When the experts say “there’s nothing more we can do,” where do you go next? Maria sits down with Eva Skarström, a vitality guide and best-selling author, to unpack a practical path from chronic pain and burnout to a grounded, energized life. Eva’s story begins with endometriosis, expands into fibromyalgia and fatigue, and arrives at a powerful framework that helped her get her life back: calm the nervous system, cleanse the body, and connect with the self.

We dig into the real mechanics of healing, not quick fixes. Eva shares how gentle yoga, breath, and heart-focused stillness shifted her out of fight-or-flight so her body could repair. She explains why gradual diet changes—reducing processed foods, phasing out dairy and gluten, and supporting kidney and lymph function—reduced inflammation without overwhelming her system. Maria adds her own journey through recurrent cervical cancer, the moment she overhauled food and movement, and the surprising role of Reiki and mindset in helping her body find its balance again.

Together, we explore how pain can be information rather than an enemy, and how stored emotions and trauma show up in the tissues until they’re witnessed and released. Eva describes craniosacral work and energy sensing in simple terms, highlighting how safe presence can unlock tension patterns and restore flow. This is a conversation about agency: taking small, consistent steps, learning to trust intuition, and defining vitality as freedom, calm, and strength you can feel every day.

If you’re navigating pain, fatigue, or a life that feels stuck, you’ll leave with doable first steps—five minutes of stillness, one nourishing swap on your plate, a nightly heart meditation—and the conviction that your body wants to heal. Subscribe, share this with someone who needs hope, and leave a review to tell us the one small step you’re taking today.

A red kidney bean in the palm of a hand changed everything. That small birthday gesture revealed a living donor, set a life-saving transplant in motion, and became the spark for a comeback that defies every expectation. We sit with author and leader Mark Maselli to unpack how a feared family diagnosis turned into fuel, how a simple online plea found three matches, and how gratitude and grit carried him from the recovery room to the marathon start line in 346 days.

Mark takes us inside the realities of polycystic kidney disease—aching joints, brain fog, and the emotional weight of a prognosis he grew up watching. He breaks down the practical steps that extended his runway: cleaning up his diet, dialing in blood pressure management, and setting a non-negotiable vision to avoid dialysis and get transplanted. When his function dropped to 18%, he asked for six months, humbled himself, and let the world help. The result? A donor discovered through a surprising family connection, and a transplant that delivered instant clarity and relief.

We explore the Maselli Mindset—vision, discipline, resilience—and how it shows up when the miles get ugly. At mile 22 he almost quit, then remembered who he runs for: his grandmother, his mom, others waiting in wheelchairs at transplant clinics, and anyone facing a wall they didn’t choose. He finished faster, found community in Spartan and running circles, and turned survivor’s guilt into survivor’s respect. Along the way, we dig into saying yes before perfect plans exist, building habits around gratitude, and crafting a life that aligns energy, purpose, and action.

If you need a reason to believe in second chances, or a push to start messy and figure it out on the way, this conversation is your sign. Follow Mark’s work, share this story with someone who needs hope, and subscribe for more comeback journeys. Your next mile could change someone else’s finish line.

What if the badge of hustle is actually the burden blocking your purpose? We sit down with speaker, strategist, and best-selling author Shelley Meche'tte for a powerful update on her journey—surviving three strokes in one day, finding her voice again, and letting grace, not grind, set the pace. Shelley’s story doesn’t glamorize near-death. It reorders what matters: identity over titles, alignment over applause, and stewardship over striving.

We unpack how purpose can stay the same at its core while the assignment changes, sometimes overnight. Shelley shares how she moved from a profitable but misaligned path to serving faith-driven women entrepreneurs with simple, grounded strategies that prevent burnout. Her framework of “solids and flexibles” is a practical game-changer: protect your non-negotiables, then let the rest breathe. From shutting the house down at a set time to prepping breakfast and clothes the night before, these small choices reduce decision fatigue and keep momentum steady. We also explore how intuition—the nudge of the Holy Spirit—guides pivots in business, relationships, and routines without drama or doubt.

This conversation is honest about fear and starting over. Shelley challenges limiting beliefs like “you can’t revamp after years of work” and shows how past experience becomes a blueprint for what’s next. We talk gratitude as a daily anchor, fulfillment as the truest metric of fit, and the reality of our finite time—what we do with the dash between dates. If you’re craving clarity, calmer days, and a business that aligns with your calling, this is your reset.
