Introducing Architects of Change with Maria Shriver

Every Thursday, Maria sits down with someone who has lived something, lost something, built something or survived something, and asks them what they know now. Her guests are artists and athletes, doctors and scientists, spiritual leaders and teachers, parents and caregivers, survivors and seekers. Some are household names. Some you’ll be meeting for the first time. What connects them is hard-earned wisdom.

For Maria, this show is the work a whole career has been building toward:

“I’m not here to tell people how to live. I’m here to find people who have earned wisdom by living—and ask them to share what they know. This is where age helps, not hurts. I’m past the point of needing to prove that I know something. I know how to get someone else to tell you what they know.”

Here’s what you’ll find in Architects of Change:

• A new conversation every Thursday. Through the end of the year, each episode is ready whenever you are. Watch it over morning coffee or save it for a quiet Sunday.
• Life, in all its fullness. Reinvention, grief, joy, health, faith, family, purpose and possibility. These are the conversations Maria wishes she’d had at every turning point in her own life.
• Something to carry with you. An insight, a question, a practice or a little hope, along with the feeling that you’re walking through life in good company.The next chapter of Life Above the Noise.

If you’ve loved Maria’s Life Above the Noise conversations, this is where they continue, now every single week.

Maybe the show becomes a guide. Maybe it becomes a place to think. Maybe it’s simply a pit stop—a place to sit, rest, listen and gather yourself before heading back out into your life.
