Welcome to The Femme Cast—the podcast for women who are truly ready to break free from toxic relationship cycles, choose themselves, and become a magnet for the love they deserve. I’m Maria — Master Energy Healer, Radical Self-Love Leader, and Relationship Mentor. I work with the women who are cycle breakers, grid shakers, and truth layers — the brave souls who came here to dismantle the inherited beliefs that told them they had to chase love, prove their worth, and beg to be chosen. I help them break free from the karmic cycles and generational patterns that keep them stuck in toxic relationships and self-abandonment — so they can unapologetically choose themselves, reclaim their inherent worth, and become magnetic to soul-aligned love, expansive opportunities, and the liberated life they were born to lead. Without ever shrinking, settling, or self-abandoning again. I’ve been where you are, stuck in cycles of chasing love, begging to be chosen, and abandoning myself again and again in the name of love. But I turned my pain into purpose, and now I’m here to help you do the same. Each week, I share personal stories, actionable insights, and a blend of spiritual and practical tools to help you heal from past wounds, reclaim your self-worth, and rewrite your love story. You’ll hear everything from vulnerable truths about my own journey to breaking toxic patterns to empowering lessons that will guide you toward creating the healthy, loving relationships you crave. Join me as we say goodbye to self-abandonment, people-pleasing, and unhealthy dynamics, and hello to radical self-love, emotional freedom, and true empowerment. It’s time to reclaim the version of you who never had to beg to be chosen. You ready? Let’s do this.
Why do we keep chasing people who don’t choose us — even when we know better?
In this powerful, soul-baring episode of The Femme Cast, I break down the emotional addiction behind chasing emotionally unavailable partners — and why breaking free from this cycle feels so hard. Drawing from my own experience during a 7-year relationship hiatus, I share how I treated chasing like an addiction… and how this one shift changed everything.

What do anonymous prank calls, elaborate route detours, and fifth-grade crushes have to do with your love life today?
Turns out… everything.
In this raw, soul-baring episode of The Femme Cast, I take you on a time-traveling trip back to junior high, when love first felt like a game I had to win. These seemingly innocent childhood crushes didn’t just capture my heart; they unknowingly initiated me into a decades-long obsession with em...
What if I told you that the pattern you call “bad luck in love” is actually a trauma response in disguise?
In this soul-baring episode of The Femme Cast, I take you into the raw, unfiltered moment that shattered my illusions about love — the night I found myself on the floor, begging someone to love me. Not because he was worth it. But because, deep down, I still believed I wasn’t.
What followed was a soul-awakening — a brutal and be...
We all have that one moment we’ve buried deep.
The one that creeps back in at 2 a.m., leaving a pit in your stomach.
The moment you swore you’d never tell a soul.
This is mine.
In this raw, unfiltered episode of The Femme Cast, I take you back to the moment I found myself on the floor, crying and begging a man to love me—a man I knew, deep down, was cheating and gaslighting me while swearing he loved me. It was humiliating. C...
We’ve been told to just think positive.
To manifest through our mindset.
To smile through the ache.
But what if the very emotions you've been taught to suppress... are actually your greatest source of power?
In this raw and revolutionary episode of The Femme Cast, I’m finally sharing the story I promised I would—the one about the silent meditation retreat in Thailand that turned out to be anything but heal...
We stay too long.
We hold on too tight.
And sometimes, we love the potential more than the person in front of us.
In this soul-baring episode of The Femme Cast, I open up about the terrifying — and ultimately liberating — moment I realized I was clinging to a relationship that no longer aligned with my truth.
Not because I didn’t know better… but because I was afraid.
Afraid he might change — but for someone else.
Afraid thi...
It hit me like a lightning bolt:
"That’s it. I’m done. I have nothing left to give."
That moment marked the end of chasing, shape-shifting, and settling. What I thought would be a short break from dating spiraled into a seven-year relationship hiatus—not out of bitterness, but out of something far more sacred: a call to come home to myself.
In this deeply vulnerable episode of The Femme Cast, I share the truth behind my...
What if the chaos you're resisting is actually the medicine your soul's been asking for?
In this raw, soul-cracking episode of The Femme Cast, I take you behind the scenes of a moment that changed everything—the night I was trapped by a tropical storm on a remote beach in Thailand, no way out, and nowhere to hide… not even from myself.
Cut off from distractions, coping mechanisms, and the outside world, I had no choice but ...
