“I Am Maria: A Journey Through Conversation” Featuring Maria Shriver and Special Guest Oprah Winfrey
What would it feel like to gather all the pieces of your story—the grief, the triumphs, the betrayals, the small moments—and weave them back together into wholeness?
That’s the heart of this final episode of I Am Maria: A Journey Through Conversation, where Maria sits down with Oprah for a full-circle moment between two close friends who have continued to lift each other up for 49 years.

Throughout their deeply moving exchange, Maria candidly opens up about:
✨The importance of recognizing when we betray ourselves, and reclaiming those lost fragments to heal and grow
✨Moving beyond the expectations of others to discover our own identity and understand that visibility is an “inside job”
✨Redefining what makes her feel proud of herself after realizing that it comes not from achievements, but instead from loving and connecting with others
✨Why healing isn’t about erasing the past—and that it begins when we accept that we alone are enough
✨Her reaction to learning her new book I Am Maria was a #1 New York Times Bestseller, despite early doubts that poetry could resonate with a wider audience
✨ And so much more!
Wherever you are in your own journey—grieving, healing, searching, or celebrating—this finale is an invitation to come home to yourself.
