What does it truly mean to come home to yourself?
How do we disentangle our authentic voice from the parasocial relationships and predetermined narratives that others impose upon us? How do you rediscover yourself after decades of living for others?
My guest today is Maria Shriver, award-winning journalist, bestselling author, and pioneering advocate for women’s brain health. Born into America’s most prominent political dynasty, Maria has navigated life under extraordinary public scrutiny while undertaking her own interior journey toward wholeness. Her new book, “I AM MARIA,” represents a striking departure from her previous work—a collection of poetry that charts her evolution from external validation to self-acceptance.
“The work of being enough is an inside job. It has to do with my relationship with God, my relationship with my faith, my relationship with myself.”
– MARIA SHRIVER
Today, we discuss:
- Poetry as a Path to Self-Discovery
- Growing Up in American Political Royalty
- Healing After Public Heartbreak
- Pioneering Women’s Brain Health Research
- The Journey to Self-Acceptance & Forgiveness
For those who prefer a visual experience, the conversation is available on YouTube. As always, the audio version streams wild and free on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
