In this episode, I’m joined by Maria Tassi, co-founder of The Social Snippet and High Vibe Women, for a deep dive into spirituality, self-awareness, and the power of simply being. Beyond her titles, Maria has done the inner work: unraveling conditioning, questioning the narratives we tell ourselves, and embracing the unknown.

We explore what it means to step into alignment with our true selves, break free from people-pleasing patterns, and detach from the thoughts that try to define us. Maria shares how she navigated her own journey of “unbecoming,” how she learned to trust her inner knowing, and why self-compassion is the key to real transformation.

What We’ll Cover:

  • How to recognize when you're out of alignment and start making shifts toward authenticity.
  • The power of realizing you are not your thoughts, and how to stop letting them control you.
  • Why distractions and avoidance keep us stuck, and how to reconnect with our intuition.
  • The role of self-compassion in healing and why learning to "mother yourself" is a game-changer.
  • How to balance personal growth with presence and acceptance of where you are now.

Key Takeaways:

  • True alignment begins when we stop living for others and start asking what we really want.
  • Awareness is the first step to change. Our intuition is always there, but we have to clear the noise to hear it,
  • Healing doesn’t come from doing all the “wellness things”, it’s about small, meaningful shifts,
  • Letting go of old identities and expectations can feel uncomfortable, but it’s the path to freedom,

This conversation is a powerful reminder that we’re not meant to fit into a mold, we’re meant to be ourselves. If you’ve ever felt stuck in old patterns or unsure of what it really means to “be yourself,” this episode is for you!
