New Year, New You
New Year, REAL You
Are you tired of all the “new year, new you” hype?
Are you exhausted from all the pushing & striving to be who you “should” be?
what if in 2024, you stopped trying to change yourself?
and instead…
You gave yourself permission to be who you are
You focused on deeply understanding yourself, your values & strengths
You judged success by fulfilling goals that have meaning and value to you
that’s exactly what I’d like to help you accomplish in 2024
HERE’S HOW I CAN HELP:

Every new year, we’re swamped with messages of how to reinvent ourselves. “New year, New you” messages fill up magazines & our screens pushing the message that who we are is not good enough.
This aligns with what our material society encourages to focus on from the minute we are born: quantitative achievements. Developmental milestones, education, grades, salary, job titles, material possessions are what we are told to measure are success and worth by.
And there’s always a new goal to achieve and then another and another on the road to success. But when does this ever end? When is that ultimate success reached? Is it ever reached?
And whose goals are you chasing anyway? Are they yours or are you chasing prefabricated dreams borrowed from other people and internalised by your upbringing, television sets, social media stories and a society that keeps telling us what we should be doing.
What if you stopped striving to be who you think you should be & instead allowed the real you to flourish?
What if you looked inside instead of outside?
What if you escaped the success trap guided by false glamour and started living according to your core values?
What if in 2024 you measured success by fulfilling goals that have meaning and value to you?
Maybe 2024 is not about becoming thinner, tidier, more social, productive, organised etc.
Maybe it’s about un-becoming what isn’t really you.

Hi, I am Maria
Your partner in this journey of self-exploration.
A former striver and high achiever - high grades, scholarships, degrees, good jobs - I unknowingly judged my self-worth by all these accolades. Then at in my late twenties I looked at my boss at the prestigious advertising company I was working at and realised that I didn’t want what she had, which is were I was headed if I stayed on that path.
So I decided to change paths. But no matter where I went, I fell into the same trap: focusing on achievement instead of fulfilment. There was no joy in the striving and achieving more, but I didn’t know another way so I kept going at it…
I wish I could tell you that becoming a coach changed that. Unfortunately it made it worse. You see, coaching is (and was even more so fifteen years ago when I first got into it) obsessed with success and measurable achievement. If you can’t measure it you can’t achieve it! At some point, I became so disillusioned with it all that I had to step away for some time to re-assess things. I even considered stepping away completely from the world of coaching.
I almost became a couples therapist and for a while I went back into the world of fundraising. But I decided to return to coaching, because I believe it needs more voices like mine.
Coaches that help you become more of who you are instead of who society tells you that you should be. Coaches that help you focus not only on the measurable, but also the immeasurable goals in life - the things that contribute deeply to living a content life.
Coaches that ask: what matters to you? what makes life meaningful? what brings you joy and feeds your soul?
Are you ready to begin your journey of self-exploration?
what if in 2024 you stopped striving to be who you think you should be & allowed who you are to flourish?
