🎙️Journeys to Wellbeing: Episode 25

“Why am I rushing? Why am I still go, go, go?”In this episode, I’m joined by Maria Dargan of The Saucy Soul Coaching Studio — a somatic breathwork facilitator, meditation teacher, neuroscience mindset coach, and trauma-informed coach. Maria is also co-owner of The Yoga Yard and Root & Rise Events.Together, we explore the journey from high-pressure factory and corporate environments into more aligned, heart-led work — and the courage it takes to trust yourself, follow intuition, and create a life that supports wellbeing, presence, and authenticity. We also dive into nervous system awareness, people-pleasing, motherhood, burnout culture, and the importance of slowing down in a world that constantly tells us to speed up. We Talk About:🌿 Maria’s transition from factory life into wellness work and entrepreneurship🌿 The impact of chronic stress and “go-go-go” culture on the nervous system🌿 Motherhood, business ownership, and trying to balance both worlds🌿 Somatic breathwork, nervous system regulation, and healing through the body🌿 People-pleasing, self-trust, and overcoming fear of judgement🌿 The “myth of normal” and how modern lifestyles disconnect us from ourselves🌿 The role intuition and inner knowing can play in life decisions🌿 Why slowing down can feel uncomfortable — but deeply healingMaria shares openly about the leap from a secure factory job into creating a more aligned and meaningful life through wellness work. She speaks beautifully about following the pull toward breathwork and creating spaces where people can reconnect with themselves in a more grounded and compassionate way.🔗 Connect with MariaInstagram: @thesaucysoul_coachingstudioInstagram: @rootandrise_eventsInstagram: @the.yoga.yard 🎧 Listen & Watch🎥 Watch video version on Patreon 🎧 Or listen on podcast platforms, Apple & Spotify🌐 Connect with MeLearn more about my work, events, and offerings at www.eilisogrady.ieFollow me on Instagram @eilisogrady for mindfulness, yoga, and coaching inspiration.💞 Support the PodcastIf you enjoy these conversations, please subscribe, share, and leave a review — it helps more people discover these Journeys to Wellbeing. 💫Join my Patreon community for exclusive mindfulness practices, yoga classes, journaling prompts, podcast videos, discounts on coaching and courses and other content to support your health and wellbeing.👉 www.patreon.com/eilisogrady❤️ The content in this podcast is shared for general information and inspiration only.
