In this episode, I’m joined by multi-passionate entrepreneur, hypnotherapist, and intuitive business mentor Maris Saar for a conversation that feels both expansive and deeply personal. From growing up in Estonia with a relentless drive to learn and achieve, to building a life that blends neuroscience, healing, and entrepreneurship, Maris shares the winding path that led her to helping others reconnect with their true selves. What began as a simple connection in an online group turned into a powerful coaching relationship. A relationship that challenged me, stretched me, and ultimately helped me rediscover joy, trust, and alignment in both my life and my work. Together, we talk about what it really means to peel back the layers, listen to your nervous system, and build a life (and business!) that feels like you.
Among many other topics, we explore:
The Power of Following the Pull: How Maris built multiple careers—from photography to hypnotherapy to TV—by going all in on what lit her up.
From Doing to Being: Why success isn’t about doing more, but about removing what’s blocking you from being yourself.
The “Library of the Brain”: Maris shares a powerful analogy for how our experiences are stored—and how they shape our reactions, patterns, and beliefs.
Healing Without Reliving: A compassionate approach to working through past experiences without retraumatizing yourself.
Nervous System Awareness: How learning to listen to your body can completely change how you make decisions, show up, and live your life.
From Burnout to Freedom: My personal journey of moving from pressure and performance into ease, intuition, and joy.
Intuitive Marketing: Why your business doesn’t have to feel heavy—and how alignment creates more impact than force ever could.
Choosing Joy on Purpose: The small, intentional shifts that can create ripple effects in your life and in the lives of others.
The Courage to Be Seen: How releasing internal blocks allows your voice, your work, and your presence to expand naturally.
Creating Space for What Matters: Why slowing down might be the very thing that opens the door to your next big idea.
Joy isn’t something you wait for. It’s something you choose, moment by moment… starting with something as simple as a smile.
