    EP296: The Rule of 3s: A New Way to Navigate Change
    2026/05/28
    I have been feeling waves of exhaustion, waves of energy, and honestly, a little out of rhythm as I settle into my new home. I'm only about 10 days into this move, and even though I'm excited and grateful, I've also had moments where I feel disoriented, tired, and unsure of what needs my attention first. When I shared that with my aunt, she reminded me of the Rule of 3s: three days to decompress, three weeks to build routines, and three months to begin feeling truly at home. That framework gave me so much perspective because change, even when it's good, still asks us to let go of something familiar. In those first few days, we are not just setting up a new space or stepping into a new chapter. We are also adjusting to what we left behind. I saw that in myself, and I saw it as I brought my dogs into this new environment and began creating routines for all of us, including the goats and chickens that are now part of my daily life. The more I think about it, the more I realize how much grace we need during any big transition. We cannot expect ourselves, our loved ones, or even our pets to feel settled immediately. We need time to decompress, time to create small grounding habits, and time to integrate into whatever new experience we are stepping into. On today's Wise Walk, we are slowing down to check in with ourselves and ask where we are in the Rule of 3s, whether we need rest, routine, or simply more patience as we find our footing. When you experience a major change in your life, are you able to give yourself grace and use the Rule of 3s to help you adjust and pace yourself?When someone you love, whether two-legged or four-legged, experiences a major shift like a new home or new job, can you offer them that same grace?In the first 72 hours of a transition, when everything can feel overwhelming, are you kind and patient with yourself?Can you recognize that even when a new experience is exciting and full of possibility, it may also come with a sense of loss?Are you willing to let yourself decompress as you adjust to giving up what you once had?Can you honor what you are losing while giving your body, mind, and heart the time they need to adjust and receive the full gains of what is next? Whatever you are taking on right now, I'm sending so much good energy and positive vibes your way. Change is hard for all of us, so if you feel stuck, frustrated, or unsure, take a moment to ask where you are in the Rule of 3s. Hopefully, months from now, you will look back and realize you handled the transition with more grace than you thought possible. Until next Thursday's Wise Walk, please be sure to prioritize fun, read the signs, direct your path, and get your Stride On. In this episode: [04:27] The first 3 days of my new home experience was disorienting. It has taken some time for me to decompress.[05:18] I didn't bring my dogs yet, because I knew they needed space to go through the transition.[06:22] We have to pace ourselves and acknowledge that we're going through a decompression period during the first 72 hours.[07:12] The best way to manage the first 72 hours is to give yourself permission to do the bare minimum and take the time to decompress. Manage your priorities to the best of your ability without overdoing it.[08:14] The second step is starting to establish routines for your new environment. Your first 21 days are about managing and starting small daily habits that help you feel grounded in your environment.[11:10] In my new home, I've also acquired goats and chickens.[12:44] I've not only been creating routines, I've also been hiking, walking, and exercising.[13:57] The three month mark is all about integration. Give yourself at least 3 months of that new activity to feel at ease.[15:34] When starting something new it takes a while to build up that muscle memory. It doesn't happen overnight.[16:24] Hold on to the habits that support you.[17:26] The message behind the rule of threes has really helped me manage the new move.[18:48] The rule of threes will also be helpful for my dear friends who just got new puppies. Memorable Quotes: "Sometimes feeling unsettled does not mean something is wrong. It simply means we are still integrating into what is new." - Mary Tess"In the first few days of a transition, we do not have to do everything. We only have to tend to what is essential." - Mary Tess"When we understand the phase we are in, we can stop fighting the process and start caring for ourselves through it." - Mary Tess Links and Resources: Mary Tess RooneyEmailHeart Value Facebook | LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram

    EP295: The Hidden Gifts in Misplaced Things
    2026/05/21
    Sometimes the smallest misplaced thing can stir up the biggest reminder. A set of keys on a walking path, a phone left behind in a restroom, or eight tiny screws tucked away in a "safe place" can all feel like inconveniences at first. But I've been thinking about how these moments also invite us to slow down, pay attention, and notice what life may be trying to show us. After my recent move, I found myself searching for the antique screws that hold my grandparents' dining room table together. I knew I had put them somewhere special, but of course, that special place escaped me when I needed them most. What started as a frustrating search turned into motivation, resilience, prayer, laughter, and a deeper commitment to organize my life with more intention. In today's Wise Walk, we're looking at what we can gain from what feels misplaced and how we can rewrite the story from loss into growth. When you misplace an item in your life, can you chuckle, reframe the narrative, and consider how it might benefit you?How might misplacing an item actually be good for you on some level?What surfaces for you when you think about misplaced items?When you find someone else's misplaced item, how are you able to support that stranger, unknown person, or someone in your life?How can we heighten our awareness of the ways misplaced items might serve a greater purpose for us and for others?As you take yourself on a Wise Walk and reflect on the misplaced items in your life, what stands out as a hidden gift in the experience?How has a misplaced item motivated you or improved your organization for the future?How has misplacing something helped you slow down and recognize that you may be tired or carrying too many things at once?How can you slow down so the pattern of misplacing things does not repeat itself?If you misplace something today or in the future, how can you see it as a lesson, a gift, or an opportunity for growth?How can you rewrite the narrative and focus on what you gained, not just what you lost?What in your life feels like you gained more than you lost, even though you went through a temporary struggle?When you found something you thought was lost, did you feel relieved, giddy, or reassured that it was not gone forever?How can you give yourself credit for being resilient, staying motivated, and learning from the experience?How can you improve your organization or habits so that the same type of situation does not happen again? We expand when we misplace things, and we have to rise to the occasion. I would love to hear what you took away from today's episode. I would love to hear what is coming in and out of your life and how you are growing more resilient. Thank you so much for listening.Thank you for being such a support to this community, the Striders community. I am grateful for each and every Thursday and going on these Wise Walks with you. In this episode: [02:44] I've recently moved, and there are so many things that I've accidentally misplaced from putting them in a "safe place".