I’m Marie Well, as in healthy well. At least, that’s my aim—to get well and make you well. We all have woes, from breakups to cancer to hoarder houses. I’m here to fix those woes—with tips mixed with my own tales.
Why read me? I’ve got a track record of fixin’ stuff. I’ve cured myself of anxiety. For a decade, I had anxiety attacks that struck almost daily. When not stricken, I’d write Voice articles, mostly on how to combat stress.
And then my world changed. One week went by with no attacks. A month. A year. Two years. And counting.
Now, I want to skyrocket our health—and bolster our creativity. After all, nothing soothes better than strokes of paint or tones of music or reps in a gym.
So, let’s get fit, creative, and well with Marie Well.

When I was in grade nine, I went through an identity crisis. I had no idea who I was. I had no idea who I was meant to be, either. I looked to movies, such as The Breakfast Club. I looked to singers, such as Madonna. I looked to role models, like my brother. But… Read more »
I know a soul who charms the world. She’s the alpha female, the one every toe points toward in a chitchat. She can read your mind, fix your problems, and make you feel like you belong. Men fall for her nonstop, men half her age, men twice her age, men who show up at her… Read more »
I saw a near death experience (NDE) video. The female, who had an NDE, said she died and went into a brilliant light of unbelievable love. She said, during her short stint in the light, she discovered that God gives us all gifts, each gift unique. Her gifts were inner beauty and patience. But after… Read more »
As an angst-filled teen, I vowed to become perfect. But what did it mean to be perfect, I wondered, as I sat alone on the dark hillside by a creek, lost in delusions, visited by the occasional stranger, comforted by a fire several meters away.
