Maya I have been married and divorced and now I am married again. Take accountability for your actions, decisions, feelings and over all SELF and you’ll be good, put in the WORK. I ask people what do you want your EULOGY to say about YOU? I had to write my mom’s eulogy and she did😢not allow herself to Live, be Happy, find her Peace. I know because she passed at 56 with Cancer and her plan was to travel when she got out the Bed. She never got out the bed, I learned a LIFE LESSON. Book some trips and show your daughter to see the WORLD, Take a Road trip, visit some places she wants to go.
I really appreciate and admire your transparency. I watch another vlogger who introduced her husband on the channel, then went through a whole divorce and moved to another city. She deleted every pre-divorce video from her channel, called it a “rebranding” and never addressed the move or acknowledged the divorce. I felt she was being very disingenuous and dare I say fake and phony. I loss a lot of respect for her. THANK YOU for being the opposite of that. This is one reason of many that your platform is GROWING! Luv you sis!
I’m sorry but that CZcamsr doesn’t owe you anything. You don’t know what she went through within that marriage. She may or may not ever address it, and that’s just fine.
@@IvyElizabeth918. Acting like you didn’t come here for the tea. Girl stop. Her views was going low because the content after it seemed disingenuous. I’m glad the elephant has left the building. We have our Maya back and thank God she addressed it in HER way. 🙏🏽You can pretend to not want to know all you want but her view counts and the fact that you were here soo early is screaming something different. So please! Spare me🥱😴🚮

Some people CLEARLY need a lesson in BOUNDARIES! Wanting to know someone’s business and demanding to know are 2 very DIFFERENT things. We all have a right to change our minds about ANYTHING. I can choose to share details of my personal life today and based on any number of factors I can pivot and not say a word and not owe one person an explanation. While I appreciate the openness here, I can hold space and grace for the other YT’er who chooses not to do so. Divorce is painful in words/ways you can’t even imagine depending on the circumstances. The fact that she’s still trying to show up 4 SHORT months after such a big life change should warrant support. Just my ✌🏾 cents
I totally agree! Why do people assume the husband was a “dusty/scrub?” Did Maya say that? Clearly out of bounds to assume and then let venom proceed out of your mouth.
The makeup ate! The energy ate! The transparency ate! I know the journey of being reborn and shedding the old version of yourself can be so draining. People claim you are "different" and don't understand the evolution and growth so thank you for sharing this with your followers 💜
Loved how you pointed out how people claim you are "different" and how it makes the one changing seem like its negative. No baby, we are changing and moving to a season that doesn't align with what YOU want for ME! So cheers to being "different." *cues 2 Chainz I'm Different* 🥂
@@MayaGaloreGreat book recommendation! Not Nice: Stop People Pleasing, Staying Silent, & Feeling Guilty... And Start Speaking up, Saying No, Asking Boldly, and Unapologetically Being Yourself Recovering people pleaser here😂😅. Black children and women are raised to be people pleasers. To be quiet and consider others first. My friend gave me this book and boy did I identify and change my behavior and actions because I didn't realize my power. I truly hope you get a chance to read it!
Not speaking up for myself, i too had that same problem and what i found out was the reason i would not speak up for myself as an adult is i didn’t like harsh conflict and because of that i would just not speak up. Seeing a therapist help me get pass that. It’s also stems from my childhood. As a child i was very opinionated and my dad would get on me about that. Also being my younger self and speaking up for myself in school, because i didn’t always agree on something or refused to do certain things i would lose friends. That created me slowly as i became an adult not speaking up for myself.
Sis you’re speaking my life. Lol. I’m in the process of figuring out why I didn’t speak up on therapy. It definitely has a childhood root and I’m determined to figure that out so that I don’t make the same mistakes subconsciously. Thanks for sharing sis. That let’s me know it possible to get through and improve 🙌🏾
Thank you for being so transparent! You’re not going to believe this but I’m just finding out how important it is to process childhood trauma and not file it away!!! 😢 Thank you x3!!! I pray that you continue to heal and find true happiness in your life! Looking forward to seeing your next video!
