Hey there,

Here we go — winter has officially announced itself with that first smug dusting of snow, and honestly? It sent me straight into hibernation mode. One minute I’m thriving, the next I’m looking out the window like, “Yeah… I’m not leaving this house unless it’s structurally on fire.” Suddenly even going to an event feels like trying to run a marathon — as someone who’s done one, I can in all fairness make this comparison :)

But this is exactly the season where we have to remind ourselves — gently, but firmly — that we’re stronger than our excuses. Growth doesn’t show up wrapped in motivation and good lighting.

Growth usually shows up when most people say “no thanks” and stay under the blanket.

And I refuse to let a little frost decide who I am.

I’ve got one more Hyrox to finish before the year ends — two weeks away — so I’m in full grind mode, pushing harder than ever. And once that’s done, I’m letting myself slow down. Cozy planning mode. Deep reflection. Plotting out what next year is actually going to look like instead of letting January slap me across the face like it always does.

And speaking of planning… it’s officially vision board season. I’m hosting a Vision Board Party — yes, a proper one — because we are not stepping into 2026 without clarity, intention, and a little bit of magic. Consider this your early teaser. You can sign up now to claim your spot and be fully ready when January rolls in. Let’s build something beautiful together.

With love always,

Maria <3

My faves of the week. If we were texting about weekend plans, I’d send you these. If you’re overwhelmed by options, just start here

Don’t forget that now you can:

• Sort by event type (sound baths, yoga, meditation, fitness, etc.)

• Filter by price — or just look for free events

• Search by date to fit your schedule

• Plan ahead — because now when you see a fun event, we’ve got stuff lined up weeks in advance
