From Pushing to Peace: How to Live in Alignment with Maggie Habieda l S2089

Sometimes the greatest act of courage is to stop pushing and start listening to your body, your intuition, and your soul.

In this heartfelt follow-up to episode 85, where Maggie Habieda joined Sandra Tadros and me for a beautiful conversation on grief and growth, Maggie returns for a deeper dive into what it means to truly live in alignment.

In this episode, you’ll explore:

  • How to shift from pressure and performance into presence and peace
  • The power of living in alignment with your values instead of expectations
  • What it really means to love yourself through authenticity and intentional choices

Maggie’s journey as a portrait artist and soulful visionary continues to inspire, and our conversation is an invitation to slow down, tune in, and live from the inside out.

About our Guest

Maggie Habieda is an iconic portrait artist celebrated for her ability to photograph people at their very best, capturing not just beauty, but the essence of love, dreams, and—most recently—a deep sense of authenticity. Throughout her artistic journey, Maggie has been on an ongoing quest for meaning, both in her personal growth and in her creative work. Her friendship with Linda, reflected in countless walks by the lake and heartfelt conversations, has accompanied Maggie through the challenges of business, the evolution of her techniques, and the ups and downs of life.

Now, Maggie finds herself questioning the structures and pressures that society places on individuals, striving instead to create work and live a life that is aligned with her soul’s true mission. For Maggie, true fulfillment comes from embracing authenticity and rediscovering the real reasons behind her art—moving beyond external expectations and reconnecting with her inner purpose. Her story is one of continual learning and reflection, rooted in gratitude for the strong connections and journey she shares with others.

About Linda:

Have you ever battled overwhelming anxiety, fear, self-limiting beliefs, soul fatigue or stress? It can leave you feeling so lonely and helpless. We’ve all been taught how to be courageous when we face physical threats but when it comes to matters of the heart and soul we are often left to learn, "the hard way."

As a school teacher for over 30+ years, struggling with these very issues, my doctor suggested anti-anxiety medication but that didn't resonate with me so I sought the healing arts. I expanding my teaching skills and became a yoga, meditation, mindfulness, reiki and sound healer to step into my power and own my impact. 

A Call for Love will teach you how to find the courage to hold space for your fears and tears. To learn how to love and respect yourself and others more deeply.  

My mission is to guide you on your journey. I believe we can help transform the world around us by choosing love. If you don’t love yourself, how can you love anyone else? Join a call for love.

Speaker:

Welcome back to A Call for Love, and I have

Speaker:

a guest here who was on recently. Her name

Speaker:

is Maggie Habida, and she was on episode

Speaker:

85 with Sandra Trados. And

Speaker:

welcome, Maggie. Today, we are talking about

Speaker:

stop pushing. Live in alignment.

Speaker:

So welcome, Maggie. I'm so happy to have you here again,

Speaker:

and I wanna share this conversation because I know we've had this

Speaker:

conversation personally. And it was

Speaker:

like just the two of us talking, it was like bing bing bing. Yes.

Speaker:

Yes. Yes. Of course. Of course. This is exactly

Speaker:

what we're both going through. So let's dive deep into this. First

Speaker:

of all, tell us a little bit about yourself. I

Speaker:

I just wanna say how thrilled I am to be having this

Speaker:

discussion with you. And I I'm Maggie

Speaker:

Abiera. I'm an iconic portrait artist,

Speaker:

so I photograph people at their best. I've I've I capture

Speaker:

beauty, love, and dreams. But now the word

Speaker:

love still is the biggest word for me, but I'm adding more

Speaker:

to it. Actually, authenticity

Speaker:

is my the big word for me. And the the reason for

Speaker:

our discussion today is this this incredible

Speaker:

learning that came up. And you and I, Linda, we have a journey.

