Episode DescriptionWe've all been there - you're manifesting something incredible, you can practically taste it, and then... nothing. At least, nothing you can see. In this deeply honest episode, Maria gets real about the waiting period between wanting and having, and why we psych ourselves out of our own success.Inspired by her recent big meeting nerves and a hilarious throwback to her acting audition days (involving raggedy house slippers and a national commercial), Maria explores why we care so much about our dreams that we sometimes block them from happening.This isn't about manifestation techniques or action steps - it's a compassionate, real-talk conversation about being human while creating magic.The Meeting That Started It All
