Welcome to Episode 28 of the "Unreasonable Art of Living" podcast. Today, I have the absolute pleasure of hosting Maria Vesanen, whose journey from a life of conventional success to one of authentic wholeness is both inspiring and enlightening.Maria recounts the days when she was living what society deemed “normal.” Working hard, exceeding expectations, and seeking external validation, Maria appeared “successful.” She was leading a hectic life, managing an international career, overseeing global projects, and traveling for work. Living in the heart of Stockholm, she enjoyed delicious dinners with friends and nice holidays.However, beneath this facade of success, Maria felt exhausted. Her body sent alarm signals, and she felt disconnected from herself. A weak voice at the back of her mind kept asking, “Is this what life is about?”In early 2020, Maria embarked on a journey of self-discovery. She left her job, began freelancing, and set off for Central America, prioritizing her well-being. Over the next three years, she dedicated her life to personal and spiritual growth, exploring meditation, metaphysics, and various healing modalities.Maria's transformation was profound. She began embracing all aspects of herself and expanded her self-awareness, infusing her life with joy and love. This journey led her to redefine her priorities and values, aligning her life with her true self, a state she refers to as authentic wholeness.During our conversation, Maria shared her experiences of establishing a second home in El Salvador and becoming a Health and life Coach, marking a new chapter in her journey. Her mission is to foster authentic wholeness in a world dominated by grind culture.Maria and I discussed the concept of cognitive load and authenticity. Cognitive load refers to the mental effort required to process and retain information. Authenticity, Maria explained, reduces cognitive dissonance, the mental discomfort caused by conflicting beliefs or values, thereby lowering the cognitive load. Being authentic aligns our internal state with external expression, reducing the need for constant emotional regulation and self-monitoring, which can be mentally taxing.Maria's aim as an Authentic Wholeness Coach is to help people walk through life with less exhaustion and more bloom. She believes in prioritizing authentic well-being, honoring individual uniqueness, and promoting a conscious, human-centered world.In this episode, Maria's story reminds us that the world is a reflection of our inner realities. When we shift towards authentic wholeness, the world shifts with us, leading to less exhaustion and more bloom. Join us in this enlightening conversation as we explore the unreasonable art of living authentically.Are you ready to find your authentic way of living? Then get in touch with Maria Vesanen.
