hey girlypops! we have a lot to catch up on. i turned 24, i started dating and im back in therapy - so you haven't missed much… LOL. I've also read a lot of books so I'm obviously giving you my unsolicited opinion on all of them. missed you, lets get back to life being weird x Where to find me: Instagram: @marystevenn Tiktok: @oatmilkleader YouTube: mary steven

HEYOOOO! I saw phoebe bridges sing "so she knows she lived through it to get to this moment ate a sleeve of saltines on my floor and I knew then" !!!!! anyway, in this weeks episode we talk films, tv shows, books, things I'm loving and things im hating (life) !

hey! how y'all doing? let's catch up, it's been a second or two or three... im kind of trying to refigure my life out again. it feels like i do this every time my birthday approaches and thus, as virgo season creeps in, i am spiralling. i also share my book recommendations and tv recommendations as well as discussing whether or not i want to start dating, why i might leave my job and how im trying to find balance between working and living.

Life has been kind of crazy recently and I've really struggled with taking a step back and being proud of myself. Sometimes it is hard. You feel unworthy of good things and you feel even more unworthy of feeling proud of yourself but you have to be proud of yourself before you want anyone else to be proud of you. I'm proud of your work in progress. Keep going!

Welcome back to Life Gets Weird (again, yikes).

ITS AN ADVICE Q AND A AGAIN. instagram: @marystevenn tiktok: @oatmilkleaader spotify: mary claire steven

This weeks episode is all about how we get comfortable with the familiar and how taking steps out of that comfort zone can be scary but leaves us room to take a chance on ourselves. Also, I talk about my drunk weekend and my current favourite reads! instagram: @marystevenn tiktok: @oatmilkleaader spotify: mary claire steven

Dating, guys, sexuality, everything that falls into the sphere of "hot girl summer" is all fun and games but don't forget to heal. There's so much involved in the notions of dating that we often forget to reflect on ourselves whilst we're getting lost in the sauce of it all. This is quite the "girl talk" episode. And yes, if you're here from my tiktkok, I will be explaining the backne story in this episode. Also sorry for the background noises. London has reopened and that means the noise outside my window is back :( instagram: @marystevenn tiktok: @oatmilkleaader spotify: mary claire steven

hi again *awkward laughs*. this weeks episode is about how we perceive other people and create unobtainable expectations that break us. life gets weird. surprisingly enough. we feel like we're running out of time, people let us down, we have to put ourselves first. also, antidepressant talk because why not? instagram: @marystevenn tiktok: @oatmilkleaader spotify: mary claire steven

In this week's episode we're talking law of assumption, expecting things to fail, friendships and how they can work out if we let them! instagram: @marystevenn

I'M BACK. I'm sorry for the slight disappearance. this week we're talking anti-depressants, getting the vaccine, social media's effect on our perception of ourselves and showing up for yourself before you can show up for everyone else. instagram: @marystevenn

I'll be honest.. this is just another word vomit episode of everything going on in my head right now. We're talking about education systems, money, living on a floating rock and creativity. Instagram: @marystevenn

yuh

ITS AN ADVICE Q AND AYEEEE. In this episode, I answer your questions and give my advice so I hope it helps in some way - welp! Instagram: @marystevenn

This week we're talking about the uncomfortable conversations. We're talking PMDD, mental health, birth control, pay transparency, unlearning misogyny and breaking stigmas. Have the conversations that make people feel uncomfortable because within that discomfort is room for so much growth. instagram: @marystevenn spotify: mary claire steven

We're back for season 2. And we're back with a whole ton of word vomit. All things therapy, Harry Styles, dropping out of university, social constructs and knowing your worth. Instagram: @marystevenn.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SEASON ONE BESTIES. ONTO SEASON TWO LET'S GET IT I GUESS !!

This episode was wild. I don't know where my brain was at but enjoy me talking about defining who you are, becoming your best self, mental health struggles and getting back into routine and habit post-lockdown. Instagram: @marystevenn

There’s something about putting pen to paper and pouring your heart out that makes you feel lighter and if some of those words help make someone else make sense of their world then that’s amazing but know that even if it doesn’t, it helped you make sense of your world. That’s the biggest blessing your art can offer. instagram: @marystevenn spotify: mary claire steven

Focus on the things that make you unique in this world. I promise you, the things you class as flaws and the things you try to hide from this world are actually the things that make you so special. Whether it's a scar that shows in certain lights or your blunt sarcasm. Someone out there is so glad they got to witness something so unique from you. Instagram: @marystevenn

Just because you aren’t where you want to be or you’re struggling to find your place in this world, it doesn’t mean that you’re failing. Jealousy is natural and normal. We’ve all felt it. And sometimes it’s overwhelming. Channel that jealousy into drive and inspiration. instagram: @marystevenn

Losing people that you thought would be with you forever is heartbreaking. And sometimes it feels like it will never get easier and that you will never heal. But sometimes it’s what you have to do. So fight for yourself. Heal for yourself. Chose yourself every single time. There will be times where you feel like you can’t go on and that you made a mistake. Leave what you have outgrown. Remember, choose yourself and do not look back. instagram: @marystevenn

Pain is subjective. Nobody can objectively have it worse or easier than you. Everything you feel and everything you experience is based on your own personal perception of pain. Outsiders looking in on your life will never know the truth, in the same way, the whole world has this idea of the Royal Family being the perfect nuclear family only to find out the horrors that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle faced. Take this episode as a reminder to be brave and bold and know that only you get to decide what is and isn't painful for you. Always remember that you are the only person that gets to decide the type of life you live because you are the only person that gets to live it. Also, very sorry for the weird tapping noise throughout the beginning of this episode. Looks like I will be buying a new microphone because honestly... wtf. Instagram: @marystevenn TikTok: @oatmilkleader

We're talking about all things communication and expressing emotions. It's hard, why lie? It's even harder when your previous friendships or relationships have been built on a lack of communication and that becomes all you know. We're all working on ourselves and we all do that at a completely different pace to the next person but know when your path isn't meant to align with someone else's anymore. Asking for more is never wrong and it's never rude. Find your worth and fight like hell for it. Instagram: @marystevenn Tiktok: @oatmilkleader Writing: maryclairesteven.medium.com

OKAY FINE, here's the episode on SoulCycle and why I love it so much. Hopefully I'll never mention it again. No promises though. I also talk about wellness and self care but I know you mainly want to hear why I can’t shut up about a bike that doesn’t go anywhere. Instagram: @marystevenn
