Heal, Build and Become

What happens when you’ve built a life that looks successful—but you’re exhausted, constantly overthinking, and can’t remember the last time you truly relaxed?

In this episode of Heal, Build and Become, Maris sits down with Liz Coleman, a certified Transformational Life Coach, Mind Shifting and NLP practitioner, psychology graduate, and creator of the MindLife Reset™.

Liz works with high-achieving women who are always “on”—women who struggle to switch off, overthink decisions, feel guilty when they rest, and wonder why they still feel unsettled despite doing everything they’re supposed to do.

Liz shares how her own journey through a demanding C-suite career, relationship challenges, health struggles, therapy, medicine, and various wellness approaches eventually led her to develop a whole-person approach to transformation.

Together, Maris and Liz explore the deeper beliefs behind overthinking and achievement, why awareness alone may not create change, the connection between mind, body, and spirit, and how women can begin trusting themselves again without adding another overwhelming task to their lives.

This is a conversation about moving beyond simply looking successful—and learning how to actually feel well, present, and fulfilled in the life you’ve built.

What happens when the identity you’ve built your entire life around suddenly disappears?

In this episode of Heal, Build and Become, Maris sits down with transformational coach, hypnotherapist, NLP practitioner, and author Leo Dulay to explore identity, emotional patterns, and the possibility of reinventing yourself.

Leo spent 22 years at AT&T before being laid off in 2019. After eventually returning to work, he discovered that simply changing his circumstances didn’t change how he felt. He was still stuck, disconnected, and questioning his sense of identity.

A powerful conversation with his wife—“Maybe it’s a you problem”—became a turning point. Leo began asking deeper questions about who he was beyond his career and the identities he had carried for years.

That journey eventually became You Are Not Your Past, a book and transformational framework centered on releasing outdated identities and rewriting the internal stories that can keep us stuck.

In this conversation, we explore why people repeat emotional patterns, how past experiences can influence identity, the difference between changing your circumstances and changing yourself, and Leo’s “Release Exercise.”

If you’ve ever felt defined by your past, stuck in an old version of yourself, or uncertain about how to begin again, this conversation offers a powerful invitation to consider what might be possible when you stop allowing your past to write your future.

What does it really mean to build a good life?

In this episode of Heal, Build and Become, Maris sits down with author and strategic life coach Kirana Sidin to explore the choices, beliefs, and habits that quietly shape the lives we create.

Kirana’s own journey began with an unexpected moment when her youngest child called her “jobless.” Instead of simply brushing it off, she began asking deeper questions about whether she was intentionally building something that was truly hers. She started spending an hour each morning reading and reflecting. Those small moments eventually grew into hundreds of blog posts, her debut book, Cheers for a Good Life, and the foundation of her “A Good Life” framework.

In this conversation, we explore intentional living, ancient wisdom, modern distractions, purpose, relationships, parenting, money, decision-making, and the difference between simply being successful and actually living a meaningful life.

Kirana reminds us that a good life doesn’t necessarily arrive through one major breakthrough. It can be built through the small, ordinary choices we make every day.

What if your relationship with money is shaped by beliefs you don’t even realize you have?

In this episode of Heal, Build and Become, Maris sits down with Money Mindset and Manifestation Expert Pericles Rellas, who has spent more than 30 years helping people examine their relationship with money and develop healthier money mindsets.

Pericles introduces his concept of the “Financial Thermostat”—his framework for understanding how our beliefs, thoughts, emotions, and learned patterns around money can influence the way we approach earning, keeping, and receiving it.

We talk about the money beliefs we inherit from our parents, why some people struggle to earn more or keep what they earn, common money myths, self-worth, manifestation, and the process of changing old patterns.

Pericles also shares how he approaches the question many people ask: “Why doesn’t manifesting work for me?”

Whether you’re working toward financial growth, trying to change your relationship with money, or simply becoming more aware of the beliefs that influence your financial decisions, this conversation offers plenty to reflect on.

What if healing involved more than simply addressing physical symptoms?

In this episode of Heal, Build and Become, we sit down with Dr. Matt Singer, a holistic physician, educator, speaker, author, and co-founder of H.E.A.R.T.S. Initiative.

Dr. Singer has spent more than two decades working with people facing chronic health challenges, emotional difficulties, anxiety, trauma, and addiction. He shares his perspective on the relationship between the mind, body, and spirit and discusses the approach he calls Timeline Integration.

We explore the emotional experiences that can shape how we understand ourselves, the role of hope in addiction recovery, the importance of supporting families affected by addiction, and Dr. Singer’s experience studying Ho’oponopono.

We also go deeper into some of life’s biggest questions: What is spirituality? What is the soul’s purpose? Where is God? And how can we find hope when life feels overwhelming?

This is a conversation about healing, faith, emotional awareness, purpose, and the possibility of transformation.

What happens when an experience from 35 years ago becomes the inspiration for a book?

In this episode of Heal, Build and Become, we sit down with Michael Muccio—a business consultant, pastor, missionary, traveling speaker, and author of three books.

Michael’s journey has taken him from the hospitality industry and business consulting, including working alongside Zig Ziglar, into more than four decades of pastoral ministry.

We explore the extraordinary story behind his newest book, Evil’s First Breath, a novel inspired by a vision Michael says he received 35 years ago.

Michael shares how that vision became a dramatic presentation at his church before eventually becoming a full-length book. We also discuss faith, purpose, destructive patterns, spiritual transformation, and the deeper questions surrounding good and evil.

What can understanding the roots of destructive patterns teach us about overcoming them? How does faith shape the way we navigate difficult seasons? And what happens when an experience we carry for decades eventually becomes part of our life’s calling?

This is a conversation about faith, purpose, transformation, and the stories that can shape an entire life.

What happens when you’ve achieved success on the outside but still struggle with self-doubt, fear, pressure, or the feeling that you’re not enough?

In this episode of Heal, Build and Become, we sit down with Steve Barton—high-performance executive coach, author, and creator of The Game of Ten®.

With more than 47 years of real-world business experience, Steve helped grow his family’s retail floral business from $200,000 to $2 million in annual revenue. But his journey taught him that financial and professional success don’t automatically create peace of mind, strong relationships, or inner fulfillment.

Steve shares how awareness can change the way we make decisions, lead others, and experience our lives. We explore the hidden mental patterns that can keep high achievers stuck, the difference between reacting from fear and leading from awareness, the role of intuition in leadership, and what it really means to believe, “I Am Enough.”

If you’re an entrepreneur, executive, leader, or high achiever who wants to accomplish more without sacrificing your inner peace, this conversation is for you.
