FULL SHOW DETAILS:
You want to fully experience and savor your one & precious life... but you're a little stuck?
YOUR PERSONAL STORIES ARE THE ANTIDOTE.
⭐️⭐️⭐️
STORY WORK is something we gift ourselves and we can model for our children now, so they don't believe the same LIE many of us did growing up:
⇢ get good grades = get into a good college = get a good job = happy life.
In reality, that's a recipe for a cookie-cutter, safe and settled life—one you believe must be your best life (you did everything "right" after all)... Meanwhile, you're baffled over why you don't feel as appreciative and happy as you "should." It's because of conditioning: cultural, societal, and generational.
⚡️
Use your personal stories to unlearn conditioned beliefs and heighten the meaningfulness + aliveness in your day-to-day.
That's when you'll:
🔥 be mind-blown by your own life!
🔥 wake up with less, "what do I HAVE to do today?" and more "what do I GET to do today?"
🔥 experience meaningfulness and aliveness as your natural state of mind—much like untethered childhood.
Isn't that what we want for our children, our loved ones, and for ourselves?
🎧
DANGEROUSLY GOOD STORIES, HOSTED BY MARIE MASSE, WILL GUIDE YOU DEEPER INTO YOUR STORIES.
In these episodes, Marie unearths tiny, personal stories from guests, listeners, and her own life a couple times a month.
She dials into hidden opportunities within each story, so you can tap into your own stories for healing, self-trust, connection, meaningfulness, and even profit.
🌱 🦹🏼 ✨ 💌 💰
Whether you're:
- a person with family (you're a parent / grandparent / friend / sibling / or someone's child)
- a writer / photographer / creative / memory-keeper / family historian
- a teacher / coach / therapist
- a member of Congress
- or a service professional / CEO / business owner
you have overlooked stories (and therefore: unclaimed opportunities)—GUARANTEED.
Listen in.
✨
You'll start seeing more of your stories everywhere... and never see them in the same way again. Promise.
🎙
ABOUT THE HOST:
Marie's been self-experimenting and teaching this story work since 2013.
Her own stories led her family to their "Masse Mountain" forest oasis—which is much more than a simple place.
She's also an author, photographer, actively unschooling her kids, and navigating ADHD for herself & her son.
