Hey there,

Lately, I’ve been deep in the work of discovering new sides of myself — where you’re not just trying something new, you’re becoming someone new. And honestly? It’s a lot. It’s exciting, uncomfortable, energizing, and confusing — all at the same time.

This season, I’ve been getting curious about who I am as a creator. Not just Maria from her 9-5 job who knows how to function in corporate, not the trainer/athlete Maria who loves pushing herself. Not the version of me who’s been through therapy and knows her worth. But the woman who’s building something creative and vulnerable and totally her own — in public. That version of me is still forming. And some days she feels magnetic and powerful, and other days she feels like she has no idea what she’s doing. Both are true.

But here's the thing I keep coming back to: it’s okay to not feel fully confident when you’re evolving. It’s okay if it doesn’t all click right away. That doesn’t mean you’re not meant for it — it just means you’re new. And new things take time, repetition, and a whole lot of grace. The work is real, but so is the joy. So is the thrill of surprising yourself.

If you’re in your own version of this — becoming someone you haven’t fully met yet — just know: you’re not behind, and you’re not alone.

With love always,

Maria <3

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
