Meeting overwhelm with productivity methods is a well worn path. But do you ever feel like that path is just a wagon rut that just takes you in circles?
What if the answer isn’t about getting better at handling overwhelm, but instead, finding a deeper presence with your body to unhook from it altogether?
In this episode of Come To Your Senses, I’m weaving you a tale that includes mid-day naps in the coat closet, being saved by a whiff of geranium, and other early stirrings of a sensualist spirit. These tools bring pleasure to life, but more than that, they bring the ability to be awake in life, and to not be sucked in by the undertow so deeply. In this episode you’ll discover:
✨ Why so many of us meet overwhelm with more doing, and what to try instead
✨ How a single inhale of scent can bring you back to center
✨ What it means to be a sensualist, not just in stressful times, but as a way of life
✨ Three powerful gems to ground you when life feels like a bite too big to chewPlus, you’ll be invited to join me this weekend at The Everyday Sensualist: a 2-hour live (or on-demand) experience to help you slow down, tune in, and live with more presence and pleasure.

The Renaissance was a time of discovery, beauty, and full-bodied celebration of the senses.
It was also, let’s be honest, a horrendous time of patriarchal oppression and violence, where unless you were a wealthy white man in a powdered wig, you were likely left out of the party, or even crushed beneath its weight.
What would it look like to create an everyday renaissance?
One that reclaims beauty, celebration, and pleasure not as a privileged luxury, but as an essential part of human life?
What if you could thread that age-old spirit of creativity, wonder, art, and reverie, into the fabric of your modern life?
Those are exactly the questions we’re planting in the gem garden today, and harvesting their beautiful blooms.
In today’s episode, you’ll hear about:
How to become a savant of the senses in your own daily lifeWhy beauty and presence are acts of reclamationLittle ways to live like an artist, and be guided by the museHow to infuse your routines with renaissance-level richnessHit play to discover how to start your own renaissance - a rebirth and recentering of what makes you feel most alive - with just one click.
Here’s to pedestal bowls overflowing with fruit, arias curling through the air like incense, and awakening the essence of the renaissance through your very own body, beauty, and breath.
With love, literature, and lavishness,
Mary

Yesterday I stepped outside my front door to the most delicious sensation.
After many months of my body bracing for the chill that greeted me each time I opened the door, this day was different.
The air was soft and warm.
I felt no need to cover my skin.
In fact, I felt a yearning to melt into the warmth that greeted me, and dance with the dappled light streaming through the trees.As the earth begins to awaken from her beauty sleep, spring is rising up like a morning mist.
Today’s episode is a poetic, pleasure-filled journey through the simple rituals and elemental delights that give spring her slowly ripening, lush radiance.
The crunch of first asparagus, the first day without the need for an overcoat, the sweet sound of birdsong coaxing our bodies back to life–these are just a few notes of the symphony of pleasures that await you today.
Whether you’re basking in blossoms or still watching snow melt, let’s luxuriate in this springtime love letter to your senses.
With petals underfoot,

This season inside The Sanctuary, we’re exploring the richness of simple luxury. But while the world is quite literally on fire, you might be asking yourself:
“Who gives a fig about luxury?”
I hear you—I’ve been wondering the same.
Luxury is often defined as fancy yachts, velvet rops and designer everything, but settle in with me for a moment on this velvet pouf of a thought:
What if luxury was less about having and more about a state of being—an overflowing, soul-deep more than enough-ness?
In today’s episode, I’m peppering your palate with a whole new perspective on what it means to live luxuriously.
You’'ll hear gems on:
꩜ Luxury in chaos—how to find richness and nourishment, even when life feels chaotic to say the least.
🍯 Simple, sumptuous practices—small ways to infuse your days with ease, beauty, and delight.
🕯 The quiet extravagance of embodied presence—and how to slowly create days in your life that feel like a million bucks.
Press play, exhale, and receive. Luxury is just one breath away.
With love,
Mary🌸 Check out our free library of rituals and resources at marylofgren.com

What if one simple word could transform your entire year—even your life?
Today on the podcast, I’m sharing the one word that has guided me on a year of some of the biggest changes of my life.
It’s not the kind of word you’d expect.
When I first shared it with folks, I’d cringe.
I thought it was too soft and simple, that it couldn’t possibly hold the weight of the transformation I was hoping for.
But as usual, the butterflies in my belly knew more than my mind could foresee.
In today’s episode you’ll hear gems on:
How choosing a word of the year has been my compass for the last 5 years—and each year it just keeps getting richerThe story of how this year I stepped into a 20-year dream come true—and the gems of wisdom collected in the processThe key differences between muscling your way through change and magnetizing it with surrender and devotionInspiration for choosing your own word of the year, and how to breathe life into it all year longWith love and wonder,
