What’s Next After Opening the Box? 📦

Originally published on Mary McCorvey's Substack.

Dear Reader,

My debut this past May, Opening the Box, was never just a series. It was a revelation of the past. Of memory, of emotion, of the stories we keep tucked inside the folds of time. Over 11 issues, I revealed one letter at a time—and what emerged was something quiet, intimate, and real.

Couldn’t have done this without everyone’s support! Join my growing community today…

Thank you to everyone who gave me such wonderful feedback about how the story touched them, in their own ways.

Now, the next chapter is here. Actually, it’s a book of 15 chapters.

Experience Over Expectation: Let Go of the Plan, Live on Your Terms, (September, 2025) draws from that same well of humanity.

My new book is a groundbreaking, first-of-its-kind memoir, with a huge twist. The book is a collaboration between my human memory and artificial intelligence.

Together, we tell the story of my life with real-time analysis from Eheye (yes, I gave it that name), an artificial intelligence co-narrator trained to analyze the raw, nonlinear story of how I resolved everything I was told to be, and became who I truly am.

Please take a look at this short video about why I wrote the book, and the surprising way it was constructed.

Eheye is actually an amalgam of five artificial intelligence platforms that I challenged again and again until I achieved the results I believe would be of interest and helpful to you. Together, we’ve written something nonlinear, bold, and deeply human.

It’s part memoir, part reckoning, and part invitation—a call to you as the reader to break with the myth of the perfect plan and embrace the truth of who you are.

📖 What You'll Find Inside

• 15 nonlinear chapters

• One woman’s story, analyzed by Artificial Intelligence

• A conversation between memory and meaning

• A guide to living your life—off-script and on purpose
