    Solid Gold Clouds

    Transforming Trauma into Growth and Empowerment

     

    People often said to Mary that becoming an international best-selling author after writing her book was a ‘silver lining’ to her story. Her response is always that it is actually ‘Solid Gold Clouds’. We are all where we are in life because of our history – and no matter what happens to us we can learn from it and use that experience to better fuel our futures.

    Keeping Your Powder Dry

    Trust, Reputation, and Understanding Who and How to Trust

     

    Oliver Cromwell, famously told his Roundhead troops at the Battle of Edgehill in 1642 (the opening fight of the English civil war), “Put your trust in God my boys, but mind to keep your powder dry.” Learning to trust again after adversity or abuse can be tough but the alternative is to live without love. Gaining experience from your past is a powerful thing as it enables you to be prepared for any similar encounters – but getting the balance right can be tricky!

    Surviving Psychopaths

    Recognising and Protecting Yourself from Antisocial Personality Disorders

     

    Pure pyschopaths might make up 1% of society but if we educated the 99% about them they will lose a lot of their power. If you can recognise the signs and red flags of abuse, you can protect yourself (and others around you) from the harm that these psychopaths, and other toxic personality types, have the potential to do.

    Finding Your Voice

    Breaking the Silence and Expressing Yourself after Abuse

     

    The first rule of any abuser is to keep their victim silent, and then to isolate them from friends and family. Finding your voice again after abuse can be difficult but sharing stories with like minded and supportive people can make all the difference.

    Recognising Personality Types

    Recognising and Protecting Yourself from Antisocial Personality Disorders

     

    Toxic personalities are not just in relationships, they can be in families (parents, siblings, children), work colleagues, friendship groups and neighbours. Recognising the types of behaviour, warning signs and even speech patterns – not just of the toxic personality but within ourselves – puts control back in your hands.

    Write Yourself Out of a Crisis

    The Healing Power of Writing

     

    Writing after an abusive relationship or coming out of a traumatic time in your life, can be a powerful tool for healing, growth, and transformation. It can help you make sense of your experiences, process your emotions, and move forward in a more empowered and fulfilling way. In this course/talk Mary will guide you through how use writing as a tool for recovery.

    Writing and Publishing Books

    Guiding You Through the Process of Becoming a Published Author

     

     Writing is not only a creative outlet but also a tool for self-reflection, personal growth, and storytelling. Mary can inspire you to overcome your fears and take action towards achieving your publishing goals – so that you can delve into the world of writing and publishing, and unleash the power of your words.
