  When Overwhelm Becomes Burnout: The Signs You Shouldn't Ignore | Episode 190 26.08.2026 27мин

  Last week, we talked about overwhelm and the signs that you may be carrying more than you realize. Because sometimes overwhelm doesn't look like falling apart. Sometimes, you're still showing up. Still handling business. Still taking care of everyone else. Still checking things off the list. But underneath all of that productivity, you may be mentally exhausted, emotionally drained, easily irritated, disconnected, or simply feeling like you don't have anything left to give. So what happens when we ignore those signs? In this replay of Episode 53, I'm joined by Burnout Strategist, Coach, and Psychologist Dr. Raushannah Johnson-Verwayne, also known as Dr. RJ, for an important conversation about recognizing burnout and understanding the toll that constantly doing more can take on our minds, bodies, relationships, and overall well-being. If last week's episode made you stop and think, “Whew... this might be me,” then this conversation is your next step. Because recognizing that you're overwhelmed is important. But understanding when overwhelm is becoming burnout, and what you can do about it, is important too. Press play, take a breath, and let's talk about battling burnout.

  You Don’t Need to Do More. You Need to Do What Matters. | Episode 189 19.08.2026 13мин

  Have you ever had one of those days where nothing is necessarily “wrong,” but somehow everything feels like too much? Your to do list is long, your brain is running a mile a minute, everybody needs something from you, and even the smallest request feels like one more thing you just cannot handle. In this episode of Mind, Body & Business with Maria More, we're talking about overwhelm and the signs that you may be experiencing it without even realizing it. Because overwhelm doesn't always look like falling apart. Sometimes it looks like being productive, showing up for everyone, getting things done, and quietly thinking, “I cannot take one more thing.” I walk you through a simple 5 step check in to help you pause, identify what actually deserves your attention, release what you can, focus on your next right step, and check back in with yourself. You'll also hear a reminder that you don't have to carry everything at once, and that being overwhelmed doesn't mean you're failing. Sometimes it simply means it's time to slow down, reassess, and be more intentional about where you're spending your energy. If you've been feeling scattered, stretched thin, mentally exhausted, or like you're constantly trying to catch up with your own life, this episode is for you. Take a breath. You're not alone. And you don't have to figure everything out today. ❤️

  What Your Trainer Would Tell You If She Wasn't Afraid Of Hurting Your Feelings | Episode 188 12.08.2026 17мин

  What if I could tell you the truth about your fitness journey without worrying about hurting your feelings? Well... that's exactly what I'm doing in this episode. I'm getting real about the things I sometimes want to say to my clients but don't always say out loud. We're talking about self-accountability, constantly switching your wellness strategy because of something you saw on Instagram, the role nutrition plays in your results, how your home environment can either support or sabotage your goals, and the reality that the work your personal trainer does goes far beyond the 45 minutes you spend together. But this isn't a "tough love" lecture. Because I know this stuff isn't always easy. I know workouts can be hard. I know healthy eating can get boring. I know stress can make comfort food feel like the best idea in the world. I know sometimes your brain won't shut off at night. And I know life can get in the way of even the best intentions. I know because I've experienced these things too. So this episode is about finding that balance between accountability and grace. I'm going to challenge you to take ownership of the choices you're making while also reminding you that you don't have to be perfect to make progress. Your trainer can't do the work for you. But the right trainer can help you understand what you're capable of, support you when things get hard, and remind you to keep going when you're tempted to quit. If you've been looking for another plan, another reset, or another Monday to start over, this might be the reality check you need. And yes... I'm saying all of it with love.

  Learning to Borrow Wisdom Without Borrowing Limits | Episode 187 05.08.2026 14мин

  We've all heard it before... "You need to do this if you want to be successful." But what if the advice you're following is based on someone else's experiences, fears, or definition of success? In this episode of Mind, Body & Business with Maria More, I share a pivotal conversation with a mentor who once told me I needed to stay on the radio to remain "relevant." That moment became the catalyst for one of the most valuable lessons I've ever learned: good advice isn't always the right advice. Through personal stories about my career, entrepreneurship, money, fitness, and marriage, I explore how learning to think critically and trust your own discernment can lead to a life that's aligned with your values instead of someone else's expectations. In this episode, you'll learn:• Why advice should be filtered, not blindly followed• How to separate timeless principles from outdated strategies• Why "more" isn't always better in business, money, or life• The questions I ask before making major decisions• How to build a life that's authentic to you instead of following someone else's blueprint If you've ever felt pressured to follow the path everyone else says you "should" take, this episode is your reminder that your life deserves more than a copy of someone else's success story. It's time to borrow the wisdom, leave the limitations, and create a life that's uniquely your own.

