Hey there! I’m Mary, the face behind Soyleaf. I reside in San Diego, California, where I share my stories on self-love and how it continues to shape my life.
Soyleaf started as a place to document my journey through self-love. It sprouted after a slew of painful heartbreaks over the years… when I finally decided that it was time to walk away from the kind of “love” that didn’t support my growth and walking towards a stronger love with myself was the best thing I could have done for my life. I realized that the soulmate I was searching for was myself all along. Thus, began my journey of turning heartbreak into healing.
The more I shared my story, the more people reached out to tell me how they felt connected to what I had to say.
This blog is for you.

While this self-love journey is my own, the things I learn and share along the way are made for you. Writing has always been a source of tranquility for me and I’m grateful to share my experiences and research to create a space that connects us together to our own relationships with self-love.
Self-love is hard and it’s far from perfect. I’m still learning, evolving, and growing. I’d love for you to join me.
Always,
Mary
