I feel like there’s therapy, and then this is wayyy above that. This is true healing. So grateful that she was open and honest in this conversation. This will save lives 🖤
I saw a snippet of this podcast on TikTok and I ran to TH-cam to listen… when I tell you that this is one of the most affirming, cathartic conversations I’ve listened to. I feel like Mary was channeling emotions that so many of us have yet aren’t willing to speak on… I feel honored to be able to witness a shedding of ego and pain. Bless you 💖
Exactly the same, saw the reel and hopped on here. I let myself be guided by the process and reconnection with her. Even the scatteredness of her feels so familiar, it's like seeing my own self from some time ago.
She was very captivating as soon as she sat down and starting speaking and I can see her POWER! TAREK your a great friend for noticing and breaking her through this podcast episode and y’all two grabbed my attention immediately in the first 15 minutes.
Mary don't even know how hard she struck my heart and probably so many hearts. I'm only 19 and I know our generation has faced so many similar issues and will continue to, but to know someone this strong in their journey is 100% reassuring. Thank y'all so much for sharing this!!!
I never made that connection before that alcohol was giving my inner child the social love and connection they always wanted. It’s so easy to become an alcoholic if you’re in a big city going to college..especially while dealing with childhood trauma. I think a lot of us are afraid to say our truths even to ourselves about it
I resonate with Mary so much. I am an only child who had a very tough, lonely childhood and it wasn't until my 20s I had real friends who were bartenders and DJs, deep into the nightlife. I felt accepted for the first time and alcohol was always the highlight of outings. it bonded us. I began to symbolize drinking with being included, being free, being confident and fell down a similar slippery slope. You swear you have self-control and it can never be you until it is.
I have never felt so seen. I am 27 and realize that alcohol has a power and hold over me. It’s scary to think about my life without it. Will I still be fun? Will I still have friends? Will people still want to be around me? But the escape that alcohol used to give me now just brings me shame and hyper focused on all the things that are wrong with me. The conversation about her dad really spoke to me. The man that isn’t in my life the alcoholism comes from that side of me and it pisses me off. But I am glad that I’m aware now. This is the ground work that will get me to peace and happiness. Thank you for this beautiful podcast. I’m so glad Tik Tok brought me here.
This resonated with me so deeply. I am an only child. I took my first drink at 21 with the uncle I so deeply adored. I met my first pimp at 21. If you had told me my life was going to flip upside down so fast I wouldn’t have believed. I was drawn to my pimp in our first conversation because he was a man who didn’t make any sexual passes at me. He just listened to me that night. I was high n drunk. I poured out to him. I took my mask off and I remember feeling so seen and heard on top of lies of promising a hood girl like me a way out for me and my sons. He had me sold…. As I type this I recognize from this video all of the healing work I’ve done since my exit runs so deep. I did EMDR and it ran me off because it brought up visions of me as a little girl being harmed and I still can’t face it because of who is in those visions with me. I felt like my mind was playing tricks on me because why can’t I remember. It’s too much but I wonder if not going deep is what’s blocking me from fully forgiving myself and healing. Lately I’ve been so tired of the journey called life. I feel compelled to continue this fight maybe the better me the better life I deeply desire can one day become a reality. It starts with going deeper. Idk but thank you for sharing. Let me break free from wanting to the center and helping others. I too want to be a healer but I don’t want it in vain. Social media can be a big distraction because you witness so many others in their power. I don’t want to miss my time sometimes I feel like I already have because I had gotten so far and gave it up for my EX husband. Ugh so much to unpack.. yes I am currently seeking support. Sorry to dump
Here from Tik Tok. Whew this episode was gut wrenchingly vulnerable and healing! Love you Mary for sharing, and Tarik for holding the beautiful space. I related soooo much ❤️🫶🏽
I saw this reel on instagram and BOLTED HERE. Mary, I see you, I hear you, and I love you. Thank you for being vulnerable and allowing your hurt, your progress to be seen by others. Watching you go through the process of healing removed a lot of shame for me. Thank you for what you have done for me today.