@@MayaGalore That is sooo true! It’s the story of my life! I’m in counseling now and it’s helping. I wish I realized all of this sooner. It would’ve spared me a lot of heartache!

I really admire your transparency and realness. Sometimes we have to go through things before we get to what God has for us… it’s all a learning experience thanks for sharing
You are amazing for being able to go through this and be open about your situation when you don’t have to. I know that some people are just nosy but a lot of it’s so genuinely care even thought we don’t know you personally. I enjoy watching your videos and I know so many more blessings are in store for you. 💕
i agree with it being difficult with the work life balance. My therapist helped me realize that recording my self care time is actually me working 😭 especially when i rarely have self-care time. I'm not fully experiencing spending time with myself.
Creflo Dollar, and I concur, that you ask the hard questions #first before getting married. So that, while you write down the do's and don't of what each has addressed verbally ..you lock it down in a contract (a signed agreement) between just you two.. signifying that which "WE" (as a unit) don't want to break or go against. Because "WE" as a understanding couple, in which us two recognize, as a #covenant that you are entering into.. MARRIAGE IS FOR THE MATURE. 💕
You have a bomb support system and a great baby father! We are glad the old Maya is back, and again, thank you for being transparent and taking accountability without putting down your ex husband.
we understand why you arent devastated about the divorce Maya. that man was bringing you down, in every way. whether you tell us that or not WE COULD SEE IT AND WE KNEW IT. no need to go into detail, WE ARE GLAD YOU REALIZED SOONER THAN LATER THAT YOU DESERVE BETTER!!! bless up ❤
Personally, I’m just thankful you’re In a better position than before. I’m glad that you’re at peace and is getting through it day by day . Keep shining babe❣️
You know what I really appreciate about you Maya is your ability and willingness to be so transparent. God bless you and keep you make his face shine upon you and continuously give you peace as you put your life together the way that you want it to be take care girl.
First of all thank you for your vulnerability. I was very passive in my marriage as well because I’m not a confrontational person but I had to learn to speak my mind as kindly and as godly as I could. Because when I didn’t speak up I internalized my feelings and became angry with myself.
Whew, y’all be wanting content creators to be transparent and then when they are and are open to what happened and the mistakes, here come the judgmental people making a list of folks mistakes. Bruh, she really didn’t have to do any of this. Because all y’all going to do is use it in gossip forums. All the negative nosey’s need to be BLOCKED expeditiously! It takes alot to show your life on these platforms and idc how long you been subscribed, she don’t owe us any info in her personal life. Period.
And they'll talk trash but still be giving her views 🤣🤣🤣 it gives miserable and nosey. we all are to an extent but when people start acting like they're someone's mother and like they deserve an explanation it's very weird...
How come you never address calling your followers evil and the enemy when we said the same thing that you’re now saying? We were concerned that you brought a stranger to live w/your daughter and noticed other red flags and you either deleted our messages or was very shady in your responses.
Yea.. she was doing the most, but she is much better, which is great to see 😊 She probably hasn't addressed it because she's embarrassed by her behavior. Life is about growth, and she is definitely growing ✨️
Maya, I’m so happy that you’re ok. When it appeared that you were unhappily married, I just wanted to give you a hug and a shoulder to cry on. I kept posting in the comments of your blogs that “GOD didn’t bless you, to stress you”. Sometimes we have to walk through the fire to get to where GOD wants us to be so that we can get the abundant blessing that’s waiting for us. Hugs and blessings to you and your princess. 🙏🏽🤗🙏🏽
I truly enjoyed this video. I feel like this is the most vulnerable and self aware you've ever been on a video. I'm not one to comment but I'm on a self healing journey myself. I just discovered that I have a dismissive avoidant attachment style. One thing I struggle with is a fear of intimacy and prefer to block people and keep it moving. One suggestion I would give that might help is taking a look at your attachment style. Some things you mentioned like fear of speaking up for yourself could be a result of an anxious attachment style. It mostly comes from a fear of abandonment. Try and research on it, It's mind opening. Best of luck on your journey.
