Own Your Story

My story? Do you really want to know it? Do I really want to share it? What will you think of me? Will you judge me?
Perhaps you may, but that is none of my business. My story is long and complicated, from childhood to adulthood I repeated the same lessons until I got it. A tale for my book at a later date,  trust me it is interesting, to say the least.

My story came from my soul, it is my personal truth, the very thing that created the healer I am today. When I share my story, people feel safe, supported & heard. It is a simple gift that story telling opens up your heart and shows others you survived, you healed, you did it and so can they.

Being in your power allows your truth to shine brightly, your truth may be exactly what needs to come out for you and other's. I chose to share my vulnerability as a vehicle to demonstrate strength and authenticity in my life.  My pattern had been taught to me from childhood, to hide and act like none of "it" was true, don't let anyone outside the family know your business or dirt. As I accepted myself, I accepted my story and knew that everything truly happens for a reason, good, bad or otherwise.  The trick is not to get stuck in the past negative end of your story, tell it, share it and maybe you will need a professional to help you process the pain correctly, I know I did.  And that investment in myself was the best thing I have ever done
.
You see, as I processed my story, I processed emotions which I had stuffed for years, this reflected in many health issues and I felt like crap. Once the sludge came out and was gone I was able to see things in a different light, how I saw situations and people became clear, I was free.  At this point I slowly began sharing my story to help other women heal, grow and feel supported, no longer was my story of a martyr or enabler that projected a "poor me" attitude. Now I have an authentic, positive perspective with real solutions to change and feel good! We all have the special light in our soul to be free and live a life of Joy.
Tell your story with pride, heal your wounds and always remember " we all got shit!".

Love & Light
Maria

How The Maria Fontana Transformation Changed My Business

Stop Giving A Crap

Worrying about what other people think is a dead end. Other people's opinions of us do not matter in the reality of life, these misconceptions are learned behaviors which can be unlearned. Consuming our daily life around the approval, thoughts and wishes of others can fill your life and self worth .  Filling your head with only doubt. I have been guilty of giving a crap way too much in my life, because I was taught to worry about what people think, it had become a way of life and seemed like there was no other way. "Oh my, what will the neighbors think....?"  Through years of working on myself using efficient tools and techniques I am finally free, well, ( I occasionally fall off the wagon, but catch myself and get right back on track!)  By changing my thoughts and destructive pattern of not loving myself enough and not listening to my gut (aka-intuition.)  Sometimes stuff looks good on paper but is really challenging when you attempt to apply it to your daily...

I Matter

Yes! I said it, I don't care what you think of me. I don't care what you say about me either, and I will tell you why.  As many of us in our childhood I was conditioned to put other's first. The "people" mattered most of all, later I wondered who the fuck these people really were and what they had to do with my life anyway. What strangers, neighbors, relatives and just about everyone else said or thought had importance, my voice did not, what I felt was always pushed down.  My voice was stifled and my feelings ignored, now this is not a "poor me" story, but a story of growth.  As I healed and did immense work on myself I discovered "I" mattered, my voice mattered and my feelings mattered.  Simple gestures of self love towards myself helped me grow, here are a few I used: Scheduling myself for me time Eliminating toxic people from my circle Saying "NO" Doing only what brings me "Joy" and nothing out of obligation ...
