I AM AMAZED!!! Last night I thought about how I would to watch a Q&A video from Maria, either on her Gentle Whispering channel or here on Sassy Masha. I am so happy!!!😂Thank you Maria! You are so so appreciated and I adore you.💕I have learned so much from you over the years, I am the oldest of three girls so I see you as a big sister.💕I have been watching for at least 9 years now. I am so grateful to have you and your videos in my life. Thank you for everything you do! I hope you and your family are well!❤️
I am posting this comment again, because I am SO excited about this. Look up Koko Hayashi face yoga. Wrinkles are going away. Face exercises and changing muscle memory basically. Oh. My. God.
Okay yeah, so your comments on burnout and body positivity. So very validating and helpful to hear from you, especially since you are so authentic and warm. Definitely made me tear up a bit a couple times. Also! Your advise on parenting is really good advice for living and growing generally. Thank you, Maria!
The difference between Maria and a lot of other ASMRtists is that you really feel like she’s talking to you like she’s your friend. She’s just so open, honest, genuine, and caring when she speaks.
Yesss she is just so genuine & not afraid to be her honest self- I love that! I really wish we would have crossed paths when she lived in Baltimore since we are the same age and seem to have similar interests/personalities.. I think we would have been fun sassy girlfriends 🤪
Omg sewing!!!! Do it!!! You will fall in love with it girlie!!!! I got into sewing almost three years ago....met a woman locally who has a UA-cam channel sewspire. Andrea chapman she is fantastic!!! And also has an asmr vibe too!!! Oh man get into sewing you won’t regret it! I have a baby lock and a Janome sewing machine as well as three embroidery machines lol...this turned into a monster lol
We are the same age and I love listening to your views on life. I’ve travelled a fair bit and married someone from overseas so I understand so many things you say. Also my sister is overseas and stuck and I havent seen her in 2 years and that feeling and watching you almost tear up I felt that so deep as well! I’m also currently pregnant with our 3rd baby... we were one and done too but here we are 😂 this year is our 10th wedding anniversary and we were so looking forward to celebrating that, instead we will have another newborn.... lol the universe sometimes has other plans for your life!
Maria this was so nice it felt like we were on a mom date❤️ I’m going thru a tough time and this helped me feel like I got a break from that negativity Thank you always
Litte seed farm I been using it since 2018 no bad reaction I highly recommed it the testers with 10 different scents. My favorite is Lavender and Cucumber. Its like a cream and you put a little bit & spread it. Wait till it dries it last all day long. I discovered it after breaking out to so called "all natural" deodorants.
The confidence comment you made needs to be its own timestamp (around 15:00) because it's so important. As a woman who HAS accomplished all of my professional goals (motherhood goals are next🤰), and learned from my failures - I CANNOT STAND being pandered to by certain groups. Yes you should have confidence in yourself no matter what size or age, etc. However having an over-inflated ego will always become your downfall. It's unattractive, but only because it makes you difficult to live with, communicate with and share a life with. Edit - spelling
God Maria, you just are such a breath of fresh air. I love how you let yourself be authentic. I love how you address your audience. It's so obvious to us that you truly are such a good and genuine person. You have inspired me to keep living for quite a long time now. I could never thank you enough.
Hello 🥰 just popping on to say hi and let you know that I set up my UA-cam channel to raise awareness for EDS and other chronic illnesses that I have ! Just uploaded my first video 🥰 if you felt like checking it out and maybe subscribing that would honestly mean the world 🥰🥰🥰xx
Yeah, that's not happening for me. If I die, I die. In fact, I'll let em write it on my tombstone: "Here lies this dude who didn't wanna use natural deodorants and live aluminum free but at least he didn't smell like hot dog water after 3 minutes outdoors"
Deep Life lessons with Maria: “burn out is normal, you’ll burn out on everything, but that doesn’t mean you quit. Burn out is an opportunity for analysis”
I loved this too! I’m the full time caregiver for my 82-year-old mother. About 80% of my day is spent feeling burned out. I’m going to try to look at it as a time for reassessment rather than an omen that I should quit.
Hey Maria, I love your attitude on skincare, because a lot of people like to demonise chemicals in skincare, but everything is a chemical, water is a chemical, preservatives aren't bad and are there so your skincare doesn't go off after you open it once, so you go girl, use retinol, use what you want ❤
@@aleshaperry1693 yees I have eczema and I can tell you just because something is natural and with out parfume does not mean it's not irriating sometimes it's better to have one artificial chemical in there, that is of a certain purity and of a certain amount, than having a natural ingredient that consists of several chemicals that could potentially react with different products you use
@@TheLokoschade exactly, with chemicals from the lab they're controlled and they know what amount is good like salicylic acid, but organic stuff can be unstable and it may be useless after being opened more than once
I completely agree! And chemicals are natural a lot of the time like water as you said. Just because it's a chemical doesn't mean it's man made, and even if it's man made it doesn't mean it's bad.
I only had one child!...I knew what I could handle!...so I was one and done too!...hes 20 now...he loves being an only child!...hes in college and living his best life!...hope you have a great day!!💥💫
Hello, I’m only 21 but I feel like I only want one child but everyone around me keeps telling me “your child will be so lonely.” Did your son ever complain about feeling lonely?
@@olive7821 I’m an only child. I was lonely as a child. But I was very creative and I didn’t really get bored. My mind could really keep me entertained. Only children just need friends and cousins in the younger years.
@@olive7821 i am an only child and never felt lonely. It really does depend on the rest of the family... so I wouldn‘t say an only child is automatically destined to be lonely:) there are so many other factors as well
Was I the only one crying through half of it - take a picture and say things to yourself someone who loves you would say?!😭 Your parents are your blanket?!😭 So much I resonated here with, Maria. Thank you for being a virtual mama for some of us adults, too 😂🥺❤️
my mom used to call me her "sunny delight" because i was the happiest child. when i started college i ended up being diagnosed with several disorders including depression and social anxiety and to this day i haven't had that sunny disposition since i was a kid. i miss my former self more than anything, and it is so hard to reflect on how i have changed even if many of the changes are good or have allowed me to grow. struggling sucks. thanks for this video. i will cry with you as we reflect on our childhood ❤
I have so much anxiety when going to work and trying to make conversation with the only other co worker I have to work with for 7hrs. I struggle immensely trying to make deep connections, but when Maria talked about how some ppl take more time to open up and that’s ok. This made me feel way less awkward about being shy and just more reserved than most. I hope I find those people for me someday🌸
I don't think it's healthy to burn out every month but I prefer the saying "learn to rest not quit." Build self care and rest into your days, weeks and months to help you.