Speaker:

We've known each other for a very long time, and we've talked

Speaker:

so much. Our walks to the lake, to the nature,

Speaker:

and, and we have witnessed our growth

Speaker:

together. We've been through the ups and downs and learning about

Speaker:

business, learning about new techniques, learning about

Speaker:

rules to go by. And where are we at the end

Speaker:

of it all today? Where are we today? Because as you always say, it's a

Speaker:

journey. It's never ending journey. But where we at, where I

Speaker:

am at is, like, I'm starting to question. Everything

Speaker:

that's built, designed is to push us,

Speaker:

push us to do what? And and, you know,

Speaker:

we at the end of the day, we are exhausted. We beat

Speaker:

ourselves up that we didn't get things done. And

Speaker:

and, yes, there's so much to do. But finding

Speaker:

the real meaning in what we do, what we're here for, knowing

Speaker:

our mission in this world, but the mission

Speaker:

has to be in alignment with our soul. So how

Speaker:

can another human know what we need? Even, like,

Speaker:

there's so many, like, in business, if you wanna learn, you don't know. Knowledge

Speaker:

is power. But what if it feels not like,

Speaker:

it feels like everything is pressure for this, for that?

Speaker:

Everything is is designed to by other

Speaker:

people to this word, I don't even like this word,

Speaker:

like, control, and everything has to be nine to five or every

Speaker:

I don't know. Within. Everything has structure. And and, you

Speaker:

know, the expectations of us is so high. And,

Speaker:

at the end of the day, when you're so exhausted and you

Speaker:

don't even know why you're here doing all this, that's not

Speaker:

living. And so I have come, and I couldn't

Speaker:

be more grateful for you to have

Speaker:

this same as we always do. We

Speaker:

really agree on so many things like that. Our

Speaker:

alignment is just so

Speaker:

what would you call it? Strong. Strong. And and it's just

Speaker:

so simple. You know, we we will not see each other

Speaker:

for quite a while. Like, we go into gaps, right, where we we see

Speaker:

each other and we don't. And, honestly, when I see you, it's

Speaker:

like zero time has passed. Because Always.

Speaker:

Always. Always. And that's that's the thing is that, you know, there are

Speaker:

some relationships that are, air quotes, work.

Speaker:

Like, they are a lot of work. And, you know, everything

Speaker:

requires some conscientious,

Speaker:

thoughtfulness towards it. Work is is probably a negative

Speaker:

adjective for a relationship. But what I mean is is that

Speaker:

when you can be with somebody who

Speaker:

you feel is accepting of you unconditionally

Speaker:

unconditionally, and just just sees

Speaker:

beyond your humanistic limitations

Speaker:

and can hold space for the best part of you,

Speaker:

then it becomes a very easy and

Speaker:

enjoyable and abundant and inspiring connection

Speaker:

relationship. Oh, it's incredible because, look,

Speaker:

like, we know this from our experiences. Nothing is ever a problem.

Speaker:

You know, we somehow, like, we both agree, okay, we're gonna spend this much time.

Speaker:

We're gonna do this, or what are you working on on? What are the conversations

Speaker:

are effortless? These are beautiful. There's it's always what

Speaker:

we need, isn't it? We walk away feeling feeling uplifted

Speaker:

by each other, never ever drained. And if we, for

Speaker:

whatever reason, we feel our energies of or whatever,

Speaker:

we connect when we do in a it's a divine time. Isn't

Speaker:

it divine? I love that. And that's exactly what we were talking

Speaker:

about, Maggie. I I was saying to Maggie

Speaker:

personally, and then we decided we would have this conversation, is

Speaker:

that I love the word divine, and I don't think of it

Speaker:

as religious. I think of it as just like this higher, essence,

Speaker:

you know, this universal consciousness. And what happens

Speaker:

is is that I wake up in the morning, and of course,

Speaker:

there's so many things, as you said before, our world has

Speaker:

so many, demands of us, and there's so many things to do each

Speaker:

day. But and I have my list. But you know, when

Speaker:

it comes to sitting down, I'm like, okay,

Speaker:

where am I divinely guided to?

