Championing Change

Big Life Change is Hard

Where you are today does not have to be your forever after.

You have an idea, a dream, a craving, or an image that lurks in the back of your mind. There is something else you were meant to be doing. Let’s get that thing out of your mind and in motion today.

To Unlock The Alternate Ending To Your Life

Get started

You

Desire a change.

Have a dream

But too many trains have already left the station.

The big changes you desire seem too hard and would risk creating regrets.

Me

I’ve been there. I tried all the guru inspo and every methodology.

I was left inspired but still stuck with too much on my plate.

But life’s minutes were ticking by with my higher purpose still undone.

So I built a set of bite-sized actionable tools that could pile-drive my goals through the muck of a busy life.

This series of crisp, simple steps actually worked in real life.

I call it KindEdge. 

It’s not gonna be easy, but it’s gonna be fun.

So, hello and welcome. I look forward to walking side by side with you on this journey.

Hi. I’m Mary.

I’m a writer, vlogger, speaker, corporate communications change management consultant, dog-mom, human-mom, and a bunch of other things … just like you.

I’m not a coach or guru. I am simply a truther. I built this website to document the tools I developed to drive transformational change in my life.

I’d wasted too many dollars and decades investing in experts, books, counselors, coaches, methodologies and retreats that all failed.

I was like - WTF.

I refused to waste more precious minutes without seeing results.

So I channeled my corporate change management skills into the project of me. I broke complex transformation down into a series of clear, crisp, doable, bite-sized tasks. Each step ends with one clear decision and a “hook” to the next step. That chain, unbroken, drives results in real life.

These KindEdge steps worked when all other guru inspo failed.

The Fan Club

A big part of KindEdge is throwing out the idea that what works for others, or what others preach, will work for you.

We begin to live by this one core tenet: do what works in real life.

Because there is no one-size-fits-all for the processes, practices, systems, diets, habits, or regimens that work for you, we’ve assembled this growing list of people and resources that we cheer for. KindEdge is a fan of all these makers of great ideas. And as you experiment, you can let us know of more resources we can add to this Fan Club page.

In this post, I explain the difference between the what and the how in big life change, why inspiration evaporates on Monday, what the gap assessment actually does, and what the word KindEdge literally means.