I love that. I always think when I have lots going on it's ok to take it slow if I can get it done in the end. Even for things I enjoy, like gardening! It's strenuous work so I have to pace myself. Have a great day everyone. 🥰
It might not be healthy, but it happens. No matter how much self care, life can come at you and hit you in different ways and you have no control of it.
When you started talking about what your mom would say about you, tears literally filled my eyes. I have no idea why this had me so emotional. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I definitely learned something today.
I definitely know what you mean about the parents and safety. When my mom died, the world suddenly felt unsafe. My #1 protector just doesn't exist on this earth. I have to protect myself. I have my own back. (Edit) I also give myself compliments my mom would say! I try to look at myself with the kindness and love that my mom would.
I can relate, this is exactly how I feel after my mom passed last year and it was so sudden so I felt like I had to learn to have my own back very quickly.
I felt like all protection was lost when my dad died when I was 17, 6 wks before my graduation. Did NOT realize how much he kept the men away from me and my sisters until then..and from people taking advantage of our family once he was gone. But I do remember people overstaying their welcome until he came home. Then everyone was quick to leave. It was his demeanor and seriousness..lol. But yah...😩🥲💖
I love Maria’s common sense. I love she’s learned not to buy in to the mass do’s & don’t’s of motherhood. I love that she’s realised not to try too hard with people who “don’t fit”& embrace those who do. I love that she is learning with such wisdom. It’s beautiful to see. Life isn’t easy, it’s quite a battle, with many pit falls, but if we are in a position where we can try to listen to our hearts, be true to ourselves, try to correct wrong negative thinking patterns, love a lot, learn to forgive, be respectful, compassionate & empathetic to all, search for spirituality & find the truth, then we can achieve a good measure of inner peace & happiness xxx
I love the real talk and just general getting to know you videos like this (: been a subscriber for the longest time and I love your ASMR content but the real stuff like this makes me smile and ...it’s just nice (: thanks Maria lots of love to you all
Hello 🥰 just popping on to say hi and let you know that I set up my UA-cam channel to raise awareness for EDS and other chronic illnesses that I have ! Just uploaded my first video 🥰 if you felt like checking it out and maybe subscribing that would honestly mean the world 🥰🥰🥰xx
I’m an only child! My parents knew very early on that they were “one and done” too. Being an only child has been one of my favorite experiences, and I am so close to my parents because of it.
At 14:20 when Maria says “awe sweetie” you can literally sense her compassion and empathy in a nurturing way. I replayed that section a couple times. This was so nurturing for some of us
This is the best!! Also, I have an 11 month old...and girl...that newborn phase is no JOKE. Also, I put a little bassinet by our bed, but my baby hated that, and/or would wake up every 45 minutes forever, and I would also just wake up to check to see if he was okay if he *didn't * do that, and I only made it maybe 6 WEEKS doing that before bringing him in to bed with me (and kicking my husband out, unfortunately) I had to nurse him to sleep, and then he would stay asleep or wake up and latch if he needed to, and we 3 were able to actually sleep. The lack of sleep was truly killing me. Bringing that little newborn into bed was terrifying, but also necessary...not to mention natural, and there is plenty of literature about how to safely bed-share. I have read, and believe that the whole idea of separate sleeping and sleep training was developed by men in the 70s and truly the whole ideology isn't worth the paper these ideas are written on. But you are so right, when you follow your heart about what your baby/family needs, you will be right every time. Thanks for the authenticity Maria (also, retinol and retinoids 4eva!!! hahaha!)
Hi Maria!❤Love hearing about what's new with you. I cant believe people still ask you about having more kids. Its really a personal question and whether you want more or not it shouldn't be anyone's business and its shouldn't be asked. Its all about what is best for you and your family. You're such a sweet and amazing person! Greetings from Boston!
Stopping at one child was the best decision my husband & I made. Our family of 3 is complete, & we're closer with our teenager than most parents with multiples. If your family grows, that's fantastic. But a triangle family is fulfilling and fabulous too.😊
Thank you for helping to normalize being one and done. We were initially one and done, then decided we did want one more, but ultimately it couldn’t happen. It’s been so hard seeing so many people saying how much only children miss out on and it makes me feel so much better when I see other families making that choice (obviously if you change your mind that’s ok too!) and being comfortable with it. Love you all!
I totally felt your skincare response! It must work! I adore (and appreciate) the products that are natural AND that work, however I feel like people hear the word "natural" and automatically think "better." GRASS is natural, and yet not everyone can touch due to having negative reactions to it...Just because something is natural, does not always make it healthier. And often times, products created by trained chemists were made to reverse the negative elements of "nature." But to each their own, and I just hope that people use whatever works for them, whether that's natural products or one with chemical properties! If you're anything like me, it's a collection of both. Maria, you've got me ranting now, but I love it! You're the best!
100% there with you about not listening to all the 'professional' advice. Not everything will work for you and forcing yourself to go against your gut is just an awful time. I went through all that with co-sleeping and then I said fuck it. I'm doing what's best for us ❤️
Right?! Why tf do people hate co-sleeping so much? It was the best. Did it for a year and still do it occasionally with my 2 year old and will as long as we want because he's MY baby and we both love it!
Ahh, your last response was so refreshing. As a new mom you really do have a lot thrown at you and it’s so easy to compare and feel like you’re not doing things the “right way” You’re such a gem and these videos are so relaxing and wholesome. Thank you 🙏🏻
Right. I just found out I'm pregnant. And I always said I didn't want any children. But if I did have a child, I would only want one. There is so much pressure put not just on pregnant women or mothers, but just women in general. And alot of it does come from other women too. Sometimes it's like damned if you do, damned if you don't. But as long as you're happy and your child is happy, I don't think it matters what anyone thinks. I want to remember this if I ever feel anxious about societal pressures and norms. Sorry this rant is so long lol.
