Episode 8 - Maria Macsay | Embodied living

"You know its just your Foolish Pride." Episode 8 with the uber Mighty Maria Macsay was a tour de force of self reflection. Maria is the definition of a free spirit, and not in a generic overused fashion of the term. She specializes in Somatics coaching and embarks with her clients on the beauty of spirituality through avenues like yoga amongst others. She is also the cofounder of Align & Allow Retreats, a globally recognized women's empowerment mission retreat dedicated to elevating the embodied rise of women worldwide. My conversation with her was enlightening to how my foolish pride has in key instances gotten in the way of self progress and growth. We delved into matters of spirituality and shared stories of how we are all capable of "losing our s#it". As long as we learn from them and gain clarity as to what was the real reason for our mind, body, and souls being misaligned, that is growth, Maria is a badass Chica and how she shares her story with me makes me hopeful for the chapters that are to come for all of us on this spinning rock in space. The world is far from perfect, perhaps a belief it one day will be is dimwitted, but with self reflection and conversations like this we can learn from each other and grow as humans. It is truly a privlege that I share with you Episode Ocho of the Persona Podcast.
