The Call That Changed Everything

Over a year ago, I got the kind of phone call no one ever wants to hear.

The doctor told me I had two brain aneurysms on the right side of my head.

I was numb. Scared. I felt like giving up on everything—my goals, my dreams, even life itself.

But in the middle of my breakdown, I found a spark. I remembered the women like me—the ones who do it all, the ones who show up for everyone but forget to pour into themselves.

From my pain, I created something I now live for:

✨ A brand that reminds women to choose themselves

✨ Luxurious self-care made for busy moms, wives, and women who never stop

✨ A mission to turn my darkest moment into someone else’s glow-up

Maya’s Lip Bar is more than gloss and glow.

It’s my survival. It’s my purpose. It’s a reminder that healing can be beautiful.

💌 To every woman reading this: You deserve to feel good too. You are not just what you give to others.

The title slide announces 'What 2-Minute Planks Before Bed Did to My Body: A 60-DAY EXPERIMENT.' An illustration shows a person planking next to a bed at night, with a window showing the moon and stars.
This slide describes the initial difficulty, stating, 'I couldn't hold a plank for 30 seconds without shaking like a leaf. Embarrassing.' An illustration depicts a person struggling to plank, with sweat and shaking lines around them.
This slide highlights a behavioral change: 'Week 3: I stopped doom-scrolling before sleep. My body wanted the plank instead. Weird.' An illustration shows a person planking on the floor while a phone rests on pillows nearby.
2-Minute Planks Before Bed Changed Everything
Started as a way to tire myself out before sleep. Ended up fixing my posture, killing my back pain, and accidentally cutting my screen time in half because I stopped doom-scrolling at midnight. 60 days of just 2 minutes. That's it. Could you commit to that? #plankchallenge #beforesleep
