UPDATE! Here’s what Mary’s been up to since “Lessons” came out. From her bio at  The Bigger Game speakers bureau: “Perhaps the result of the many years she spent working in and successfully navigating her place in a difficult and highly visible industry, it seemed only natural for Mary McDonough to reach out to others. Thus, her work began as a life coach, public speaker and activist. In fact, she spent 10 years lobbying congress on behalf of women’s health. After experiencing and overcoming her own health crisis, she began performing hands-on work to help others heal their health, spirits and lives. As a sought-after speaker and workshop leader, Mary helps individuals with personal change, create life balance, and return to a sense of self. Her workshop, “Body Branding, Getting Comfortable with the Skin You’re In” examines how we can undo the negativity about ourselves and change the picture you offer of yourself to the world.”
