Why do some habits stick and others fade? It’s not about willpower — it’s about identity. In this episode, Mary explores the power of group culture, the psychology of belonging, and why “people like us do things like this” might be the most life-changing phrase you’ve never considered.
You’ll learn why culture always beats strategy, how rituals reinforce who you really are, and why becoming a Merriment Maker is less about rules and more about joyful rebellion. Plus, Mary shares how her free Positive Pulse community can help you embody joy — without pressure or perfection.
💛 Bonus resources for this episode — including rituals, journal prompts, and a downloadable guide — are available exclusively in the Positive Pulse. Join for free and explore what it means to create your own culture of joy.
