One focused conversation.

One hour. Real relief.

When life starts spinning faster than you can think,

you don’t need another to‑do list. You need triage.

There are moments when the noise is too much.
When you’re staring at your screen, inbox, or ceiling at 2 a.m., wondering how everything got so tangled.

You’ve read the books, tried the breathing, listened to the podcasts.
But this isn’t about needing more information.
This is about needing a clear next step — right now.

Maybe you’re juggling too many priorities and can’t tell what actually matters.
Maybe a relationship, job, or big decision has you second‑guessing everything.
Or maybe you’re just tired of managing chaos and pretending you’re fine.

This isn’t an emergency room situation.
But it’s serious enough that you can’t keep “pushing through.”

You need a calm, capable voice in the storm. Someone who can help you see what’s really going on and what to do next.

Overwhelm doesn’t come from having too much to do.
It comes from not knowing what to do next.

When you’re in the swirl, clarity feels impossible, like trying to solve a puzzle while the pieces are still falling.


That’s where the Life Triage Hotline comes in.

This isn’t therapy, and it’s not a pep talk.
It’s a guided clarity session that helps you stabilize the moment, identify what matters most, and move forward with confidence.

In just one hour, we’ll calm the chaos, untangle the noise, and define your next right step.

The Life Triage Hotline

A 60‑minute, one‑on‑one clarity and problem‑solving session designed to help you:

- Get out of mental and emotional triage mode

- Cut through the swirl of decisions, doubt, and pressure

- Identify the real issue underneath the overwhelm

- Leave with crystal‑clear next steps for the week ahead

Because sometimes, control starts with a single clear choice.

After your Life Triage session, you’ll:

  • Feel lighter and clearer; the fog finally lifts.

  • Know exactly what matters most this week and what can wait.

  • Replace the panic spiral with grounded focus.

  • Regain a sense of calm confidence that you can handle whats next.

  • Leave with a plan you can actually follow no worksheets, no homework, just clarity.

How It Works

You’ll book your 60‑minute call directly with me, Dr. Mary Barnes.
We’ll meet one‑on‑one via Zoom to triage your current challenge — whether it’s work stress, decision overload, or that feeling that everything is “too much.”

During our session, we’ll:

Stabilize the moment — calm the swirl so your brain can think clearly again.

Identify the root problem — not just the symptoms.

Clarify your next steps — so you know exactly what to do this week to move forward.

The session is recorded through Fathom, so you’ll automatically receive:

An AI‑generated transcript and summary of key insights and next steps

A full video replay you can revisit anytime you need a refresher.

You’ll leave the call with relief, direction, and a plan that feels doable, not daunting.

Hi, I'm Dr. Mary Barnes.

I’ve spent over two decades helping people and organizations find calm in chaos.


As a transformation strategist and human‑learning expert, I know how easy it is to get trapped in survival mode, reacting to fires instead of leading your

own life.

The Life Triage Hotline was born out of the moments I’ve seen most often: when smart, capable people just need someone to step in, listen without judgment, and help them sort what’s actually urgent from what’s just loud.

You don’t need to do this alone.
You just need an hour to kibitz, talk it out, and see clearly again.

Here's what you get when you book your call:

  • 60‑minute, one‑on‑one call with Dr. Mary Barnes

  • Personalized clarity and problem‑solving (no templates or scripts)

  • Recorded session with AI transcript and summary + full replay

  • Space to breathe, think, and decide without pressure

Your investment is just $247 (50% off the regular $497 rate).
Because sometimes, the fastest way forward is one hour of focused clarity.

Too busy for a 60‑minute call?
That’s exactly when it matters most. You’ll reclaim far more time than you spend once the swirl is gone.

Worried this will feel like therapy?
It’s not. It’s forward‑focused, practical, and rooted in action. We work with what’s in front of you and get you moving again.

Afraid it won’t stick?
You’ll leave with clarity that carries over into your week. Plus, the recording and summary so you can revisit it anytime you start to spin again. If you want 90 days of drumbeat-style accountability and nudging, check out the Super Nudge offering.

You don’t have to keep managing the chaos alone.
One conversation can change the week. And sometimes, that’s all it takes to start changing your life.

When everything feels urgent, give yourself the space to get clear.

That’s the Life Triage Hotline.


One call. One hour. Real relief.
