Ever have everything you thought you wanted shift, only to realize it feels exactly right? Your fave Maura returns to share her messy, beautiful evolution: landing an in-house job, buying her first home (a four-bedroom sanctuary that just felt right), and redefining what fulfillment looks like. She gets real about the sparks she used to chase (hint: they were anxiety, not passion), choosing peace over chaos, and being with someone who isn’t threatened by her success. Maura opens up about endings that made space for what’s meant to be and the difference between wanting more and finally feeling met.
Episode Notes
Welcome back to Women in Progress with Maura Chanz, a show about the women we're becoming and the shared wisdom of those navigating change, growth, and new chapters in life. This week, Maura's flying solo and getting vulnerable about the major shifts happening in her life right now—new job, new house, new love—and why none of it looks like what she planned, but all of it feels exactly right.
From Entrepreneur to Employee (And Why That's Not a Step Back)
After more than a decade of running her own show, Maura made the decision to go in-house. She breaks down why she needed a break from carrying it all, the reality of working in entertainment right now, and how this season is about learning systems she can use to scale again later.
The House That Chose Her + Vision Boards That Work
How living with her grandmother, a gut feeling about family changes, and working with Daedre Financial led to Maura buying a four-bedroom home in just one week. Plus, the power of writing down "save for a house" at a vision boarding session and how manifestation works even when it doesn't look like what you pictured.
From Fireworks to Peace: Dating Someone Who Isn't Threatened
Maura gets honest about ending a long-distance relationship, meeting someone new who's actually interested in sharing the light, and why her therapist's advice about fireworks being short-lived changed everything about how she approaches love.
And if that didn't convince you, here's the quote from Maura Chanz that hit different:
"Progress for me has never been linear. It's looked like solo apartments and shared spaces, like being the boss and starting over, like heartbreak and healing and being brave enough to try again."
