Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Maria Fuentes. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Maria, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today If you had a defining moment that you feel really changed the trajectory of your career, we’d love to hear the story and details.
In my life, there have been numerous defining moments, but one stands out as profoundly impactful: five years ago, I reached a personal rock bottom and decided to seek therapy to mend the one source of joy in my life—my marriage. That pivotal decision initiated a healing journey, rife with both peaks and valleys. Working alongside various professionals transformed not just who I am today, but also equipped me with the ability to extend that help to others.
Maria, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
“I’m a women’s self-mastery coach, specializing in guiding women through emotional navigation, fostering meaningful relationships, and cultivating magnetic confidence. My personal healing journey unveiled a fundamental truth: our emotions steer us as women, impacting every aspect of our lives. Without awareness and regulation, they can disrupt our harmony.
My passion ignited after navigating divorce and enduring toxic relationships, directing me to focus on women’s romantic connections. Drawing from a psychology background and insights derived from diverse professionals, I empower women to achieve self-mastery in their areas of struggle.
Offering various coaching options and crafted programs, I assist women at any life stage, transforming their pain into power by alchemizing their emotions. I deeply believe in the power of personal transformation, where the changes within reflect in their external world. My coaching is deeply personal, tailored to the individual, allowing their surroundings to mirror the new, empowered version of themselves.”
We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?
One of life’s crucial lessons I had to reframe is understanding that we aren’t solely defined by our thoughts. Recognizing ourselves as three distinct entities became the pivotal insight—I realized there’s our true self, our thoughts, and our subconscious.
Often, we operate from our subconscious, letting thoughts govern us. Yet, it’s our true self that we should aspire to reconnect with. To achieve this, I learned to step out of my mental realm and assume the role of an observer to my thoughts. Healing my childhood wounds, which had programmed my subconscious, became imperative in this journey.
Training and knowledge matter of course, but beyond that what do you think matters most in terms of succeeding in your field?
I strongly hold the belief that each of us possesses unique gifts and abilities. In the realm of coaching, I believe our calling is to aid others, walking alongside them in their journey. What truly distinguishes a coach is the ability to guide without assuming superiority.
My approach involves walking hand-in-hand with my clients through their transformational phases. It’s about nurturing growth by being there as they blossom into their fullest potential.
