking about knowing when to pause, when to call in support, and how to give ourselves permission to not have all the answers. We’ll explore what it means to honor your limitations, why asking for help isn't a weakness, and how having a trusted sounding board can help you make better choices, especially in high-stakes or emotional moments. Let’s slow down and get real about the power of phoning a friend, tuning into your energy, and creating space for clarity. Because sometimes the strongest thing you can do is ask for support and trust that you're still the one in the driver's seat. Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you knew you needed help, whether because you were low on energy or out of your depth? Is there someone in your life who knows you well enough to support you, ask the right questions, and help you navigate your options? What are different choices you can make for yourself in order to create the space you need? Are you willing to ask someone to pause mid-sentence and let them know you're managing something and need a moment? Can you pull someone else into the conversation? Can you phone a friend? Can you have someone else join the meeting? Can you reschedule for a time when you’ve had more rest and can fully listen? If this idea turns you off, do you know why? Is there something about asking for help that creates a roadblock for you? Is there a situation in your life where you can relate to this and would consider calling someone next time? Can you look at opportunities in your life to ask for help or let a friend know you might call during an appointment? Can you also offer yourself as a phone-a-friend to someone else? Can you flip the script and say who you're available to support? Where in your life are you stuck? Are you afraid to make a decision because you don’t want to make the wrong one? Can you give yourself permission to make a wrong decision and trust you can make another? Can you say, here is what I learned, and use that experience to guide your next step? As you continue gathering good information and support, will you give yourself the freedom to keep making choices? Will you allow yourself the space to make as many decisions as needed until you feel aligned, resolved, or fulfilled? I hope you're feeling energized and uplifted as you move through your day. I'm so grateful we had this time to go on a wise walk together, and I’m already looking forward to connecting again next Thursday. In this episode: [02:39] I had a very difficult week last week. There were things that I wanted to be there for, but that doesn't mean they don't take a toll. [03:28] On top of feeling emotionally low, my dog Trooper got really sick. [05:12] When the vet was explaining all of the options, I knew I needed to phone a friend, because I needed someone to listen to this conversation in partnership with me. [06:45] My Aunt helped me process and make decisions. [07:39] I love that I was self-aware enough in that moment to realize my own limitations. [09:25] How many times do you feel overwhelmed and realize there's an opportunity to pause and get help? [11:45] The other opportunity where I employ this concept is when I'm going to doctor's appointments that I can get overwhelmed with. [12:38] Bringing different perspectives into a meeting together can give you really beautiful outputs. [15:06] I'm going to continue to look for opportunities to ask for help where I need it and invite others into the conversation. [16:44] When evaluating who you can reach out to when phoning a friend, make sure they have your best interest at heart. [18:17] I'm going to continue to make decisions that benefit me, Trooper, and our family. [19:54] Are you continually checking in with yourself and making sure that you're at your optimal state for making decisions? [20:24] Do you need to call and support if you're not in your optimal state for making decisions? Memorable Quotes: “I love that I was self-aware enough in that moment to realize my own limitations.” - Mary Tess“Sometimes the strongest thing you can do is ask for support and trust that you're still the one in the driver's seat” - Mary Tess“There are no final decisions. You're like, OK, I made this decision. It didn't work out. I'm going to make another decision.” - Mary Tess Links and Resources: Mary Tess Rooney Email Facebook | LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram Heart Value

    237: When Instinct Speaks, Listen
    2025/04/10
    Ever had a gut feeling that something wasn’t right, but you didn’t want to say anything because you didn’t want to rock the boat? That happened to me recently on a night out with friends and it reminded me how often we suppress our instincts to keep others comfortable. On today’s Wise Walk we’re listening to those inner nudges we so often push aside. We’ll talk about what it means to listen to your instincts, how societal norms can condition us to silence them and how honouring that voice inside can lead to more aligned, authentic choices. Let’s slow down and explore what it looks like to trust ourselves more – one step at a time. Have you found yourself in a pattern of suppressing your instincts for the sake of others? Are you aware when your instincts surface and how you typically respond to them? Do you fear your instincts because they might make someone else uncomfortable? When a feeling emerges, do you justify it or layer it with logic to avoid acting on it? Is suppressing your instincts serving you, or is it something you want to change? How can you bring more awareness to your instincts and choose which ones to honor? Which instincts feel aligned for you, and which ones feel safer to compartmentalize? Do you know the difference between what feels aligned and what just keeps the peace? Have you been in situations where your fight-or-flight response kicked in? Have you felt unheard or out of alignment, yet stayed quiet to avoid discomfort? Are you filtering your voice or emotions for the benefit of others? Is that practice truly aligned with you, or is it something you'd like to change? When can your instincts serve you—and maybe even benefit others by revealing deeper truths? Where in your life can you honor and thank your natural instincts for showing up? Are you clear on what your true instincts are, or have they been clouded by conditioning? Could you be mistaking thirst for hunger or ignoring cues your body is trying to give you? Where can you return to center, drop into your body, and really give it what it needs? How can you eliminate the noise and distractions to reconnect with your true instincts? As you move through your week, take a moment to reflect—and thank your instincts for showing up, protecting you, and guiding you toward what truly feels aligned. I’d love to hear what resonated with you from today’s episode, so don’t hesitate to share. And be sure to join me next Thursday for another Wise Walk Conversation. Until then, prioritize fun, honor those inner nudges, and get your stride on. In this episode: [02:45] An example of how I spoke up and didn't suppress my instincts in a kind way. [05:34] How one of my friends was embarrassed by me speaking up and having our needs met. [06:35] We often suppress the instinctual reactions that are good for us. [07:19] Another example from a friend of mine. Why can't we express our feelings? It doesn't have to be a hostile exchange. [10:38] I discuss our natural instincts like eating, drinking, and sleeping. [11:18] Humans have often been conditioned to suppress their instincts. [12:38] Societal creations or norms are what challenge instincts just like the sweetness of donuts as opposed to ripe fruit. [14:13] Interpreting cues from your own body and listening to your instincts. Be mindful of learned behaviors. [15:01] How children aren't inhibited. [16:15] How we may numb ourselves when we're disappointed for not speaking up. [18:08] It's okay not to speak up if you don't feel comfortable. It's important to be present and aware and notice what instincts are surfacing within you. Memorable Quotes: “Our instincts are still pure. What challenges that instinct is our societal creations or pressures or norms.” - Mary Tess“It’s okay to not speak up if you don’t feel comfortable yet. But the most important thing is to be present and aware and notice what instincts are surfacing in you.” - Mary Tess“As children, our instincts are pure and raw and real. Children have that beautiful quality of being just honest and direct.” - Mary Tess Links and Resources: Mary Tess Rooney Email Facebook | LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram Heart Value
