About Shameless Maya
"What would happen if I shamelessly promoted myself for 365 days?" My channel started out as a social media experiment, and now it's a lifestyle. I hope my journey from shame to shameless inspires you and others not to be ashamed of who you are and to share and celebrate that shamelessly. Here on my channel, you'll find videos on lifestyle, inspiration, fun transformations, techie vids for aspiring geeks, beauty, fashion, and so much more.
I’ve been reading your comments and I just want to thank you all for being so supportive and positive. I truly feel blessed to have angels not just here on the countryside but also here in the comments. And for those of you that have seen me grow throughout the years, a huge thank you! You have really seen the evolution and I’m grateful for where this shameless journey has taken us 🙏🏾✨ Now for this next chapter with Shameless Saga 🤣
💖💖

Wow you look so womenly now, Now i know what i looked like from young teen to adult teen CONGRATS AND BLESSINGS
Amen 🙏🏽.
Wow I'm late to the arrival nevertheless congratulation Maya!🙃🙏🏾
Can we just take a few minutes to APPRECIATE where God has brought Maya from... This time 3-4 years ago, things didn't seem like they was ok..
But what a blessing to know that God was working behind the scenes..
This is just so beautiful
I said awhile ago it’s incredible….this woman worked with Prince, no the real Prince the incredible musician 😮😮😮😮…
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
@@alphaandomega1332 That is how I first found her. I was so sad, looking for everything Prince....and I came across her talking about working with him. I really loved her spirit, and kept coming back....and subscribed. What a joy she has always been to watch....
@@TaylorMadeCori Yes ma’am. I’ve watched since was living in a small apartment in New York. I think that was one of the many times she shaved her hair off.. and it was something intriguing about her. I like to learn things from people young or old ..,and I’ve watched her life literally transform …very intelligent girl, she’s no dummy…
AMEN!
I am in absolute awe of you! You're so incredibly strong. Also I couldn't imagine doing a silent breath in between the worst contractions. 😂
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 right?! I’ve seen women do it and I was so down until show time 🤣
Congratulations to you too lovely on your beautiful Baby and family
Maya, when I said I love you, I mean it. I found myself tearing up as you explained your trauma of love. You are everybody's daughter, mother, sister, aunt, and cousin. May God bless you, Max, and the little one.
Very well said! Amen
Yes,you said it 🥰🥰🥰🥰I love it. The words I tried to say. 🌞
“Papaya out of my Maya” 😂
Love you so much girl, I’ve been watching you for years, I’m 28 and just had my first baby 4 months ago. Cool to experience things in the same year! Blessings to you and your family🌸
i had to rewind to make sure i heard that right lol i love her
Many blessings to you and the baby!!!!
“F the silent breathe yo, it was all about the roaring” love that
🤣🤣🤣
@@shamelessmaya 😂❤️
Such a wonderful testimony to encourage women who have their first baby, not in the 20s. Well done!!!
One of the most graphic, entertaining and hilarious birth stories ever 😄. Second only to Patrcia Bright who gave birth in the hallway. Y'all are some brave and funny ladies.
Yessss I cried laughing so much during Patricias birth story “OMG there’s a head in my hallway” 😂 😆
I was 17 when I first watched your videos. I’m 23 and I can’t believe the journey you went through. I’m so happy for you Maya! Congratulations Maya on everything🤍
I just got chills reading your comment.
That's kinda trippy but I love it! Thank you for riding all these years!
After 4 babies I’ve learned it’s all about moving and breathing with the waves of labor. Letting that roar out is so powerful… and having a calm environment free from distractions to prevent you from holding back is key. Preparing your mind along with your body is also key. For my third baby I prepared with a hypnolabor course and I had a completely pain free euphoric birth at home. It is definitely possible. I love the books you mentioned too. You are such a powerful woman and will be an incredible mom.
What is a hypnolabor course?
@@TheCityDweller1 it was a 6 week course with a hypnobirthing coach (Hypnobabies has similar coaches). They teach you about birth, help you move past any fears before labor, and help you learn and practice the techniques to make birth easier. It was a fabulous experience. If I ever get pregnant again I would definitely take this coarse again.
