Maria Failla: Finding Our Alignment "Off the Path"

Maria is a "plant lady by day and a cat lady by night" as she travels with the National Tour
of Cats the Musical and is also the Founder and Host of the very popular Bloom and Grow
Radio Podcast and Youtube Show. As a professional singer she was in the Broadway
Company of Cats the Musical (Broadway Revival) and toured nationally and internationally
with West Side Story, Evita and The Sound of Music. She developed her passion for
houseplant care while in Cats on Broadway. With Bloom and Grow Radio, Maria is a
self-proclaimed "Plant Killer turned Plant Lady" on a mission to help every person
successfully care for houseplants- no matter how small their home is. She believes if you
can learn the empathy and kindness required to care for plants, you'll bring those skills into
the world and make it a kinder and greener place.
Beth Clayton (your host) is a soul-based life and health coach and loves to help open-hearted
people break free from their own self-sabotage, outdated thought patterns, and past pain so
they can deepen their relationship with their own soul’s intuition, speak their truth courageously
and fulfill their most authentic desires. She is the creator of multiple group programs, retreats,
and transformational workshops, leading hundreds of truth-seekers toward finding freedom and
ease in their relationship with food, their bodies, their lives and ultimately, themselves.

In this episode, Beth and Maria:
● Maria’s synchronistic journey from unemployed actor to Broadway debut an unexpected
path toward a booming podcast and the birth of a new dream.
● How Maria’s relationship with her body has transformed throughout her performing
career and how that has impacted the success she has found in many areas of her life.
● The role that manifestation and visualization has played in Maria’s synchronistic journey.
● The importance of alignment before action as we take our next “right” step.
● How Maria is super intentional about staying in a state of “flow” instead of “forcing,” even
as she handles a super busy touring, performing and recording schedule.
● The importance of surrender and letting go of our attachments to the ways things are
supposed to go.
● Why authenticity and vulnerability aren’t always what we think they are.
● Why self-care is so much deeper than baths, wine, and mani-pedis and can often be
difficult and challenging work.
