We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Maria Shapley. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Maria below.
Maria, thanks so much for taking the time to share your insights and lessons with us today. We’re particularly interested in hearing about how you became such a resilient person. Where do you get your resilience from?
My resilience comes from how I overcame hardships in my life. For instance, some of those hardships involved around loved ones getting sick, taking care of them, ending up in abusive relationships, living in a car when I was younger, and dealing with anxiety to name a few. I knew that no matter what, in order to improve or change my life it was up to me. I choose the path of healing and through that I developed an inner resilience that has helped me become unstoppable.
Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?
As an intuitive coach, I specialize in using my intuition to read a person’s energy and find the root cause of what’s blocking the person and I clear these blocks through energy healing. By clearing these blocks, reprogramming new beliefs and providing intuitive guidance, the results lead to increased clarity in direction and purpose, happiness, better relationships and success within career. I offer 1:1 private coaching and group classes. Sessions are held virtually through zoom or by phone.
As an actress, I’ve been acting for 10 years. My goal is to book a reoccurring role on a popular tv series or book a lead role in a major feature film. I have three horror films that I act in coming out this year in 2024. They are fun, scary indie horror films. I’d love to book a film like the Notebook, a romcom, Harry Potter or Pearl Harbor. Or a tv series like Friends.
I’m currently writing my own conscious driven short films that will be turned into features.
Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
The three qualities that has been most impactful along my journey to get me to where I am now is building inner resilience, belief in self, and developing my intuition. This has helped me in all areas of my life to grow and succeed.
How can folks who want to work with you connect?
I’m looking to collaborate with people who focus on providing tools to help people improve the quality of their lives. My speciality is in helping people develop intuition, manifestation and decreasing stress. If we can collab and host an awesome workshop, let’s connect!
