Episode 096: “Living Centered in the Grey”
Featuring Mary Lawless Lee
Most of what we encounter in life isn’t black and white. Instead, we find that much of the best parts of us and life live in the grey. This week’s guest, author and founder of Happily Grey, Mary Lawless Lee, joins Mickenzie and Lindsey for a vulnerable conversation about embracing and living into the everyday wonders that are found in the in-between grey spaces. From living her life on the internet with over 2.5 million followers, building thriving and demanding businesses, walking away from a career in nursing, getting divorced and remarried, and becoming a mom, Mary shares the stories of her life and invites us into a new way of living. Mary’s new book Happily Grey: Stories, Souvenirs, and Everyday Wonders from the Life In Between is on sale now!
