Maria Failla: Finding Our Alignment "Off the Path"

Maria is a "plant lady by day and a cat lady by night" as she travels with the National Tour of Cats the Musical and is also the Founder and Host of the very popular Bloom and Grow Radio Podcast and Youtube Show. As a professional singer she was in the Broadway Company of Cats the Musical (Broadway Revival) and toured nationally and internationally with West Side Story, Evita and The Sound of Music. She developed her passion for houseplant care while in Cats on Broadway. With Bloom and Grow Radio, Maria is a self-proclaimed "Plant Killer turned Plant Lady" on a mission to help every person successfully care for houseplants- no matter how small their home is. She believes if you can learn the empathy and kindness required to care for plants, you'll bring those skills into the world and make it a kinder and greener place. Beth Clayton (your host) is a soul-based life and health coach and loves to help open-hearted people break free from their own self-sabotage, outdated thought patterns, and past pain so they can deepen their relationship with their own soul’s intuition, speak their truth courageously and fulfill their most authentic desires. She is the creator of multiple group programs, retreats, and transformational workshops, leading hundreds of truth-seekers toward finding freedom and ease in their relationship with food, their bodies, their lives and ultimately, themselves. In this episode, Beth and Maria: ● Maria’s synchronistic journey from unemployed actor to Broadway debut an unexpected path toward a booming podcast and the birth of a new dream. ● How Maria’s relationship with her body has transformed throughout her performing career and how that has impacted the success she has found in many areas of her life. ● The role that manifestation and visualization has played in Maria’s synchronistic journey. ● The importance of alignment before action as we take our next “right” step. ● How Maria is super intentional about staying in a state of “flow” instead of “forcing,” even as she handles a super busy touring, performing and recording schedule. ● The importance of surrender and letting go of our attachments to the ways things are supposed to go. ● Why authenticity and vulnerability aren’t always what we think they are. ● Why self-care is so much deeper than baths, wine, and mani-pedis and can often be difficult and challenging work.