You and your level of transparency and honesty and explaining your feelings and what happened is really great on the level of you and your feelings as well as helping others. 🙏🏿 Thank You
I wish more women would stand together instead of being so quick to tear the next woman down…as women, we all know how hard life is already INDIVIDUALLY so to treat the next woman in a rude way, is sad. Moral of the story: SAVE THE RUDE COMMENTS & STOP WATCHING IF YOU HAVE THE SLIGHTEST NEGATIVE THING TO SAY. MAYA IS A HUMAN BEING SUBJECT TO MAKING HUMAN MISTAKES LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE…y’all do too much fr & have NO idea what battles folks be fighting OFFLINE. Maya, you have my full support & respect. Keep on being who you are & growing in Christ. You don’t owe us anything so I’m grateful for the pieces of your life you do share…stay beautiful & true to yourself 🙏🏾💋.
This part. Even the bashing of the other individual involved. It’s just not productive. I definitely appreciate Maya’s approach. People keep saying they are entitled to give opinions on the situation. I just don’t know how that translates to being nasty and judgmental. I have so many friends navigating separations and divorces. Maya’s story unfortunately is very common. Lot of men bringing their representatives to the relationship and women having issues with boundary setting and standing up for themselves. It’s not an uncommon mistake to make. I honestly hope men tap in so they can unpack why they aren’t showing up as their true selves and being better helpmates in relationships. I don’t think society is doing a particularly good job of preparing men for marriage either. It’s a cautionary tale for a lot of folks.
I had the same issue with speaking up for myself until I listened to a series from Pastor Creflo Dollar on Approval Addiction. A lot of the time, we have an issue setting boundaries and speaking up for ourselves because we place more emphasis on getting the approval of others/not wanting people to not like us than we do on our own peace and happiness. It's a fantastic series and I recommend checking it out.
@@Oluwadamilola.Adeola It isn't a podcast, it is here on CZcams. Put "Pastor Creflo Dollar and Approval Addiction" in the search field and it will pull up all his teachings on the subject. I hope this helps.
Girlllll! I am happy that you found yourself throughout this process. I did say here and on Instagram that you were to be careful! I smelled something and honestly I saw it coming. I did ask you to get a prenup, protect your property and not have him in your house you just bought! Girl you will be fine. I was trying to have you avoid what I went through but I understand. You don’t know me from a can a worms I didn’t expect you to listen. The most important thing is that you’re recovering and rediscovering. Glad to have you back! God is with you and move on successfully in Jesus name amen!
Thank you for sharing Maya. So many women are in situations, myself included, that aren’t serving us and very unhealthy. These discussions are beneficial to women. I am glad you chose yourself! We should never betray ourselves and our God given intuition.
Thank you for your honesty and openness. Take all the time you require to heal, as it is truly beneficial. You are displaying a remarkable appearance♥️
This video just made me realize how important it is for me to stop being such a silent or quiet supporter….it’s not purposefully I’m just not a social media, internet type of person but i Literally follow u and get so much from your content. U are special! And what you do is not easy! I’m about to go like and comment on EVERYTHING ❤❤❤
God gives us what we need, when we need it! Your journey is necessary for YOU! I just have to say that i miss you doing makeup!!! You are the BEST!!!❤❤❤❤
13:41 I find the same thing happens to me (usually when I’m in relationships). God just doesn’t allow blessings to come through at certain times in life. Btw. That up do hairstyle with the middle part looks great 😊
I just had a whole conversation with my best friend and mom about how black people perpetuate the trauma bond that black men and women have with one another in and outside of romantic relationship based on how we are indoctrinated. I find it so fascinating how black women will often ignore the culture indoctrination we often experience and place EVERYTHING at the feet individual trauma. If someone is with someone who pretends to have the same values, goals, and beliefs, the relationship will undoubtedly be adversarial and difficult to maintain regardless of how much one works on self.
