HI, I'M MARY GALLAGHER
High Performance Coach
Keynote Speaker
WORKSHOP LEADER
Champion of your cherished dreams
This space is dedicated to reimagining success.
To help you come home to yourself.
To live a life that’s aligned on the inside—not just polished on the outside.
​
It’s about taking your boldest dreams seriously—without taking yourself so seriously in the process.
Living with intention, not obligation.
Working hard for what matters—and resting without guilt.
​
Here, we pause. We check in.
We remember we get to choose our response.
And yeah, sometimes we still blow up.
We’re human. This isn’t about being perfect.
It’s about noticing, choosing, and trying again.
​
We say no to what drains us and yes to what lights us up.
We untangle old stories. Rewrite the rules. Trust our gut again.
​
We believe in twinkling eyes and brave hearts.
In soulful strategy.
In starting before we feel ready.
In laughing hard, healing deep, and honoring the life that’s calling us forward.
Because high performance doesn’t have to mean high pressure.
​And your life? It’s meant to be lived on your terms.
REAL TALK, REAL COACH
WHAT I'M loving
When someone says, “I’ve never said that out loud before.” Clients who go from maybe someday to doing it now.
Tennis with my partner—because a little competition keeps things spicy. Wisteria climbing wild like it knows something we don’t. Celtic ancestral music on repeat.
WHAT I'M learning
That slowing down doesn’t mean falling behind.
That reinvention isn’t a crisis—it’s a calling.
That watching your parents age is both grounding and gutting. That compassion beats criticism every time and ease is a practice, not a reward.
WHAT I'M not about
I’ve been an athlete, a teacher, a coach and a woman who’s burned out and rebuilt more than once.
I don’t coach from a pedestal. I coach from lived experience, deep training, and a whole lot of heart.
If you’re here to do the work—the honest, human, life-changing kind—I’m all in.
I know what it’s like to lose momentum—and to come back stronger. To look successful on the outside while quietly questioning everything. To crave change, but not know where to start.
This work is personal to me because I’ve lived the reinventions. I’ve learned that growth isn’t linear, confidence isn’t a constant, and sometimes the strongest thing you can do is ask for help.
​
So if you're in a season of rebuilding, reconnecting, or reaching for something bigger—I see you. You don’t have to do it alone.
Saying yes when we really mean no. Outsourcing my wisdom—or yours. Trying to perform when we’re sick. Giving up on dreams just because they feel impossible. Measuring our worth by how much we get done. Being a sore loser. Pretending I don't doom scroll.
WHAT I'M healing
Perfectionism—and all her well-dressed, overachieving cousins. The need to get it right the first time.
The habit of suppression instead of feeling the feeling.
Overthinking, overthinking, overthinking.
That tiny voice that says rest is still something to be earned.
WHAT I'M believing
That it’s never too late to dream again and we get unlimited do-overs. Joy, ease, and fun aren’t extras—they’re the fuel.
That you’re allowed to want more—even if it’s already good.
That we’re here to learn, grow, heal, and love—
and that challenges support us in ways comfort never will.
Let's do doing differently
and create miracles in

KAREN STARTED SPEAKING ON STAGE
"It was like stepping into a sanctuary of clarity and unwavering belief in what’s possible."
Mary doesn’t just guide you—she empowers you to reconnect with your own inner wisdom. She gently challenges the stories you’ve been telling yourself while providing practical tools that are both transformative and achievable. Every session felt like an awakening, reminding me that I am capable of so much more than I realized.
Working with her has been one of the most life-affirming experiences I’ve ever had, and I’ll forever be grateful for her wisdom, kindness, and unwavering support.
ANNA GOT ENGAGED, RESTARTED HER BIZ & MUCH MORE
"I had dreams, but I had convinced myself none of them would actually happen. Now I am excited to list them out and brainstorm steps to keep working on each one.
Mary showed me that I have choices in my career and my relationships. She is warm but demanding, and she pushed me to see that I (and only I) can create the life that I want. I signed up for and ran two 5K's- something I had never done before. I challenged myself to be on time to appointments in all areas of my life, and actually did it. I expanded my own financial coaching business and got serious about it after years of dabbling. Mary taught me specific ways to reach out to people, start conversations, and expand my client list. She gave me so much new language that I feel confident using- not salesly, but genuine and interested in others and their stories. I'm so thankful for everything that I learned in working with Mary.
