2- Is That God Talking or Just My Anxiety?
Ever had a moment where you couldn't tell if what you were feeling was a sign from God or just your anxiety playing tricks on you? In this entry, I'm getting real about a week that had me questioning everything. I open up about a business decision I almost made out of fear, the moment I paused and asked myself if I was actually hearing from God or just spiraling, and how my body has been sending me signals I've been too busy to listen to. This one is for the entrepreneurs, the overthinkers, the faith-driven women trying to build something while still figuring themselves out. We talk about: → The difference between divine nudges and anxious thoughts → How doubt shows up when you're building something new (hey, Pretty Nourish) → What your body might be trying to tell you when life feels chaotic → Learning to trust yourself even when the signs aren't clear No expert advice. No perfect answers. Just an honest diary entry from someone who's figuring it out in real time and thinks you might be too. ✦ The Higher Self Diaries is a podcast by Maria, founder of Pretty Nourish.

1- A New Era of Higher Self Diaries
Hi… it’s been a while. After a few months away, I’m finally back and a lot has changed. In this episode, I’m catching you up on where I’ve been, what life has looked like behind the scenes, and why I felt called to step away for a bit. This season of my life has been messy, reflective, and honestly… necessary. I’m also sharing the new direction for Higher Self Diaries. This is no longer just a space for advice it’s a real-time audio journal of my journey becoming my higher self. The highs, the lows, the in-between… all of it. If you’ve ever felt like you needed to pause, reset, or figure things out before showing up again, this episode will feel like a deep exhale. We’re starting fresh but this time, we’re doing it together. Welcome back to Higher Self Diaries.

Faith Over Logic: Your David & Goliath Season
In this Higher Self Diaries episode, I’m bringing you into the season where God told me to stop shrinking my dreams to match my circumstances and start believing at the level of His power. I’m sharing what it looked like to build something from absolute zero: no tech experience, no team, no budget, no roadmap. Just a slingshot, a stone, and the same God who backed David in front of Goliath. This episode is for the woman who feels small, unqualified, intimidated, or unsure of the calling God put on her life. The woman who knows she’s meant for more but keeps talking herself out of it. The woman who’s tired of dreaming “realistically” and is ready to step into her God-sized assignment. If you’ve been praying for clarity, courage, or a confirmation to show up, this is it. Let’s step into obedience before evidence and watch God guide the stone.