Ugh this conversation with Mary had me in tears. Crying there with her like a damn baby. Mary, God bless you and may He be with you always and continuously helping you heal. She’s is powerful, so insightful, so beautiful and pure within her soul. This was so raw. May she be blessed.
TAREK!! I don’t usually comment on yt videos but wow I had to!! This was healing. God truly blessed you with the gift of healing for sure. Pls don’t ever stop!! Healing and having this podcast is definitely one of your purposes!!
I'm convinced most parents don't really care about their kids. I'm learning even many of the parents that look like they genuinely care don't. From the outside looking in, it looked like my parents cared about their children but the reality is they didn't really care about us and seen us as more of property and emotional punching bags than human beings deserving of love, peace, and freedom. The reason my siblings live very dysfunctional lives and why I meet so many dsyfunctional people is because they haven't healed from their traumatic childhoods at all . It's so many broken people who have made no progress in healing as much as they talk about it ... and the only way you can make real progress with a connection with God. God can heal us from things we never thought we could be healed from and fill us with a love we always desired us from a parent
This podcast was so necessary for me at this point. Hearing her story, there was so much relatable circumstances, perspective and emotion. And hearing Tarek give so much love and support in his feedback was that reminder to be graceful with myself because the inner child needs to be handled with care! I love this content… the world ABSOLUTELY NEEDS more and more and more if this kind of healthy vulnerable conversation. Thank you both for being so transparent and loving 🥰. Your mission to heal is without a doubt doing what needs to be done!
Thank you Mary for allowing your healing process to be shared. Thank you Tyrek for sharing this podcast. Speaking to my inner child is something I’m trying to work on. I had a father that completly pushed me aside when his biological son moved in with us. I WAS 6 AND BEGGING FOR MY FATHER TO ACKNOWLEDGE ME AND MY PRESENCE. Only to find out when I was 22 that he isn’t even my biological father. I feel so lost and betrayed.
this is exactly me right now! i havent been able to explain what ive been going through. the universe meant for me to find this on tiktok. thats how i found it. ive been searching. wow!
I felt EVERY part of this. This was a beautiful moment and I'm so happy y'all shared this. I'm on my healing journey right now and I resonate with Mary's journey so much. I don't have a lot of people in my tribe right now so I'm grateful to have stumbled upon this video.
This was so chilling yet beautiful to watch! Tarek, I honor you for creating and sharing such a safe space for vulnerability and supporting Mary through this process. Mary, I honor you for your boldness and courage in speaking your truth and the resilience you've carried throughout life. I know this will be transformational for the both of you and those watching. It wasn't until I chose the courage to share my truth that my journey of healing and self-discovery truly began, and that I was able to find freedom from years of addiction to pornography which I now realize kept me from dealing with the reality of my mother passing away during my youth. I've not only found peace but feel so free. To anyone reading dealing with an addiction or experience they haven't yet shared, I encourage you to confide in a caring loved one or culturally-competent professional. Healing and freedom is possible!
Thank you for sharing this. I really needed this. I resonate with Mary sooo much, it sounds like we had very similar childhoods & even lives after turning 21.. I've been trying to stop drinking and focus on healing, it's been so hard. I've relapsed so many times. I've been so angry at myself, so anxious and depressed lately, I haven't even left my apartment in 7 days or really gotten out of bed... I saw this exactly when I needed to. Giving myself grace and gonna keep trying. Thank you again. You shared so much wisdom & this was so healing ❤🩹 sending love & strength, we can do this.
Just wow thank you guys for letting God using yall to deliver this message I needed this. You will never know how much, but I thank you guys. Keep healing and growing.
Mary spoke to me in so many tongues YALL don’t even know. She said the same prayer I have been begging for. God please take all things that are filling a void away.
