Summary

Hey Heal Squad! This week’s Chatshow is all about Maria catching us up on life lately! From bouncing between the East Coast and LA to soaking in all things fall, she’s giving us a peek behind the scenes of what’s been going on. Maria shares what it was like being back in LA for the incredible Raising Brows event, and the surreal moment when she found out (just one day before!) that she’d be introducing Oprah?! She opens up about the powerful takeaways from Oprah and Anastasia’s conversation, what it was like having Athena there with her, and why getting to share those moments with her daughter means everything. PLUS, she takes us through Halloween in LA, where Athena dressed up as the cutest Dorothy ever, and Maria reflects on how independent and fearless her little one has become, and what that’s taught her about parenting, trust, and letting kids shine. (P.S. this made her question whether or not she loves LA).
