    EP306: Making Space for Reinvention
    2026/08/06
    Sometimes you do not realize how much your life has changed until something makes you stop and look at it. New interests emerge. Our priorities change. Everyday experiences begin to feel natural even though they would have surprised an earlier version of us. A recent conversation with my sister gave me a chance to see my own transformation through her eyes. While she was excited about business meetings in Dallas, I was equally excited to spend the week harvesting green beans and learning canning. Her surprised laughter reminded me just how far my life has shifted from my years in New York City. Each of us has an opportunity to reflect on the many versions we've experienced during our lifetime and appreciate each one without feeling obligated to remain there. On our Wise Walk, I share how I am reinventing my approach to exercise as my body and responsibilities change, along with the patience required to grow into a new way of living. Together, let's consider the small steps that can help us move toward the person we are becoming. Reinvention takes time, honest adjustments, and plenty of grace for ourselves and for the people who may need a moment to catch up with who we are becoming. As you appreciate where you are today, can you look back and value the many different versions of yourself?How many times have you reinvented yourself throughout your life?Have you ever surprised someone you love because they still pictured an earlier version of you?Is there a new version of yourself calling you forward right now?Who can support and encourage you as you move into this next phase of your life?Can you make room to try something new, even if what you have always done still feels familiar and comfortable?What does reinvention mean to you at this point in your life, and why does it matter now?What needs to change or be cleared away so you can move toward the vision you have for yourself?What small step could bring you even one percent closer to the person you want to become?How can you build momentum and begin to feel connected to this new version of yourself?How are you sharing the small changes in your life with the people who care about you?Can you invite supportive people into your vision so they have time to understand who you are becoming?Can those conversations strengthen your desire to make the changes that feel important to you?As you reinvent yourself, can you pause and recognize how far you have already come?Can you appreciate the person you once were while also welcoming the person you are becoming?What is lighting you up as you continue to grow, evolve, and reinvent yourself? I encourage you to appreciate every version of yourself that helped bring you to where you are today. Give yourself the time and grace to keep growing, and trust that each small step is helping shape the person you are becoming. I would love to hear what you took away from today's episode. Feel free to reach out and share how you are reinventing yourself or what changes you are beginning to explore. Please join us for another Wise Walk next Thursday. In this episode: [04:27] I've even found a few moments where I've had to laugh at the dramatic change in my life since I've been on the farm.[05:04] In New York, I lived in the hustle and bustle of the city. My nature fixes were in Central Park.[06:12] I've reinvented myself, and I'm enjoying this new phase of my life. I'm transforming into a country girl.[08:22] One area that I'm clear on reinventing for myself is the way that I work out. My body has evolved to a place where hiking is a better fit than running. This change was hard to accept. I'm also incorporating more strength training.[10:21] True reinvention requires personal growth, transformation, and adaptation. This could take 5 years. I need to give myself space and grace.[11:56] Whatever your reinvention time, be realistic about it and give yourself permission to clarify and take baby steps.[12:43] Also give people around us the space and grace to adapt with us.[15:34] This conversation with my sister helped me take stock of just how far I've come.[16:07] We have the opportunity to reinvent ourselves at any age.[17:03] The choices you make today will write your biography for tomorrow. Memorable Quotes: "How cool that at any age, we have the opportunity to reinvent ourselves. We are not stuck in who we were, and the future has yet to be written." - Mary Tess"I have to give myself a lot of space and grace to really get in flow with this new version of myself." - Mary Tess"True reinvention requires personal growth. It requires transformation. It requires adaptation." - Mary Tess"We are reinventing ourselves in small ways every single day. We change. Our tastes change. Our interests change." - Mary Tess Links and Resources: Mary Tess RooneyEmailHeart Value Facebook | LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram

  • EP305: Exercise Your Power to Test Drive

    EP305: Exercise Your Power to Test Drive
    2026/07/30
    Sometimes you can think you know exactly what you want, but actually experiencing it tells you something completely different. In backpacking, a shakedown gives you a chance to test your gear on a shorter trip before heading out on a bigger adventure. I love that idea because we do the same thing in everyday life, whether we realize it or not. I have test driven cars that looked great on paper, but felt completely wrong once I got behind the wheel, and my first trip hauling horses across the country taught me very quickly that leggings and sneakers were not nearly as practical as denim and cowboy boots. The experience gave me information I could use the next time around. There are so many areas of our lives where giving something a trial run can help us figure out what actually fits. It might be a career, a neighborhood, a relationship, a subscription, or even where we set up a desk. Sometimes we just have to try something and see what happens. Maybe it works exactly the way we hoped, or maybe we realize pretty quickly that it is not for us. Either way, we learn something, and we can use that information to decide what comes next. On today's Wise Walk, we talk about where a test drive might help us figure out what fits, what doesn't, and what we want to choose from here. Is there an area of your life that would benefit from a shakedown or a test run to see if it truly aligns with you?How does that experience fit and feel for you right now?What feels good, what feels off, and what can you do with that information?Is there anything missing from the experience that would help you feel more prepared and avoid regrets later?When was the last time you were excited about something but realized, once you were in the experience, that you did not know what you did not know?Have you ever wished you had tried something on a smaller scale first so you could better understand what to expect and prepare accordingly?Is there something you are interested in experiencing or taking on that you could test in a smaller, lower-commitment way first?Do you give yourself opportunities to take something for a test drive before fully jumping into the deep end? Can you look at the many things that you're juggling in your life right now, get curious, and give them a little bit of a shakedown? Can you try them on for size or give them a test run? Can you give yourself the space and grace to try it on for fit, feel, and no regrets before you fully commit? As always, I would love to hear what you took away from today's episode. Feel free to reach out and share whatever areas of your life you are testing out for fit, feel, and no regrets. Please join us for another Wise Walk next Thursday. In this episode: [02:43] When I think of a test drive, I think of taking cars for a test drive. Things can look good on paper and make logical sense, but you don't know until you've taken it for a test drive.[04:42] We can apply the test drive concept in any area of our lives. [05:22] I tried many neighborhoods on for size when I was thinking about moving.[06:20] I'm evaluating my closet and clothes to see what's a good fit. How does it feel? How does it fit? Is there a real life application for this?[08:18] Denim is definitely the best outfit for farm work.[11:39] When I was promoting my coaching service, I used the initial call as a two-way opportunity for the client to get to know me and for me to get to know them.[12:45] Am I doing this out of enjoyment or am I doing this out of obligation?[13:53] I share my friend's online dating systematic approach. After messaging, then he has a call. If the call doesn't go well, he doesn't move forward. Memorable Quotes: "Anytime we are open to this idea of doing a shakedown with a certain area of our life, we're just gaining information." - Mary Tess"We are trying things on for size. We are giving that experiential test for fit, for feeling, for no regrets." - Mary Tess"We can take career aspirations for test runs. We can take activities and interests for test runs. We can take vacations for test runs." - Mary Tess"We are not locked into anything. We always have permission to choose again. It is ours to choose again." - Mary Tess Links and Resources: Mary Tess RooneyEmailHeart Value Facebook | LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram

