“When I was using and a drug addict and an alcoholic, I was channeling spirits that I definitely should not have been, mixing with energy that was dangerous and detrimental to me.” – Maria Teresa Pratico
Today’s featured award-winning author is a mom, master shamanic healer, spoken word artist, motivational speaker, and Intuitive Empath, Maria Teresa Pratico. Maria and I had a fun on a bun chat about her books, using art as a transformative outlet, the importance of authenticity, and more!
Key Things You’ll Learn:
How a spiritual message during a family dinner marked the turning point in her life
How poetry can be a powerful healing tool
What Maria does for self-care
Why sharing your stories can foster understanding and belonging
