Self-discovery is the key to growth—embracing who you are and who you can become. Add a dash of imagination and a pinch of ambition to fuel your journey. And remember, it’s alright to start fresh and reinvent yourself.

When it comes to assessing progress and growth focus on people's actions rather than their words. Critiques can be difficult, but we have to find the willingness to listen and learn to grow WITH the ones around us.

We all face challenges in life, but it's how we respond that truly matters. I've been so inspired by the resilience, courage, and emotional openness of YOU. I'm so lucky I get to be your Annie.

Dear Maya, I find no joy in being "right" when trying to help loved ones. Often the conversation leads to a stalemate rather than productive change.

I do recognize transformation is a gradual process and I do believe we all have the willingness to grow - sometimes we just need to find our 'why'.

BE FREE, you don't need permission to do what is best for you.

Dear Maya, this is what worked for me but only you will know what's best for you. Look for the clues.

Dear Maya, don't sweat the small stuff. Ask yourself, 'will this matter 5 years from now?'

A new series dedicated to Maya.

We talk about our own experiences with violent tantrums, sensory issues, and oppositional behaviors growing up as two adoptees.

Are there notable differences between growing up as a girl VS a boy adoptee? Is the difference based on who raised us?