  • EP304: Engaging Your Bravery Muscle

    EP304: Engaging Your Bravery Muscle
    2026/07/23
    Bravery is easy to admire when we see someone do something extraordinary. Lately, though, I have been noticing it in much quieter moments. It shows up when someone learns new skills because their career is changing. It is there when a friend tries online dating again or takes on an adventure that feels a little beyond their comfort zone. They may still feel nervous or unsure. They are simply choosing to move forward anyway. Life on the farm has given me plenty of chances to practice this myself. Driving the tractor and learning to use the zero-turn lawn mower were both intimidating at first. I did not automatically feel confident just because other people told me they were easy. After a while, the tractor stopped feeling strange. The zero-turn is taking a little longer, but I am getting better at that too. None of it became easier because I suddenly knew exactly what I was doing. It became easier because I kept trying. On this Wise Walk, we talk about the many ways bravery can show up in our lives. Sometimes it means making a major change. Other times, it is getting back on the mower, signing up for a class or taking one step toward something we have been putting off. It may not go exactly as planned, but there is still something to gain from doing it. We learn what works, what does not, and what we may do differently next time. That experience makes the unknown feel a little more manageable. Where can you appreciate the ways you are taking action despite your fear of the unknown?When discomfort rises, how can you tap into your bravery and do it anyway?How can you give yourself credit for bravely moving forward into the unknown?Where do you see bravery showing up in the people around you?How can you acknowledge someone who is pursuing what matters to them despite their fear of the unknown?Is there a career unknown you are struggling with right now?How can you recognize the courage it takes to embrace that discomfort and keep moving forward?Are you facing uncertainty in a relationship or in dating?How can you show up authentically, move through the discomfort and become braver through the experience?Is there an adventure or experience that has been calling to you?What small step can you take to move closer to it?Where in your life are you feeling challenged or uncomfortable with the unknown?How can you draw on the bravery you have shown at other times in your life?Once you take a small step in the direction you want to go, how can you celebrate it?Who can you invite to recognize and celebrate your bravery with you?How can you admire and encourage the bravery you see in others?How can you remind one another of the bravery that exists within you and all around you?Where can you set an intention to be brave without becoming too focused on the outcome?How can you appreciate yourself for entering unfamiliar territory with courage?How can you prepare through education, research, or practice and then show up with your best effort? Do your best to prepare, show up with bravery, and move through the unknown with self-care and love. I would love to hear what helps you feel brave and how you are putting yourself out there. I look forward to next Thursday's Wise Walk. In this episode: [02:37] I have a friend whose job has been impacted by the world of AI. She's learning and getting certifications, so she can continue to do the work she loves.[04:09] Instead of being paralyzed by fear, she decided to dive into the world of AI and learn how to understand it better. She's taking action despite the fear of the unknown.[05:01] I have another brave friend who is dating online. She's putting herself out there. There is risk and a fear of the unknown.[06:01] Every time we do brave things, we exercise that bravery muscle. I'm proud of my friends for taking action and being brave.[08:46] I grew up in a small town and a sheltered environment. I went to college and moved to Manhattan during a time when crime was at an all time high. [09:08] My transition to Manhattan and my new transition to living on a farm are both equally brave.[11:02] Whatever we are grappling with is about consistently showing up for ourselves and knowing that we have bravery within us.[14:30] We can step in and flex our bravery muscles, and show up for ourselves and embrace the discomfort and take action to pass the fear. [15:40] Each time I push through and take action I grow and get stronger and more confident.[16:40] Each time we step in with intentions of bravery, we get stronger. Memorable Quotes: "Bravery is the act of doing something despite the fear of the unknown." - Mary Tess"Each time we embrace bravery, whatever we do next that is scary or unknown works that bravery muscle and makes the next time less intimidating." - Mary Tess"You have already been brave in more ways than you remember. That strength is still there when you need it." - Mary Tess"Courage becomes easier to find when we take the time to recognize how far we have already come....