I totally agree with this. If actually hit on a topic like this on my TikTok. I mentioned individual trauma but it doesn’t mean that’s ALL to be said. I’m just trying to us wisdom If you know what I mean. Thanks for that comment sis 🙌🏾🩷
With all do respect, do not feel obligated to share your divorce. Tap into your support network and healing journey. Beautiful makeup application and entrepreneurship advice. Thanks for sharing.
The only question I have is both you and him said you heard God and had signs that followed so are you now saying it was your Own thoughts leading you ?
im glad u touched on giving clothing to those in need im trying to get out of my head and bag up clothing that does not fit who i am now im more business casual or dress down everything else must go thanks for being transparent
I just want to give you props for sharing this in such a way that’s open and vulnerable without having to sacrifice so much of your privacy. I was able to relate with what you shared. I was with my ex for a year and a half and I wanted to marry him so bad. I absolutely would’ve married quickly if he asked. I was so sad when we broke up, but I’m praying that moving forward I date with a sense of calmness and clarity that I didn’t have before. Good luck to you girl!
Hi Maya!!! Your make-up looks flawless per usual!! and I appreciate your transparency. I have been following you for some time now and what drew me to your channel was that just like you I am a single mom to a little girl as well and I applaud you beautiful because you are killing it!! I am so proud of you and keep doing you unapologetically. Being an influencer is freaking hard and remember you don't owe anyone a thing!!
When I watched the wedding and you said no one came from his side of the family I wanted to scream RUN, that seemed like a huge red flag to me, I’m glad you’ve found yourself and are doing so so well xx
I’ve been on a serious healing journey for the past 3 yrs after a long term relationship/engagement. If you’re like me, you probably lose yourself in a relationship and make your life about them. I have abandonment issues and I need to work on that if I ever decide to get back into another relationship.
Maya girlllll!!! That advice to younger self is the EXACT advice I would give to my younger self. I felt like you were in my head this whole video LOL Even with the speaking up for myself. But I am changing that ish as we speak. And yes, a lot of it is routed in trauma for many of us. I'm in my 40's now, and pretty much going through the process of unlearning and learning new things. Blessings to you sis! You are fabulous and inspiring the girls 💞
I really appreciate this video. I’m in a similar position. Started therapy to understand my emotions and to have control of my emotions and my actions and not letting others have that control. I pray you continue to prosper in everything that you do ❤
I relate to you story so much, I am on a self healing journey been doing alot of solo outing, learning about myself things I didn't know, prayers for healing
Now Maya my question is just about before you equating things spiritually and saying your sis prophesied… so was it a false prophecy? Do you think maybe things were over spiritualized?
I was thinking this too but they could have actually been each others husband/wife but because their flesh got involved and they rushed it, it didn’t work. That is what could have made the marriage not last. They could have been for each other but they rushed God’s timing.
@@Moli37 I think black women do this a lot…. In conversations with black women… they’re always saying God said. It’s honestly a part of black female culture at this point. I believe that God speaks but our spirits and our hearts do too. And there is a difference.
I’m watching this video right now and you are so correct. You are learning and don’t beat yourself up too much. Life happens. Keep doing you. You are gorgeous.
I truly enjoy watching you! Your personality is so vibrant!! I jus be laughing an trying not to crying also! Ur extraordinary!! Thanks for such a healthy view. God bless you!
What brush did you use for the blurring tint? Also, you videos are such an inspiration, especially now. I am in my period of waiting and getting so many no’s for jobs. Watching you definitely helps ground me.
You are so blessed Sis! I know God is with you & keeping you. I wish I had been that self aware in my thirties, but God has used my past experiences have shaped me to be HIS surrendered servant... All is well with my soul. Blessings on you during this Season. You are phenomenal ❤️
Whew babe you are me!! Your divorce story def sounds like mine except I stayed in a “not for me” relationship for 5 years! Kuddos to you for realizing you and having the courage! I’m here for it!