Speaker:

What is where is the flow? And

Speaker:

flow for me is is in alignment, like you

Speaker:

say, the word alignment. Where is the flow to bring me

Speaker:

in alignment of what to I should do for my highest good

Speaker:

and for the good of others? That is so beautifully said. What

Speaker:

is this alignment? It's the lightness in here. It's

Speaker:

like it feels light. It feels right. It feels

Speaker:

it and it's this I I I I think

Speaker:

it's just like listening to yourself, and it's healthy intuition,

Speaker:

healthy. Right? Where you just truly,

Speaker:

you just allowing for things. Of course, you know what you like.

Speaker:

Yeah. You you go accordingly to your values and

Speaker:

your beliefs and your passions, all of that. But worse,

Speaker:

like, sometimes the speed. Why do we need to be, like,

Speaker:

have hundred things on our list to do? Why do we

Speaker:

need to the the time frames? Time for what, really?

Speaker:

We got to know what is this life about. There's a deep

Speaker:

and deeper meaning here. And and, you know, yes, we

Speaker:

do need resources for living and, you know, all of that,

Speaker:

but all of that also is energy. And if it's

Speaker:

if that energy is so synchronized within our,

Speaker:

you know, the the healthy intuition, you know

Speaker:

what? I think there's a bigger picture here. We need to

Speaker:

slow down and each person we're going through this involution. Right?

Speaker:

Everybody's looking inside themselves. And I think with the

Speaker:

most beautiful times, what we're going through as humanity right

Speaker:

now, it's some kind of cleanup. I don't know what to call it. I feel

Speaker:

it. I I I am recognizing it's some

Speaker:

beautiful process we're

Speaker:

going through. And we and to go through it together, you know, we

Speaker:

go in on our own when we, you know, cleaning the chaos and

Speaker:

and really kind of allowing the the

Speaker:

the, the our spirit souls, right,

Speaker:

to to listening to it. So everybody's

Speaker:

different, but look as different as we are. And when we share

Speaker:

this beautiful energy together, I think that's

Speaker:

magnified. And that's a guide in a

Speaker:

direction that we're choosing the right things without nobody

Speaker:

telling us because I'm not telling you what to do. You're not telling me what

Speaker:

I need to do. But when we together, when we even having

Speaker:

discussion, and when we're sitting next to each other, Linda, or when we've been

Speaker:

seeing each other like this, it just everything

Speaker:

feels so good. And it's and it's not

Speaker:

like it's not the kind of neediness, you know, oh my god. I need it.

Speaker:

Because we we just allow it to happen when it does happen. That's

Speaker:

my full point here. Everything in this

Speaker:

divine time. But just Yeah. I love that

Speaker:

because don't you find when you push your

Speaker:

agenda, it comes from your egoic

Speaker:

mind, you're pushing your agenda, and you hit these hard

Speaker:

walls. It's just like it Yeah. It and, you know,

Speaker:

it's it doesn't work or it's forced. I call

Speaker:

it manic manifesting. Yes. And you know what? You know,

Speaker:

perseverance and and, you know, you

Speaker:

got to achieve your goals and you got to do do more than you

Speaker:

can actually. It's it's a way of some kind

Speaker:

of ideas of people who

Speaker:

have created that for you know? Like, I I I don't

Speaker:

even wanna discuss with other people, but I'm talking

Speaker:

individually for myself that I've always believed that I have to be

Speaker:

more every time I have to you know? And that

Speaker:

actually the idea of that pressure, me as an

Speaker:

artist maybe because I'm an artist, and I like being a free

Speaker:

soul. And if, you know, somebody wants you to be other than

Speaker:

that, because in business, there are these rules, there's this, there's

Speaker:

this. For whom and for what?