[03:58] I put the screws to my grandparents' table in a "safe place". Not being able to find them became very stressful.[04:31] Looking for antique screws gave me motivation to go through everything.[05:41] It was just a matter of time, energy, intention, and effort. Knowing this helped me move through and unpack everything.[06:03] I benefited from going through boxes and bins much faster than I normally would have, and I've taken a vow to be more organized in the future.[07:17] I love how we can reframe the narrative when things happen.[09:06] In life, we misplace things, whether we find them again or not, it's still an opportunity to reframe the narrative.[10:33] The great news is that I found the screws. Of course, they were in the last bin.[11:16] This gift of being highly motivated helped me get through a lot of boxes and bins.[13:50] We learn more from our mistakes than we do from our successes, because we expand when we misplace things or when things don't go as planned. Memorable Quotes: "We expand when we misplace things, we expand when we make a mistake, we expand when things don't go the way we hope." - Mary Tess"This theme of misplacing things is connecting me to things that are more meaningful, that are more important for my growth at this moment." - Mary Tess"Hopefully, we gain more than we lost in the moment, and we can reframe the narrative in our life so that we can see that and appreciate it." - Mary Tess Links and Resources: Mary Tess RooneyEmailHeart Value Facebook | LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram

    EP294: Mistakes, Grace, and the Village Around Us
    2026/05/14
    Life has a way of reminding us that we are not meant to carry everything alone. This past weekend brought that lesson into focus for me as I coordinated a big move from St. Augustine to Georgia, with belongings spread across storage, family, my van, and the pieces of a life that had been in transition for months. It was exciting, exhausting, emotional, and full of moving parts, which meant there were also a few unexpected curveballs along the way. In the middle of trying to keep everything organized, I dropped a ball that mattered to me. I accidentally uploaded the wrong podcast file and did not realize it until the podcast team reached out. At first, I was upset with myself. I thought, how did I miss that? But once the panic settled a little, I could also see the reality of the moment. I was in the middle of a major move, my attention was split in too many directions, and sometimes that is when simple mistakes happen. This episode is about the power of having a village, whether that village is family, friends, coworkers, or even kind strangers who step in at just the right time. As I move through this transition, I am feeling deep gratitude for the people who helped me keep things moving when I could not do it all on my own. On today's Wise Walk, we are looking at what becomes possible when we give ourselves grace, ask for support, and remember that being human does not mean being unsupported. When you are juggling too many things in life and you drop a ball, do you have a support system that can rally around you, help you pick it up, and keep moving forward?How are you feeling right now?Are you feeling overwhelmed, alone, or isolated, like the weight of the world is on your shoulders?Can you take a breath, ask for help, or see what can come off your plate so you are not juggling so many things at once?What becomes possible when you feel part of a village and supported in those moments when things do not turn out exactly as planned?Can you give yourself permission to receive support and allow things to turn out even better because you do not have to do everything alone?Can you give yourself grace when you drop a ball or make a mistake?When you are juggling a million different balls and there is a missed opportunity or mistake, how do you rebound from it?What do you do to release disappointment, frustration, or negative energy?How do you pivot from what went wrong to asking, "What can we do to fix it?"Can you lean into your support system, especially when the situation is time-sensitive or too big to fix alone?Can you appreciate that there are ways to rebound successfully without beating yourself up? I would love to hear about your village. I would love to hear about how you take on these feats in community with others, how you honor the fact that you are imperfectly perfect, just as you are. So please send me your shares, send me your feedback. I welcome them. And I look forward to next Thursday's Wise Walk, so be sure to tune in. In this episode: [03:18] I had to move from St. Augustine, Florida to Georgia this past weekend. It was no small feat with my belongings in different locations because of my nomad adventures. [04:15] I was one person trying to coordinate with the movers and consolidate everything. It was extremely draining.[05:44] I was being really present with the move, but other issues came up in my life. [06:12] This podcast is important for me, but my audio files didn't upload like they were supposed to. I was so busy, I missed the communication from my podcast team, creating a last minute shuffle. [07:55] Everything came together and we were able to get the show out on time. [09:12] We are human, accidents can happen, that doesn't mean we don't have time to fix it or get the show out on time. [10:36] Moving is one of the top stressors in life, and mine was extra complicated with the consolidation of my belongings. [11:25] I realized that the team took pride in their work and wanted to get things out on time, and we are better together.[12:28] The move went successfully. It's done. The podcast aired successfully. Leaning into the support I have, makes me realize it's okay to juggle balls when needed. [13:26] The best gift we can give ourselves is the grace and understanding to know that it's okay to pivot.[15:03] A cool story about getting my nephew's bike to school with the help of one of my friends. [16:05] I was also juggling the logistics of this event on a crowded elevator going up 30 stories. I was encouraged by the people in the elevator with me. [17:51] In general people want us to be set up for success. [18:11] It's also important to make sure you say thank you![19:38] A big shout out to Karen, Emma, and Beth. Thank you! I also want to thank Mike Hain for helping inspire this episode and knowing that we are better together. Memorable Quotes: "You do not have to prove your strength by carrying everything alone. Sometimes strength looks like leaning into your village." ...
