Looking forward to listening to this podcast. With so much meh going on in the world, it’s refreshing to listen to a real person talk about real and relevant things while having well-being as a focus.
Not only is Maya a master at messaging and marketing, she lives an impact life because of her discipline, intention and integrity. Anytime I hear her speak I’m encouraged to be a better version of myself in life and business!
Maya is incredibly knowledgeable and a great teacher. So happy she finally launched this podcast - we’ve been waiting! ❤️
I first started following Maya after coming across her content and random acts of kindness during the pandemic. Since then, I’ve been locked in and learning (slowly) from her about being a woman of faith making a living by making an impact. For the folks who aren’t quite ready for the leap to client, Maya is generous with resources and webinars that are rich in practical tips and expert insight. And that’s how I know this podcast will deliver!
Really enjoyed this first episode. Maya encourages the listener ask themselves the tough questions to uncover what’s true for you. I appreciated the honesty and transparency of the conversation. Excited for what’s to come this season.
Maya has so much wisdom and I love this podcast because she’s speaking such amazing advice about finding balance and living life in ease while also creating an amazing business of impact. I love Maya to life and I’m so excited to have an expert resource while so much heart and soul available anytime we need ❤️
Listen, this is going to be a FANTASTIC season. The knowledge that Maya poured even in the FIRST episode was amazing! I can’t wait to kick my feet up, grab my notebook and LEARN! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🎉🎉. This is my new affirmation. Work Hard, Live Soft, Love Often♥️🔥
I had a listen to the first episode on the launch, and wow! I’m so excited about this. Maya continues to motivate me to grow in my entrepreneurship journey. The first step is to stop being scared to charge for my services. In medicine, we’re expected to help others for free or low cost 😭 I can tell this podcast will help with my mindset shift.
Knowing Maya for almost ten years now and seeing her journey, I know this podcast is going to be JUST what the listeners need! Cheers to working hard and living soft!🥂
