Hi!! I would love to hear from you!

Maria Paholik takes us on a deeply personal journey from people-pleasing to self-liberation in this heartfelt conversation about authenticity and worth. Eight years ago, Maria stood at her bedroom window, feeling completely lost despite outward appearances of success. That vulnerable moment when she asked the universe for help sparked a transformative path toward self-discovery and healing.
Through her work as a Heal Your Life workshop leader, Coach, and mindfulness meditation teacher, Maria now guides women to break free from the exhausting cycle of people-pleasing. She shares refreshingly practical strategies, like her simple yet powerful question: "When do you need the answer by?" This creates vital space between requests and responses, allowing us to check in with our true desires before automatically saying yes.
What makes Maria's approach unique is her recognition that healing isn't linear. Even after years of setting boundaries, she sometimes finds herself momentarily unable to say no. Rather than viewing this as failure, she embraces it as part of the spiral-like journey of growth—we revisit similar challenges throughout life but with increasingly gentle and effective responses each time.
Our conversation explores how many of our stressors come from self-imposed expectations rather than actual demands from others. Through client examples and personal anecdotes, Maria illustrates how small experiments in self-prioritization—like leaving dishes undone to put your feet up instead—can create profound shifts in wellbeing and identity.
