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.

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.

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?

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.
