Hi, I’m Marin
Thank you for your curiosity to get to know me a little bit more. I have had a long journey from the shackles of overwhelming mental health struggles to a life and sense of self that I love, nurture and appreciate on a daily basis.
Below you will find an introduction video I created to share more about why I love Internal Family Systems and Somatics (and what that all means), my credentials, a link and blurb about my book Be The Change (2017), and some podcast episodes I have hosted or have been interviewed on. You can also find current content I have created on my instagram page (@dopeame) or youtube channel.
Reach out with questions to marinmccue@gmail.com. I would love to connect.

Here’s a blurb from my book…
I lead by example with vulnerability and creativity, to inspire myself and others to step into their unique contribution in the world. So that's why I am here, and that's what I intend to share with you ;).
This is my story of struggle and triumph as I faced my toxic relationship with food, my turmoil with religion, my obsession and debilitating relationship with death, and my extreme negative self-talk that was my “normal” for most of my life. Ultimately, this is the story of how I practiced my way into a new state of being.
Mental Health affects us all. I have learned that when I share from my heart and create a conversation around meaning, purpose, freedom, tools, exercises and how to practice, we all benefit and evolve into the best version of ourselves. With support and leading by example, I pave the way for you to re-frame your life's story to become a source of power and growth. We all have a story, and when we retrain our brain to align with our core - rather than who we have been habituated, programmed or traumatized into being - we get to create a unique impact that is our privilege and birth right.