First of all you look amazing! Thank you for your transparency! Cheers to continued healing on your journey & your new glow absolutely hits different! 🩷
Hi Maya, hope all well. I've been watching your journey for a while now and I'm very proud of your progress personally and in your business ventures. I feel that we have a lot in common when it comes to morals and things that we like. Ive never heard you speak about who your father is. At 48, my mom doesn't discuss my father with me. I don't know them and it seems like that is a part of my trauma with men that I used to date in my life. Let me know if you feel the same way.. thank you for always being transparent.
Wow, as many times as I have watched your blogs. I never knew you were from St. Louis, hi neighbor 👋🏽 I went through a divorce last year, I always held my head up, I did therapy and I got really into self care. Met someone new later that appreciates who I am. Good luck on your journey, the therapy really helps.
I am so happy to see you in your element. The makeup look was really pretty, but sexy at the same time. You already know how I feel about you...I also feel like you let us in as much as we need to be in my life. I have and always will support you in whatever you decide to do! Keep inspiring the girls to keep going, keep growing and most of all...keep being YOU😘...ITS U 4 ME ....#MYBESTFRIEBD
Thank you so much for the advice in becoming an influencer. I have been interested in it but don’t really think I can mentally handle it and to share my life with people. I am definitely an ambivert but when that introvert comes in to play I don’t want to be bothered.😂
Thanks for sharing your feelings, truly appreciate. I know it’s tough but God will give you the strength! Your daughter has a beautiful & strong mother. Must say she has a supportive Dad whose present in her life. Everything will workout for you Maya! ❤

How come you never address calling your followers evil and the enemy when we said the same thing that you’re now saying? We were concerned that you brought a stranger to live w/your daughter and noticed other red flags and you either deleted our messages or was very shady in your responses.
Yea.. she was doing the most, but she is much better, which is great to see 😊 She probably hasn't addressed it because she's embarrassed by her behavior. Life is about growth, and she is definitely growing ✨️
Maya, I’m so happy that you’re ok. When it appeared that you were unhappily married, I just wanted to give you a hug and a shoulder to cry on. I kept posting in the comments of your blogs that “GOD didn’t bless you, to stress you”. Sometimes we have to walk through the fire to get to where GOD wants us to be so that we can get the abundant blessing that’s waiting for us. Hugs and blessings to you and your princess. 🙏🏽🤗🙏🏽
I truly enjoyed this video. I feel like this is the most vulnerable and self aware you've ever been on a video. I'm not one to comment but I'm on a self healing journey myself. I just discovered that I have a dismissive avoidant attachment style. One thing I struggle with is a fear of intimacy and prefer to block people and keep it moving. One suggestion I would give that might help is taking a look at your attachment style. Some things you mentioned like fear of speaking up for yourself could be a result of an anxious attachment style. It mostly comes from a fear of abandonment. Try and research on it, It's mind opening. Best of luck on your journey.
Not a Wednesday!! Sis, we are here for it. And thank you for your transperancy, it truly helps me in my own situations. :)
I have the same problem speaking up to myself and extreme 😢people pleaser..and it stemmed trom my childhood
You and your level of transparency and honesty and explaining your feelings and what happened is really great on the level of you and your feelings as well as helping others. 🙏🏿 Thank You
I wish more women would stand together instead of being so quick to tear the next woman down…as women, we all know how hard life is already INDIVIDUALLY so to treat the next woman in a rude way, is sad. Moral of the story: SAVE THE RUDE COMMENTS & STOP WATCHING IF YOU HAVE THE SLIGHTEST NEGATIVE THING TO SAY. MAYA IS A HUMAN BEING SUBJECT TO MAKING HUMAN MISTAKES LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE…y’all do too much fr & have NO idea what battles folks be fighting OFFLINE.
Maya, you have my full support & respect. Keep on being who you are & growing in Christ. You don’t owe us anything so I’m grateful for the pieces of your life you do share…stay beautiful & true to yourself 🙏🏾💋.
Thank you my sister 🙏🏾🥰
This part. Even the bashing of the other individual involved. It’s just not productive. I definitely appreciate Maya’s approach.
People keep saying they are entitled to give opinions on the situation. I just don’t know how that translates to being nasty and judgmental.
