Free Diaphragmatic Breathing Video
Learn how to breathe with calm, confidence, and control.
Watch Mary’s Belly Breathing video to discover how diaphragmatic breathing can help you stay grounded, reduce anxiety, and avoid slipping into fight-or-flight mode. This simple, science-backed technique supports clearer thinking, calmer communication, and a more confident presence, whether you’re speaking on stage or in a meeting.
Whatever’s causing your nerves, it’s almost certainly not a lion, so let’s help your body realize that too. Rediscover the natural confidence you had as a kid and bring that ease back into your voice.
Humour warning: there will be laughter.
Whether it’s at or with Mary is up for debate. Click to find out.
(No lions or dogs were harmed in the filming, though one dog may have consumed too many treats.)
Storytelling & Jokes: Practicing What I Preach
Watch Mary in Action
I ask my clients to be brave every day, so here’s me doing the same — on camera. Imperfection for the win!
On my YouTube channel, you’ll find real stories, voice tips, and moments that remind us all: confidence isn’t about getting it perfect, it’s about showing up anyway. Some videos are polished, others… delightfully human.
And yes, there’s laughter (sometimes at my own expense). Because every time we speak up, share an idea, or press “record,” it gets a little easier — and a lot more fun.
If you’re ready to show up and speak out more confidently, come watch, learn, and laugh with me on YouTube. Helping people be heard is my favourite thing to do.