I commend you, you are a strong woman. I’ve been on this journey alone. My heart hurts, I’m so mad and angry half the time. I’ve stopped drinking, stopped smoking, and I’m struggling everyday.. but growing and healing slowly I’m 11:31 into this video and have this gut feeling. Like she’s telling my story almost word for word.
I cried many times in this and just thinking how wild it is that your conversation can impact people you couldn’t imagine. Love you two and thank you ❤🙏
Oh my lord Mary! You are nothing short of a queen! Tarek, the way you approach and speak to Mary's inner child literally spoke to mine. I am only half an hour in, and I have balled my eyes out almost the whole time. I love everything about this conversation, and I've only just found you! I have hugely related to this and I thank you for being such a beautiful, open and caring listener. I hope one day soon I find my tribe within your realm of love and openess. Mary has opened up the way she has because of the way you two connect, and that makes me so optimistic about my future. Love love love this video and you two, so much! Keep soaring because your purpose is most definitely to heal others. I believe one day, I will also be able to tap into my healing ability to speak truth and be a voice for people from my type of world. 💜💜💜💜💜💜
whenever i listen and or watch your episodes sir, i feel SO seen and understood, i might not always resonate with the topic or the specific thing being spoken about but what i love is that it allows me to question things and look inward and see if potentially i might be going down a certain path,your podcast to me feels like that little voice in my head , or that friend who went through something so you wouldnt have to, and Thank you for that.
Thank you for this. I'm going through a whirlwind of grief after losing my other half 4 months ago. Its bittersweet because I wish I could have shared this with him. He left this life with so much unhealed trauma.. this was very healing and profound dialog.. and it has given me tools to be more compassionate and patient with myself and to show myself grace to face my own traumas and heal the little girl ive been running from in my whole adulthood so that I can live a more whole and fulfilled life.. for me.. but for him too.. grateful to have witnessed this. Blessings to the both of you ❤
Im only 20 minutes in and she is so real for this. Seeing someone be this vulnerable makes me feel like I could too like there are safe spaces in this world. Thank you Tarek for being and creating a safe space thank you for helping her heal may the most high continue to bless you in every way!! I don’t know this woman but I’m so proud of her. I pray she is protected loved and cherished as the divine being she is.
i can relate. i avoided alcohol because my dad is a horrible 30+ year alcoholic and i just have trauma towards that. once i turned 21 i got addicted to alcohol and for this year iv'e been drinking almost everyday. i'm also lonely and avoid so many of my friendships. i jumped to listen to this and i feel so heard.
Thank you for sharing your story Mary. I can't express how healing and fulfilling this video has made me feel, and I had no choice but to share it with every single one of my friends. The journey continues, and you're not alone in it. If you see this Tarek, I thank you for having this platform. You've helped me so much through my own personal journey, and even minutes into the video I burst into tears because I realized my purpose is to also be a healer. Please never stop posting, and inspiring. I love you!!!!!
Oh yes. This is the new wave of society THANK U SO MUCH both of you for this your literally freeing so many ppl with this. Y'all triggered me within the first 10 seconds on the intro I had a outburst of emotion this is exactly what I need to hear in this moment thank you so much. This is the space I'm at in life of aknowledging this and now figuring out how to heal from the past I've experienced. Ultimalty we all have a similar story. We want love.
Ngl this was so healing. You're such a safe space and one can't describe how it is to experience it virtually/spiritually let alone physically. For the first time i watched such a conversation without judging and invalidating any of my feelings and experiences but in navigation of growing through them in the healthiest way possible so it's also beneficial to who may need it when time comes Bless both your hearts, thank you for this! Love and light infinity Bless
Watching this in complete tears. Whew the relation. The grace you’ve given her to share her story. I feel seen. This has been the best podcast episode I’ve watched from any TH-camr
Thank you so much for this beautiful offering, I cried throughout the entire conversation. I resonated deeply, and I felt seen in this moment. I am on my healing journey and it has been tough, but so necessary. This offering was what I needed today, thanks again. Sending you both love, and light. 🤲🏾🌻🧿🦋🧘🏾♀️
This has to be the best podcast episode I have consumed…. This is my first Tarek Ali podcast and I can’t even believe how amazing his energy is. Wow! Blown away 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
I have learned so much about myself from listening to this conversation. I'm so thankful for Mary's transparency. I love how you come with a different perspective. Your energy is amazing. Your voice is so soothing.
