11/11 — Your 'Me Time' Starts now!

Your Guide to Toronto Wellness This Week

Hey there! 💜

As winter creeps up on us, I've been reflecting on intentional downtime, finding a better balance between staying productive and truly resting, and letting go of some of my usual routines.

I’m feeling the pull to slow down and be more selective with my energy. Evening gym sessions have become my new rhythm, and quiet nights in with a protein snack and a good book are just perfect.

So don’t miss out on this week’s episode, where I get into all the ways I'm resetting for winter, why it’s okay to listen to what your body actually needs, and a few wellness goodies I’m hooked on lately (hello, air purifier!).

Listen in, and let’s thrive this season together.

Want to support?

Let’s be real: finding a community in a city like this can be tough, especially if your idea of fun looks more like a meditation circle than King West.

As much as I'd love to do this full-time, I’m not a stay-at-home gf, so I balance this passion project with a full-time job. If you feel inspired by what I’m building and want to buy me a coffee to support, it would mean the world <3

Every bit helps me know this work is making an impact and gives me a chance to scale it further—helping more people like us find ourselves and our community.

If you’re also passionate about health and wellness and/or are hosting events and would like to collaborate or be featured, please DM me or email [email protected]!

Thank you for being here and believing in this vision! Now go and get some ‘me time"!

Love💜,

Maria

Let’s be friends!
