Motivational Moments with Maria Maria Bradfield

Every week it is my intent to increase your awareness of personal growth is to help you stay more focused, energetic, disciplined, and inspired, so YOU can experience more excitement, fulfillment, fun and joy in all areas of your life.   
It also helps me stay more energetic, passionateand obsessed about my work. If I can make a difference in one person’s life….I am charged. 
2022 seems to be flying by so quickly.  Half the year is over and some of you are rocking your year and some of us haven’t hit all the targets we set, yes me included.  Some of you may be saying…I’m not ready yet, I’m not good enough, I don’t know enough and it’s hard to start.   
Let’s break this down using some quotes by Zig Zigler.  It doesn’t matter what your goal is.  It could be growing your business, improving your key relationships, getting healthier or building your wealth.   
The first quote.  
1.You don't have to be great but you have to start to be great. 
If we wait until everything is perfect to start, we may never begin.  We may be setting ourselves up for failure.  I’ve watched entrepreneurs wait until they can completely understand the nuances of a targeted market before they​start any marketing. I’ve watched clients gather data and information about leads for hours before picking up the phone and having a conversation with the prospective client.  
Take action, no matter how small,  and the results will follow. 

Listen in for some great quotes and insights to being GREAT. 

Welcome my friends to this week’s episode of Motivational Moments with Maria.  I am your host loving and crazy Coach Maria.  Oh,  my friends, it feels so good to be healthy again.  
It’s always my intent to bring you some inspiration and thoughts on personal development.  I want YOU to create more fun, joy and productivity in all areas of your life 


As I listen to so many of you burning the candle at both ends I want you to STOP for a minute…or two.  Stop and give yourself some grace for all that you do.


This week I want to focus on how to use PLAY to get healthier. 


Yes, I said Play.  So many of you are just too damn serious. Have you ever really listened to my tag line which simply says, stay focused, stay positive, and ALWAYS have fun.  I make it a point to have fun no matter where I am or what I am doing. 


Will life throw wrenches and rocks at us? Of course.  Here is what I know…the more play time you give yourself, the happier you are.


Studies have shown that energizing play helps the body stay strong, lean, and fit.


Listen in on the value of PLAY.

Top of the morning to you my friends.
Welcome my friends to this week’s episode of Motivational Moments with Maria.  I am your Host, Lucky and Crazy Coach Maria. 


How many of you have heard the saying, you have the  “The luck of the Irish.  Do you know how that phrase came about? The origins of the ‘luck of the Irish’ saying can be traced back to the late 1800’s in America during the gold and silver rush. At that time, Irish and Irish Americans were some of the most successful miners to prosper and that is how the saying came to be. 


Let’s dive deeper into that.  Was is really luck or was it, hard work, perseverance and persistence?


Luck my friends is simply preparation meeting opportunity. And these “LUCKY PEOPLE” were willing to work harder and longer than others to achieve their dreams of a better life for their families.


I want you to consider how this conversation plays into your daily life.


Are you lucky, persistent and dogged in order to build a better life for yourself and your family? And can we create our own luck?  Believe it or not, we can influence our “luck” and reach our pot of gold.


Your pot of gold is not necessarily gold coins, jewelry, money or material things as portrayed and written about in so many tales. What does the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow really mean?  It is different for everyone.  For me it is the freedom to work from anywhere, anytime and to empower and serve others to become their best selves, whatever that may be. So, in reality my friends, my pot of gold is all of you! Thank you.


Listen in and as always,


Stay focused, stay positive and have fun. 

Here is your question of the week. 

Have you ever suffered from IMPOSTER SYNDROME? 

Yes? Then you are in the right place as I share some insights on Imposter Syndrome and some tips to overcome that feeling.

 First we need to define what Imposter Syndrome is. According to Webster’s Dictionary, imposter syndrome is Your persistent inability to believe that one's success is deserved or has been legitimately achieved as a result of your own efforts or skills. 

Simply put, imposter syndrome is the experience of feeling like a phony—you feel as though at any moment you are going to be found out as a fraud—like you don't belong where you are, and you only got there through dumb luck. I am sure once or twice in your life you may have given this a thought. Am I real or am I an imposter? 

Don’t fret my friends…..you are not alone. 

Join me for some insights on Imposter Syndrome. 

In today's podcast episode, I want to empower, inspire, and motivate you to prioritize your well-being and discover the remarkable transformation that comes with embracing self-care. Now more than ever, we need to take care of ourselves, our mind, body, and soul. So, let's dive in and learn how to thrive this February.

First, we must understand self-care.
It involves finding ways to meet our physical, emotional, and mental needs in a healthy and positive way. It's essential to recognize that self-care is not a selfish act, and it is not a luxury. When we invest in ourselves, we become better versions of ourselves, and that positively affects those around us, including co-workers, family, friends, and other social circles. So, let’s change the narrative around self-care and embrace it as a crucial aspect of our well-being.

Self-care is not selfish; it’s necessary.

Listen in for some ideas on self-care. 

Stay focused, stay positive, and always have fun.

Today, we are diving deep into a topic that affects our well-being and the well-being of those around us: I call them the devils in our life.  
They are judgment, comparison, and gossip. These three little devils can creep into our lives and wreak havoc on our happiness and our relationships.


But fear not, for we hold the power to rise above these destructive behaviors and create a more compassionate and supportive world. As an experienced transformation coach, I've witnessed the negative impact of judgment, comparison, and gossip firsthand. And let me tell you, it isn't pretty.


In today's episode, we'll explore the effects that judgment, comparison, and gossip have on our own well-being and the well-being of others. We'll uncover how these sneaky devils can chip away at our self-esteem, erode trust, and create a toxic environment. 
But remember, with awareness comes opportunity for change.


To help guide your journey, I'll be sharing some practical tips and techniques to control your own judgments, embrace your unique path, and gracefully deflect gossip when it comes knocking at your door. Remember, it's not about being perfect, but about progress and growth.


Listen in and as always, stay focused, stay positive and have fun.
