Let me introduce myself... 💜
Hey, I'm Maria.
And before you start Module 1, I want you to know a little bit about me — and why I created The FOR You Framework.
Here's my story:
I'm the surviving twin.
When my mom was pregnant, doctors told her the pregnancy was lost. But somehow, I survived. Less than a 1% chance at life. I beat those odds before I even took my first breath.
At 2 months old, I survived chickenpox — which should have killed me.
At 16, I survived sexual assault that led to cervical cancer by the time I was 18, then again at 19 and twice at 32.
At 28, as a newly single mom of three, I had emergency surgery that nearly killed me. I woke up in a hospital bed not knowing if I'd ever see my kids again.
And for years, I asked the same question over and over:
"Why is this happening TO me?"
Why me? What did I do to deserve this? Why can't life just be easy for once?
That question kept me stuck. Angry. Powerless. Playing the victim.
Until one day, after lots of working on myself, I asked a different question:
"What if this is happening FOR me?"
Not because I deserved it. Not because "everything happens for a reason."
But because I could CHOOSE what to do with it.
I couldn't control the cancer. I couldn't control the near-death experience. I couldn't control being the twin who lived.
But I could control my response.
That shift — from TO to FOR — saved my life.
It's the reason I'm here today. It's the reason I started my podcast. It's the reason I wrote my book "Against All Odds: The Less Than 1% Chance." And it's the reason I created this course.
Because if I can rebuild from impossible odds — multiple times — so can you.
So who am I?
I'm a mom of three incredible kids. Bonus mom to 3 more incredible kids and a dog mom to 3 pretty amazing dogs.
I'm proudly Boricua 🇵🇷 (Puerto Rican pride, always).
I work a full-time day job in the healthcare industry (yes, you can rebuild AND have a career).
I'm an author, podcast host, and resilience coach.
But mostly? I'm just someone who refuses to let hard things win.
I've been broken. I've been hopeless. I've been at rock bottom wondering if I'd ever feel okay again.
And I've rebuilt. Every. Single. Time.
Not because I'm special. Not because I have some secret superpower.
Because I learned to ask "What FOR?" instead of "Why me?"
And now I'm here to teach you how to do the same.
Over the next 30 days, I'm going to show you the exact framework I used to rebuild myself — the mindset shifts, the daily practices, the real strategies that work when everything feels impossible.
You're not going to do it alone. We're doing this together.
I'm in this community every single day. I read every post. I respond to every question. I show up for you the way I wish someone had shown up for me.
So welcome.
I don't know your story yet. I don't know what brought you here.
But I know this: you survived something. And now you're ready to rebuild.
That takes courage. That takes strength. That takes choosing FOR instead of TO.
I'm proud of you for being here.
Let's do this.
Love Your Life 💜Maria
P.S. — I mean it when I say I'm here for you. Reply to this post, drop a comment, send me a DM, post in #questions — whatever you need. I've got you.
