"Hi there. How are you feeling today? In case no one has told you yet, I just wanted to let you know that I think you're pretty awesome, I believe in you, and you are so much stronger than you think. Also, it's okay not to have everything figured out. I'm still figuring things out, too. We'll figure things out together. It'll be an adventure."

Inspired by the conversations we have with our friends around the kitchen table late into the night, Kitchen Table Talks is a space for you to come home to yourself and remember that you're not alone. These pages contain relatable stories, tools you can use on a daily basis to center yourself, and simple reminders that it is okay to be human in a world that sometimes feels like it's moving too fast.

This book is for you. You can take it with you or keep it on your kitchen table and read it when you need a boost. Think of it like a friend that's there even when you have no one to talk to. With Maia's simple words and practical wisdom, Kitchen Table Talks will leave you feeling grounded, supported, and ready to take on whatever challenge life has to offer you next. You've got this.

"Let yourself be held; you are safe here; you are loved."
