In this episode of WTF Spirit, I’m calling bullshit on burnout culture—especially the way it’s crept into spirituality. We’re talking about why rest is not lazy, not quitting, and not falling behind… it’s rebellion.

I share my own experience of hitting burnout hard, ignoring Spirit’s whispers, and learning (again) why the body eventually forces a shutdown when we don’t listen. We dive into how exhaustion, brain fog, emotional numbness, and sudden illness aren’t failures—they’re messages. Divine intervention. Protection.

We also unpack how hustle culture starts young, how it wires us to override our bodies, and why Spirit works in cycles, not constant productivity. Nature rests. You’re allowed to rest too.

This episode is permission to slow the hell down, stop explaining yourself, and reclaim sacred rest as a spiritual practice—not something you have to earn.

If your body has been waving red flags, this one’s for you.

“The dark isn’t your enemy — it’s the soil your light grows from.”

In this Winter Solstice episode of WTF Spirit, I’m inviting you to slow down, stop fighting the darkness, and understand why it exists in the first place. December has a way of making people uncomfortable — the quiet, the endings, the long nights — but the darkness isn’t here to punish you. It’s here to help you heal, gestate, and reset.

We talk about why darkness is feminine, why being in the quiet can feel confronting, and how trauma can pull us out of our bodies. I share why the Solstice is not a productivity checkpoint, but a sacred pause — a moment to listen to your body, your guides, and your ancestors. This episode is about learning how to sit with yourself, honor your inner winter, and bring light back into your life without forcing anything.

We also talk practical spirituality — simple candle work, intention over perfection, and why your connection to Spirit doesn’t need to look like anyone else’s. No fancy tools. No perfect rituals. Just honesty, presence, and choosing yourself.

If you’ve been exhausted, overwhelmed, or feeling like something is ending but you’re not sure what’s next yet — this episode is for you. The seeds are already in the soil. Your light knows when it’s time to rise.

In this raw and deeply healing episode of WTF Spirit, Maria sits down with returning guest and fellow medium, Carol Elizabeth, to explore how childhood sexual abuse shapes their lives as spiritual leaders. Together, they unpack how trauma can affect visibility, self-worth, and the ability to trust both people and Spirit.

The conversation moves through powerful moments of realization—Maria’s struggle with “the right to be seen,” Carol’s journey toward trusting her guides after feeling abandoned during her abuse, and the shared understanding that healing isn’t linear. They speak candidly about how trauma imprints in the body, how it can influence a medium’s relationship with Spirit, and how forgiveness, self-trust, and divine contracts intertwine in the healing process.

With honesty, laughter, and a few well-placed F-bombs, this episode reminds survivors that being seen is an act of courage, and that Spirit never abandons us—even when humans do.

✨ Key Themes:

• Healing trauma through spiritual work

• Trusting Spirit after betrayal

• The fear of being seen and judged

• Understanding soul contracts and free will

• Embodied healing and reclaiming power

With raw honesty, they share how trauma shaped their behaviors, relationships, control patterns, and sense of safety—and the long path toward reclaiming their voices and boundaries. This is not an easy conversation, but it’s a necessary one.

In this raw, real, and riotously honest episode, I take you on a deeply personal ride through the five messy stages of grief—Maria style. I open up about losing my dad in 2021, how Spirit ignored my request not to show me death was coming, and the moment Archangel Azrael showed up in all their divine non-binary glory. I also share what it felt like to literally see my ancestors gather behind my dad's hospital bed and how I held space as a medium, daughter, and human all at once.

But don’t worry—it’s not all heavy. Leave it to me (and my newly crossed-over father) to bring the laughs. You’ll hear the hilarious moment my dad popped in while I was on the toilet—because yes, spirits have no chill. And spoiler alert: he finally admitted he believed in my mediumship—just 40 minutes after dying.

We wrap it up with grief-fueled sibling drag races on the highway, reflections on denial, and a heartfelt invitation to check out my course Ignite Your Intuition if you're ready to connect with Spirit yourself.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever grieved, laughed through tears, or wondered what really happens when we leave this life—and what love looks like on the other side.

In this episode, I get real about what it means to be your authentic self, and I dive deep into the family trauma that gets passed down through generations. Growing up with parents who didn’t know themselves, I learned that trauma just keeps repeating itself unless we actively break the cycle.

I share my personal journey of feeling abandoned by my dad and how, before he passed, I finally got the peace I needed when he opened up about why he stayed away. It wasn’t easy, but it helped me understand the generational wounds he carried.

I also talk about how we choose the families we’re born into, and how healing starts with looking at all those pieces that made us who we are—what came from mom, dad, and even from their parents. If you’ve ever wondered why certain patterns keep showing up in your life, chances are, you’re the one who’s meant to heal them. It’s not easy, but it’s part of what we signed up for in this lifetime.

This episode is a powerful reminder that healing your family’s karma means being true to yourself and forgiving those who came before you.
