Find your True Stride. Walk purposefully through life.

     —Mary Tess Rooney

Have YOU ever:

  • Been overlooked, ignored or rejected for something you were over qualified for?
  • Struggled to see and feel your value?
  • Downplayed your value or redirected your accomplishments towards others?
  • Felt invisible or underappreciated?
  • Lacked confidence to standout or compete with the noise?
  • Received accolades for a job well done, but felt unfulfilled and joyless inside?

Available on Audiobook, Paperback, and eBook.

Appreciation for an individual’s value is at an all-time low. Yet when someone’s true ‘val’ (meaning worth, health and strength) is seen, understood and recognized, that momentum can literally change lives!

—Mary Tess Rooney

True Stride is an empowerment collective dedicated to teaching individuals to know, communicate and nourish their Heart Value, every day. Through the True Stride podcast, Heart Value book, and Value Vault retreat, individuals learn to voice their Heart Value, elevate their joy frequency and feel appreciated in ways that matter.

Most individuals minimize or discount the value they offer and the things that brings them joy. The True Stride movement creates a collaborative conversation that prioritizes a person’s Heart Value–what energetically and emotionally lights them up–above society’s idea of what’s valuable.