What if the most selfless act you could take… is the one that disappoints everyone else?
If you’ve been conditioned to believe that love is earned through over-giving, self-sacrifice, and constantly pleasing others—this episode of The Femme Cast might shake something deep within you. I know, because for most of my life, I was the woman who believed that being “good” meant abandoning myself. I gave until I was empty. I performed for...
What if the very behaviors we were praised for—being “nice,” giving endlessly, and putting everyone else first—are the same ones keeping us disconnected from our power, our purpose, and the love we truly deserve?
In this unapologetically honest and soul-stirring episode of The Femme Cast, I go way deeper than just toxic relationships and surface-level healing. We’re pulling back the curtain on generations of conditioning that taught...
Have you ever wondered why you keep attracting emotionally unavailable partners, draining situationships, or friendships that leave you feeling unseen—even though you’ve been doing so much inner work?
In this episode of The Femme Cast, I’m taking you deep into the four relationship shifts that completely transformed my love life, my friendships, and the way I relate to myself. These weren’t quick mindset hacks or fluffy self-help ti...
Have you been feeling an overwhelming resistance to the very life you’ve worked so hard to build?
You're not alone—and it’s not just burnout.
In this raw, soul-stirring episode of The Femme Cast, I’m pulling back the curtain on a collective uprising happening in women’s bodies, minds, and spirits—a full-body no more to the self-sacrificing systems we’ve been conditioned to uphold for generations.
This isn’t about needing a break.

If you’ve been feeling deeply exhausted, disoriented, and like you don’t recognize yourself lately — you’re not alone. I’ve been feeling it too. In this episode of The Femme Cast, I’m sharing a raw, unscripted, channeled message about what I believe is really going on beneath the surface.
So many of us are going through what I’m calling a “quiet reset.” It’s not a breakdown. It’s not self-sabotage. It’s your soul calling you to slow...
Have you ever driven somewhere and realized you don't have a single clue how you got there? That’s exactly how people pleasing can steer your life — silently, unconsciously — until one day you wake up wondering, "How the hell did I get here?"
In today’s episode of The Femme Cast, I’m diving deep into the invisible but massive impact people pleasing has on the trajectory of your life — and how to break free.
As a recove...
Have you ever found yourself obsessively drawn to someone you knew wasn’t right for you—and then judged yourself for it?
This episode of The Femme Cast is about to blow the lid off what attraction really means.
The truth is: attraction isn't random. It’s coded into your spiritual DNA as a divine mechanism for healing and evolution. Those magnetic pulls? They're not mistakes—they're soul compasses pointing you toward th...
TRIGGER WARNING: This is the advice I avoided for YEARS because I knew it would force me to face every insecurity I had. But the truth? It was the ONLY thing that finally broke the cycle of toxic relationships and made me a magnet for healthy, loving relationships.
If you keep attracting the same emotionally unavailable partners—the ghosters, the breadcrumbers, the ones who leave you on standby until something “better” comes along—i...
Ghosting can feel like a punch to the gut—leaving you questioning what went wrong and spiraling into self-doubt. But here’s the thing: your energy is too valuable to waste on someone who can't communicate with respect. In this episode of The Femme Cast, I challenge the common advice to "play it cool" when a ghoster comes crawling back. True empowerment isn't about acting unaffected—it's about recognizing yo...
Why do we chase after people who can’t fully love us back? The answer runs deeper than we think.
In this powerful episode of The Femme Cast, I take you inside my personal journey—how a childhood spent longing to hear “I love you” from my father unknowingly shaped my adult relationships. Every emotionally unavailable man I chased was a reflection of that little girl inside me, still hoping for validation, still craving those three si...
Have you ever felt like the harder you chase love, the further it seems to run from you? Like every time you try to prove your worth, convince someone to choose you, or hold on tighter, they only slip further away? And faster.
In this episode of The Femme Cast, we’re diving deep into the energetics of chasing, why it never works, and how this pattern is actually by divine design—pushing you toward the real lesson or pain you’ve been...
Every relationship, whether fleeting or long-term, leaves a mark. Some teach us what we don’t want, while others reveal what we truly desire. But if we don’t pause to reflect, we risk repeating toxic cycles and attracting the same emotionally unavailable partners.
In this episode of The Femme Cast, we’re diving deep into the lessons our past relationships leave behind—how they shape our self-worth, our non-negotiables, and our abili...
