Welcome to Pride month at Openly Spoken where all the guests are humans from the LGBTQIA+ community! This week's guest is award winning PR coach, Maria Eilersen.

Maria is also a yoga teacher and the founder of Be Conscious PR where she empowers heart-centered entrepreneurs to get the recognition they deserve in the media so they can reach millions of people and make a bigger impact.

With over a decade of experience working across agency, freelance and in-house roles in the industry, including heading up global PR for a multi-million dollar travel company, as well as 350+ hours of yoga teacher training under her belt, Maria’s approach is both grounded in a lot of experience and a uniquely conscious view of PR.

She’s been featured in places like Business Insider, Yahoo! News, Popsugar and more, and was awarded Europe’s 2021 Impactful Founder of the Year by Acquisition International.

In this chat we talk about the male gaze, paradoxes in yoga, representation, you'll hear Maria's coming out story, and more.
