24. Hangovers, Failures & Consumerism

About this episode

Maya recaps her weekend hangover and public speaking experience while discussing consumerism and mindful spending as a mom.

In this episode, I’m recapping my night out & weekend hangover experience. I also open up about my most recent public speaking experience — the nerves, the slip-ups, the learning curves, and how I’m redefining what “failure” means in this season of my life. We’re also diving into a bigger conversation around consumerism, mindful spending, and money anxiety , especially as a mom navigating inconsistent income and real-life pressures. This episode is honest, reflective, and full of the small mindset shifts I’m leaning on right now. If you’re in your growth era, finding your voice, rebuilding your relationship with money, or learning to trust yourself through the ups and downs — you’ll feel right at home here.
