EP64: How to Align with Your Word for the Year
On our Wise Walk, I take everyone through the process of choosing a word. Exploring what resonates for the upcoming year is important before committing to a Word for the Year. Listen as I guide us through this relaxed and joyful process of picking a Word for the Year. Sometimes words match, but don’t resonate with what you want moving forward. You’ll be glad you took time to clarify what you envision through this episode.
EP63: Ways to Co-Create Soulful Love with Dr. Chelsea Wakefield, PhD, LCSW
Today I’m joined by Dr. Chelsea Wakefield to talk about ways to co-create soulful love. Chelsea and I discuss the importance of knowing yourself, and bringing your whole and best self into any relationship. That includes knowing our triggers and shadows as well as getting in tune with who your partner is and not who you wish they could be. Honest awareness encourages individuals to identify what really matters and connect in relationships on a deeper level.
EP62: How Space and Focus Nurtures Growth
Over the holiday, I had a long drive and decided to make the occasion even more special by bringing my dog Trooper along. It was Trooper’s first long trip! On our Wise Walk today, I tie together the connection between my and Trooper’s development and ways we can show up for personal evolution in our own lives. Listen as I touch on creating opportunities for new challenges, building space to grow, and managing attention to be present in the journey.
EP61: How Are Your Thoughts Creating Intentional Experiences?
On our Wise Walk, I discuss why the habits and thoughts developed from your internal cravings influence the things you seek or replicate in how you operate. Really pay attention to the patterns of your brain. You’ll notice reflections of what you already planted in your mind. Since this happens naturally, you can also use that knowledge to understand yourself better. When you crave a feeling, idea, or thought, you are more likely to seek or replicate that thing in the world around you. This episode talks about understanding how thoughts create intentional experiences.
EP60: As a Creator, How Do You Nurture and Restore?
Creations blossom as a result of our contributions and our efforts. Every time we share our creations, it’s time to celebrate our impact and recharge ourselves. This episode talks about managing ourselves as we move through the creation process. Let’s really reflect on what you’re creating in your life, and what I’m creating in my life, and this idea of us being creators. We’re all creators, regardless of what we are creating, doing, or being. With simply our presence on this Earth, we are creating within ourselves and interacting with the things around us. I’m here to spend quality solo time with you for EP60’s Wise Walk as we discover our True Stride.
EP59: A Day of Remembrance and Intentions
I’m feeling giddy about the future. Do you know that feeling? I look back on the amazing nuances of my journey, and think that 11/11 matches what this moment means to me. Today, this episode reflects a day of remembrance and intentions. On the True Stride podcast, we take a Wise Walk to slow down and check our reality. True Stride is that feeling you get when you’re aligned in your heart with all that you do, and you feel energized and happy with each and every step that you take. I’m your host, Mary Tess Rooney, and I am coming to you solo on this episode. Grab a seat and get comfortable!!
EP58: What Lights You Up with Ryan Cwick
Ryan Cwick, our guest for EP58’s Wise Walk, likes to take on the world with the intention of spreading love and kindness. He doesn’t back down from a challenge, and I admire how he views the world. We both share the mindset that it’s important to do what lights you up. On our Wise Walk, Ryan and I talk about how a shock in life provides freedom to explore something new. Why there is not an optimal sequence to life, and how to recreate life at any point. We discuss the balance of giving to others and giving to yourself.
EP57: How to Drop into Your Heart with Joe Hawley
My guest for today’s episode is writer, podcast host, and former NFL offensive lineman, Joe Hawley. On our Wise Walk, Joe and I talk about releasing our “shoulds, ought-tos and what ifs,” and giving ourselves the “freedom to choose again.” We discuss how taking time for yourself nurtures you so that you have more to give this world. Joe shares his insights and a tool to drop into your heart-center to gain awareness and support your nervous system.

EP55: Ways to Herd Up and Face Your Storm with Tim Douglas
From the earliest signs of civilization, nature is observed and used as analogies to teach life lessons. A popular example is the analogy to the “storms” of life. Do you find yourself in the midst of a storm? How do you face your storms? Now is a good moment for a Wise Walk.
