How Losing Her Voice Helped Her Finally Hear Herself: Liana’s Awakening Story
Losing your voice can become the moment you finally decide to hear yourself. This episode is a raw, vulnerable look at what happens when life forces you to stop, sit down, and re-meet the woman you really are.
Maria introduces a new layer of the Wellness: Rebranded movement: sharing real stories from real women. For the first guest in this series, we welcome Liana Morris to tell what she calls her “awakening story.”
Liana opens up about years of hustle, a kitchen-island breakdown during 2020, an autoimmune diagnosis, thyroid removal, and then literally losing her voice for months. She shares how therapy, yoga, mantras, values work, and creating non-negotiable space in her schedule helped her untangle her identity from job titles and roles like “corporate worker” and “do-it-all mom.”
Together, we explore how hustle culture, diet culture, and constant urgency pull women away from who they are, and how contrast, acceptance, and small daily practices can bring you back home to yourself. This episode is for any woman who feels overwhelmed, disconnected, or like she’s hiding her true self behind responsibilities and expectations.
In this episode:
A powerful awakening story of illness, surgery, and losing a voice—then finding a truer one
How yoga, meditation, mantras, and values exercises can create literal and emotional space in your life
Why hustle culture, diet culture, and constant urgency exhaust your nervous system and identity
The role of contrast, acceptance, and “this too shall pass” in moving through hard seasons
Encouragement for women who feel lost, stuck, or like they don’t know who they are anymore
