Hi there!

Welcome to Following Sparks - where you wake up, break free, and take your damn life back.

I’m Mary, and I know exactly what it means to feel stuck. Not just confused stuck, but the kind of stuck that seeps into every part of your present, past, and even earlier generations. Woah.


For over 20 years, I lived in emotional and financial abuse.

Slowly, piece by piece, I lost myself—my voice, my instincts, my ability to even feel joy. The world told me to “just move on,” but no one gave me a map. No one told me that feeling lost wasn’t a personal failure—it was the result of a system built to keep me right where I was.


Then one day, after countless failed attempts to “fix” myself, I stopped looking for grand solutions. Instead, I started looking for sparks. Tiny, fleeting moments of real emotion—rage, joy, clarity, truth. And I followed them.

Now, I’m here to help you do the same.


Following Sparks isn’t about “finding yourself.” You were never lost. You were trained to forget who you are.


It's about the small, daily acts of courage that lead us back to ourselves.


It's about creating space in our lives for growth, rediscovering our passions, and building a life of purpose and joy - one tiny spark at a time.