Speaker:

You know? Like, if we were in more in alignment with what our

Speaker:

souls were and everybody was actually open minded to everybody

Speaker:

else, oh my god. I think we would have more alignment and

Speaker:

more would come out of this approach than these

Speaker:

two rules. So let's just,

Speaker:

like, break up break down the word alignment.

Speaker:

Yeah. Yeah. You know, I think that there's a lot of buzzwords going

Speaker:

around right now, like mindfulness and,

Speaker:

you know, alignment and manifesting and

Speaker:

intentions and all those things. But, you know,

Speaker:

when you have the theory of the word versus

Speaker:

the application of the word, it's a very

Speaker:

different concept because this is not new to people.

Speaker:

But I really ask the listeners to

Speaker:

stop now. Not stop if you're driving or

Speaker:

doing something, but, just stop to moment to pause and

Speaker:

think. You know, are you going in this moment or

Speaker:

doing something that you don't necessarily,

Speaker:

you have to do and some things you have to do, but some things you

Speaker:

know that are keeping you behind

Speaker:

or stuck. Oh, I I think even

Speaker:

more so because, you know, when we, like, are over our capacity

Speaker:

as humans. Right? We're exhausted, but we have deadlines. We got to finish this.

Speaker:

We got to do this. We got to do this. There's 20 more things. And

Speaker:

we run like chickens with heads cut off. And and

Speaker:

you know what? Why is it that we don't pause and

Speaker:

stop and listen to the body? We got to do what the body is

Speaker:

capable of doing. Right? Because the body is

Speaker:

such a great measuring tool. We'll tell you what you need,

Speaker:

when you need it, or how you need it. Because when you stop, when you

Speaker:

pause, and you take care of your good care of yourself, what you're actually doing,

Speaker:

when you're ready to do what you need to do, you're twice as productive. Taking

Speaker:

care of your mind, taking care of your soul, taking care of your body,

Speaker:

all of these things are meaningful. And then, of course, they say about

Speaker:

this cup being full. If you if you take

Speaker:

care of yourself, you'll be better for others, not the other way. Because we, women,

Speaker:

especially Linda, tell me if you agree on this one. We've been conditioned

Speaker:

that, you know, we give everything of ourselves to others, to children, to husbands,

Speaker:

to, people, to business, to clients, to everything. And what

Speaker:

happens to us at the end? We are people pleasers. We drained completely.

Speaker:

So now when the society wants so much of us, I'm gonna ask this one

Speaker:

question. So what? We build success. We build

Speaker:

this. We build businesses. But it's striving

Speaker:

for so much. And what is so much? Is it like, do

Speaker:

we wanna be the richest people at the cemetery? Are we gonna take

Speaker:

everything with us? Or we're gonna enjoy this

Speaker:

moment as we go through this life? Because this mission on this

Speaker:

planet is very short, isn't it? And it's

Speaker:

very short. I I I I I am aware of it. I

Speaker:

I wanna I I really wanna more enjoy

Speaker:

this. And, last thing I'll say and add to it, what does

Speaker:

being in the present mean? And it like, I I had this discussion

Speaker:

with somebody I haven't seen for, like, ten years yesterday. What does

Speaker:

being in the present moment means? It doesn't or

Speaker:

live for the present. Doesn't mean that you have to pause your life forever

Speaker:

and and not worry about what to plan for the future or totally

Speaker:

forget the past. Present moment means

Speaker:

that when you and I connect, when we're sitting

Speaker:

here, we were put here for a reason, for this moment.

Speaker:

That's why we, you know, we don't allow we're not thinking

Speaker:

about other things. We just think of each other. So if we can

Speaker:

each day allow for what's happening in the moment and just

Speaker:

that one moment and make up the whole day of those moments,

Speaker:

allow another moment, allow another moment, this is the flow

Speaker:

we're talking about. Isn't it? Absolutely.

Speaker:

Absolutely. Beautiful. You know, it's

Speaker:

I love what you say, what is the present moment.