Your comment about natural Vs Unnatural skincare was so refreshing! There's nothing wrong with any of what you said! I totally agree and if it works for you and isn't harming anyone or anything then what's the problem!!💚
When you started talking about body positivity and rocking in the chair I felt so so at peace and like total body zen. Oh Maria, you have such a talent. 💕
I was raised an only child, and it was a wonderful childhood. I had so much attention from my parents even though they both worked, and it meant that I developed lots of wonderful and long-lasting friendships (I have many from age 4, I am now 17!) I feel you learn to be more independent, but also more creative. You become resourceful, and I feel often, better behaved because you’re not constantly arguing or fighting, and you learn to be more sensible more quickly. But at the end of the day, all kids are kids, whether they have ten siblings or none. Having loving parents is the best family they can be given. 💛
I’m an only! I don’t feel like I missed out on anything at all- my parents and I were a lil unit! And also I think it made me more mature, as they engaged with me like I was an adult. Served me well! Cheers, Maria!
Mom of an only. We got a LOT of pressure and guilt-trips. I came into the comments to thank Maria for making me feel supported by being so matter-of-fact and comfortable about the topic. Then I found your comment. 💕 🥰 I’m so glad you posted it. Thank you.
I feel like people who ask you or anyone else about wanting more kids is a personal question. I feel like it’s not my place to ask since it’s none of my business. I’m 21 and a university student so It’s YOUR JOB to decide what you want and when you want it. Just go at your own pace. Maria, you are doing just that. Be well and stay positive! PS: I love your videos and hearing you talk about the “adulting” aspect of life 😂
Maria, I am a mother of one child by choice, and our reasoning is so similar! It seems to be so taboo with this choice, and I resonate so much with you, so thank you for sharing.
1. Who thumbs down a video like this? What kind of moronic troll are you??? 2. Men suffer from body positivity as well and I LOVE you answer so much. It's so true how accomplished and better about myself I feel after some exercise.
Only «child» here! A lot of perks to it. Just important to have close friends and family. I wish I got taught more how to be independent and also how to solve conflict and anger with others? Had no siblings to fight with so I am truly helpless when people confront me. Fun to be spoiled and to have my own space!
Would love to see you recreating some of your old lofi videos like a lofi series just using the camera microphone and camera touching. Would be so good! I often go back to watch your old videos as they feel comforting and less ‘produced’ xx
Hello 🥰 just popping on to say hi and let you know that I set up my UA-cam channel to raise awareness for EDS and other chronic illnesses that I have ! Just uploaded my first video 🥰 if you felt like checking it out and maybe subscribing that would honestly mean the world 🥰🥰🥰xx
As a westerner, I was super surprised when I traveled to Japan and saw how common co-sleeping is for parents. I suspect there could be a space rationale for a lot of people, but it's completely normal, and the kids there, by and large, seem to have turned out alright.
Co sleeping was the best decision we have ever made with our little girl, your so right if it doesn't work for your family don't force it. Such important messages Maria 🌸🌼🌻🌸🌼
I want mom friends. I don’t have many and the ones I do are mostly because my husband is friends with their husband. I had 2 that I was seeing often and they both just stopped talking to me and 1 canceled our play dates the last couple times... so of course I feel like its something I did.
It’s okay let me tell you once your kiddo goes to school my friend had her kids in a nice private school but she made the best mom friends volunteering and stuff when kids go to k-5th is when you will meet the most moms or even try activities and also music and mommy and me classes 😊😊😊
Yay! I’ve missed your chats. 🌻 Edit: I love hearing you talk about home. My parents are immigrants as well and they always miss home. Would you ever consider moving back to Russia with your family? I hope that’s not too personal. No need to answer if it is! Sending you all the love. 💛

I dont understand people's obsession with wanting others to have more children. Those people that are pressuring you to have children aren't gonna be there to deal with the hardship and trouble. YOU ARE! They will be standing on the sidelines watching you suffer. Will they be there to breastfeed the child? NO. Will they be there when the child gets sick and you have to miss work? NO. Will they be there when the child goes missing and you worry to death? NO. How about when the child grows up and deals with bullying, depression, suicidal thoughts, body image issues or alcohol and drug issues? NO. THEY will be nowhere. Stop pressuring people to have babies. This has got to stop. Good job on not giving in to societal pressure and choosing your own path and destiny. ❤

deodorant: I had the same problem try baking soda and body oil (such as almond oil). That's it this works you can add an essential oil if you ant. But this works and it is inexpensive. Have a great day. :)
My favorite DIY natural deodorant that I wear Mon thru Thu or whenever I’m home all day is this simple recipe that I keep in a small jar: 1 T. Baking soda + 1 T. Corn starch + 6 drops of doTerra peppermint essential oil. When I have a special event to attend and need 1000% protection, I use SECRET “Paris” antiperspirant/deodorant.
I love what you said about your personal body positivity thoughts at this time. I also just learned about the idea of "body neutrality" instead, and I'm appreciating that frame of mind, too!
Having one child is as good as having two, three or even more. I have one child and it was a great decision for me because I knew I want to give all my attention to a child and having more would frustrate that and be too much for me to handle. My son has always been a very happy child, our connection is very deep and has always been great. He's an adult now who knows very, very good what's right for him or what's not. I have sometimes been told being "egoistic" to have only one child. But in my view évery wish to have a child is egoistic; it's after all always yóur own wish, there is never a child ásking te come into this world. So knowing what feels right for you and your family is key and very important; it's the only way to be as good a parent as you can be!
- TITLE: "More kids?" - THUMBNAIL: (Maria chugging a glass of wine) 😂 The thumbnai here is EVERYTHING. Thanks for this Q&A relaxed chat. Love listening to these!
Mom of one by choice. Thank you for talking about that option in such a matter-of-fact and positive way. There is so much guilting and pressure we get to have more kids and how you answered that question (whether you end up having 1 or 10 kids) was really cathartic to hear. ❤️❤️ healed some hurts. TY
Why are assholes asking you if you’re having more kids. My god. That is so upsetting for Mothers- especially those thay are trying and/or cant. Not to mention miscarriage is really common. One and done is amazing and is beginning to be the new norm because being a parent is HARD. One child is fulfilling and loving!
Good for you saying one and done. So many people feel they have to have at least 2 kids and are made to feel uncomfortable having an only child as the child will be 'lonely' etc. I have so many friends now in the one and done club (through choice) and their children are just fine and have friends and are in no way lonely. Only children get the absolute best from their parents and with overpopulation its definitely something that alot of people are taking onboard now 💗
Thank you for your honesty! It's so refreshing. I have been a subscriber of your asmr channel since 2015 when I was struggling with fertility issues. I found your asmr channel and asmr at the same time and it really helped my stress levels... and more importantly my insomnia! I then found this channel and suddenly I had something to help me mentally too. We're almost the exact same age and so are our daughters. I really feel a connection with the things you say and do and you've helped keep my sanity at times! I too am one and done... as my husband and I feel fulfilled right now. Its comforting to hear some one else feels this way too. Please keep being you! Sending love and best wishes from the UK.
