Chapter 1: What can I learn from Maria Shriver's life lessons?
for you to share those words where you're like, here's my intention and God lead me. I really try to sit in silence. I do my meditation and I sit in silence to try to hear my voice, try to hear God's voice, try to hear where I'm being directed.
I am so excited to say, get ready for a life-changing episode today with one of the most inspiring, wise, absolutely magnificent people I have ever had the gift of meeting and knowing. This person and her wisdom have changed and shaped my life in profound ways. And I know this conversation can do that for you today, too.
Today, I am just so excited and truly honored that the iconic, legendary Maria Shriver is here with you and me. And I'm just going to give you a heads up right now. This will be an episode you'll want to save and share with everyone you know because the lessons Maria shares are the ones you want to take root in your life, in your spirit, and
They're truly tools to pull out of your toolbox and lean on. On those days that you might be doubting that who you are is enough. On the days you might be tempted to stay in that unhealthy relationship or friendship even longer, knowing you're betraying yourself by staying.
On the days when you need to practice forgiveness or feel more inspired to use the gifts your creator gave you to help impact others and the world.
Identity is such a fluid thing. You know, we're a student, we're someone's child, we're someone's wife, we're someone's partner, we're such and such at a job. And I think the fear is if that job goes away, if that relationship goes away, if any of this goes away, will we be okay on our own? Will anybody love us on our own? Will anybody see us?
I got fired from a job early on when I was the anchor of the CBS Morning News. I got fired. The whole show got fired. I had made the mistake of thinking that the show was my family. I had made the mistake of thinking that the show loved me, that everybody there were my great, great friends and would be there for me always. And then it was over. And I never made that mistake again.
We think like, oh, if I just achieve enough, then I'll be worthy of love. Then I'll be enough. And I've always been... I had that too. Yeah. The first time you and I met and we were having lunch and you shared something that just sort of like stopped me in my tracks.
I got to get going. I got to get going with my life. I got to get going. And she said to me, where are you going? And I'm like, what do you mean, where am I going? She goes, where are you in such a hurry to go? And I was like, where am I in a hurry to go? wow, I have no idea. I have no idea where I'm trying to go. And she goes, I want you to think about that.

Chapter 2: How can I practice forgiveness and self-acceptance?
You don't know where you're going and you're in a hurry to get there.
Saying I love you. Yeah. I love you. What role did I love you play in growing up with you and your parents? None.
None. Yeah. I wanted to change that for my own mothering. I wanted to do some of the things my mother did, but I wanted to be softer. Did she ever say I love you to you?
Chapter 3: What is the significance of hearing your inner voice?
I love the idea that success leaves clues, and I love it even more when we have the blessing of being around incredible people who are willing to share those clues with us so that we can not only take shortcuts in our own journey toward what success looks like in our own lives, but also so that we can truly feel connected together, less alone, more enough, more fully alive and more worthy.
And this conversation with Maria today does that and so much more. Moving humanity forward is her ministry. Maria Shriver is an Emmy Award winning, Gracie Award winning, Peabody Award winning, Lifetime Achievement Alzheimer's Association Award winning journalist, author and member of the legendary and iconic Shriver and Kennedy families.
She's the author of the brand new, number one New York Times bestselling book, I Am Maria, filled with the most beautiful poetry. It's out now. Make sure to grab your copy. She's the founder of The Sunday Paper. You can get her incredible content at MariaSchreiberSundayPaper.com. We'll link to it in the show notes.
Chapter 4: How do I decide who I am beyond my roles?
She's also the former first lady of California and the founder of the Women's Alzheimer's Movement. She was married to former governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and is the daughter of Sergeant Shriver, who founded the Peace Corps, and Eunice Kennedy Shriver, who founded the Special Olympics. She's also the niece of the late President John F. Kennedy.
She's a mom of four amazing children, Catherine, Patrick, Christina, and Christopher, and she's a grandma. And yet, just like you and me, she's separate and independent of all of those jobs and roles and labels. She is, most powerfully, Maria. And that is more than enough.
And I want to ask you right now, when you think of all of the roles that you're known for and play in your own life, whether it's mom or friend or wife or sister, daughter, boss, and you strip those away, you're left with who you innately are. And do you believe right now in this very moment that who you are innately is fully enough?

Chapter 6: How can my actions make a difference in the world?
And so I think that's a journey that we all go on. What I've seen with this book is that everybody that's picked it up has said to me, I went on my own journey with it, or this is also my life. I too have struggled with grief. I too have struggled with feeling small. I too have struggled with my parents. I too have struggled with invisibility. I think we live in such a fast-paced world.
We live in a world where everybody asks us what we do. Yes. And I think that makes people feel like what they do might not be enough to make you interested in talking to them, make you interested in spending time with them. And I think society tells you that what you do is who you are. And I'm trying to say, that's not who you are.
And you get to decide who you are and you get to decide how to introduce yourself. You get to decide how to stand in your own being. You get to decide if you're enough and what that means to you.
I remember... The first time you and I met and we were having lunch and you shared something that just sort of like stopped me in my track. We need to pause for a super brief break. And while we do, take a moment to share this episode with every single person that you know who this could inspire.
Because this conversation can truly be the words and inspiration they need to hear today to keep going, to remember that they matter and to feel less alone and more enough, more connected and more worthy.
I am so excited for this book. You know why? Because it's going to save so many people. It's going to save you. Worthy, your new beautiful book Worthy. Get this book. This book, I'm telling you, it's a book that can change anybody's life who picks it up. Anybody who's ever felt that they were not good enough, didn't measure up. Something's missing in your life. I have to tell you. It's powerful.
It's happening. It's worth it.
Imagine, what would you do if you fully believed in you? I went from struggling waitress facing nonstop rejection to founder of IT Cosmetics, a billion dollar company, by learning how to overcome self-doubt and believe I'm worthy of my hopes and dreams. And I'm sharing how you can too in my new book, Worthy, how to believe you are enough and transform your life.
If you're ready to truly trust yourself and break through that barrier of self-doubt and know that where you come from or even where you are right now doesn't determine where you're going, then Worthy is for you. It's time to go from doubting you're enough to knowing you're enough. It's time to step into all of who you are and into the person you were born to be.