I was not ready to sob and blow my nose this morning, wow. Found you from TikTok. Thank you for having these conversations. I think this has pushed me to finally try therapy after *thinking* about it for months.
This has really helped me to realize how I have spent my entire life trying to surround myself around "sucessful" people. When it came to myself though I couldn't see the success. I still feel the little boy inside me that wants to make his parents proud, but still to this day they feel that I'm not "living my life right". This podcast has helped me to see the journey to healing will take time and it's OK to take all the time that I need.
I listened to this on the podcasts app. yall discussion really helped with things going on in my life. Is there anything else I can rate, I want to make sure you can continue creating these videos.
WOW! Just speechless and immensely moved by this dialogue you two shared together and with the world. & for sharing this my heart is full with gratitude. I believe it was divine timing I came across this especially with where I’m at currently in my life. Watching this made me look into my own traumas and reflect on how the trauma bonds I’ve attached myself to no longer serve me KNOWINGLY but yet still try to cling on to them. So it’s just that little girl in me that I need to heal and be there for and definitely realize that there’s no time limit or finish line to that. Whew! I don’t want to keep rambling on but again THANK YOU for this. ❤💐
I’ve been going through one of the most stressful, saddening, and heartbreaking times in my life and your podcast has brought me into tears. Your words are powerful- thank you
my therapists name was mary b & i loved her sm. just like i love this mary b. i related sm & hearing both of you talk, moved mountains inside of me. y’all are both so strong🫶🏼🫶🏼
Tarek , God is really working through you. You weren’t just speaking to her but you were speaking to me too. I don’t know you personally but I love you 🥹❤️ God bless you my friend
The way this needs to be explored is wild! I can't thank both of yall enough! For this and giving me the confidence and space I needed to heal and help others heal through my own perspective without beating myself up for thinking I'm a healer. SPACE AND GRACE
Love to Mary for being so vulnerable this episode even when her inner child was feeling scared ❤ I'm on the same path atm, but this episode helped me to realise a few things I've been overlooking, aiming to work on my relationship with alcohol aswell after falling back into a pattern this summer. This is just the beginning!
This is THE best podcast episode I have ever watched. Tbh I saw a clip on FB and had to hear the whole episode. Thank you for being so vulnerable and honest. Your words and insight into your journey have helped me through my healing. Thank you and much love.❤🙏🏻
This was beautiful to watch. I resonated with this so much, more so as a mental addiction to marijuana and now being in a space again where I’m forced not to as I’m expecting my second child… and I’ve been having so many realizations since finding out because one of my true purposes is being the best person I can be for my children and mainly, myself. Tarek, the way you held space for your friend was so healing. When it hit that hour mark… I felt like you were speaking to me when you started channeling. I also have the power of foresight, and being able to channel as well during conversation… and as I’m separating from unhealthy spaces that weren’t helping me thrive, my vision is becoming clear again and the things I need to do to grow into the person I know I can be, is seeming to be more possible again. Thank you for this 🫶🏼
I am excited to listen to this conversation. I think there is such a need for honest conversations sharing real life experiences. For a large sector of society people are masking pain and covering up honest emotions.
Thank you for this podcast episode and having Mary on. I've been sober for 14 months and the way Mary shared her story with alcohol was very relatable to my own and I haven't been able to relate to someone on this level for the 14 months I've been sober. Thank you Mary for your power and strength and being vulnerable. Such a blessing to come across this podcast. Thank you to you both

Exactly the same, saw the reel and hopped on here. I let myself be guided by the process and reconnection with her. Even the scatteredness of her feels so familiar, it's like seeing my own self from some time ago.
