👋 Hey there! I’m Maria and I’m beginning again.
For decades, my goal was to help others achieve their goals. I looked good on paper—succeeding at my job, in a happy relationship, and living the high-rise city life. But behind the scenes I was in a constant swirl of disassociating and anxiety attacks.
After I read Untamed by Glennon Doyle, I realized I’d become an unrecognizable shell of myself. I became determined to finally hear my own voice—the voice that’s been silent for decades.
I went back to therapy and started unpacking my trauma-filled childhood. I’m still discovering how it’s all affecting me each day as an adult. Being on this healing “rollercoaster” takes more strength and dedication than I ever imagined.
So, for the first time, instead of emptying myself for others’ goals, I’m putting that energy into mine. This YouTube channel is a space for me to keep figuring that out. The road ahead is a more unplanned than I’m used to, but I’m feeling more confident and free to explore. I’m ready to discover what truly knowing and trusting myself could be like.
Welcome to the beginning of an unplanned adventure!
