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.