That was a word! “That’s why God shows you the vision and not the journey”. I had to literally pause and say “damn.”
She was very captivating as soon as she sat down and starting speaking and I can see her POWER! TAREK your a great friend for noticing and breaking her through this podcast episode and y’all two grabbed my attention immediately in the first 15 minutes.
❤ Yesss! Isn't this amazing!!!
This was so deep, whew chile! I was crying with her😩I could tell she needed to release so much hurt, god bless you Tarek for this amazing platform ❤
Thank you so much baby!!! i put my heart and soul into this!
Mary don't even know how hard she struck my heart and probably so many hearts. I'm only 19 and I know our generation has faced so many similar issues and will continue to, but to know someone this strong in their journey is 100% reassuring. Thank y'all so much for sharing this!!!
Girl I am Mary, Mary is me. I’m coming on 30 days, had to stop bartending to get better as well. Im sending all the healing energy to her. ❤
I never made that connection before that alcohol was giving my inner child the social love and connection they always wanted. It’s so easy to become an alcoholic if you’re in a big city going to college..especially while dealing with childhood trauma. I think a lot of us are afraid to say our truths even to ourselves about it
And this is the safe space to do it! Thanks for tuning in baby
I resonate with Mary so much. I am an only child who had a very tough, lonely childhood and it wasn't until my 20s I had real friends who were bartenders and DJs, deep into the nightlife. I felt accepted for the first time and alcohol was always the highlight of outings. it bonded us. I began to symbolize drinking with being included, being free, being confident and fell down a similar slippery slope. You swear you have self-control and it can never be you until it is.
Wow. I thought I was the only one who felt this way 🥺 thank you for articulating it so perfectly
4 seconds into the video and I couldn’t even see the damn screen anymore.
Wow. THIS is what true healing looks, feels and sounds like.
I have never felt so seen. I am 27 and realize that alcohol has a power and hold over me. It’s scary to think about my life without it. Will I still be fun? Will I still have friends? Will people still want to be around me? But the escape that alcohol used to give me now just brings me shame and hyper focused on all the things that are wrong with me.

Her spirit is so pure. Thank you for providing her this platform to share her experiences and shine her light. Ur amazing!!!! ❤️💫
Mary is a beautiful women. I admire her strength ❤ her soul, and I pray she finds healing and peace within herself. God please be with her. 😊💯🤗
This resonated with me so deeply. I am an only child. I took my first drink at 21 with the uncle I so deeply adored. I met my first pimp at 21. If you had told me my life was going to flip upside down so fast I wouldn’t have believed.
I was drawn to my pimp in our first conversation because he was a man who didn’t make any sexual passes at me. He just listened to me that night. I was high n drunk. I poured out to him. I took my mask off and I remember feeling so seen and heard on top of lies of promising a hood girl like me a way out for me and my sons. He had me sold….
As I type this I recognize from this video all of the healing work I’ve done since my exit runs so deep. I did EMDR and it ran me off because it brought up visions of me as a little girl being harmed and I still can’t face it because of who is in those visions with me. I felt like my mind was playing tricks on me because why can’t I remember. It’s too much but I wonder if not going deep is what’s blocking me from fully forgiving myself and healing.
Lately I’ve been so tired of the journey called life. I feel compelled to continue this fight maybe the better me the better life I deeply desire can one day become a reality. It starts with going deeper. Idk but thank you for sharing.
