We are ever growing and learning and improving. I had many traumatic experiences growing up and in my young life and it kind of caught up with me in my late 30s and 40s. I'm glad you've had a therapist to help you on your journey and appreciate you sharing with us so much! It takes vulnerability and resilience and strength to do that! You are such a brave, beautiful soul. I've been with you since the beginning and it's been a joy and honor to follow you. ❤❤❤

[@Yvonne_ennovY]

You are just the sweetest! I love your check ins and your authenticity Masha. You and your lovely family are always in my thoughts and prayers for good health, happiness and peace. 😊💕☮️

Not recognizing and feeling our feelings is making us stay on the surface and need outside distractions which give the impression of constant changing..

[@fairybrandmuva]

The most powerful thing about adulthood for me has been realizing that I don't need permission to be whoever I want to be. Sometimes I have to remind myself that I am a human being and I am allowed to change my mind, especially when it comes to my own life. I've also had to stray away from the self-help/spirituality books and advice because I found myself being anxious about becoming a perfect, "healed" version of myself instead of just living and learning as I go. Sometimes you have to step away to hear your own thoughts and feelings. This was a great update from you Maria, I am so happy for you. You're glowing!

[@pockyeatingpanda]

“I don’t need permission” is something I always have to remind myself now that I’m and adult. There’s a lot of unparenting we have to do. I have to constantly remind myself I’m not going to “get in trouble,” and that I’m grown up!

[@erin89f29]

Personal growth, change, acceptance - it's way healthier than choosing something, digging in your heels, and never considering your decision ever again.

[@sasha-stone]

You have gone through some very traumatic events, Maria. From getting beaten up, to being abandoned at the airport, to your first husband. You are so strong, so wise, and such a great person. I am so glad to see you survive. And I do think it's because you are a curious person and you keep trying to make things better for yourself. Much love.

[@osully9383]

Maria really has been through so much in her life. I often think about her hardship and how tough those experiences would have been and still would be hard to overcome. However, Maria has dedicated her life to helping millions of people around the world find peace, calmness and happiness in their own minds through ASMR. Her strength is so inspiring 💕

[@cassijane22]

Kind of a weird thing to share here in the comments. I know she's shared it before but doesn't seem necessary to list out.

All of us should be shifting, changing, and growing constantly. If the drum resonated with you so much look at your ancestral shamanic practice.

Being open to many things is never a negative trait. It just shows how open minded you are and how willing to see both sides or things and try new things!

[@reowyn9183]

Your updates are so special to me. Even though a lot of the time I can't relate exactly to what your going through, it's so wonderful to see a woman working through struggles and constantly grow and change and evolve. It's so inspiring, thank you for your vulnerability

[@Katinsky_Kat]

It's infectious to see you be confident in yourself and what you like and want without letting anything or anyone influence it, just doing what makes you feel happy. It's beautiful

Girl as a Gemini, I am constantly changing! That is what life is for! One of my favorite quotes ever from Walt Whitman: “Do I contradict myself? / Very well then I contradict myself, / (I am large, I contain multitudes.)” We are full of wonder and curiosity and that is beautiful! Love you girl!

[@stephanieweiss471]

I recall Maria is a Gemini rising, I only recall this because so am I and I've been following her since back in the day! I remember thinking, hey no wonder i like her so much! Every phase she goes through I resonate with and I just want to remind her sometimes that the changeling Gemini is part of her path! Her ability to shift and change is what makes her so amazing at her work!♊️🩵 PS: I a professional astrologer so I appreciate this comment haha

I'm loving this so far! Just wanted to say as we talk about your shifts between spirituality, religion, etc... I know you probably took them down for a personal reason, but if by chance you now feel differently about it, I would LOVE to have all the new moon videos accessible again! I never got personally invested in the practices themselves, but the videos were their own ritual for me in a sense. I find them so calming and grounding ☺and have rewatched all of them many times. No matter what you decide, thank you for sharing them at the time and thank you for sharing this version of yourself with us now 💞

[@dragonsignite]

For me it's the witch/crystal spell typing video, was one of my favourites of all time and I hope one day it comes back ❤️

[@caragarner1177]

Watching your journey and evolution into who you are today has been so inspiring. I feel incredibly lucky that you are willing to share your thoughts and emotions with the world, even with some of the negative feedback you've gotten. But like you said, your core has always stayed the same and you have always been true to yourself. We love you for you, and I am just so glad to hear about your recent successes and realizations. Even hearing about your love for sound baths rings true (haha get it), because I remember you saying a while ago that in church the music frequently moved you to tears. I think you've always been in touch with the world on a deeper level, and now you're tuning in more. I am so happy for you and wish you nothing but the best!

