The mic is back on, and the purpose is louder than ever. After nearly a year off, Maria returns with an honest check-in about grief, midlife health, identity shifts, and why season three will weave together unreleased conversations with brand-new stories of resilience. This isn’t a victory lap; it’s a real-time reset where alignment matters more than momentum and purpose wins out over pressure.

Maria opens up about navigating postmenopause after big shift in hormonal imbalances, the weight gain that continued despite consistent habits, and the emotional spiral that followed. She walks us through the decision to seek medical support, including hormone replacement therapy and a GLP-1 protocol, and the due diligence behind it: questions, lab work, and a commitment to share transparently. Her message is clear—discipline and heart are powerful, but sometimes the bravest move is asking for help and rebuilding your foundation.

There’s a career chapter here too. Maria moved from entrepreneurship into hospice care—the same organization that supported her dad—starting as an assistant and earning a promotion into performance improvement within six months. The work is human, urgent, and meaningful, and it demanded the time and focus that pulled her from the podcast. Now, with renewed clarity, she’s honoring 15 recorded-but-unreleased episodes and lining up new interviews that explore comeback stories, identity pivots, midlife reinvention, and health journeys that go beyond quick fixes.

Season three promises applied hope: stories that show life is happening for us, practical mindset tools, and systems that make change stick. If you’re wrestling with purpose, struggling with health despite your best efforts, or rebuilding after loss, you’ll feel seen—and you’ll leave with next steps that matter. Hit follow, share this with a friend who needs a lift, and drop us your “against all odds” story so we can feature it next. Your chapter might be the spark someone else needs.
