I believed it without question, because every time I see you on camera I think you're about 10-15 years younger than you say you are lol Mary with the fountain of youth on here!
@@jillianvest7254I don’t think she posted the whole thing plus her channel is not that popular this isn’t a TikTok famous person so it doesn’t make sense to post her videos for clout
@@jillianvest7254not at all, julieta kindve has certain weeks (usually called ‘theme’ of the week, where all of her asmr content for that week is based off of the theme chosen) or days where she uploads specific content and one of those is ‘throwback thursday’, where she uploads a video thats a little older and has helped her sleep/relax in the past. she gave southernsounds full credit in her caption and in the video!! in no way did she ever claim it was hers or try to upload it for her own personal gain, more-so as a recommendation for other asmr enjoyers 😊
“If you’re going through it right now in life, remember it can’t rain forever”. I love that saying, and needed to hear it in this moment. Thank you. Sometimes when we’re in it, it’s so hard to see past it. I appreciate you Mary. You’re a kind soul.
You remind me of Phoebe from friends, and she is my favorite character 😂 She is so sweet, kind, she has unique experiences that make her her. And you honestly resemble her too!
My second marriage was most definitely a "what was I on for 8 entire years" moment. You are not alone. I remember the day I realized I didn't have to put up with that waste of air space anymore, it was so liberating! I made him file and when they served my papers to me at work I ran up and hugged the man, I told him he made my whole day!
If you are having issues with men you are most likely the problem, you are attracting those type of men in your life cause you are probably a nutcase yourself
"Be careful who you marry," it is so sad that it needs to be said! Whether you're marrying someone in a rush for religious reasons, or you're just naive enough to think you can KNOW someone is your soulmate after just a few months... there is literally zero harm in waiting. If the relationship is gonna last, it will not matter if you're married in 5 years or not, because you'll be together. If it's not gonna last, then you're gonna be really happy you're NOT married in 5 years.
@@terrifier-7 sure that is also a factor... But most people go into marriage with the best of intentions, truly believing it will work out. But it takes time to discover if someone is compatible.
my sister and my brother in law got married like a few months in their relationship back in 2010ish. and they’re still holding strong. everyone and their marriage is different but of course, always think about what you’re putting yourself into
@@QueenJess2k05 you never know. Like I said, in 5 years if you're still together it's not gonna matter that you didn't get married 5 years ago. But if in 5 years you're broken up, you'll regret it if you were married. So waiting would not have hurt their relationship. But I'm glad it worked out.
I love listening to mature/older women talk about their life and sharing their wealth of experience ♥️ society is so negative towards women over 40, but in reality they carry all of us on their shoulders and have so much wisdom.
Fellow long-time watchers of this channel might remember "Danny" as the "Wicked Witch of the East." I know you've shared some of this story before, but hearing it all put together was a wild ride! I'm always amazed and inspired at your resiliency through all of the crazy times life's thrown at you and very happy to have you here sharing it all with us! I'm also not on TikTok, so I had no idea you'd gone viral on there, but welcome to all the new Mary fans from TikTok!
My first and only marriage, I actually cried when I was walking back down the aisle. Everyone thought it was because I was happy and overwhelmed but it was because I realized “What have I done?!!”. Stayed faaaar too long.
I had the exact same experience! And my photographer got a pic of me hugging my father and crying. From the outside I’m sure it appeared to be tears of joy but every time I see that photo I remember the panic and dread I was feeling at that moment.
I’m marrying my fiancé in three weeks time! We actually first met in primary school when we were about 5 or 6 years old. But then my best friend married my fiancés best friend, and we reconnected at their wedding. We’ve been together almost two years now, and he’s my absolute best friend and I couldn’t be luckier to have him.
As someone who left a cult, thanks for sharing your story it took me running away to realize that’s what it was. And even then it took me a long time to fully grasp it. But it’s so much better on the other side.
