In this interview Mary speaks with the beautiful and talented writer Esmé Wang about what it's like living with chronic and mental illness. Esmé shares her most helpful tools for dealing with depression and anxiety, especially during this difficult time where everything is uncertain. She also gives advice on how we should approach people with disability and how social justice must coexist in our conversations about mental health.
In February 2019, Graywolf Press published Esmé's essay collection, The Collected Schizophrenias, which became a New York Times bestseller and the Los Angeles Review of Books stated that “Esmé Weijun Wang is poised to become a major writer, and this is her origin story.” Her debut novel, The Border of Paradise, has received accolades and kind words from places such as LitHub, NPR Books, and the Chicago Review of Books. She was selected by Granta for their once-a-decade Best of Young American Novelists list of 21 authors under 40, and she received the prestigious Whiting Award in 2018.

In this episode, Mary interviews the pioneer of self-compassion research: Dr. Kristin Neff. Although our society puts much focus on building self-esteem, Dr. Kristin explains why self-compassion is a much more useful and impactful place to focus on. From soothing symptoms of depression and anxiety to helping us be kinder to others, self-compassion is key to greater well-being, especially for women. Dr. Kristin generously shares tips and tools that will help you be kinder to yourself during difficult times.
In addition to writing numerous academic articles and book chapters on self-compassion, Dr. Kristin is author of the book Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself. She received her doctorate from UC Berkeley, studying moral development and then did 2 years of postdoctoral study at the University of Denver studying self-concept development. During Kristin’s last year of graduate school she became interested in Buddhism and has been practicing meditation ever since. While doing her post-doctoral work she decided to conduct research on self-compassion – a central construct in Buddhist psychology and one that had not yet been examined empirically until Dr. Kristin created a scale to measure the concept. Dr. Kristin is currently an Associate Professor of Educational Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin.
In conjunction with her colleague Dr. Chris Germer, she has developed a training program called Mindful Self-Compassion, which is taught by thousands of teachers worldwide. They co-authored The Mindful Self-Compassion Workbook as well as Teaching the Mindful Self-Compassion Program: A Guide for Professionals.

No matter how long you've been on this self-love journey, bad body-image days happen to all of us. But it's how we deal with those tough days that make a huge difference in our overall confidence. In this episode, Mary shares her best tips for those negative body-image days. Whether you woke up feeling bloated or not feeling super confident in your skin, there are ways that you can shift your mindset and not let those negative thoughts affect you.
This episode is a mix of mindset advice and practical tips, so we hope they help heal body-image struggles and love yourself unconditionally. Remember, you are so much more than a body.

{TRIGGER WARNING: eating disorders} In this video I come clean about my lifelong eating disorder and how bikini competitions made it that much worse. I also talk about my bulimia and binge eating disorder and what helped me finally recover.
My intention is that this podcast warns people against dieting because of the harmful physical and mental health consequences it can lead to. And to all my recovery warriors, you are not alone. Recovery is possible and worth it. And I am sending you so much love.
Phew, what a weight lifted off my chest!! I've been wanting to tell this full story for a while, but it brings up a lot of old feelings. Thank you for being with me as I share my vulnerabilities.
