Research shows that it takes at least 60 days to create new habits. By the end of this 4-month journey with Maria, you will be well on your way to letting go of the pressure to be perfect once and for all!

What would your life look like when you blossom into a powerful, intuitive, resilient young leader who takes smart risks, redefines failure, and breaks through anything that gets in the way of your dreams? It’s YOUR TIME to find out!

Month 1: It’s time to discover WHO you are aside from what you do. That way, you can free yourself to actually accomplish all the things you’ve been holding yourself back from doing for fear of not being good enough. Believe me, it will be far less scary to try new things and invest in your dreams when your entire self-worth isn’t dependent on your performance in life! Here you will discover what your core values are so you can start living your life in a way that honors those values.

Month 2: It’s time to end all or nothing thinking, take smart risks and practice igniting some of that gutsy audacity you know is inside of you. Get some chutzpah! You are greater than you think you are! Now it’s time to EXPERIENCE it!

Month 3: Imagine tapping into your intuition and letting it effortlessly guide you to make quick decisions instead of stressing & overanalyzing things to death. How much time, aggravation and sleep would that save you?! It’s time to flex those faith muscles and practice trusting yourself! You can still ask people for advice when you want to, but imagine how it would feel to no longer NEED to hear everyone else’s opinions before you choose what you want to do with your own college experience, leadership journey and life!

Month 4: Celebrate good times, c’mon! When’s the last time you celebrated something as profoundly simple as the gift of being alive? When’s the last time you celebrated—well—anything? I mean really celebrated, unlike the last time you sat at a party eating birthday cake while thinking about your Monday morning Math quiz … Perfectionists are usually so worried about accomplishing the next task at hand that they rarely stop to take in the daily victories along the way. That leads to burnout and low self-confidence! This month, you’re going to star in your own reality TV show called “Your Name, Meet the Present Moment.” You’ll emerge with more clarity, peace of mind, joy, creativity and energy!

What’s it like to coach with Maria?

Read on for some testimonials from recent coaching clients:

When I was transitioning into my first real job as a lawyer after I graduated law school, I started working with Maria. I had a little experience with traditional counseling, just enough to know that my workaholic and perfectionistic tendencies were sub-clinical, somewhat situational, and celebrated within my profession and society.

 

Although I didn’t know exactly what I wanted to get out of life coaching as a college student, I knew I wanted to stop measuring my worth based on my latest projects, accolades, or accomplishments. To be candid, they were never enough anyway.

 

I knew I wanted to feel confident and capable consistently. And I knew there was something not quite right about my seeking out and piling more work on myself at peak times of stress or as a reflex, immediately after I’d accomplished something; if only I knew what that was about!

 

Maria communicates from a place of keen intuition, remarkable empathy, and genuine warmth. What a relief it was to finally open up about and get to work on my insecurities and anxieties with Maria!

 

After only a few months of fun, engaging sessions, I experienced a renewed and deep sense of happiness, confidence, and clarity about myself and my life’s work. By our final session, I felt freer and lighter, unencumbered.

 

Maria truly delivered the perfect blend of coaching and consulting, empowering me to recognize and clear the mental roadblocks I’d set up for myself years earlier as a young perfectionist and misfit. I am no longer afraid of making mistakes. I have learned to value myself and my well-being without reference to my achievements.

 

Maria helped me recognize my core values and, because of that, I can live in a way that honors my values, which gives me a deep and abiding sense of satisfaction. This is the stuff I wish I had the opportunity to learn in school or traditional counseling – how lucky that I was able to learn these things with Maria, a wonderful life coach for college students like me!

Working with Maria over the past few months, I have come to realize how incredibly beneficial and effective life coaching truly is.

While I was nervous to work with Maria the first few times, I have nothing but good things to say about the life coaching experience.

Approaching the end of my college career, I let my fear and negative thinking take control. The unknown “real world” was a scary place for me and had me constantly asking myself, “What if I don’t have the right job or make enough money? How am I going to survive on my own? What will other people think of me? What if I’m a failure?” These questions kept me up at night and prevented me from living a full and healthy lifestyle. I was so overcome with doubt that my fear of the unknown prevented me from trying new things or applying for new jobs.

Working with Maria helped me focus on what I truly wanted in life, not what I thought I “should” do or what others thought I “should” do.

Maria is an intuitive listener and a wonderful supporter. During our sessions, she would pick up on things that I didn’t even realize about myself, from my limiting beliefs to my habits of self-doubt. Whenever we came across these obstacles,

Maria would help me come up with a plan to breakthrough them. 

Our sessions were a judgment-free zone and a place I felt I could truly open up and do some self-discovery without any fear of criticism. She helped me find the answers to my problems from within, encouraging me to live life from my intuition and heart.

During my coaching, I actually experienced my first job rejection, which was an incredibly vulnerable time for me. But Maria helped me to see that even in failure comes opportunity and the chance to learn, and I was able to take that seemingly negative experience and turn it into a learning opportunity. 

I picked myself up and found the courage to keep applying for jobs and testing out new opportunities—and I found an amazing job in my field right before graduation! My coaching experience allowed me to tap into the inner strength and confidence I needed to put myself out there in my job search and all other aspects of my life. 

Once I allowed myself to be dedicated and committed to my personal growth and development, I noticed how my life started to change. I’m more confident and courageous because I truly believe in myself–I finally believe that I am enough.

Working with Maria helped me find that courageous and fiery Meg within me, and I cannot thank her enough for helping me to discover it!