I have so many friends navigating separations and divorces. Maya’s story unfortunately is very common. Lot of men bringing their representatives to the relationship and women having issues with boundary setting and standing up for themselves. It’s not an uncommon mistake to make.
I honestly hope men tap in so they can unpack why they aren’t showing up as their true selves and being better helpmates in relationships. I don’t think society is doing a particularly good job of preparing men for marriage either.
It’s a cautionary tale for a lot of folks.
I had the same issue with speaking up for myself until I listened to a series from Pastor Creflo Dollar on Approval Addiction. A lot of the time, we have an issue setting boundaries and speaking up for ourselves because we place more emphasis on getting the approval of others/not wanting people to not like us than we do on our own peace and happiness. It's a fantastic series and I recommend checking it out.
What’s the title of this particular podcast please?
@@Oluwadamilola.Adeola It isn't a podcast, it is here on CZcams. Put "Pastor Creflo Dollar and Approval Addiction" in the search field and it will pull up all his teachings on the subject. I hope this helps.
CZcams “Approval Addiction”.
Girlllll! I am happy that you found yourself throughout this process. I did say here and on Instagram that you were to be careful! I smelled something and honestly I saw it coming. I did ask you to get a prenup, protect your property and not have him in your house you just bought! Girl you will be fine. I was trying to have you avoid what I went through but I understand. You don’t know me from a can a worms I didn’t expect you to listen. The most important thing is that you’re recovering and rediscovering. Glad to have you back! God is with you and move on successfully in Jesus name amen!
That giggle of yours an I take it as a nervous thing, and it is cute
I thought I was the only person that picked up on that 😂😂.
YOU'RE ALMOST AT 500K, its lit 🗣️🗣️✨✨♥️♥️
It’s lit!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for sharing Maya. So many women are in situations, myself included, that aren’t serving us and very unhealthy.
These discussions are beneficial to women. I am glad you chose yourself! We should never betray ourselves and our God given intuition.
Yesssss a Wednesday video. I’m so excited you’re coming to the Tea Party in December.
Yesss I’m so excited!!!
Thank you for your honesty and openness. Take all the time you require to heal, as it is truly beneficial.
You are displaying a remarkable appearance♥️
Miss Lady you just glowing ❤ God is really seeing you through this . I go to therapy myself. It's just like this God + therapy= healing .
Kudos to you! Keep speaking your truth and helping us heal with you., cause we all out here struggling 😂
So proud of you! ❤ Thank you for sharing your strength! 🙏🏾
This video just made me realize how important it is for me to stop being such a silent or quiet supporter….it’s not purposefully I’m just not a social media, internet type of person but i Literally follow u and get so much from your content. U are special! And what you do is not easy! I’m about to go like and comment on EVERYTHING ❤❤❤
God gives us what we need, when we need it! Your journey is necessary for YOU! I just have to say that i miss you doing makeup!!! You are the BEST!!!❤❤❤❤
13:41 I find the same thing happens to me (usually when I’m in relationships). God just doesn’t allow blessings to come through at certain times in life. Btw. That up do hairstyle with the middle part looks great 😊
‼️‼️‼️
Yesss that is what happened to me. I know because of how easy things are happening and flowing right now without my help 🙌🏾 and thanks babe!!!
@@MayaGalore Yes absolutely. I saw it. Well done. I’m soo proud of you. 🙏🏽💖
I just had a whole conversation with my best friend and mom about how black people perpetuate the trauma bond that black men and women have with one another in and outside of romantic relationship based on how we are indoctrinated. I find it so fascinating how black women will often ignore the culture indoctrination we often experience and place EVERYTHING at the feet individual trauma.
If someone is with someone who pretends to have the same values, goals, and beliefs, the relationship will undoubtedly be adversarial and difficult to maintain regardless of how much one works on self.
I totally agree with this. If actually hit on a topic like this on my TikTok. I mentioned individual trauma but it doesn’t mean that’s ALL to be said. I’m just trying to us wisdom If you know what I mean. Thanks for that comment sis 🙌🏾🩷
With all do respect, do not feel obligated to share your divorce. Tap into your support network and healing journey. Beautiful makeup application and entrepreneurship advice. Thanks for sharing.