[@SoyChaiLatte91]

I’m so happy you stood your ground against those who criticized you about your journey! I for one appreciate you sharing with us how you’re learning and growing. We all feel lost sometimes and it’s not a bad thing to try and figure out what works best for us! If we had all the answers then what’s the point of life. ❤

[@Mimlou]

I’ve been watching you for over 10 years, Maria. And what I love about you is your genuine and authentic personality and energy. Life is like what you explained- Phases. It’s completely OK to go in and out of phase. That is what this earthly life experience is all about. I am the same (especially as an artistic Pisces!😂) I’m just grateful that you allow us to get a glimpse of your thoughts and experiences through these videos as it’s comforting to know that there are other souls that are experiencing the same thing. We are not alone in things that we feel alone in. Just not everyone talks about it like you do.❤✨🙏💪

[@hopefulwanderer4463]

Your joy for life and trying new things is so beautiful and makes me feel close to you, even if we have never met. You are truly an inspirational person, Maria. Please dont let anyone ever tell you otherwise.

[@somewaltz]

My favorite part about growing up with you is watching you be unafraid of changing. I sometimes forget our identities don’t have to be set in stone. Thank you for continuing to be so open! None of us are perfect, but I know a lot of us are afraid to be as vulnerable as you are on the internet.

I have been watching you for 11 years, your videos got me through a miserable pregnancy, calmed my colicky daughter, and put me to sleep in nights when I just could not turn my brain off. You are such an inspiration to women and girls. And please don’t take criticisms of your growth seriously. Changing a position on something is a sign of flexibility and intelligence. Best of luck to you and your family❤

[@candidg0ose]

I don’t think I’ve ever commented on any of your videos before Maria, but I first started watching your videos when I was 17 and I’m now nearly 30. I love that you try new things and give it your all, and it’s been very lovely coming alongside you on this journey. It really feels like i’ve grown up with you. Thank you for the updates on your life, it’s like hearing from an old friend.

[@ladyjessica23]

You do you Maria. You help so many people every day with your ASMR and overall energy. No one has the right to criticize anyone, especially when you are sharing and making yourself vulnerable. Thank you for sharing. I know I appreciate watching your videos, both on this channel and Gentle Whispering.

[@alyssagilliland7274]

Maria, I have just loved watching you change and grow the past 8 years. I actually think the fact that you DO change your mind as you gain information makes you incredibly wise. So many people choose one hill to die on, but you explore through the peaks and valleys. And I respect the hell out of you for that! Keep being true to yourself! Anyone who doubts you or makes fun of you is just envious that they don't have the courage you have to change!

[@DavidWolf84]

WOW! I resonated with realizing that I was abused as a kid until my mid-30s. It explained a lot of strange illnesses and symptoms I was having. The Body Keeps the Score and When the Body Says No really helped me.

[@emorynichols4177]

“Whatever the hell I want” YES!!! Maria anyone who have one single negative thing to say about you is them projecting. It’s about THEM. You are such a light . I’ve said that before and I’ll always believe it. You’re pure GOLD.

[@Lisallamaa]

Its interesting how the media makes it seem like youre only worth anything in your 20s (esp women) because you appear "young" and after 30 you dont matter anymore. But for myself and everyone I know, life just started when we turned thirty. All of it before was like the tutorial level (haha). You finally have the space to meet yourself and understand who you are and what you want and what you need (whether you have the wherwithall to get going is a different story). And yet we want to hold on so desperately to the outward appearance of youthful beauty, when the real, miraculous beauty is the growth that happens inside from the moment you are born, that never stops until you die. ❤

[@Mia73189]

As strange as it may sound, because we are strangers, I think about you all the time, Maria. You introduced me to ASMR years ago and I’ve come to appreciate this community so much. Watching your journey (from afar): meeting and marrying Darryl, moving cross country, having Mila, has been such a joy to watch. Thank you for sharing your journey - the highs and lows - with us. We are all going through something, but it’s easy to forget that. 🩵

So so proud of your personal growth!! It looks different for everyone, as it should, and I'm so inspired by your journey. Thank you for sharing yourself with us 💜

[@Birdladyyy]

I’m proud of you, Maria! So glad I kept tabs on you. I have also been a person of change and flow. Had phases I regret, and phases I outgrew, and ones I might visit again. As long as you are healthy and safe, being your fluid self is beautiful and powerful. I’m proud of you for “lifting the veil” and wading through the shadows. Healing is a spiral, not a mountain 💕There is no higher power than love. And love evolves. Thank you for turning the love you share with us inwards 💕

