With New Year’s resolutions fast approaching, a Buffalo ‘divorce coach’ is starting a new tradition of her own, replacing the typical ‘bucket list’ with a ‘f**k it list.’
Leah Marie Mazur, 41, is sharing the concept with everyone after it’s worked out so well in her personal life.
Mazur runs Mindfully Ready LLC, which offers tips for divorcees in ‘helping you heal, co-parent with confidence, and find the peace + happiness you deserve.’
What’s known as the bucket list, immortalized in a 2007 film starring Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson, is meant to be a checklist of things to do before you die.
‘Those are all things you have to say f**k it I am done,’ Mazur says of the ‘f**k it list,’ which are things she’s promised to stop doing before her life is over.

She describes the list as things and types of people someone can take out of their life in order to achieve balance.
‘You’ve got to have that f**k it list — meaning for you to reach those goals and be the person you want to be, you need to think about what you no longer need to tolerate,’ she said.
‘What do you need to let go of? What beliefs are keeping you stuck? What habits are holding you back?’
Some of her personal goals include not worrying about the opinions of others, refusing talk negatively about herself and denying the belief that she won’t find true love.
Mazur got divorced for a second time in 2018 and began work on the list in an attempt to make her life less chaotic and negative, according to the New York Post.
‘I am only saying yes to things that are going to get me closer to where I want to be and who I want to be moving forward.’
In an attempt to live out her list, she said she got rid of ‘people in my life who do not respect me or honor my boundaries.’
‘I think especially as women, we are a lot more likely to tolerate behavior that negatively impacts your well-being because we feel obligated or feel guilt if we don’t,’ Mazur said.

‘That was something I had to learn the hard way and to say I only want healthy relationships in my life from this point forward.’
The list is a part of an attempt to grow healthier in a more physical sense as well, as she quit alcohol and caffeine.
Mazur also began working out more to try and improve both her physical and mental state at the same time.
‘As I was tuning into myself and being honest with myself, I realized that those things didn’t make me feel good,’ she said.
She says she’s still in the middle of checking everything off her list but she’s in a constant state of self-improvement.
‘It is an ongoing process, it is not necessarily something that you can just tick off and then say “OK, that is done”,’ said Mazur.
‘It is something that you want to be adding onto as you go.’
