Real words from real Merriment Makers
Cheaper Than Therapy
β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…
These are the kind of tools that people go to therapy for. For most people, actual therapy is not accessible in the way that this is. The tools you can learn are things you would get in that setting. I think that in itself is worth it to me.

Only Membership I’ve Kept
β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…
There’s so many memberships out there. Most I dip out after 1–3 months. But I’ve kept my membership for 6 years. The community is so refreshing! Others who embrace their authentic weirdness. My life is honestly so much brighter.

You Could Stay for Years
β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…
I don’t think it’s obvious the depth of information and resources that are actually in this group on the outside. If you interact with people, this can be as immersive as you want it to be. You could go for years and just deep dive into all the stuff.

So Much to Offer!
β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…
I don’t know if there’s even any other groups out there that exist like this. Having the ability to go beyond their own internal work and do some one on one coaching; if that’s something they need for a particular point in their life.

This is one of the best and most cost effective things you can do to take care of yourself. Mary’s creativity never ceases to amaze me, a 68 year old woman. Mary is full of light and love, without being unrealistic. Laugh until you cry.

Optimized or Overwhelmed? What a Day in Gen Z’s Life Really Looks Like