My face when you said a woman from the church was given a key to YOUR home 😮 I’m so glad you’re in a safe space now ❤️ love you and your videos! Xxxxxx
Been here for at least 6 years, and you so deserve any and all new POSITIVE attention. Here for the growth just like I was here for the teeny tiny community we were then. Nobody else could make me watch organizing shelves and have me on the hook the whole time. Go Mary go!!
please do more of these, you're only person who's stories I actually like listening to. I've been watching your videos for years and enjoy them immensely and enjoyed listening to this in the background
Genuinely Mary your resilience, grace, sense of humor, and whole outlook on life is such an inspiration to me. You continue to inspire me to live more authentically, what a gem you are ❤
I’ve been a subscriber of yours for years, but I did see that Julietta ASMR had posted one of your videos so I believe this is where the new subs may have come from!!🫶🏼
i will never understand people who abuse others and minors yet have the gall to chastise other people over things that they probably don’t even believe in themselves. i am so glad you escaped and are living your best life, mary! ❤️
this story time was literally insane. you should definitely do more. I would love to hear about anything you’d like to share. I love asmr and this was perfect to listen while I did my homework.
The person who recommended your channel is Julieta ASMR and she's on RUclips too! I was happy to see you recommended on my fyp because you really deserve the recognition 💗💗
Wow Mary, you have been through a real tragedy, that was hell! Honestly this story was very scary, at the beginning of the video I would have never imagined you would have talked about something like that. I feel like those evil people exploited your naïvity and youth and I feel like you have encounterd a lot of evil in your life. I am so happy you successfully overcomed all of this ❤
I don’t think I’ll ever get married. And before anyone says I will I genuinely don’t want to 😂 The thought of sharing my bed long term with someone and not having my own space actually makes me feel sick. I value my alone time, feel like it doesn’t get normalised enough. Nothing wrong with being alone especially if it makes you happier than being with someone.
Until you feel like you love someone. I just broke up with my girlfriend 3 days ago and I really miss waking up in bed with her. When she fell asleep with her head on my chest and her arm on me was the best and went straight to my heart every time. For someone to sleep so soundly like that made me feel so good like I made her feel so comfortable. Especially she has had trouble sleeping for a long time but every time I'm with her when it was time to sleep she had no problem. To me those things are what I miss. This was my first weekend alone and I feel lost and alone. I go into stores and I see couples walking around picking things out and laughing and I miss it. I feel like I don't have a purpose now.
Same here! I love having my own space! People spend sooo much money on weddings too 😮 I know a few people who were still paying for the wedding when they were getting divorced!
I got married at 33 and I new I shouldn't have on the day. Found out after almost 3 years he cheated with my "friend" in our bed and took money we had saved for IVF still don't no what he spent it on. Been married to my current husband almost 6 years and he's my absolute missing piece. We now have our miracle little boy and I couldn't imagine life any other way
Wow....I've been watching your channel for a few years now. Knew you were in a "cult" back in the day but always wondered what it was all about. I realize that was very personal but thank you for sharing. It was VERY interesting. You are a worldly woman who has obviously experienced so much. Kudos to you!!! Again, thank you for sharing that story.
I had wondered for a long time if you and ‘Glenda’ were still together or just good friends. I think it’s lovely you have found three balance that makes it work for you all. ❤
As someone about to get married for the first time very soon, I clicked so fast!! I look to you for fun and sincere advice so often! I love your life stories and advice videos. ❤
Congrats!! My husband and I got married 10 months ago and marriage is truly the BEST! It will challenge you and grow you so much but just depend on the Lord and stay strong and fight for each other. Get wisdom from wise married friends. Marriage is truly such a sweet gift!!!
Mary, I feel you on being in bad relationships and feel dumb looking back. You excuse a lot of red flags when you're "in love" sometimes. Im older and wiser now, I can't live in regret for my poor choices as a teenager/young adult then, but I sure as hell can not allow it to happen again.
