A quiet reflection on breath, trauma, resilience, and the choice to begin again
In this deeply personal short episode, Mary Black shares a vulnerable meditation on the 10-year anniversary of a life-changing moment—when a doctor told her husband, “It may already be too late.” What followed was a decade of health challenges, family trials, and profound spiritual growth.
As Mary sits in the stillness of early morning, she reflects on what it means to hold your breath—literally and metaphorically—for years... and what it means to finally exhale.
She speaks to:
- The silent impact of trauma and prolonged stress
- The power of choosing rest, breath, and self-connection
- Gratitude for the blessings born in hard seasons
- Her evolving mission to help women build lasting financial freedom
- And the truth that anchors it all: It’s never too late.
Whether you're navigating grief, exhaustion, or the slow return to yourself, this gentle invitation will remind you:
You can still begin. You are still here. There is still time.
✨ Listen and breathe with us. Then take your next step, whatever it is.
