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.
I desperately want my latest movie ad in the theatre pre-shows this Christmas. It will bring a message of love and hope to many people, especially those undergoing depression or loneliness, at Christmastime. I find out today if I get the tax credit, and if I do, I will pay for the movie ad to… Read more »
I’m in the second round of interviews for two companies. One pays $160,000 a year, and another pays $120,000, and both look super fun. I’ve got to minimize my head movement because I have a sweet, childlike voice, and when I get animated, I look like a teenage girl about to go on her first… Read more »
I have a friendly desk clerk who I speak to almost every other week. I noticed she wore an olive-green shirt today, so I seized the moment. I asked her to show me her wrist veins, which were greenish blue like mine. So, I told her she was an Autumn color palette due to her… Read more »
The significant part of having a limited budget is seeking ways to do things for free. And I’ve found some nifty research tools we can use to perform free surveys, focus groups, and even interviews. Are we as excited as I am? If not, we will learn the power these tools offer for academic and… Read more »
I applied for a position, and the diversity questions ask if we’re Muslim or Jewish. If I were a Jewish person, I’d feel like this question was unethical. I always bypass the question about disability or say I never had one, straight out denying it when they unethically force me to answer it. Wherever possible,… Read more »
Learning, working, eating healthy, and fitness are alike. When we do these things every day, we get magnificent results. For instance, when building muscles daily, we may be making little progress day after day. But, after a while, we start to bulk up, and the more we push the boundaries with heavier weights, the more… Read more »
Interestingly, when we get knocked out of the box, it’s likely not some inherent flaw in us. Perhaps it is possible that God wants us to embark on a mission elsewhere, meet significant individuals with whom we have a “soul contract,” or overcome obstacles so that we can help guide others in doing the same. … Read more »
When we set goals, even if we’re in a state where we feel like we have two years left to live, as I thought I did, amazing things happen. These dreams will inevitably unfold for all of us. We need to set extraordinarily high goals in several areas so that if one temporarily falters, there… Read more »
To become a CMO or CEO of a big public company, we can have all the degrees, the pedigree, ten years of experience, etc., but we need something more. We must ace the interview and communicate like Angelina Jolie or some other incredible leader. We also need a plan. But more than all that, we… Read more »
Sometimes, we go through ten years or more of extreme anxiety and chronic fatigue or other tragic circumstances, like I did. The key is to keep trying during these times, throwing stuff at the wall, learning new skills, and doing all we can to care for ourselves and others. If we put in the effort,… Read more »
