What if the moments you fear most are the ones that can set you free? Maria sits down with transformational coach and author Morgan Rich to unpack how we move from victimhood to agency, not by pretending pain isn’t real, but by training our bodies and minds to meet it with presence. From breath retention and cold-water exposure to small daily rituals that anchor integrity, we explore practical ways to calm your nervous system, speak hard truths, and show up as the person you say you are.
Maria opens up about surviving sexual assault, navigating cervical cancer at 18, and later facing recurrence as a single mom. Morgan shares the seasonal wisdom of “little deaths,” grief as a rite of passage, and the power of choosing aliveness even when it disrupts expectations. We get honest about leaving marriages that were “fine” but not life-giving, parenting without overprotection, and letting our kids earn confidence by driving on life’s snowy roads with us close enough to help but far enough to let them steer.
We also dive into Find Your Path, Morgan’s program for young adults who need space to listen before they leap. Expect grounded practices: a 10-minute daily sit, kinder self-talk that fuels progress, and embodied training through sports, dance, and nature that teaches calm under pressure. If you’ve felt stuck, anxious, or unsure which way to turn, this conversation offers repeatable tools and a compassionate lens for choosing courage over comfort.