[@bandanabri]

Hello Maria, thank you for this vlog. You have inspired me to be more honest and vulnerable. I will admit that I was one of those people who felt some hesitation when hearing about your journey deeper into Christianity. I was basing my feelings off of my own experiences, but of course you and I are not the same person and do not live the same life! You have encouraged me that I do not have to stay the same forever, and that it is actually better to embrace change as it comes and learn from each season in life. As much as we like to pretend that we never change, a lot of us change more than we even realize. Only some are brave enough to embrace that.

[@madeinamericababy]

I love what you shared about changing your mind, trying things constantly, always changing and switching and evolving. I’ve found that to be so important in my life, too, and so freeing. To outsiders it seems like wishy-washy behavior but I appreciate you sharing about it because I relate and the wonderfulness of being flexible and changing is not talked about enough, I think

[@Millie.G]

I appreciate you always sharing your journey and I'm sorry people are so rude and mean. I love the way you always try new things, I think it's a very healthy thing to do because most people don't even want to try anything and are stuck in their ways. You always inspire me to try new things. Also, please make a whole video with the singing bowls ☺️, it really relaxed me.

I LOVE that you are into different things because I get to learn so so much from you, Maria. We live on this earth for however many years, it would be so sad to live everyday the same. Sounds like hell to me and those that were unkind to you actually never give themselves permission to try new things either. I was also mad at a family member who asked me several years ago, "When are you going to stop reinventing yourself?" And i got so offended... at that time I didn't really understand why i was mad.. but now i do coz i feel the same way as you! Im going to keep doing new things for as long as i like damnit! That sound bath moment was awesome. I could also tap into some feelings in my body. Thanks for teaching us your wisdom, Maria. ❤

Thank you for sharing these deep introspections, Maria! I have also experienced a lot of distress as I've developed and changed in my 30s. After much reflection, I believe we SHOULD grow, explore and change as people. I am always learning and trying to improve myself. This has lead to dramatic changes in my beliefs, world views and ultimately how I live my life. I refuse to take what is the popular, easy opinion at face value and will continue to find my own truth. I have noticed that others in my life cling to "who they are" or are adamant that "this is just how I am". That may be more comfortable, they won't have to deal with the ramifications of paradigm shifts in their life. But growth and individualism aren't comfortable. The hardest part is finding friends that will stay with you through the shift, without judgment. Sending love and gratitude! Side note - sound and frequency healing is so beautiful and powerful. Spiritual sound bowls, religious hymns in church or yogi "oms", all healing and impactful! Thank you for sharing.

I think I probably need some therapy myself soon. My mom passed away last month from lung cancer, I was there every step of the way with her, appointments, scans, tests, treatment, slept over at the hospital etc. I was her full time care giver and it was extremely traumatic for me to see her decline and how she suffered a hell of a lot in her last few weeks to the point where she was on oxygen 24/7 and had to have chest drains because her lungs kept filling with fluid and in the last few days she didn't even know where she was with her delirium which is common at the end of life, she was the most generous person I have ever known and didn't deserve all that. I'm 38 and still feel a bit young to lose her. I wanted at least another 10 years with her. I still had lots to make her proud of. I think about her every day and kiss her picture. I just hope I meet her again after this life.

[@Angry20Something]

Any type of religion, self help stuff, therapy styles, etc are all up to human interpretation. I think the mindset of "take what helps and makes sense, and leave the rest" can really be empowering. I have a good friend who goes to 12 step meetings for people in recovery from drug addiction. Those programs have not been updated in a very long time, and some of the "wisdom" in them is outdated and not backed up by research. But when you find a meeting with a group of people who click well, the support group aspect can be so helpful in sticking to recovery. Take what is valuable. Leave the rest. We are all just doing our best. And always remember that healing and growing is a bumpy process. There will be improvements and setbacks, and thats ok.

Love you! Thank you for sharing your life. Love your singing bowl session!