Let me break free from wanting to the center and helping others. I too want to be a healer but I don’t want it in vain. Social media can be a big distraction because you witness so many others in their power. I don’t want to miss my time sometimes I feel like I already have because I had gotten so far and gave it up for my EX husband. Ugh so much to unpack.. yes I am currently seeking support. Sorry to dump
Here from Tik Tok. Whew this episode was gut wrenchingly vulnerable and healing! Love you Mary for sharing, and Tarik for holding the beautiful space. I related soooo much ❤️🫶🏽
everytime i watch your videos i feel like a conversation with you would fix everything inside of me that i don't talk to anybody about
I saw this reel on instagram and BOLTED HERE. Mary, I see you, I hear you, and I love you. Thank you for being vulnerable and allowing your hurt, your progress to be seen by others. Watching you go through the process of healing removed a lot of shame for me. Thank you for what you have done for me today.
This is more than just a podcast, May God bless you 🥺❤️🩹
Healing is an infinite process.
Ugh this conversation with Mary had me in tears. Crying there with her like a damn baby. Mary, God bless you and may He be with you always and continuously helping you heal. She’s is powerful, so insightful, so beautiful and pure within her soul. This was so raw. May she be blessed.
TAREK!! I don’t usually comment on yt videos but wow I had to!! This was healing. God truly blessed you with the gift of healing for sure. Pls don’t ever stop!! Healing and having this podcast is definitely one of your purposes!!
I'm convinced most parents don't really care about their kids. I'm learning even many of the parents that look like they genuinely care don't.

God can heal us from things we never thought we could be healed from and fill us with a love we always desired us from a parent
Mary’s journey mirrors so much of mine. I just want to thank both of you from the bottom of my ❤ for sharing such a powerful and authentic dialogue.
This podcast was so necessary for me at this point. Hearing her story, there was so much relatable circumstances, perspective and emotion. And hearing Tarek give so much love and support in his feedback was that reminder to be graceful with myself because the inner child needs to be handled with care! I love this content… the world ABSOLUTELY NEEDS more and more and more if this kind of healthy vulnerable conversation. Thank you both for being so transparent and loving 🥰. Your mission to heal is without a doubt doing what needs to be done!
This is literally me
What a GOLDEN space to heal.💛
I would love to just have this conversation …my own moment of relief. I can’t wait to meet you one day! You both are just …wow. I love you both
Thank you Mary for allowing your healing process to be shared. Thank you Tyrek for sharing this podcast. Speaking to my inner child is something I’m trying to work on. I had a father that completly pushed me aside when his biological son moved in with us. I WAS 6 AND BEGGING FOR MY FATHER TO ACKNOWLEDGE ME AND MY PRESENCE. Only to find out when I was 22 that he isn’t even my biological father. I feel so lost and betrayed.
I am here from Instagram, I fell in love with Tarek's soul!!!
Your control over this conversation is that of someone who is promised good things.. can’t wait for brands to endorse your purpose
this is exactly me right now! i havent been able to explain what ive been going through. the universe meant for me to find this on tiktok. thats how i found it. ive been searching. wow!
You’re such a great friend. Very attentive and supportive.
I felt EVERY part of this. This was a beautiful moment and I'm so happy y'all shared this. I'm on my healing journey right now and I resonate with Mary's journey so much. I don't have a lot of people in my tribe right now so I'm grateful to have stumbled upon this video.
this healed me in a way i can’t describe
Thank you 😊 Tarek Ali. I'm healed as well.
Thank you for sharing this. I feel healed by watching this. ❤❤❤❤

"First time I felt seen, through the connection of substance"
I love the trust that you two developed with each other. Thanks Mary for the vulnerability and tarek on the healing journey. ❤️
“Let her let it out” I felt that oh Jesus
One of the best videos I’ve watched on TH-cam thank you
53:53 HITS SO HARD❤❤…this whole episode is just GOLDEN. Thank you xx
Thank you!
This is healing!!! Mary, I'm so sorry for your hurt. It was destined that you and Ali met. Ali, you are wonderful!!!!
