In this episode of The Skeptics Welcome Podcast, Mariah sits down with Maria Bowler, a writer, coach, retreat leader, and author of Making Time: A New Vision for Crafting a Life Beyond Productivity.

Together, they explore how to untangle creativity from productivity, how astrology reveals your most aligned rhythms, and what it means to create from a place of self-trust rather than performance.

They also talk about:

•Why your work might feel bad even when it deeply matters

•The power of moon cycles, seasonal flow, and slow business growth

•Releasing the pressure to be understood before you create

•How Maria’s 12th house placements and Libra Midheaven shape her mission

•Parenting as a mirror for misunderstood parts of ourselves

•The spiritual tension between legacy and non-linear expression

This conversation is for any creative who feels stuck in hustle culture and is looking for a new way to move through the world.