  Life Lessons From The Dance Floor | Episode 186 29.07.2026 16мин

  When I signed up for dance lessons, I thought I was learning salsa and bachata. What I didn't expect was that the dance floor would become one of my greatest classrooms. In this episode, I'm sharing the unexpected life lessons I've learned through becoming a beginner again. From receiving feedback without taking it personally, to embracing failure as part of growth, to learning to trust, lead less, and follow more, these lessons have stretched me in ways I never imagined. I'll also talk about how stepping into unfamiliar environments can introduce you to incredible people, lifelong friendships, and opportunities for personal growth that would never have happened if you had stayed inside your comfort zone. Whether you've been thinking about taking a class, starting a new hobby, launching a business, or simply saying yes to something that scares you, I hope this conversation reminds you that sometimes the greatest transformation has nothing to do with the skill you're learning and everything to do with the person you're becoming.

  The Long Game: Why Patience Wins | Episode 185 22.07.2026 17мин

  We're living in a world that celebrates overnight success, but the most meaningful transformations rarely happen overnight. In this episode, you'll hear why patience, flexibility, and resilience are often the true difference makers. Learn how to stop viewing setbacks as failures, embrace the learning process, and recognize when what feels like losing is actually setting you up for long term success. If you've ever felt discouraged because your progress isn't happening fast enough, this conversation is for you.

  Ganbatte: The Power Of Doing Your Best | Episode 183 08.07.2026 15мин

  In this episode of Mind, Body & Business, I'm sharing one of the most powerful concepts I've come across lately: Ganbatte, a Japanese philosophy that encourages us to keep moving forward and give our best effort, regardless of the outcome. We spend so much energy chasing perfect timing, wishing for better luck, or comparing ourselves to everyone else. But real confidence isn't built by controlling every result. It's built by showing up consistently and knowing you've done everything within your control. Whether you're working toward a healthier body, greater financial freedom, stronger relationships, or a personal goal you've been putting off, this episode will remind you that your greatest power has always been your effort. If you've ever questioned whether you're capable of creating lasting change, this conversation will leave you feeling empowered to stop waiting, start showing up, and embrace a life with fewer regrets and more confidence, one intentional step at a time.

  Mid Year Self Check, Looking Back To Build Better | Episode 182 01.07.2026 17мин

  We're halfway through the year, and before you start setting new goals, it's time to ask a more important question: How am I really doing? In this episode, I'm walking you through a powerful mid-year self-assessment to help you evaluate your progress in your wellness, personal, and financial goals without guilt or shame. I'll share lessons from my own first six months of the year, including what challenged me, what strengthened me, and the adjustments I'm making as I move into the second half of the year. We'll explore five common "paths" people find themselves on, whether you've been crushing your goals, making slower progress than expected, navigating unexpected setbacks, redefining success, or realizing you've been taking care of everyone except yourself. Remember, you're not starting over. You're starting with more wisdom, more experience, and a clearer understanding of what truly matters. Grab your journal, give yourself an honest check-in, and let's create a second half of the year that's intentional, healthy, and fulfilling. In this episode, you'll learn: Why smaller goal timeframes lead to greater consistency How to evaluate your progress without being overly critical The five paths people often find themselves on at mid-year How to choose the right strategy for the next six months Simple action steps to finish the year stronger than you started

  What Held Me Up When Life Got Heavy | Episode 181 24.06.2026 16мин

  A recent health scare involving my husband reminded me that wellness is about so much more than how we look. In this personal episode, I share how the habits, routines, and support systems I had built over time helped me stay grounded during an unexpected and challenging week. We often think of exercise, nutrition, and self care as tools for changing our bodies, but their greatest value may be the strength, resilience, and peace they provide when life gets hard. I'll also leave you with a simple wellness assignment to help you assess your own foundation and identify one area where you can become stronger, not just for today, but for whatever tomorrow may bring.

  Master The Basics Then Manage The Momentum | Episode 180 10.06.2026 23мин

  Have you ever convinced yourself that the answer to your struggles is a new meal plan, a new workout program, or a new strategy? In this episode, I'm sharing why so many women get stuck chasing the "next thing" while overlooking the habits that matter most.

We'll explore why the basics often feel too simple to matter, how neglecting them can quietly sabotage your progress, and the questions you can ask yourself to identify the foundational habit that needs your attention. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or frustrated by your lack of progress, this episode may be the reminder you need: You probably don't need more information. You probably need to return to the fundamentals. In this episode: ✔ Why advanced solutions can't fix foundational problems ✔ How one habit can create a ripple effect throughout your life ✔ Questions to help you identify your "overflowing faucet" ✔ Simple ways to rebuild momentum without adding more to your plate ✔ Why consistency beats complexity every time Want to dive even deeper?
