The Merriment Making Podcast
I’m Mary England, also known as Uncustomary, founder of Uncustomary.org and creator of the Merriment Making Movement. This podcast is your invitation to step out of autopilot and into a life that feels vibrant, authentic, and joyful. Whether you’re a caregiver, a creative spirit, or someone who’s ready to reconnect with themselves, you’ll find practical tools, inspiring stories, and unique ways to embody, create, and share joy every day. Through my signature Merriment Making technique, I’ll help you embrace your weird, celebrate your inner child, and rediscover what it means to truly live on purpose. Join me each week to explore the art of joy-making and start building a life that feels just as good as it looks—because you deserve to thrive, not just survive. 🌟 Let’s make merriment together.
