My childhood trauma + Getting ready for ...

Maria Fuentes
About this episode

I love being open and vulnerable with you guys and I've talked a lot about my journey over the last 4 years not only here but on my social media. But I realized I haven't really talked about my life story and trauma. What led to my depression, anxiety, alcohol dependence, and eventually my healing journey. So in this episode, I will give you some background on my past, my spirituality, and my evolution throughout all of it.  I hope this episode helps inspire you to create the life you want even if you came from a less-than-ideal childhood or you suffered trauma.

This episode will air as I'm in Costa Rica sitting with the plant medicine Ayahuasca and I can't wait to share my story in Part 2. Stay tuned!
