Someone can copy the idea, study the formula, or try to steal the sauce, but similar still doesn’t mean the same. In Episode 611, we talk about embracing what makes you unique, focusing less on external competition, and asking a harder question: what are you doing that may be getting in the way of the success and abundance you deserve?

We also reflect on the wonderful changes happening as the podcast approaches Year 10, plus new opportunities to work with me through speaking and other offers.

Your lane still has room for you. Go get what’s yours!

Sometimes we ask for perspective when what we’re really seeking is permission. In this episode, we talk about trusting yourself to make decisions, accepting uncertainty, and remembering that even unfavorable experiences can teach us something.

We also get into the exciting increase in podcast interview requests, why every opportunity isn’t necessarily an aligned opportunity, and what I’m considering as I become more intentional about future guests. Plus, we’re getting ready to celebrate 10 years of podcasting this September. :-)

Forgiveness can get complicated when we assume everyone views it the same way that we do. In episode 609, we discuss how forgiveness can exist on a spectrum, why consideration matters, and what happens when someone else’s version of forgiveness doesn’t match your own.

Why do we wait for holidays, birthdays, and special occasions to give ourselves permission to celebrate? In this quick 5-minute episode, Maria talks about creating joy on ordinary days, celebrating yourself just because, and refusing to let society decide when life is allowed to feel special. Your life is happening now, so why not make a random day worth celebrating?

Building on Part 1 from episode 606, Maria breaks down a powerful yet practical real-life example of assertiveness after journalist Jemele Hill responded to an online critic in just two sentences. Sometimes the strongest boundaries simply require knowing who you are and standing on it; no long explanation needed.

Not everyone deserves a front-row seat to your identity, especially when they think they know it better than you do! In episode 606, Maria ponders why people sometimes speak with confidence about lives they don't truly know, the difference between intuition and assumption (and even insecurity), and why knowing who you "belong to" makes it easier to reject misplaced authority. Now is the perfect time to stop receiving outside narratives that were never meant for you to accept.

Grief isn't always about death. Sometimes it's the quiet (or loud) loss of a season, an identity, a dream, a job, or a version of yourself that no longer fits. In Episode 605, we continue the conversation from Episode 604 about how it's possible to grieve what you've lost while embracing what you're becoming. Give yourself permission to grieve, while also giving yourself another chance to grow.

Desperation has a way of convincing us that we have no time, no options, and no way out, but that's rarely the truth! In Episode 604, we talk about how desperation clouds our judgment, stomps out our intuition, lowers our standards, steals our abundance mindset, and pulls us away from faith in the name of instant gratification. Join me for the next 25 minutes as we unpack why desperation is a terrible life partner, and how choosing pausing for clarity over pressure and urgency can change the trajectory of your life.

After six months away, Homegirl is back!

In this 8-minute episode, we're talking about the difference between true community and the pressure to be liked at the expense of yourself. Self-abandonment should never be the cost to belong. Ever.

If this resonated with you, share it with someone who needs the reminder.