Speaker:

For me, it's like,

Speaker:

I read somewhere and I've heard that, you

Speaker:

know, when you stop to talk,

Speaker:

you're already the past is already gone. It's already

Speaker:

gone. Like our the beginning of our conversation

Speaker:

is already gone. It's done. The only moment is

Speaker:

really now, and in order to tap into that,

Speaker:

I feel like I need more pause, more

Speaker:

pause to go a little bit slower. Now I tend

Speaker:

to be, actually, even though I'm a meditation guide and,

Speaker:

Reiki master, all those beautiful modalities, I

Speaker:

tend to be quite a fast person. But

Speaker:

when I'm slowing down or when I'm talking to

Speaker:

somebody or when I need to respond to somebody, I do

Speaker:

go slower and I do create those pauses

Speaker:

in order to be more present and to be the present

Speaker:

moment. Because I think, actually, as you had touched

Speaker:

upon, then we can respond

Speaker:

to life with greater kindness and compassion

Speaker:

as opposed to reacting from our habitual self.

Speaker:

Yes. And and you know

Speaker:

what? This is this is so profound.

Speaker:

Truly that if somebody understands it but I think you need to get to that

Speaker:

stage. You need to go through a lot of cleanup, a lot a lot of

Speaker:

alone time, which COVID allowed that. It was the beginning of

Speaker:

that involution that we I I don't see the same things the

Speaker:

same way as as before. And I think it's like that for many.

Speaker:

And and, Linda, I think this whole shift and the fact

Speaker:

that, you know, people are, like, marriage is breaking

Speaker:

up, people losing their homes, economy is not

Speaker:

this, or what we wanted to be. Everything is, like, I think we

Speaker:

like, all this materialistic world that we've built

Speaker:

and, you know, everything by structure,

Speaker:

you know, I I'm not gonna mention politics or or religion

Speaker:

anything of that. I'm just talking about we humans and

Speaker:

everyday to do living. I think we need to simplify our

Speaker:

lives. Yeah. We need to simplify. And this is what you're

Speaker:

saying, slowing down, slowing down, and really

Speaker:

just being good to ourselves

Speaker:

and getting what we can do.

Speaker:

Getting done. Right? Like, we were talking about the to do list. That's where we

Speaker:

started our conversation with. We did. Pressure. No

Speaker:

pressure. Do what you can do, and you will get done what

Speaker:

what's most important to you. Because now it's like cutting

Speaker:

out the the noise, cutting out everything because, of

Speaker:

course, everybody wants you, every part of you.

Speaker:

Right? And that also comes to do

Speaker:

with people pleasing, peep pleasing the world.

Speaker:

But I am so such a believer that

Speaker:

please yourself first, and all you're asking of yourself is

Speaker:

rest and calmness

Speaker:

and lightness. This is the most

Speaker:

beautiful thing that we could ask for and grant it

Speaker:

to ourselves. And that's when the alignment happens. That's when

Speaker:

the, wow, all of a sudden, this works, this works, that works.

Speaker:

And I didn't put that as much effort as before I was fighting with everything,

Speaker:

almost. Yeah. So so beautiful.

Speaker:

And, Maggie, that makes me think of so on A Call for Love,

Speaker:

when I interview the guests most often, I

Speaker:

ask them a question, and I would like to ask you this question.

Speaker:

Okay? So Yes. A Call for Love, as you know, is all

Speaker:

about noticing how you're living, which is exactly

Speaker:

what we're talking about. Are you living in a place of

Speaker:

separation driven by the ego and,

Speaker:

based on fear or lower vibrations? Or is there

Speaker:

a call for love? So what do you do

Speaker:

when you feel out of alignment and not living

Speaker:

from your higher self? How do you shift to love

Speaker:

and realign with your higher self?

Speaker:

But that that's a great question, and it's a very in-depth

Speaker:

question if it comes to me. I have

Speaker:

always believed in love, always. And I loved

Speaker:

everyone and everybody equally.