I have been listening to you since I was 15 or 16 years old. I am now 27. I have always felt like I relate to you. We are very similar in a lot of ways. We are thinkers, we dive right in, we like things in order but we also go with the flow of life as much as we can. Thankyou for always showing up, I will continue to be here for you. Thankyou for being there for me too xx

March was the worst month of my life. That exit from the horror show life can be sometimes, feels incredible

[@bluerae_]

I feel you,life is just horrendous sometimes. We look back and think "How the hell did I even survived that". But we do survive, and that's what matters. I hope everything gets better for you 🙏

[@SassyMashaVlogs]

Life can be unbearable sometimes indeed. Hang in there, friend! Just know you are not alone and that with time things will shift and you WILL feel content again ♥ Hugs ♥

This was absolutely wonderful start to finish. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Vulnerability with the wrong people is so awful, but connecting it with the right people is so healing all around. 💟

I truly resonate with this ! I had done therapy but found it that like you I would just come up with things but had one good session and I didn't feel as if this therapist was the best fit. I found myself doing journaling , scrapbooking (my own version) , and listening to my body with what its feeling at the moment. I can be doing my scrapbooking and all of a sudden my mind will be like nope its time to put it away and go lay on the bed to truly relax, I will put my supplies away and go lay down. I stop trying to push through that feeling anymore. I will come to my desk with the great intent on playing with makeup or whatever and end up just sitting here listening to some calming music for awhile then go back to my room. I completely respect each person's own journey with whatever you are doing. I was even going through a stage where I was constantly searching for a new job because I felt a certain way at work but now I have come to peace with it , I will admit I had an interview too during that time but while I was waiting for the person to come over to interview me , I felt within myself that this place was not the place I needed to be. I wanted to get up and walk out- which has never happened to me !

You are not alone. This happened to me when I started therapy. I love shorter term therapy for problem solving when needed.

I've followed you for years, Maria, I've seen you change for the better. When you first started ASMR, you were shy, reserved and you didn't seem as happy as you do now. I've enjoyed you sharing this side of you, the "real" you as it were. You're so genuine and your openness is a breath of fresh air that is much needed in this world of "influencers"

[@lindaferencik6791]

Maria, what a wonderful video. Thank you for the wellness update. We all need to experiment in our lives to see what works for us to help us lead a life filled with joy and happiness. You are doing the work to do that for yourself. With all you have done so far that I know of, the singing bowls were just wonderful for me. I closed my eyes and YOU transported me. Transported me!!!!! I was personally sad when you gave away all of your beautiful crystals, but I am thrilled that you got the bowls and are sharing them with us sweetheart. I have said it before and will say it again, thank you for all of your hard work that you do for us to help all of us lead a less stressful and more beautiful life. You are a healer.

[@orntelove]

Omg I always feel like around 35 I woke up and saw the world around me more clearly and saw the effect of the traumas I went through

[@SassyMashaVlogs]

Same! ❤

[@FroggyFrog9000]

Same! 🤣

9:10 удивительно, как твои мысли резонируют с моими. Тоже стала задумываться, как я могу прожить каждый день, чтобы потом не сожалеть в конце жизненного пути. Для меня это стало важным, начать делать сейчас не откладывая, так как никто не знает сколько нам отпущено лет….

[@curlygirly5478]

The singing bowls are beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I’ve been watching your videos for nearly a decade since before my babies were born. You bring me a lot of peace when life hasn’t always been that.

[@andreadunhill8219]

You are truly a wonderful person, and taking care of yourself is so important. There is no shame in getting help if you need it, and doing things that make you happy. Your true fans will always support you, and care about you.

[@evakraemer6352]

23:57 "Whatever you see in me, is in you." BEAUTIFUL ❤❤❤❤❤

[@whisperhazeasmr]

the end of this video with the bowls literally made me cry - i was so impacted by the sound. thank you for sharing your wonderful gift. we love and support whatever phase of life you're in!! literally!

[@j_gum]

Masha! I love these chats. It's like with are IRL besties. Thank you for being so vulnerable and authentic. So I am even more convinced you need your own Sound Healing Bath channel because that felt so good. Proud of you for going to therapy and for forgiving yourself!

[@Jessica7i624]

06:22 - Absolutely! Of course we have to try new things and change things- especially if something does not work for us. It means that we are trying! We are trying to be there for ourselves and only then we are able to be there for others.

[@creativesainthelena1707]

That was truly beautiful Maria 💜 You are a naturally spiritual soul - no doubt 💫 😊 please continue to evolve and to always be you 🌸

[@ginnysvec4809]

I love that you’ve gone through this journey!! I went through something similar last year in a big way. I think a lot of the tactics you are using are great, and I’ve used so many of them over the years. I do want to emphasize how important meds can be tho, like not to knock them! I went on meds for adhd, anxiety, and PMDD this past year, and it has been a life-changing decision for me, in all realms of my life. Just wanted to share that it is okay to go on meds if you need them! :)