On a side note, you should do a claw clip hairstyle. It brought out the beautiful features of your face.
The only question I have is both you and him said you heard God and had signs that followed so are you now saying it was your Own thoughts leading you ?
im glad u touched on giving clothing to those in need im trying to get out of my head and bag up clothing that does not fit who i am now im more business casual or dress down everything else must go thanks for being transparent
I just want to give you props for sharing this in such a way that’s open and vulnerable without having to sacrifice so much of your privacy. I was able to relate with what you shared. I was with my ex for a year and a half and I wanted to marry him so bad. I absolutely would’ve married quickly if he asked. I was so sad when we broke up, but I’m praying that moving forward I date with a sense of calmness and clarity that I didn’t have before. Good luck to you girl!
This is definitely giving an oldie but a goodie with these makeup chit chats. I remember watching you do them when you lived in STL
Probably my favorite makeup look of yours😍 Thanks for being open but protective of your life. Especially when it comes to your daughter.
Hi Maya!!! Your make-up looks flawless per usual!! and I appreciate your transparency. I have been following you for some time now and what drew me to your channel was that just like you I am a single mom to a little girl as well and I applaud you beautiful because you are killing it!! I am so proud of you and keep doing you unapologetically. Being an influencer is freaking hard and remember you don't owe anyone a thing!!
If I could do my own makeup like this I wouldn’t talk to ppl 🤣🤣🤣
You are extremely beautiful inside and out ❤
Thank you for sharing miss Maya. Truly see a difference in you and I am happy that you are doing well and staying positive.
When I watched the wedding and you said no one came from his side of the family I wanted to scream RUN, that seemed like a huge red flag to me, I’m glad you’ve found yourself and are doing so so well xx
I’ve been on a serious healing journey for the past 3 yrs after a long term relationship/engagement. If you’re like me, you probably lose yourself in a relationship and make your life about them. I have abandonment issues and I need to work on that if I ever decide to get back into another relationship.
Same sis. Same.
Thumbs up for the captions
Girl, can you please do a tutorial on how to cover up texture on skin while doing makeup? Or products to use, cause wow, it's so hard to cover it up
The face is giving sis. Lovin' it. And happy to see you thriving ❤
Maya girlllll!!! That advice to younger self is the EXACT advice I would give to my younger self. I felt like you were in my head this whole video LOL Even with the speaking up for myself. But I am changing that ish as we speak. And yes, a lot of it is routed in trauma for many of us. I'm in my 40's now, and pretty much going through the process of unlearning and learning new things. Blessings to you sis! You are fabulous and inspiring the girls 💞
I really appreciate this video. I’m in a similar position. Started therapy to understand my emotions and to have control of my emotions and my actions and not letting others have that control. I pray you continue to prosper in everything that you do ❤
So much growth! Rooting for you Maya! Stay positive and be blessed!🙏❤
I relate to you story so much, I am on a self healing journey been doing alot of solo outing, learning about myself things I didn't know, prayers for healing
Hello sis you did good answer those questions so proud of you keep on being you blessings 😊
Now Maya my question is just about before you equating things spiritually and saying your sis prophesied… so was it a false prophecy? Do you think maybe things were over spiritualized?
I was thinking this too but they could have actually been each others husband/wife but because their flesh got involved and they rushed it, it didn’t work. That is what could have made the marriage not last. They could have been for each other but they rushed God’s timing.
@@Moli37 I think black women do this a lot…. In conversations with black women… they’re always saying God said. It’s honestly a part of black female culture at this point. I believe that God speaks but our spirits and our hearts do too. And there is a difference.
Wow those eyes though❤❤❤❤. Super proud of you Maya. You are glowing
I’m watching this video right now and you are so correct. You are learning and don’t beat yourself up too much. Life happens. Keep doing you. You are gorgeous.