Speaker:

And through this separation period that

Speaker:

we all had to separate and be on our own, or you're really

Speaker:

just not listening to the all those that you love and you give everything of

Speaker:

yourself, you start to listen to yourself. I started listening, being

Speaker:

alone with myself. I've really I learned

Speaker:

how to understand

Speaker:

myself better and and truly and figure out what is

Speaker:

my purpose here. And my biggest growth and learning

Speaker:

is to be authentic. When I

Speaker:

say authentic is is speaking

Speaker:

your truth speaking your truth. And when

Speaker:

because what is love, really? Love is you in

Speaker:

agreement. Love is when things flow.

Speaker:

I I love is something that's positive, that's

Speaker:

warm, that's great, that I'm not talking about

Speaker:

romantic loss because there's so many different forms of love, but

Speaker:

there's only one love. There's one love. Right? And love

Speaker:

is love. And, and when you

Speaker:

that you just you you talk you can talk all you want,

Speaker:

but it's you got to feel it. You have to live it.

Speaker:

And what is love? Love is something healthy.

Speaker:

It's if we talk about extremes, too much of

Speaker:

this or not enough of this and beyond the extreme

Speaker:

side of either one of those, none of that is good.

Speaker:

None of that lasts. And but when you

Speaker:

put yourself in somewhere in the middle, which is called balance,

Speaker:

finding balance, what balance means for you. And I think we as

Speaker:

humans, we share a lot of things in common.

Speaker:

And the energy is one thing that we share. And,

Speaker:

and I think time starts to mean less to me because

Speaker:

it doesn't matter how long I I feel fulfilled. When you're in peace with yourself,

Speaker:

when you've got that balance, you're not in a hurry to nothing.

Speaker:

And, you know, you whatever this mission is, we were put into

Speaker:

here for whatever time. We're gonna make sure we

Speaker:

live in the present, the good to ourselves.

Speaker:

And when you're good to yourself in a beautiful way, you're good to

Speaker:

others. And and you don't need to say it once again. We don't need to

Speaker:

use words. It's all feeling. It's all feeling. We can

Speaker:

communicate through just our energy,

Speaker:

and we know what we mean because things good

Speaker:

things happen in a least resistant

Speaker:

way. It's more natural way way.

Speaker:

Isn't that true? That's what I'm going through, and I'm seeing this, and I'm

Speaker:

experiencing this. Yeah. So you had a lot of gems

Speaker:

in what you said. And one thing that really stood out to

Speaker:

me is that when you feel separated

Speaker:

from yourself, that's when you're out of alignment.

Speaker:

And to get back into alignment for you is to

Speaker:

reconnect with yourself because I would guess

Speaker:

and presume that, you know, you have such a big heart. And I

Speaker:

know too when you are so worried about taking other,

Speaker:

people's into consideration, sometimes you forego

Speaker:

your own needs and your own self. And so it's really

Speaker:

listening to what you need to. Because and people think it's

Speaker:

selfish to fill your own cup, but

Speaker:

you fill your own cup so that you can water

Speaker:

the rest of the flowers. You know? You fill it Okay.

Speaker:

Belinda, sorry I interrupted you. No. Go. But I do wanna say about

Speaker:

the self finish. I never understood what that was because

Speaker:

when you, when you have people pleaser, right, when all you

Speaker:

ever do is give, that's your way of living, and that's all you know, right,

Speaker:

until you start to understand what it's all about. Selfishness,

Speaker:

it has it's just I know what

Speaker:

selfishness means because I've experienced it from selfish

Speaker:

people. Yeah. Like and I'm talking extreme people who

Speaker:

would drain you

Speaker:

and destroy you. I don't like to use these big

Speaker:

words, but there are people that will drain,

Speaker:

suck everything out of you. And this is called

Speaker:

selfishness. What are you doing for yourself? You're protecting your

Speaker:

energy from, vampires. And I'm sorry to speak like that. I never

Speaker:

spoke like that, that there are vampires out there. There are sharks.

