If your body couldn’t change no matter what—how would you show up for yourself?

"I just want to feel good in my body this summer." Sound familiar? You’re not alone. What does that really mean?

If your life were a recipe, these three ingredients would be non-negotiable.

In this episode, Maria, a mental health therapist, shares the three foundational elements that every woman needs to thrive — self-worth, self-esteem, and self-love — and explains how a lack of these essential ingredients shows up in our daily lives through burnout, people-pleasing, self-doubt, and overgiving.

Together, we explore what each of these concepts really means, how to recognize where you might be running low, and how to start rebuilding your internal foundation,  not for others, but for you.