Reminds me of my sister. Totally afraid to put her daughter in bed with her because you're told not to. She was running on fumes for WEEKS because her baby was up all night crying to be close to mom and dad. Then one weekend I came over, plucked the baby from her crib (after an hour of crying), went to my bed, laid her on my chest, and we both slept soundly through the night. My sister's eyes were opened. Like Maria said: Do what's best for you and your baby. My sister really wanted to keep her baby in bed with her, but didn't because she thought it was bad. I knew that I don't roll around in my sleep (I'm most comfortable on my back) and am a light sleeper. I knew I could keep my niece safe. After my sister realized it was possible, that's what she did. Now my niece is 2 and is great at sleeping on her own!
Oh gosh how I needed this little talk session from you! I wish we lived closer because I feel like we could get along so well. But I'm not sure if I'd water down my wine haha
I love when I can find people who can cut through all of the bullshit and be real right off the bat. I like to have those conversations who can hold up their end. Also, I think one of the things that people really enjoy about your videos is the eye contact you have with the camera, and breaking that 4th wall so that you invite people in to have a conversation with you, even if we are thousands of miles away. It is effective and something that a lot of people miss when they are doing videos.
Maria I only have one daughter also and I get asked all the time when will I have another for her to have a play mate and I’m just very content wit only havin one also
Hi, Maria and happy Friday!😊😊😊😊. I watched your ASMR videos and it was so brilliant!💙💙💙💙💙💙👍. The Marilyn Monroe outfit was fantastic with pearls, sunglasses and a scarf!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍. And I love it so much. Have a great weekend and keep up the good work!😊😙💙💙💙💙💙💜💜💜💜💜💜😊👍
I’m an only child as well and I LOVE it. I remember my parents asking me if I wanted any sisters or brothers when I was little and me firmly saying “No!” even back then😂 so they ended up having only me and I ended up receiving all their love and attentions 😍
Maria, I’m sitting here with my glass of wine while dinner is cooking and my husband has the toddler outside. This week has been such a difficult one with said toddler. I KNOW that you know what I mean. So I’m so grateful you decided to upload this. You’re someone I wish I could hang out with in real life for real!
18:12 aww imagine if you did an asmr video saying stuff like that for some personal attention... since most people already feel your motherly vibe it'd be cute 🤧 (plus a lot of people's moms have never said anything like that to them :( 💔) id love the positive vibes of that ahhh
Wow 35 your young, im 42 I gave birth to 7 boys in my early 20s I think my youth is what saved me back then I haven't the energy of that younger woman that endured so much energy Time flies however 💕💯💕💯💕💕
Ive done both and I have to say Bottles are more of a pain IMO. All that washing sterilizing, drying, measuring, boiling, waiting vs Boob out, baby on.
I've done both and bottles are so much more work. Sterilize, the cost of formula, the inconvenience of having to carry stuff everywhere. With breastfeeding you whip out the boob and there it is and then the baby is satisfied. Plus the child has so much more of a connection with you when you breastfeed. You do what's right for you but consider all parts , especially that of the baby, before you make your choice.
@@loveamerica5725 Woah, hold up, are you saying that children have a better connection with their mom when they're breastfed? that's mom-shaming, not everybody can breastfeed to begin with. And I'm sorry, but as much as you love a child, the mom and her feelings matter just as much as the child's- an unhappy mom is just as dangerous as a mom that doesn't care.

I AM AMAZED!!! Last night I thought about how I would to watch a Q&A video from Maria, either on her Gentle Whispering channel or here on Sassy Masha. I am so happy!!!😂Thank you Maria! You are so so appreciated and I adore you.💕I have learned so much from you over the years, I am the oldest of three girls so I see you as a big sister.💕I have been watching for at least 9 years now. I am so grateful to have you and your videos in my life. Thank you for everything you do! I hope you and your family are well!❤️
Absolutely love you Maria. You are a beautiful soul💕
I am posting this comment again, because I am SO excited about this. Look up Koko Hayashi face yoga. Wrinkles are going away. Face exercises and changing muscle memory basically. Oh. My. God.
Not selling anything I just know you are also into anti aging etc and my life is literally changed forever 😭😭😭😭
Okay yeah, so your comments on burnout and body positivity. So very validating and helpful to hear from you, especially since you are so authentic and warm. Definitely made me tear up a bit a couple times. Also! Your advise on parenting is really good advice for living and growing generally. Thank you, Maria!
The difference between Maria and a lot of other ASMRtists is that you really feel like she’s talking to you like she’s your friend. She’s just so open, honest, genuine, and caring when she speaks.
Exactly that
Absolutely!
Yesss she is just so genuine & not afraid to be her honest self- I love that! I really wish we would have crossed paths when she lived in Baltimore since we are the same age and seem to have similar interests/personalities.. I think we would have been fun sassy girlfriends 🤪
Right? She’s truly down to earth person 🥰
So Right
Please do more of these Q&A videos, Maria! They are soo interesting and cool to watch 😊 but all of your videos are just the best 😍
only masha can reframe burnout into something impactful and effective 🥰 so appreciative of you, always!
Omg sewing!!!! Do it!!! You will fall in love with it girlie!!!! I got into sewing almost three years ago....met a woman locally who has a UA-cam channel sewspire. Andrea chapman she is fantastic!!! And also has an asmr vibe too!!! Oh man get into sewing you won’t regret it! I have a baby lock and a Janome sewing machine as well as three embroidery machines lol...this turned into a monster lol
I love the videos, part one and two. I wish I could be your friend, I like the vibes you have and the honesty to talk about life.
We are the same age and I love listening to your views on life. I’ve travelled a fair bit and married someone from overseas so I understand so many things you say. Also my sister is overseas and stuck and I havent seen her in 2 years and that feeling and watching you almost tear up I felt that so deep as well!
I’m also currently pregnant with our 3rd baby... we were one and done too but here we are 😂 this year is our 10th wedding anniversary and we were so looking forward to celebrating that, instead we will have another newborn.... lol the universe sometimes has other plans for your life!
