Summary

Hey Heal Squad! It’s another What Worked This Week with Maria (and this one is packed in the best way!).Today, Maria shares 5 real-life takeaways to help you stress less, simplify your life, and travel smarter…just in time for spring break! And honestly…these are the kinds of tips you’ll actually use. First up: stress. Since being in El Salvador, Maria’s found it so much easier to step away from the noise and recalibrate. There’s something about the beach that just does it. But then…cue a very real moment…she thought she forgot something very vital to her health: her insulin! Full panic. What happened next? Let’s just say it turned into something surprisingly positive you won’t expect. Then we get into her fool-proof packing system. She has the best hacks that kept her totally organized on this trip.And because travel can wreck your gut sometimes, Maria shares the two must-pack essentials she never leaves home without. If you deal with stomach issues…this is gold. She’s also loving a few tiny but impactful upgrades lately….like her new go-to facial cleanser from Formless Beauty (scroll below for a discount!). Plus, if your day is packed with Zoom calls, don’t miss her easy movement trick to boost blood flow without leaving your desk. And finally…a little plot twist: Minimalist Maria is emerging! Her move to El Salvador has helped her seriously downsize, and the shift has brought a whole new level of clarity, freedom, and healing. (Wait until you hear how many hangers she has now!) If you’ve been craving more peace, simplicity, or just a few small shifts that make a big difference, listen to this!

And by this time, you know that when I travel, I love to stay in homes on Airbnb.