I’ve watched this video 4 times but kept falling asleep, so I kept rewatching to finish the story. I love this type of content from you Mary, just sitting down for a story time, it’s so relaxing to listen to, wether I’m sleeping or getting ready in the morning. Please do more videos like this, perhaps talking about your second and third marriage. 😃
I’m going through a divorce right now! I’m 28 been in a 8 year relationship. I feel so disappointed in myself for marrying this person & felt like I made the biggest mistake of my life.. literally beat myself up about it daily 😢.. Thank you for this video you really lifted me up and made me feel better. This process has been so hard but you made me feel more positive about going through this Phase. Thank you so much ❤
oh, wow, mary. every video you upload just makes me respect you even more. you are so strong, and the fact that you're able to look back on such a situation and see the humour only cements that further. as a young woman myself, having someone who uploads videos that are real, candid and advice that is so so useful! I've been watching your channel for a few years and just wanted to thank you ❤
Just popped up in my feed for the first time. Lovely tone of voice. Glad you’re doing your own thing. I can’t handle the fake quiet whispering. No one speaks like that normally. It hurts my brain. I like a natural soft voice. Thank you!
Omg! I had a terrible relationship when I was 19 years old and sounds similar to this. We weren’t married but he was always wanting me to buy him things, he had no job, lost his car, in trouble with police. I feel like I use to be a very helpful caring person and felt bad for people. I’m 30 now and there’s no way I’d be a babysitter to someone again 😂
me too!!!! from when i was 16-20… and he was TWO years older than me but he treated me like i was his mommy. and i cant believe i allowed it for so long. i could have been saving my money😡
Oh my goodness this could be a Netflix special, Mary! What an experience, Im glad you got out of the cult. Im gonna be buying your book because this was just fascinating. Thanks for sharing your story with us.
I wanna hear more about your current relationship! I love the transparency on that situation and how y’all were able to continue relationship after ending your marriage. That’s honestly really beautiful
i absolutely love your strength and your very "i do what i like!" attitude. it is always so inspiring to me. im only 19 but as i get older i realize that's a good attitude to have. do what you like, do it well, and don't try to impress others by doing what is popular. much love to you mary ^_^

You give me so much hope! You are so strong and wise and I love how you can look back now and laugh. I so needed this today.
This made me go back and look to see how long I've been following you... 8 years!! Almost since the beginning! Love the vibes and the Southern accent, makes me homesick for North Carolina (lived there for a few years back in the day). You do you, Mary!
Mary, I think you are my favorite person on this planet. Going through all of that in your early life, having the courage to leave, and still having such a large heart and be full of joy...😁
been watching you for almost 4 years now - i don't usually leave a comment - but i just wanted to say you deserve all the recognition you get and will continue getting!
You and your younger son look just a like! Thank you for this video! Been following you since maybe 2017 and i love hearing more about your life. Your videos and chats have gotten me through a lot! You’re amazing Mary! Thanks for all you do! ❤
Six years for me,enjoying you.I rembember how I found you,trying to sleep and you were mixing some juice powder in watter bottles,different flavours...I was immediately hooked and then getting to know the amazing woman you are has been a pleasure❤❤❤❤
As a woman on married for the third time (and it is definitely the charm) I found this video very interesting and fun to listen to. Dare we ask for a. #2 video? I find you very relatable and the voice knocks me out. Took me hours to finish this video. 👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Listened to “River Road” years ago and really enjoyed Mary reading it, and remember the parts that you broke down when reading, knowing you had lived those and remembered, it was moving.
“I want him to eat; just not at my table.” 🤔 It’s the first time I’ve heard this, but I’ll definitely be using it in the future. It says a lot without having to say a lot. Mary, thank you for sharing your story. He tried to gaslight and condition you. You stood up for yourself, not only with him but his entire religious community. That shows tremendous strength. I think it’s important that you shared your story. Hopefully it inspires others in situations of abuse to see that they can leave a terrible situation and come out better and stronger on the other side of it. ❤️
Long time subscriber...I've heard parts of this story from your other videos, but hearing the whole thing-- this is WILD. My goodness. So glad you got away.