Your skin is so soft, chocolate, & velvety smooth! 🤎
Thank youuuu 🥰
Ugh. I so miss the 2 times a week uploads!! ❤❤
Trying to get back into the grove! 🙌🏾
I admire your courage. You’re so graceful. May God bless you and make your path prosperous.💙
I truly enjoy watching you! Your personality is so vibrant!! I jus be laughing an trying not to crying also! Ur extraordinary!! Thanks for such a healthy view. God bless you!
Awww thanks you sis 🙌🏾🥹
What brush did you use for the blurring tint? Also, you videos are such an inspiration, especially now. I am in my period of waiting and getting so many no’s for jobs. Watching you definitely helps ground me.
I am also like that! I put others needs before my own.
You are so blessed Sis! I know God is with you & keeping you. I wish I had been that self aware in my thirties, but God has used my past experiences have shaped me to be HIS surrendered servant... All is well with my soul. Blessings on you during this Season. You are phenomenal ❤️
Whew babe you are me!! Your divorce story def sounds like mine except I stayed in a “not for me” relationship for 5 years! Kuddos to you for realizing you and having the courage! I’m here for it!
Thank you sis!! And you got out. That’s all that matters at this point 🙌🏾
Wow Maya… what an awesome video🫶🏽 you handle yourself with such poise and dignity 👌 also watching you do your makeup never gets old🤩
Thank you so much Maya, for clearing the air, because I am like a Moma Hen ❤😊
First of all you look amazing! Thank you for your transparency! Cheers to continued healing on your journey & your new glow absolutely hits different! 🩷
Hi Maya, hope all well. I've been watching your journey for a while now and I'm very proud of your progress personally and in your business ventures.
I feel that we have a lot in common when it comes to morals and things that we like.
Ive never heard you speak about who your father is. At 48, my mom doesn't discuss my father with me. I don't know them and it seems like that is a part of my trauma with men that I used to date in my life. Let me know if you feel the same way.. thank you for always being transparent.
Did you see the signs before you got married to him that it wasn’t going to work; or do you feel like as you got into it the signs started to show?
Maya you are like a real life Disney Princess, great video! Let me go stock this sephora cart 😂❤
‘How is your heart? How are u mentally?’ 2 questions I needed to ask myself. I will definitely taking some time with myself & answer these questions.
The makeup looks beautiful 😍
May this new season of your life be filled with joy & blessings ❤
That makeup by Mario palette is stunning. I enjoyed this
Great video. Good for you. I'm happy to hear that you look forward to the future. You are definitely an inspiration.
This video is doing well coz you're facing us directly. More this style or make this a seriea Makeup & Tea Wednesday
Write a book Maya
This is the second comment saying this 🤭
Going through a similar situation. I told my mother the same thing I have to allow myself to grieve/feel this divorce. Praying for you.
Wow, as many times as I have watched your blogs. I never knew you were from St. Louis, hi neighbor 👋🏽 I went through a divorce last year, I always held my head up, I did therapy and I got really into self care. Met someone new later that appreciates who I am. Good luck on your journey, the therapy really helps.
I am so happy to see you in your element. The makeup look was really pretty, but sexy at the same time.
You already know how I feel about you...I also feel like you let us in as much as we need to be in my life. I have and always will support you in whatever you decide to do! Keep inspiring the girls to keep going, keep growing and most of all...keep being YOU😘...ITS U 4 ME ....#MYBESTFRIEBD
Thank you sis 🥹🙌🏾
New collaborations are waiting for you!😘😘
Maya it’s crazy how little spectacular of yourself remind me of myself. I feel like I need to speaker up for myself as week.
Thank you so much for the advice in becoming an influencer. I have been interested in it but don’t really think I can mentally handle it and to share my life with people. I am definitely an ambivert but when that introvert comes in to play I don’t want to be bothered.😂
Thanks for sharing this really helps a lot of us as being a woman. Keep going no matter what 😊
Thanks for sharing your feelings, truly appreciate. I know it’s tough but God will give you the strength! Your daughter has a beautiful & strong mother. Must say she has a supportive Dad whose present in her life. Everything will workout for you Maya! ❤
I do the same thing. I put others needs before mine. Its tiring
