“I Am Maria: A Journey Through Conversation” Featuring Maria Shriver and Special Guest Martha Beck
Enjoy tuning into the latest episode of our brand-new series, I Am Maria: A Journey Through Conversation, featuring award-winning journalist Maria Shriver and world-renowned life coach Martha Beck! During this soul-stirring conversation between dear friends, Maria and Martha dive into identity, communion, and the courage to stand in your own "I Am"—regardless of what the world expects of you.
You’ll learn how Maria’s journey through heartbreak, fear and loss created a pathway to her more authentic, tender and powerful existence—and why she believes sharing personal experiences with heartbreak and healing can serve as a roadmap for others dealing with similar challenges.

Martha guides us through Maria’s remarkable transformation, chronicled in her new book I Am Maria, from a woman defined by external identities—a Kennedy, a journalist, a First Lady—to someone who has excavated her authentic self through poetry, meditation, and radical honesty.
"When my mother died, my father died, my uncle died, my marriage ended and my role as First Lady came to an end all within two years, I found myself looking in the mirror asking: Who is this person standing here?" Maria reveals. "I felt like I was dissolving. And I was right."
Together, they explore the strength of vulnerability, the power of connecting with others, and the bravery of dissolving everything you thought you were in order to discover who you truly are. Featuring a special poetry reading by Kate Bear, this event is not just a book discussion—it's an invitation to discover the poet within yourself.