I’ve been here since 2019 and your channel has been the BEST CHANNEL to listen to and watch. I tell everyone about your channel. My favourite videos are your shop organisation videos. I’m British and your soft spoken southern accent is like music to my ears👂❤
Lone Ranger is a perfect descriptor, and I am so happy to have been here for many years now because of your style to do whatever the heck you want! Love your humor and content so much
Ah yes. I’ve had the pleasure of working with this cult. Everything you’ve said is true. I live in the UK and had some very strange experiences with them. I honestly applaud you for staying strong through your experience with them. I made friends with a girl who was in the church, we were very close working together but could never be friends due to me not being from the church. The heartbreaking things she told me made my cry at night. So many awful things they concealed just to look like good, god obeying people. It’s truly so sad. The kids have no life. Thankyou for sharing your story, you’re a brave lady! ❤️
I'm sorry if I misspoke about my age in the pictures with my uncle. They were taken about 30 years ago. I was not 30 years old in the pictures.
I was thinking wow you were looking amazing at 30, so young! Hope this is ok to say Mary 😊
Beautiful ,honest and inspiring ❤ you have no idea how much this has resignated with myself. Thanks Mary ❤️
may i ask how old you were? you look so pretty!
Thanks for sharing! Do you still have family still involved with the church?
I believed it without question, because every time I see you on camera I think you're about 10-15 years younger than you say you are lol Mary with the fountain of youth on here!

I need to get that!
Mary I am definitely buying a copy of the first book. After hearing your story I'm so intrigued to know more.
I’m going through a divorce right now! I’m 28 been in a 8 year relationship. I feel so disappointed in myself for marrying this person & felt like I made the biggest mistake of my life.. literally beat myself up about it daily 😢.. Thank you for this video you really lifted me up and made me feel better. This process has been so hard but you made me feel more positive about going through this Phase. Thank you so much ❤
Better now than never! Keep moving forward, you're doing the best you can and that's more than enough. Wishing you all the best on your journey ❤
Wishing you strength and happiness ❤️
oh, wow, mary. every video you upload just makes me respect you even more. you are so strong, and the fact that you're able to look back on such a situation and see the humour only cements that further. as a young woman myself, having someone who uploads videos that are real, candid and advice that is so so useful! I've been watching your channel for a few years and just wanted to thank you ❤
Just popped up in my feed for the first time. Lovely tone of voice. Glad you’re doing your own thing. I can’t handle the fake quiet whispering. No one speaks like that normally. It hurts my brain. I like a natural soft voice. Thank you!
Omg! I had a terrible relationship when I was 19 years old and sounds similar to this. We weren’t married but he was always wanting me to buy him things, he had no job, lost his car, in trouble with police. I feel like I use to be a very helpful caring person and felt bad for people. I’m 30 now and there’s no way I’d be a babysitter to someone again 😂
me too!!!! from when i was 16-20… and he was TWO years older than me but he treated me like i was his mommy. and i cant believe i allowed it for so long. i could have been saving my money😡
Oh my goodness this could be a Netflix special, Mary! What an experience, Im glad you got out of the cult. Im gonna be buying your book because this was just fascinating. Thanks for sharing your story with us.
yes I want to read her book now too!!!
there is a Netflix series based on her cult. the leader is called Warren Jeffs
We all have a story (or two). I’m glad you made it through.
what’s your skin care routine?? your skin looks AMAZING!!
I wanna hear more about your current relationship! I love the transparency on that situation and how y’all were able to continue relationship after ending your marriage. That’s honestly really beautiful
i absolutely love your strength and your very "i do what i like!" attitude. it is always so inspiring to me. im only 19 but as i get older i realize that's a good attitude to have. do what you like, do it well, and don't try to impress others by doing what is popular. much love to you mary ^_^

I haven’t watched one of your videos in years, but I’m so glad you popped up on my feed. I am currently going through a divorce, 6 months down in the required year of separation in NC. You give me so much hope! You are so strong and wise and I love how you can look back now and laugh. I so needed this today.
This made me go back and look to see how long I've been following you... 8 years!! Almost since the beginning! Love the vibes and the Southern accent, makes me homesick for North Carolina (lived there for a few years back in the day). You do you, Mary!
wow!! what a story!! you are so strong for getting through that. ❤️
side note- the sound of your bracelet is divine 😍
It’s so cool to learn so much more about your past after being such a long time follower!!
