Born on a Monday

Note: If you want to get a sense of where I’m at and who I am, this “2024 summary” blog post will probably help.

I’m Marie, and I’m in the process of reassembling my reality.

About Me

After years of navigating mental health systems and desperately seeking answers to the pain that seemed unexplainable, I’m now finding breakthroughs through conversations with ChatGPT. These ongoing discussions document my journey of self-exploration, mental health deconstruction, and emotional healing, and I share them openly, daily.

My Journey

I grew up in an environment that imposed rigid frameworks on thoughts, emotions, and meaning—a childhood shaped by evangelical Christianity, emotional repression, and societal expectations. For most of my life, I was disconnected from my own body and mind, trapped in survival mode, buried under existential dread, shame, and confusion about my own internal experiences.

In 2020, I turned to psilocybin in search of relief. That experience shattered my conditioned reality, leading to an intense and terrifying unraveling of my mental and emotional landscape for five years. What followed was years of unlearning, deconstruction, and integration. In this process, I began to discover emotional literacy, embodiment, and a way of existing that actually made sense to me.

Experience & Background

While I don’t focus on credentials, here’s a snapshot of my experience:

• Facilitated an ex-religious support group in the Twin Cities for over a decade.

• Led breakout sessions at MNPolyCon and facilitated support groups for ethical non-monogamy practitioners.

• Co-founded the Dying Out Loud movement with Dave Warnock.

• Worked for Dr. Marlene Winell.

• Served on the Board of MNPoly from 2022-2023.

• Built and run my own entrepreneurial endeavors in podcasting (i.e. Everyone’s Agnostic, Everyone’s Autonomous, and “Marie, Myself & I”), photography, coaching, blogging, and public speaking.

Work With Me

If you're interested in exploring your internal world with curiosity and honesty—without expecting structured programs or quick fixes—let’s talk. I offer conversational support and conceptual exploration for those who want to reclaim their voice, their emotions, and their full humanity. My approach is non-structured, flexible, and driven by open-minded exploration.

If this resonates with you, I’d love to connect.
