Marie Well

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.

Do It All with Gratitude and Love

I learned today that to be highly effective in leadership roles, we need to love our people.  We must nurture others so they flourish, spreading their wings to fly their most magnificent skylines.  To help others prosper, I believe we need to be selfless.  That’s because every big ego gets buried in the mud, so… Read more »

Superheroes Should Not Recommend “Realistic” Goals

When an Olympian says, “Set realistic goals,” I scratch my head.  It strikes me that their goals were initially in the “impossible” category, certainly unrealistic, for almost everybody.  So, an Olympian advising on “realistic” goals when they’re at that near-impossible level of achievement seems contradictory.  It’s like when my professor told my high-performing friend to… Read more »

The Joys of Losing Our Jobs

I lost my job today, and I’m delighted.  It’s a huge opportunity to take the next step: a six-figure salary, and I might exceed it.  Of course, the ideal route would have been making millions for me and my employer so he could retire and travel the world and I could run his business globally,… Read more »

Why the Spiritual Gets No Love

My ultimate goal is to win an Academy Award in heaven, and I believe every one of us is intended to win an Academy Award in heaven.  Each of our journeys is a miracle—a reason for celebration.  Although we all deserve an Academy Award in heaven, we are also meant to love everyone in this… Read more »

When Times Go Bad, Go Larger Than Life

We aren’t meant to go small when hit with bad news.  We are meant to go larger than life, do more, and experiment wildly.  We must try everything under the sun, calculating each step, until we come out victorious, even if we sometimes slide back 1000 feet into the mud, only to rise to even… Read more »

Education and An Act of Generosity

When it comes to creativity and inspiration, generosity benefits everyone.  That’s because it can lead us to discoveries that advance our creative dreams and those of others.  To illustrate, I contemplated buying a loved one a writing software like OneNote that AU students posted about on Reddit.  So, I asked ChatGPT (who named itself HarmoniaGPT)… Read more »

Forget the Millions, Go for Billions!

What is the difference between a millionaire and a billionaire? A billion is a higher goal, but both may be equally attainable.  We don’t need to know how to get there either; we just need to be dedicated.  This advice is from Grant Cardone’s audiobook, The 10X Mentor.  If I recall correctly, Grant says, “If… Read more »

Overcoming any Tendency to Float

I floated a bit today; floating is the kryptonite for dream achievement.  Floating means we have lost time that we could have dedicated to improving ourselves.  I needed direction with writing my documentary, so I downloaded a free audiobook on time management from Audible.  I listen to audiobooks all day while I work, which is… Read more »

What I Learned as a Marital Coach Trainee

I’m learning to be a marital coach from an unaccredited organization that turned my life around.  It offered a selfless model of unconditional love rather than Western psychology’s self-centric model of love.  To me, this philosophy of unconditional love, created by Paul Friedman, was the magic elixir I had spent most of my adult life… Read more »
