EW EPISODE LIVE NOW - Podcast Episode 21
I am Mary Mangos, Founder of Coachuwellness. I live in Melbourne Australia. I am a Psychologist, Coach, Author and online course creator. I am excited to relaunch this series as your host and I want to share a little bit about me to show how I got here. I grew up as a daughter of immigrant parents, we experienced challenges like many immigrants. For me there was much joy but also a very strong belief that was reinforced that perhaps we did not belong. That perhaps one day we would told we must leave. I definitely took in that fear and the beautiful worrier that I was, was always on alert. I was not aware of the lens that I now viewed myself and the world around me until my Psychology studies at university. I also grew up watching my parents work so hard and not appreciating the importance of rest and energy management.
Whilst I dabbled with yoga and meditation, but I had not yet started to commit to it in any consistent way. It wasn’t until my 30s that and 40s that I felt inspired by Positive Psychology research and Mindfulness programs. I began to integrate meditation and gratitude practices in my day. They have had incredible positive impact on my positivity, my joy, my sense of calm and clarity. During that time, I expanded my wellness vision and practices. I now have a clear mission and for ME, and a practice that supports it:
My mission is to inspire and change lives towards more clarity, happiness and peace. And that includes my life too! Please keep listening as I share wisdom, tips and science backed practices.