Thank you ❤
Thank you for this. I'm going through a whirlwind of grief after losing my other half 4 months ago. Its bittersweet because I wish I could have shared this with him. He left this life with so much unhealed trauma.. this was very healing and profound dialog.. and it has given me tools to be more compassionate and patient with myself and to show myself grace to face my own traumas and heal the little girl ive been running from in my whole adulthood so that I can live a more whole and fulfilled life.. for me.. but for him too.. grateful to have witnessed this. Blessings to the both of you ❤
Im only 20 minutes in and she is so real for this. Seeing someone be this vulnerable makes me feel like I could too like there are safe spaces in this world. Thank you Tarek for being and creating a safe space thank you for helping her heal may the most high continue to bless you in every way!! I don’t know this woman but I’m so proud of her. I pray she is protected loved and cherished as the divine being she is.
i can relate. i avoided alcohol because my dad is a horrible 30+ year alcoholic and i just have trauma towards that. once i turned 21 i got addicted to alcohol and for this year iv'e been drinking almost everyday. i'm also lonely and avoid so many of my friendships. i jumped to listen to this and i feel so heard.
Thank you for sharing your story Mary. I can't express how healing and fulfilling this video has made me feel, and I had no choice but to share it with every single one of my friends. The journey continues, and you're not alone in it. If you see this Tarek, I thank you for having this platform. You've helped me so much through my own personal journey, and even minutes into the video I burst into tears because I realized my purpose is to also be a healer. Please never stop posting, and inspiring. I love you!!!!!
I love you so much too baby . What a blessing . Thank you . so happy for you
Aspiring to be a healer like this 🙏🏽
Thank you guys, love you ❤
Oh yes. This is the new wave of society THANK U SO MUCH both of you for this your literally freeing so many ppl with this. Y'all triggered me within the first 10 seconds on the intro I had a outburst of emotion this is exactly what I need to hear in this moment thank you so much. This is the space I'm at in life of aknowledging this and now figuring out how to heal from the past I've experienced. Ultimalty we all have a similar story. We want love.
Ngl this was so healing. You're such a safe space and one can't describe how it is to experience it virtually/spiritually let alone physically. For the first time i watched such a conversation without judging and invalidating any of my feelings and experiences but in navigation of growing through them in the healthiest way possible so it's also beneficial to who may need it when time comes
Bless both your hearts, thank you for this!
Love and light infinity
Bless
Watching this in complete tears. Whew the relation. The grace you’ve given her to share her story. I feel seen. This has been the best podcast episode I’ve watched from any TH-camr
Thank you so much for this beautiful offering, I cried throughout the entire conversation. I resonated deeply, and I felt seen in this moment. I am on my healing journey and it has been tough, but so necessary. This offering was what I needed today, thanks again. Sending you both love, and light. 🤲🏾🌻🧿🦋🧘🏾♀️
thank you for this ✨
Amazing amazing amazing conversation. You supported her so well throughout this experience. Definitely opened my eyes to my own work. Thank you
This has to be the best podcast episode I have consumed…. This is my first Tarek Ali podcast and I can’t even believe how amazing his energy is. Wow! Blown away 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
My heart already broken heart broke again and started to put itself back together from watching this I love you both ❤
I have learned so much about myself from listening to this conversation. I'm so thankful for Mary's transparency. I love how you come with a different perspective. Your energy is amazing. Your voice is so soothing.
This is so amazing, I’m going on 71 days sober 🥰! I love this for her !
I was not ready to sob and blow my nose this morning, wow. Found you from TikTok. Thank you for having these conversations. I think this has pushed me to finally try therapy after *thinking* about it for months.
This has really helped me to realize how I have spent my entire life trying to surround myself around "sucessful" people. When it came to myself though I couldn't see the success. I still feel the little boy inside me that wants to make his parents proud, but still to this day they feel that I'm not "living my life right". This podcast has helped me to see the journey to healing will take time and it's OK to take all the time that I need.
I listened to this on the podcasts app. yall discussion really helped with things going on in my life. Is there anything else I can rate, I want to make sure you can continue creating these videos.