Mary, I think you are my favorite person on this planet. Going through all of that in your early life, having the courage to leave, and still having such a large heart and be full of joy...😁
been watching you for almost 4 years now - i don't usually leave a comment - but i just wanted to say you deserve all the recognition you get and will continue getting!
i’m going through an extremely messy breakup right now and seeing this makes me feel a lot better about the situation.. thank you mary❤️
"I do what I wanna do every single day." This is how I want to feel about creating content. I found that very inspiring!
Mary please make this a series! ❤
You and your younger son look just a like! Thank you for this video! Been following you since maybe 2017 and i love hearing more about your life. Your videos and chats have gotten me through a lot! You’re amazing Mary! Thanks for all you do! ❤
6:12 What a most gorgeous girl! Your whole face was showing what a tender , kind and sweet heart you had and still have!
“Everyone Wanted To Hear Me Talk”- Mary
It appears we still do😂
I love ASMR with speaking rather than whispering. Thank you! This was wonderful
Six years for me,enjoying you.I rembember how I found you,trying to sleep and you were mixing some juice powder in watter bottles,different flavours...I was immediately hooked and then getting to know the amazing woman you are has been a pleasure❤❤❤❤
No one can ever say you lived a boring life! Celebrate you!
Wow! You are a captivating storyteller.
I read/listened to you read River Road and it has seriously stuck with me, even years later. It’s truly one of my favorite books
We love you Mary! It’s about time you got blessed by the algorithm!
There are people who are just naturally gifted to do ASMR, and you're def one of them, just subscribed!
As a woman on married for the third time (and it is definitely the charm) I found this video very interesting and fun to listen to. Dare we ask for a. #2 video? I find you very relatable and the voice knocks me out. Took me hours to finish this video. 👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I love your authenticity especially in this video… thank you for the baller content, Mary!
Love you Mary for saying that things get better. I had the worst panic attack ever today, I really needed this.
I hope the rest of the day goes better! ❤️
Listened to “River Road” years ago and really enjoyed Mary reading it, and remember the parts that you broke down when reading, knowing you had lived those and remembered, it was moving.
“I want him to eat; just not at my table.” 🤔 It’s the first time I’ve heard this, but I’ll definitely be using it in the future. It says a lot without having to say a lot. Mary, thank you for sharing your story. He tried to gaslight and condition you. You stood up for yourself, not only with him but his entire religious community. That shows tremendous strength. I think it’s important that you shared your story. Hopefully it inspires others in situations of abuse to see that they can leave a terrible situation and come out better and stronger on the other side of it. ❤️
Mesmerising. Thank you so much Mary. I literally cannot wait for the sequels. The stories of marriages TWO and THREE. PLEASE!
I won't be talking about marriage two. Not much fun stuff to talk about there.
yay for mary lore! i watch your other channel sometimes and i enjoy listening to you rant about life. :)
Thank you so much for sharing and showing the pictures! I loved the video :)
Long time subscriber...I've heard parts of this story from your other videos, but hearing the whole thing-- this is WILD. My goodness. So glad you got away.
The car bit made me gasp...the audacity he had to try to sell your car like that! 😨
I’ve been here since 2019 and your channel has been the BEST CHANNEL to listen to and watch.
I tell everyone about your channel.
My favourite videos are your shop organisation videos.
I’m British and your soft spoken southern accent is like music to my ears👂❤
Lone Ranger is a perfect descriptor, and I am so happy to have been here for many years now because of your style to do whatever the heck you want! Love your humor and content so much
Ah yes. I’ve had the pleasure of working with this cult. Everything you’ve said is true. I live in the UK and had some very strange experiences with them. I honestly applaud you for staying strong through your experience with them. I made friends with a girl who was in the church, we were very close working together but could never be friends due to me not being from the church. The heartbreaking things she told me made my cry at night. So many awful things they concealed just to look like good, god obeying people. It’s truly so sad. The kids have no life. Thankyou for sharing your story, you’re a brave lady! ❤️