Maria this was so nice it felt like we were on a mom date❤️ I’m going thru a tough time and this helped me feel like I got a break from that negativity Thank you always
Litte seed farm I been using it since 2018 no bad reaction I highly recommed it the testers with 10 different scents. My favorite is Lavender and Cucumber. Its like a cream and you put a little bit & spread it. Wait till it dries it last all day long. I discovered it after breaking out to so called "all natural" deodorants.
Everyday Maria looks like an everyday beauty, wise beauty.....🎇👍💕
The confidence comment you made needs to be its own timestamp (around 15:00) because it's so important.
As a woman who HAS accomplished all of my professional goals (motherhood goals are next🤰), and learned from my failures - I CANNOT STAND being pandered to by certain groups. Yes you should have confidence in yourself no matter what size or age, etc. However having an over-inflated ego will always become your downfall. It's unattractive, but only because it makes you difficult to live with, communicate with and share a life with.
Edit - spelling
God Maria, you just are such a breath of fresh air. I love how you let yourself be authentic. I love how you address your audience. It's so obvious to us that you truly are such a good and genuine person. You have inspired me to keep living for quite a long time now. I could never thank you enough.
Hello 🥰 just popping on to say hi and let you know that I set up my UA-cam channel to raise awareness for EDS and other chronic illnesses that I have ! Just uploaded my first video 🥰 if you felt like checking it out and maybe subscribing that would honestly mean the world 🥰🥰🥰xx
“I miss my childhood *wine pours*” felt that 🥲
So glad I'm not alone on the natural deodorant. I tried so hard to love the plastic free options but I need science in my armpits.
Yeah, that's not happening for me.
If I die, I die. In fact, I'll let em write it on my tombstone:
"Here lies this dude who didn't wanna use natural deodorants and live aluminum free but at least he didn't smell like hot dog water after 3 minutes outdoors"
“Science in my armpits” is a great phrase! 😁
Deep Life lessons with Maria: “burn out is normal, you’ll burn out on everything, but that doesn’t mean you quit. Burn out is an opportunity for analysis”
I love her answer! Made me realize that I’m not the only one who burnout, and even better made me realize that we don’t quit because of that!
That is literally one of the most reassuring things I have ever heard.
I loved this too! I’m the full time caregiver for my 82-year-old mother. About 80% of my day is spent feeling burned out. I’m going to try to look at it as a time for reassessment rather than an omen that I should quit.
Hey Maria, I love your attitude on skincare, because a lot of people like to demonise chemicals in skincare, but everything is a chemical, water is a chemical, preservatives aren't bad and are there so your skincare doesn't go off after you open it once, so you go girl, use retinol, use what you want ❤
Thank you! Just because something is "natural" doesn't make it inherently better!
@@Chelsbells0717 exactly, plus essential oils are natural but guaranteed if you put them on your face just pure essential oils you'll burn
@@aleshaperry1693 yees I have eczema and I can tell you just because something is natural and with out parfume does not mean it's not irriating
sometimes it's better to have one artificial chemical in there, that is of a certain purity and of a certain amount, than having a natural ingredient that consists of several chemicals that could potentially react with different products you use
@@TheLokoschade exactly, with chemicals from the lab they're controlled and they know what amount is good like salicylic acid, but organic stuff can be unstable and it may be useless after being opened more than once
I completely agree! And chemicals are natural a lot of the time like water as you said. Just because it's a chemical doesn't mean it's man made, and even if it's man made it doesn't mean it's bad.
Maria is so motherly and comforting no matter what she does and it’s so calming ☺️
I only had one child!...I knew what I could handle!...so I was one and done too!...hes 20 now...he loves being an only child!...hes in college and living his best life!...hope you have a great day!!💥💫
Hello, I’m only 21 but I feel like I only want one child but everyone around me keeps telling me “your child will be so lonely.” Did your son ever complain about feeling lonely?
Me too
@@olive7821 I’m an only child. I was lonely as a child. But I was very creative and I didn’t really get bored. My mind could really keep me entertained. Only children just need friends and cousins in the younger years.
I feel the same way... I’m an only child, it’s lonely.
@@olive7821 i am an only child and never felt lonely. It really does depend on the rest of the family... so I wouldn‘t say an only child is automatically destined to be lonely:) there are so many other factors as well
Burnouts are an opportunity for analysis...I LOVED this!!
I think you should be a therapist because your healing my soul with your inspirational words
Was I the only one crying through half of it - take a picture and say things to yourself someone who loves you would say?!😭 Your parents are your blanket?!😭 So much I resonated here with, Maria. Thank you for being a virtual mama for some of us adults, too 😂🥺❤️
Yay! I'm having a glass of wine too, perfect!
cheers :)
my mom used to call me her "sunny delight" because i was the happiest child. when i started college i ended up being diagnosed with several disorders including depression and social anxiety and to this day i haven't had that sunny disposition since i was a kid. i miss my former self more than anything, and it is so hard to reflect on how i have changed even if many of the changes are good or have allowed me to grow. struggling sucks. thanks for this video. i will cry with you as we reflect on our childhood ❤
Aww 🥺 sweetie I'm sure you still your ☀️ I feel like u.
her vibes are immaculate
I have so much anxiety when going to work and trying to make conversation with the only other co worker I have to work with for 7hrs. I struggle immensely trying to make deep connections, but when Maria talked about how some ppl take more time to open up and that’s ok. This made me feel way less awkward about being shy and just more reserved than most. I hope I find those people for me someday🌸
I don't think it's healthy to burn out every month but I prefer the saying "learn to rest not quit." Build self care and rest into your days, weeks and months to help you.
I agree :/
That is a great saying. Will definitely incorporate
I love that. I always think when I have lots going on it's ok to take it slow if I can get it done in the end. Even for things I enjoy, like gardening! It's strenuous work so I have to pace myself.
Have a great day everyone. 🥰
It might not be healthy, but it happens. No matter how much self care, life can come at you and hit you in different ways and you have no control of it.
@@melodywashington96 Oh definitely but if you're burning out every month there's a serious issue.
I L O V E the way you think and express yourself! Who else wants to be friends with Maria? 🙋🏻♀️
When you started talking about what your mom would say about you, tears literally filled my eyes. I have no idea why this had me so emotional. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I definitely learned something today.