WOW! Just speechless and immensely moved by this dialogue you two shared together and with the world. & for sharing this my heart is full with gratitude. I believe it was divine timing I came across this especially with where I’m at currently in my life. Watching this made me look into my own traumas and reflect on how the trauma bonds I’ve attached myself to no longer serve me KNOWINGLY but yet still try to cling on to them. So it’s just that little girl in me that I need to heal and be there for and definitely realize that there’s no time limit or finish line to that. Whew! I don’t want to keep rambling on but again THANK YOU for this. ❤💐
I’ve been going through one of the most stressful, saddening, and heartbreaking times in my life and your podcast has brought me into tears. Your words are powerful- thank you
my therapists name was mary b & i loved her sm. just like i love this mary b. i related sm & hearing both of you talk, moved mountains inside of me. y’all are both so strong🫶🏼🫶🏼
Tarek , God is really working through you. You weren’t just speaking to her but you were speaking to me too. I don’t know you personally but I love you 🥹❤️ God bless you my friend
Pls have more of these conversations
Thank you for sharing ❤ Vulnerability is powerful 🙏
The way this needs to be explored is wild! I can't thank both of yall enough! For this and giving me the confidence and space I needed to heal and help others heal through my own perspective without beating myself up for thinking I'm a healer. SPACE AND GRACE
Wow! This is going to help so many people. This podcast needs a show series, like that of Iyanla.
Love to Mary for being so vulnerable this episode even when her inner child was feeling scared ❤ I'm on the same path atm, but this episode helped me to realise a few things I've been overlooking, aiming to work on my relationship with alcohol aswell after falling back into a pattern this summer. This is just the beginning!
Thank you Mary for being so open and Tarek for being that support to help her thru that healing.. this was chilling I cried w her
This is THE best podcast episode I have ever watched. Tbh I saw a clip on FB and had to hear the whole episode. Thank you for being so vulnerable and honest. Your words and insight into your journey have helped me through my healing. Thank you and much love.❤🙏🏻
GOOSEBUMPS…from just the few seconds of the video. wow.
This was beautiful to watch. I resonated with this so much, more so as a mental addiction to marijuana and now being in a space again where I’m forced not to as I’m expecting my second child… and I’ve been having so many realizations since finding out because one of my true purposes is being the best person I can be for my children and mainly, myself.
Tarek, the way you held space for your friend was so healing. When it hit that hour mark… I felt like you were speaking to me when you started channeling. I also have the power of foresight, and being able to channel as well during conversation… and as I’m separating from unhealthy spaces that weren’t helping me thrive, my vision is becoming clear again and the things I need to do to grow into the person I know I can be, is seeming to be more possible again. Thank you for this 🫶🏼
This was an amazing video! Tarek this is an amazing series. Please keep it up!
why am I crying not even a minute into the video!?🥺
This was intense.
Wow this was such a powerful podcast wowowowow
Excelente saludos desde Ensenada éxito
I am excited to listen to this conversation. I think there is such a need for honest conversations sharing real life experiences. For a large sector of society people are masking pain and covering up honest emotions.
Powerful ✨ May we all heal from our trauma. You’re truly doing IT Brother. 🙌🏾☀️
This was definitely healing for me!
Thank you for this podcast episode and having Mary on. I've been sober for 14 months and the way Mary shared her story with alcohol was very relatable to my own and I haven't been able to relate to someone on this level for the 14 months I've been sober. Thank you Mary for your power and strength and being vulnerable. Such a blessing to come across this podcast. Thank you to you both
God bless Mary for sharing💗💗💗💗💗💗
This is beautiful! I am sending all the love to Mary ❤️
That’s why I only drink during my birthday and NYE. It’s gets addicting QUICK.
Shoutout to you girl!! Keep moving forward ❤❤
Thank you so much for being open and sharing your story 💕🫂
