Maria recently spoke at Ed Mylett’s “The Power of One More” event and learned all about standing in her power. She, like many of us, gets nervous about public speaking and was feeling insecure before going on stage until she did this one simple thing - that we reveal on today’s episode ;) We talk: Overcoming public speaking nerves Cultivating confidence from intention Channeling an inner power you didn't’ know excised Surrendering to the universe & how that allows space for more opportunities to present themselves … and so much more!

Beliefs can create or prevent. Earthing is healing. Where do you pour your daily cup of energy? The positive energy of prayer. The negative energy of stress. Truth reduces stress. Childhood traumas then, affect our reactions today. The mind can make the body sick - it can also make it heal. Wishing illness to feel cared for. Living in joy to honor loved ones who have passed. RGF Bonus: @poojanayyar gives @undergaro and @thekelseymeyer a play by play from her recent Indian family wedding.