Aww me too. It made me think of my Mom and appreciate how she is sweet like that too.
I immediately cried at that part. 🥺
That was so sweet and it is so interesting how she looks at others like children. So endearing!
I definitely know what you mean about the parents and safety. When my mom died, the world suddenly felt unsafe. My #1 protector just doesn't exist on this earth. I have to protect myself. I have my own back.
(Edit) I also give myself compliments my mom would say! I try to look at myself with the kindness and love that my mom would.
I can relate, this is exactly how I feel after my mom passed last year and it was so sudden so I felt like I had to learn to have my own back very quickly.
I felt like all protection was lost when my dad died when I was 17, 6 wks before my graduation. Did NOT realize how much he kept the men away from me and my sisters until then..and from people taking advantage of our family once he was gone. But I do remember people overstaying their welcome until he came home. Then everyone was quick to leave. It was his demeanor and seriousness..lol. But yah...😩🥲💖
You should do a podcast! I love your take on things especially motherhood♡
I would SO listen to her podcast !!
Was just about to comment this, I would love a Sassy Masha podcast!
That's a great idea! I would totally listen!!
I miss you very much too! 🥺
Love you ❤
I love Maria’s common sense. I love she’s learned not to buy in to the mass do’s & don’t’s of motherhood. I love that she’s realised not to try too hard with people who “don’t fit”& embrace those who do. I love that she is learning with such wisdom. It’s beautiful to see. Life isn’t easy, it’s quite a battle, with many pit falls, but if we are in a position where we can try to listen to our hearts, be true to ourselves, try to correct wrong negative thinking patterns, love a lot, learn to forgive, be respectful, compassionate & empathetic to all, search for spirituality & find the truth, then we can achieve a good measure of inner peace & happiness xxx
I love love love this comment
I love the real talk and just general getting to know you videos like this (: been a subscriber for the longest time and I love your ASMR content but the real stuff like this makes me smile and ...it’s just nice (: thanks Maria lots of love to you all

Hey fellow zebra. will check out your channel. i am an eds zebra myself (I have eds type 3) 😇
@@chantellelandon85 yay lovely to meet you fellow zebra 🥰
I’m an only child! My parents knew very early on that they were “one and done” too. Being an only child has been one of my favorite experiences, and I am so close to my parents because of it.
At 14:20 when Maria says “awe sweetie” you can literally sense her compassion and empathy in a nurturing way. I replayed that section a couple times. This was so nurturing for some of us
literally why did i cry when she said that 🥺🥺
Then she started rocking and I knew I found the mom I never had.
Definitely! She's very genuine and thoughtful and that comes through in all her responses:)
your voice is so soothing even when it’s not intentionally ASMR!!
I was just thinking about that
This is the best!! Also, I have an 11 month old...and girl...that newborn phase is no JOKE. Also, I put a little bassinet by our bed, but my baby hated that, and/or would wake up every 45 minutes forever, and I would also just wake up to check to see if he was okay if he *didn't * do that, and I only made it maybe 6 WEEKS doing that before bringing him in to bed with me (and kicking my husband out, unfortunately) I had to nurse him to sleep, and then he would stay asleep or wake up and latch if he needed to, and we 3 were able to actually sleep. The lack of sleep was truly killing me. Bringing that little newborn into bed was terrifying, but also necessary...not to mention natural, and there is plenty of literature about how to safely bed-share. I have read, and believe that the whole idea of separate sleeping and sleep training was developed by men in the 70s and truly the whole ideology isn't worth the paper these ideas are written on. But you are so right, when you follow your heart about what your baby/family needs, you will be right every time. Thanks for the authenticity Maria (also, retinol and retinoids 4eva!!! hahaha!)
Maria mouthing “what the f*** made my day ahhahaha
what’s the time stamp? my 1/20 vision is failing me
Watched this while journaling and having a frozen burrito 😅 so calming and great advice for me to hear as a 21 year old!
this video is relaxing! Thank You Maria:)
Hi Maria!❤Love hearing about what's new with you. I cant believe people still ask you about having more kids. Its really a personal question and whether you want more or not it shouldn't be anyone's business and its shouldn't be asked. Its all about what is best for you and your family. You're such a sweet and amazing person! Greetings from Boston!
Stopping at one child was the best decision my husband & I made. Our family of 3 is complete, & we're closer with our teenager than most parents with multiples. If your family grows, that's fantastic. But a triangle family is fulfilling and fabulous too.😊
Thank you for helping to normalize being one and done. We were initially one and done, then decided we did want one more, but ultimately it couldn’t happen. It’s been so hard seeing so many people saying how much only children miss out on and it makes me feel so much better when I see other families making that choice (obviously if you change your mind that’s ok too!) and being comfortable with it. Love you all!
Omg girl, natural deodorant does NOT work for me either lol! I've tried, but I'll just stick to what works.
I totally felt your skincare response! It must work! I adore (and appreciate) the products that are natural AND that work, however I feel like people hear the word "natural" and automatically think "better." GRASS is natural, and yet not everyone can touch due to having negative reactions to it...Just because something is natural, does not always make it healthier. And often times, products created by trained chemists were made to reverse the negative elements of "nature." But to each their own, and I just hope that people use whatever works for them, whether that's natural products or one with chemical properties! If you're anything like me, it's a collection of both. Maria, you've got me ranting now, but I love it! You're the best!
100% there with you about not listening to all the 'professional' advice. Not everything will work for you and forcing yourself to go against your gut is just an awful time. I went through all that with co-sleeping and then I said fuck it. I'm doing what's best for us ❤️
Right?! Why tf do people hate co-sleeping so much? It was the best. Did it for a year and still do it occasionally with my 2 year old and will as long as we want because he's MY baby and we both love it!
"I do my best to drink a couple times a week" 🤣 love it! 🍷
Ahh, your last response was so refreshing. As a new mom you really do have a lot thrown at you and it’s so easy to compare and feel like you’re not doing things the “right way”
You’re such a gem and these videos are so relaxing and wholesome. Thank you 🙏🏻
Right. I just found out I'm pregnant. And I always said I didn't want any children. But if I did have a child, I would only want one. There is so much pressure put not just on pregnant women or mothers, but just women in general. And alot of it does come from other women too. Sometimes it's like damned if you do, damned if you don't. But as long as you're happy and your child is happy, I don't think it matters what anyone thinks. I want to remember this if I ever feel anxious about societal pressures and norms. Sorry this rant is so long lol.
