32. "I Shouldn't Do It" - Maria Bowbanks Tells Her Story

Hello, and welcome back!

Today I am talking to Maria Bowbanks, founder of Spirit Wellbeing.

Maria is an energy coach, author, survivor, and much more - and she's here today to tell us about her experience with coercive control as a young adult.

We cover the relationship, initial red flags, gut instincts, stalking behaviours, and how Maria's escape to Australia, and the energy work she found there changed her life trajectory for the better.

I hope you enjoy!

During this episode, we mention a few books and resources to check out:

Power Up Positivity - Maria's book

Maria's website and work

Maria's personal growth course offering

I also mentioned an old favorite - Influence: The Psychology of Persuation - Robert Cialdini

And Maria mentioned the book that set her free - The Road Less Travelled - M. Scott Peck