Speaker:

According I love that little theory. The shark and the

Speaker:

jellyfish. Yeah? So we don't wanna be the be the jellyfish. This

Speaker:

is yours. This is your theory. And and no sharks. No

Speaker:

extremes. Remember? Balance. And I've learned that from

Speaker:

you, Linda. That was so visual for me, the shark and

Speaker:

the jellyfish. So no neither one of his them is good. Shark is

Speaker:

not good. Jellyfish is not good. So what do you do? You take the best

Speaker:

from these two, and you're you're in the center. You're the dolphins.

Speaker:

And and when that happens, when you understand that, then you're

Speaker:

protecting your energy, but you also give you energy when you have it

Speaker:

because now you're no longer depleted. And that's when it's

Speaker:

beautiful, and you choose to give it because not everybody

Speaker:

deserves it. I'm sorry to say because not everybody

Speaker:

deserves it. And when I say that, those who just suck other

Speaker:

people's energy, they need to learn on their own how

Speaker:

to how to regulate themselves and how to get it from

Speaker:

within. True? Because everything comes from within,

Speaker:

and it's all in us. We don't need no one else

Speaker:

to fulfill us, or we don't need to fulfill or

Speaker:

fix somebody or give so much of ourselves that there's nothing left of

Speaker:

us. It's happened to me, and I understand what that means.

Speaker:

So, it it my whole life giving, giving, giving, giving.

Speaker:

And, you know, too much giving is not healthy.

Speaker:

So where's the balance? We're talking about the balance. This is

Speaker:

it. This is balance. It's a beautiful wrap up to this

Speaker:

conversation. It's about I always say, it's about,

Speaker:

paying attention. Paying attention to how you're feeling in your

Speaker:

physical body, you know, maybe it's in your gut, how you

Speaker:

feel physically, because your body will tell you

Speaker:

what is true for you, what is goodness,

Speaker:

kindness, and it'll tell you when it isn't. So it's about

Speaker:

noticing, paying attention, creating intentions

Speaker:

with integrity, with kindness, and then,

Speaker:

taking action steps to honor yourselves without

Speaker:

stepping on other people. And that is the ripple effect.

Speaker:

Really beautiful. And so with that,

Speaker:

Maggie. And you know that jellyfish and

Speaker:

shark and dolphin we had talked about in my hot tub one day.

Speaker:

Remember that? Oh, it does. I always say it was like I love

Speaker:

it. But Buddha does say the middle path, and that is

Speaker:

well, I termed it the dolphin. It's it's the middle path. It's finding the

Speaker:

middle path and and living in your

Speaker:

highest self, your highest integrity so that you can be the light

Speaker:

and the love and the change in the world. And so, Maggie, I

Speaker:

want to thank you for being on A Call for Love,

Speaker:

and you do amazing photography.

Speaker:

And I know everybody heard and learned about you in episode

Speaker:

85. And if you haven't listened to it, please go back and

Speaker:

listen. But Maggie has so much to offer. Just

Speaker:

share how people can find you, Maggie. Oh, I I'm

Speaker:

Linda Orsini

Have you ever battled overwhelming anxiety, fear, self-limiting beliefs, soul fatigue or stress? It can leave you feeling so lonely and helpless. We’ve all been taught how to be courageous when we face physical threats but when it comes to matters of the heart and soul we are often left to learn, "the hard way."

As a school teacher for over 30+ years, struggling with these very issues, my doctor suggested anti-anxiety medication but that didn't resonate with me so I sought the healing arts. I expanding my teaching skills and became a yoga, meditation, mindfulness, reiki and sound healer to step into my power and own my impact.

A Call for Love will teach you how to find the courage to hold space for your fears and tears. To learn how to love and respect yourself and others more deeply.

My mission is to guide you on your journey. I believe we can help transform the world around us by choosing love. If you don’t love yourself, how can you love anyone else. Join a call for love.
