🎙️ Welcome to the Merriment Making Podcast—a soft rebellion in your earbuds. I’m your host, Mary “Uncustomary” England—creator of the Merriment Making Method™, sacred disruptor, joy strategist, and founder of the Merriment Movement at Uncustomary.org. This podcast is your permission slip to step off autopilot and into something more meaningful. Each week, we explore creative tools, playful philosophy, rebellious optimism, and science-backed strategies to help you feel more alive—not just “okay.” Whether you’re burned out, bored, or bright but buried, you belong here. Let’s reclaim your weirdness, reawaken your joy, and create a life that feels good on purpose. Happiness isn’t fluffy. It’s radical. And you don’t need to be fully healed to choose it.
