There’s something powerful about being in a room with 1,800 women all gathered for one reason… to grow closer to Jesus. 💛

Last month, I attended the JOY Conference at Scottsdale Bible Church with several incredible women from my church, and I’m still carrying the joy of that day with me.

From the welcoming smiles to the thoughtful details, everything was done with such care and excellence. But more than anything, what impacted me most was the atmosphere. You could truly feel the love for Jesus in that room.

Hearing Tara-Leigh Cobble speak in person was such a gift. Her message was simple, practical, and deeply encouraging — reminding us that reading the Bible doesn’t have to feel intimidating. Sometimes the simplest truths are the ones we need most.

This conference reminded me how important community really is:
Women encouraging women.
Leaders pouring into leaders.
Faith growing stronger together.

I’m leaning more boldly into my faith in this season, and experiences like this remind me why.

As one chapter closes for me professionally, I truly believe God is opening another. And in this next season, I feel called to share more of my story, my faith, and the journey He’s leading me on.

Coffee in hand. Jesus in heart. ☕💛

What started in 2014 as True Career Coaching evolved into Relaze U, then The LinkedIn Bakery (Serving Up Bite-Sized Tips) 🍪, and eventually into coaching, consulting, AI, and speaking through Master It with Mary.
And while the names changed, the mission didn’t.
Each version of my business reflected a new season of growth—expanding how I serve, what I teach, and who I was becoming along the way.
And honestly? I wouldn’t change a thing.
This journey stretched me, grew me, humbled me, and taught me more than I ever expected.
But here’s the truth…
This next season is calling me in a different direction.
So yes—I’m closing this business.
But I’m not disappearing.
I’ll still be available for speaking, training, and select consulting.
I still love LinkedIn.
I still love helping people share their story.
And I still use AI every single day.
But what I’m building next is going to look a little different… and a lot more fun.
I’ll be launching something new this September—and if you know me, you might be able to guess what it is 😉
It’s something I love doing… especially around the holidays… and something people are always asking me for.
Take your best guess in the comments 👇
And before I go—thank you.
To every client, friend, colleague, and cheerleader who supported me over the last 11 years… I truly couldn’t have done this without you.
Reinvention isn’t starting over—it’s stepping into what’s next 💛

Mother’s Day looks a little different for me these days.

It’s been 10 years since we lost my mom, Nancy, and a year since we said goodbye to my mother-in-law, Linda. And while I wish they were still here, today I find myself smiling more than anything.

My mom wasn’t always my best friend—especially in those teenage years (ha!)—but she became one of the most important people in my life. She gave me so much… including my love of baking. Every batch of Christmas cookies, every lemon loaf, every Thanksgiving dessert carries a little piece of her with it.

And Linda… she had style. The kind of effortless, beautiful style I always admired. She spoiled me with the most thoughtful jewelry and scarves, and every time I wear them, I think of her.

I’m also incredibly grateful for my stepmom, Shelley—a loving, caring woman who takes such good care of my dad and all of us “bonus” kids she so graciously welcomed into her life. I don’t take that kind of love for granted.

Mothers have a way of shaping us in the quietest, most lasting ways.

So today, I’m celebrating them—with gratitude, with sweet memories, and yes… probably something baked in their honor.

Happy Mother’s Day to the moms who are with us, and the ones we carry in our hearts. 💛

Google search becoming… optional?
Yeah, I said it.
Because something big is happening with ChatGPT—and most people haven’t caught on yet.
It’s quietly turning into a product discovery engine.

Not just:
“Here are 10 blue links, good luck.”
But:
👉 “Here are the best options based on what you actually need.”
👉 “Here’s how they compare.”
👉 “Here’s what fits YOU.”
That’s a completely different experience than Google search.

Let me paint the picture…
Old way:
You search → scroll → click → compare → get distracted → open 17 tabs → forget why you started
New way:
You ask → refine → get curated answers → make a decision

Big difference.
And here’s why this matters (especially if you’re a business owner):

We’re shifting from:
Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
to:
Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)
Meaning…
Your content doesn’t just need to rank.

It needs to be:
✔ Clear
✔ Credible
✔ Specific
✔ Worth being chosen by AI

Because if AI is recommending products, services, and people…
You either show up there…
Or you don’t exist in that moment.

But before we panic and declare Google dead…
Let’s be real.
Google isn’t going anywhere.
They’re already building AI into search.
This isn’t a replacement.
It’s a shift in behavior.

The real question isn’t:
“Is Google over?”
It’s:
“Where are people going FIRST when they have a question?”
And more and more…
It’s AI.

So here’s your move:
Start thinking about how your expertise shows up in AI conversations.
Because your next client might not “find you”…
They might be recommended to you.

Last day on the island. First stop for our last coffee. Then off to Poipu Beach to enjoy the best ocean one more time with our locally baked french vanilla banana bread. The turtles were on the shore, it was quiet and breathtaking. We will miss this stunning island.

Wednesdays adventures included Wailua Falls and Rum tasting. The weather was perfect and we could see the beautiful falls. Rum tasting is a must when here and the story behind the rum distillery is fascinating. On the way back we stopped at Kauai Coffee for coffee tasting and of course we walked out with a “few” bags of coffee! Today we are off to snorkel at a couple beaches near by.

I’ve been using Gamma for two years now…
…and I’m not being dramatic when I say—it’s been my secret weapon.
What used to take me hours (and let’s be honest… sometimes a whole afternoon of “why does this slide look weird?”), now takes minutes.

And they just dropped some updates that are actually worth paying attention to:
→ Gamma Imagine
Create standalone graphics right inside Gamma. Not just slides—graphics you can use anywhere.
→ Connectors
This is big. Gamma now connects directly into your workflows (yes, including ChatGPT and Anthropic’s Claude).
Translation: less copy/paste chaos, more seamless creation.
→ AI Templates
Take a presentation you already built and remix it for a new audience, offer, or event.
No more starting from scratch every time.

And they didn’t stop there…
✔ Smart Charts
✔ AI Infographics
✔ Multipage Gammas (finally 🙌)

Here’s why this matters:
If you’re still building decks the “old way”… you’re spending way too much time on something AI can now do faster (and honestly, cleaner).

I use Gamma for workshops, client presentations, trainings—everything.
It’s how I go from an idea → to a polished deck without the headache.

Curious…
Are you still building your slides manually, or have you started using AI for this yet?

Everyone keeps asking:
“Is AI going to replace jobs?”

Wrong question.
What’s actually happening?
👉 Humans are training AI in specific, high-value skills.

Not just general knowledge—
• Real workflows
• Industry expertise
• How top performers think

Here’s what that means:
Your value isn’t going down… it’s going up.

Because AI needs:
✔ Your experience
✔ Your process
✔ Your voice

The real shift?
It’s not: “I use AI”
It’s: “I trained AI to think like me.”

That’s how you scale.
💡 AI + your expertise = your unfair advantage

So stop asking:
“Will AI replace me?”
Start asking:
👉 “How can I train AI to scale me?”
