Episode 84: Mary Dibble lives a life of purpose

Mary Dibble is a life coach who helps busy moms live better lives by prioritizing themselves and their needs, allowing them to show up fully not just for themselves but others, too.

Her life started with adversity that taught her a great deal of resilience. Growing up with financial insecurity with a single mom and an absentee father, she had low self-esteem and felt like she was desperate for attention from others. This led her down the path of substance abuse. Through finding a new connection with spirituality and being saved by God, she was motivated to become sober, though this was not an easy path for her. She found herself in an abusive relationship but thankfully was able to leave it. Her next relationship ended when she became pregnant and refused to have an abortion. However, she says her son saved her life. He was the biggest motivation she had ever had to finally get sober and put her life on the track for her success and healing.

Since then, she received her own life changing mentoring through a life coach, became a life coach herself, found her soulmate, and had had two more children. Her life has completely turned around and she credits that to the many turning points she has had that pushed her further and further along the path, closer to her goals. By learning that she was worthy of what she wanted out of life, she has found she’s become a better mom and partner, and has been able to help others do the same.

Key highlights:

• Her son was her most powerful motivator to get sober and she has been ever since. “He taught me love I never really knew existed, he gave me purpose”.

• When she started focusing on the fact that she was the common denominator in many of the difficult aspects of her life, she realized she needed to work on herself and change things. This was pushed further by her experience with getting life coaching. It helped her realize that she was worthy of the things she wanted out of life.

• “I have a wonderful, healthy marriage that I never thought possible.” She does remind us that no relationship is perfect, however! Healthy relationships are all about good communication, compromising, and doing things for each other.

• She had always had a dream of helping people and receiving life coaching helped show her a potential path to that dream. She wanted to show people that they don’t have to be defined by their past or history and that they can change their lives.

• People, moms especially, need to prioritize their needs more. “You can’t pour from an empty cup”, Mary says, and notes that it’s difficult to take care of others when you’re burnt out and exhausted.

• She even says that many of us “hinder ourselves from really living life”.

• She worried people wouldn’t take her seriously because of her lack of a higher education. But she learned that she does have value to give to others through her own experiences in life. She is constantly learning and taking more classes to become a better life coach and help as many people as possible.