Open and honest, what a special "friend" you are to us your asmr community
Your comment about natural Vs Unnatural skincare was so refreshing! There's nothing wrong with any of what you said! I totally agree and if it works for you and isn't harming anyone or anything then what's the problem!!💚
you are so relatable and street smart and genuine. love it.
When you started talking about body positivity and rocking in the chair I felt so so at peace and like total body zen. Oh Maria, you have such a talent. 💕
🤗💕💕💕
I was raised an only child, and it was a wonderful childhood. I had so much attention from my parents even though they both worked, and it meant that I developed lots of wonderful and long-lasting friendships (I have many from age 4, I am now 17!) I feel you learn to be more independent, but also more creative. You become resourceful, and I feel often, better behaved because you’re not constantly arguing or fighting, and you learn to be more sensible more quickly. But at the end of the day, all kids are kids, whether they have ten siblings or none. Having loving parents is the best family they can be given. 💛
I don't think I can love Maria any more....and then I watch this second channel 😭😭😍😍😍😍
Great title, made me click immediately 😂💕
I’m an only! I don’t feel like I missed out on anything at all- my parents and I were a lil unit! And also I think it made me more mature, as they engaged with me like I was an adult. Served me well! Cheers, Maria!
Mom of an only. We got a LOT of pressure and guilt-trips. I came into the comments to thank Maria for making me feel supported by being so matter-of-fact and comfortable about the topic. Then I found your comment. 💕 🥰 I’m so glad you posted it. Thank you.
@@malibuasmr4205 Happy to help!
I feel like people who ask you or anyone else about wanting more kids is a personal question. I feel like it’s not my place to ask since it’s none of my business. I’m 21 and a university student so It’s YOUR JOB to decide what you want and when you want it. Just go at your own pace. Maria, you are doing just that. Be well and stay positive! PS: I love your videos and hearing you talk about the “adulting” aspect of life 😂
Ever consider a breast reduction? It changed my life:)
Maria, I am a mother of one child by choice, and our reasoning is so similar! It seems to be so taboo with this choice, and I resonate so much with you, so thank you for sharing.
Thanks for sharing!!
1. Who thumbs down a video like this? What kind of moronic troll are you???
2. Men suffer from body positivity as well and I LOVE you answer so much. It's so true how accomplished and better about myself I feel after some exercise.
I just disliked it , what you going to do about it big man on you tube ?
Only «child» here! A lot of perks to it. Just important to have close friends and family. I wish I got taught more how to be independent and also how to solve conflict and anger with others? Had no siblings to fight with so I am truly helpless when people confront me. Fun to be spoiled and to have my own space!
Would love to see you recreating some of your old lofi videos like a lofi series just using the camera microphone and camera touching. Would be so good! I often go back to watch your old videos as they feel comforting and less ‘produced’ xx
I Love Hearing Your Perspective On Things Thank You for Taking The Time To Make This Q & A ☺️❤️
That is very true Maria, you often bond better with a person if you hate or dislike the same things. Hate really has power lol
STOP ASKING PEOPLE (WOMEN ESPECIALLY) ABOUT THEIR FAMILY PLANNING CHALLENGE!
Maria coming through with KNOWLEDGE
I just love listening to you. You’re so soft and genuine. I just feel warm listening to you ❤️
Hello 🥰 just popping on to say hi and let you know that I set up my UA-cam channel to raise awareness for EDS and other chronic illnesses that I have ! Just uploaded my first video 🥰 if you felt like checking it out and maybe subscribing that would honestly mean the world 🥰🥰🥰xx
As a westerner, I was super surprised when I traveled to Japan and saw how common co-sleeping is for parents. I suspect there could be a space rationale for a lot of people, but it's completely normal, and the kids there, by and large, seem to have turned out alright.
Co sleeping was the best decision we have ever made with our little girl, your so right if it doesn't work for your family don't force it. Such important messages Maria 🌸🌼🌻🌸🌼
I want mom friends. I don’t have many and the ones I do are mostly because my husband is friends with their husband. I had 2 that I was seeing often and they both just stopped talking to me and 1 canceled our play dates the last couple times... so of course I feel like its something I did.
It’s okay let me tell you once your kiddo goes to school my friend had her kids in a nice private school but she made the best mom friends volunteering and stuff when kids go to k-5th is when you will meet the most moms or even try activities and also music and mommy and me classes 😊😊😊
Yay! I’ve missed your chats. 🌻
Edit: I love hearing you talk about home. My parents are immigrants as well and they always miss home. Would you ever consider moving back to Russia with your family? I hope that’s not too personal. No need to answer if it is! Sending you all the love. 💛

maria in a way is my second mom I've been comforted by her since I was 13 😭😭 no one can compare to her tingles!
I dont understand people's obsession with wanting others to have more children. Those people that are pressuring you to have children aren't gonna be there to deal with the hardship and trouble. YOU ARE! They will be standing on the sidelines watching you suffer. Will they be there to breastfeed the child? NO. Will they be there when the child gets sick and you have to miss work? NO. Will they be there when the child goes missing and you worry to death? NO. How about when the child grows up and deals with bullying, depression, suicidal thoughts, body image issues or alcohol and drug issues? NO. THEY will be nowhere. Stop pressuring people to have babies. This has got to stop. Good job on not giving in to societal pressure and choosing your own path and destiny. ❤
Sewing is my jam (I make historical clothing and give costumed history talks for a living), so I would LOVE if you do some sewing ASMR!

deodorant: I had the same problem try baking soda and body oil (such as almond oil). That's it this works you can add an essential oil if you ant. But this works and it is inexpensive. Have a great day. :)
I gotta agree with you about the natural deodorants. I have yet to find one that actually works. I hate wasting money on these things
My favorite DIY natural deodorant that I wear Mon thru Thu or whenever I’m home all day is this simple recipe that I keep in a small jar: 1 T. Baking soda + 1 T. Corn starch + 6 drops of doTerra peppermint essential oil. When I have a special event to attend and need 1000% protection, I use SECRET “Paris” antiperspirant/deodorant.
I love what you said about your personal body positivity thoughts at this time. I also just learned about the idea of "body neutrality" instead, and I'm appreciating that frame of mind, too!
The thumbnail is literally a mood 🤣
Having one child is as good as having two, three or even more. I have one child and it was a great decision for me because I knew I want to give all my attention to a child and having more would frustrate that and be too much for me to handle.
