Hello, my friends and welcome to Motivational Moments with Maria. This week I am doing something a little different.  I simply just hit the record button and started speaking with you about giving yourself some grace.  In our high speed world of constant activity we sometimes forget to stop, and acknowledge what we have accomplished and where we are going. Having said that, I decided that I was go...

Several of you asked me what I mean by high performance coaching.   Permit me the opportunity to explain.  In my world of coaching high performers, we focus on developing a growth mindset, maintaining good habits, great relationships, and how to maintain focus and discipline and more. Coaching to high performance is a process that leads you to discovery, decision making, improving performance and...

Do you ever wake up in the morning and just need a boost?   Perhaps it may be a few words that will get that internal engine fired up and the brain thinking.  You know, those inspirational quotes that set you in motion and put you in the right frame of mind.    Having spent the last 11 days in the wonderful country of Greece, I was surrounded by so many inspirational sayings from the great Greek P...

The stars and the planets do align and impact us in more ways than you know.  Have you ever read your horoscope? Do you believe in astrology and the position of the planets and the impact this might have on our lives?  Not sure.  Well on this week’s episode I have the pleasure of bringing a special Astrologist to the show to talk about this somewhat controversial subject.  Half of you are probably...

Top of the morning to you my friends. Welcome my friends to this week’s episode of Motivational Moments with Maria. I am your Host, Lucky and Crazy Coach Maria. As I recorded this episode in Barcelona, Spain I thought this….I am so lucky.  Is it luck or was it something created?  It’s almost St. Patrick’s Day so let’s talk about luck and finding your own pot of gold. How many of you have heard the...

Today I am really excited to bring a cool guest to the show but first I am going to do what I always do and that’s ask you a question so here it comes.   Do you ever let OBSTACLES get in the way of your performance?  Many of us do and today’s guest is going to share ways to CRUSH THOSE OBSTACLES. He is the author of the book “Obstacle Crusher” and so appropriate for today’s subject. I am excited t...

It’s the last day of February and I have to ask one more time…did you love yourself enough this month and did you do something special for yourself during self-care month? My thought is that you carry a self-care ritual through each month of the year and do something special for yourself every month.  Let’s ask the question of the week.  Have you ever looked at someone and said…I really admire and...

I received several requests and questions from my listeners about schedules and routines so guess what we will be chatting about today.  Of course, I will start with a question.  Have you ever wondered where the day went?  Are you just waking up late and allowing the day to take you wherever you please?  Or perhaps, you have to please someone else’s agenda. Or, have you ever looked back on the day...

February is all about self-care and self-love so I am focusing on bringing inner peace and calm to oneself. I believe that many of us don’t give ourselves the gift of self-love nor enough self-care. We get so busy taking care of everyone else that the most important person is sometimes ignored. Then, when we are feeling out of sorts, we run to the Doctor’s office to get some prescription drug to e...

The love month has arrived.  It’s February, the celebration of love and romance month.  Hello my friends and welcome to the “love yourself” month on Motivational Moments with Maria. I’m your host Loving and Crazy Coach Maria!  My intent with this podcast every week is to give you some thoughts to reflect on, some tips and ideas to move forward towards your desires in life.  You do want more joy an...

I am committed to serving you become the best you choose to become.  After all, everything we do is a choice. So here comes the question for this week.  Have you ever set a new goal and started to have heart palpitations and start to sweat? I'm not sure about you, but each time I set a new goal that seems WAY beyond my present reach, I've encountered something called "The Terror Bar...

Hello my friends.  Thanks to all of you that expressed concern about our travel last week. Just to wrap up last week’s events, I did finally make it back to California. After two more soccer games on Monday, we hit the road to head back to Nashville.  Wanting to avoid the white stuff that freezes the roads, we took the long route back to Nashville. The drive may have taken a long 8 hours, and we d...

My intent with this weekly podcast is to bring you some thoughts and ideas to keep you on your journey to live a fully productive, vibrant and joyful life.  It’s been a crazy week but don’t worry, this crazy week is relevant to today’s topic I want to share with you. However, the first thing I want to do is take a moment to honor the late Great Martin Luther King, Jr.  It’s Martin Luther King Day...

It’s always my intent with this podcast to bring you something of value so you can experience more fulfillment, productivity and joy in all areas of your life. We, the human species all want the same thing... more aliveness, connection and meaningful pursuits in our lives.   Draw yourself a triangle and put those words on each point of the triangle.  Then write your name in the middle of the trian...

This past week I was finishing up some holiday greetings and while going through my contact list I suddenly realized how many people are no longer with us.  It hit me like a rock to the head and I did get a little melancholy. We all have lost loved ones this past year and as I hit the delete contact button it was a defining and reflective moment.  We experience so much change when we lose someone...

Newton’s Law of Physics says that an object in motion stays in motion…..well the opposite is also true.  An object at rest, stays at rest.  When you stop it is sometimes very difficult to raise yourself up again. Sometimes you may be feeling a bit overwhelmed with all you have to do.  I totally understand.  We have all been there. It feels better to do nothing or procrastinate.  However, determine...

This weekly podcast is to help you stay more focused, and positive so YOU can experience more, fulfillment, fun and joy in all areas of your life.   Speaking of joy and fun, I just spent the weekend in San Diego at the only live 3-Day 60-mile Breast Cancer walk in the country.  The energy was incredible.  Everyone was so thrilled and excited to see each other after two years.  It was the biggest r...
