How to Expand Your Capacity to Attract More of What You Want with Maia Benaim
Point Of The Story
Maia’s Work: Mentor, Writer, Expansion Guide
Maia describes her role as a mentor, writer, and energetic coach for visionary women.
Quick question: How many times are you gonna call in the thing, get the thing, and then immediately fuck it up because your nervous system is like "nope, too much, abort mission"?
In this episode, I sit down with Maia Benaim — writer, mentor, expansion queen, and certified neuroscience nerd — to talk about nervous system capacity and why your goals might have hidden agendas.
We're getting into the science of why you see color differently than everyone else (spiral warning), why your reticular activating system is the bouncer of your perception, and how Maia went from hoarding Korean face masks to teaching women how to expand their entire lives.

POINT OF THE STORY
Your nervous system is running the show. When you expand your capacity to hold more — more money, more success, more stability — you stop chasing and start receiving. The version of you that has the thing you want? Start being her right the fuck now!