My son has always been a very happy child, our connection is very deep and has always been great. He's an adult now who knows very, very good what's right for him or what's not.
I have sometimes been told being "egoistic" to have only one child. But in my view évery wish to have a child is egoistic; it's after all always yóur own wish, there is never a child ásking te come into this world.
So knowing what feels right for you and your family is key and very important; it's the only way to be as good a parent as you can be!
- TITLE: "More kids?"
- THUMBNAIL: (Maria chugging a glass of wine)
😂 The thumbnai here is EVERYTHING. Thanks for this Q&A relaxed chat. Love listening to these!
Mom of one by choice. Thank you for talking about that option in such a matter-of-fact and positive way. There is so much guilting and pressure we get to have more kids and how you answered that question (whether you end up having 1 or 10 kids) was really cathartic to hear. ❤️❤️ healed some hurts. TY
Why are assholes asking you if you’re having more kids. My god. That is so upsetting for Mothers- especially those thay are trying and/or cant. Not to mention miscarriage is really common. One and done is amazing and is beginning to be the new norm because being a parent is HARD. One child is fulfilling and loving!
Good for you saying one and done. So many people feel they have to have at least 2 kids and are made to feel uncomfortable having an only child as the child will be 'lonely' etc. I have so many friends now in the one and done club (through choice) and their children are just fine and have friends and are in no way lonely. Only children get the absolute best from their parents and with overpopulation its definitely something that alot of people are taking onboard now 💗
I can't be the only one thinking we need Maria Podcasts?!
Thank you for your honesty! It's so refreshing.
I have been a subscriber of your asmr channel since 2015 when I was struggling with fertility issues. I found your asmr channel and asmr at the same time and it really helped my stress levels... and more importantly my insomnia! I then found this channel and suddenly I had something to help me mentally too.
We're almost the exact same age and so are our daughters. I really feel a connection with the things you say and do and you've helped keep my sanity at times!
I too am one and done... as my husband and I feel fulfilled right now. Its comforting to hear some one else feels this way too.
Please keep being you! Sending love and best wishes from the UK.
Reminds me of my sister. Totally afraid to put her daughter in bed with her because you're told not to. She was running on fumes for WEEKS because her baby was up all night crying to be close to mom and dad. Then one weekend I came over, plucked the baby from her crib (after an hour of crying), went to my bed, laid her on my chest, and we both slept soundly through the night. My sister's eyes were opened.
Like Maria said: Do what's best for you and your baby. My sister really wanted to keep her baby in bed with her, but didn't because she thought it was bad. I knew that I don't roll around in my sleep (I'm most comfortable on my back) and am a light sleeper. I knew I could keep my niece safe. After my sister realized it was possible, that's what she did.
Now my niece is 2 and is great at sleeping on her own!
I feel she’s my best friend even tho she’s 35 and I’m 16 🥺😩 , bestie you’re the best
Omg I started watching Maria when I was around 16! She really does feel like my friend 😂
@@pockyeatingpanda ooo that’s dope !
Oh gosh how I needed this little talk session from you! I wish we lived closer because I feel like we could get along so well. But I'm not sure if I'd water down my wine haha
I love when I can find people who can cut through all of the bullshit and be real right off the bat. I like to have those conversations who can hold up their end.
Also, I think one of the things that people really enjoy about your videos is the eye contact you have with the camera, and breaking that 4th wall so that you invite people in to have a conversation with you, even if we are thousands of miles away. It is effective and something that a lot of people miss when they are doing videos.
Maria I only have one daughter also and I get asked all the time when will I have another for her to have a play mate and I’m just very content wit only havin one also
I’ve never done well in therapy…. But your videos… they are very helpful haha
Hi, Maria and happy Friday!😊😊😊😊. I watched your ASMR videos and it was so brilliant!💙💙💙💙💙💙👍. The Marilyn Monroe outfit was fantastic with pearls, sunglasses and a scarf!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍. And I love it so much. Have a great weekend and keep up the good work!😊😙💙💙💙💙💙💜💜💜💜💜💜😊👍
Thanks for answering my question about pizza but I'm not a girl 😂😂
I’m an only child as well and I LOVE it. I remember my parents asking me if I wanted any sisters or brothers when I was little and me firmly saying “No!” even back then😂 so they ended up having only me and I ended up receiving all their love and attentions 😍
Maria, I’m sitting here with my glass of wine while dinner is cooking and my husband has the toddler outside. This week has been such a difficult one with said toddler. I KNOW that you know what I mean. So I’m so grateful you decided to upload this. You’re someone I wish I could hang out with in real life for real!
18:12 aww imagine if you did an asmr video saying stuff like that for some personal attention... since most people already feel your motherly vibe it'd be cute 🤧 (plus a lot of people's moms have never said anything like that to them :( 💔) id love the positive vibes of that ahhh
Wow 35 your young, im 42
I gave birth to 7 boys in my early 20s
I think my youth is what saved me back then
I haven't the energy of that younger woman that endured so much energy
Time flies however 💕💯💕💯💕💕
Good advice. Thanks for sharing this with us. I have one amazing child, 13yo now. I love him to pieces, our family of three is complete. :)
You bring me INSTANT feeling of safety
that breastfeeding tip just gave me the reminder to start transitioning to bottle. Breastfeeding is SUCH hard work and really
inconvenient.
Ive done both and I have to say Bottles are more of a pain IMO. All that washing sterilizing, drying, measuring, boiling, waiting vs Boob out, baby on.
@@BunnaySango that's why I started, if I'm honest... but with work and going to school, she goes without eating if I'm not there.
I've done both and bottles are so much more work. Sterilize, the cost of formula, the inconvenience of having to carry stuff everywhere. With breastfeeding you whip out the boob and there it is and then the baby is satisfied. Plus the child has so much more of a connection with you when you breastfeed. You do what's right for you but consider all parts , especially that of the baby, before you make your choice.
You can always pump and freeze the milk !! All employers have to give you time to do this, it is the law! Look into it! :) best luck to you!!
@@loveamerica5725 Woah, hold up, are you saying that children have a better connection with their mom when they're breastfed? that's mom-shaming, not everybody can breastfeed to begin with. And I'm sorry, but as much as you love a child, the mom and her feelings matter just as much as the child's- an unhappy mom is just as dangerous as a mom that doesn't care.