I swear we Black women are not designed for silent breathing during labor. It never worked for me. For me, it was the louder the better. I spoke with a few of my black birthers who said it’s a common misconception that silent breathing works across the board.
I work in a labor and delivery department. No matter the race, all women are loud breathing when it gets down to it! It’s the woman warrior cry!
@@taxr2111 True!!
same with my labor and i'm a very quiet person.
@@user-qe4zj6iu4s You must have started your journey of meditation before you were pregnant. Is that correct? That kind of control is usually practiced through meditation, not started at once. Many people claim that they can't meditate at all at first. Some meditate, but can't get to the deeper levels.
@@user-qe4zj6iu4s that’s great to know. Thanks for sharing.
“Shake my ass Max!” 🤣 you guys are the cutest
I love the love you & Max share. the “shake my ass” honestly was too funny 😂 cheers to the journey you two are embarking on ✨
I was looking for someone else who died at the "shake my ass, Max" 🤣
There is something so beautiful about saying, "I'm here to catch you"...I feel like crying as I hear that. Such love, during baby's trauma of leaving a safe place..."Yes, you feel safe where you were, but you will be safe where are are arriving to; I am here. We are here." 💖
"trying to squeeze a giant papaya out of my maya" LOL
What an absolutely beautiful story. I'm 42 and I've never had a baby. I was somewhat afraid that a human being has to come out of my body but this is one of the best stories that I've heard. Thanks for being open and honest.
Maya, I started watching you when you were in the city, just went through your divorce, and cut your hair off… then watched you manifest your best life, moving to LA and now you and Max and the baby 🥺. I am so so so happy for you and your new family. Thank you for sharing your journey with us ❤️
Girl. You're 39? AMAZING!! And an inspiration for those of us who will be having babies in our late 30's. Thank you for sharing 💕
Ikr
Yeah!!!
Women are having babies in 40s n 50s nowadays 30s is nothing lol
Yessss 🤩🙌❤❣
I just turned 42 friday and yep you guessed it I just found out I'm expecting for the first time.
aww I love your story! You have always been Fearless girl! So happy for you. Can’t believe you’re a Mama! Been watching you since the beginning!
I never had a baby and want one. This is the best information on how it could go I've ever seen. Most women never tell exactly how it feels leading up to giving birth and not knowing scares me since I already have a bad period 🤦🏾♀️
Omg Maya!!! Congrats 🥺❤️
Thank you beautiful!
You even look like a mom now! I'm so happy for you Maya. ❤️
I was about to say the same !
Lol. How do mums look?!
@@misselle1430 i think its a certain vibe/glow they give off?
Congratulations to you both. I had natural childbirth, but in the hospital with my husband there all 3 times. No stitches, no meds, and was in the hospital 7 days (much older than you so this was the protocol then.), with each birth. Nursed 3 healthy boys. Enjoy her while you can, bc b4 you know it, she will be 21. Also, have another so that she will have a playmate…LOL. One of the most exciting times of my life, but it is definitely for the young. Now the grandmother of 7 beautiful grands, 6 boys & only 1 girl. Stay real! Life is amazing! Blessings Abundant!
Its crazy to basically grow up with your favorite influencers. Been here since the beginning and now 35, married, with two boys. Congrats and welcome to motherhood!
Beautiful! You were instinctively in tune with your body Maya. We as women know ourselves and our body best, it's what we're meant to do. You DID IT GIRL!!! Shamelessly too! Congratulations again! She's precious 💕
That’s what happened to my daughter, the midwife hand her feel the baby’s head and than held a mirror up and let her see what was happening with each contraction because she was rocking the baby in and out due to the rim of fire….instead of pushing her out! With the next push that baby was out!!! Midwives and Doulas are PRICELESS!!!!
While my husband did his best, my midwives are my earth angels. Their names were Sandrine and Joëlle. I love them with all my heart and I will never forget their kind eyes, healing touch and wise words. I wouldn't have survived my two pregnancies without them, and hypno-birthing. I love them and I think about them when birthing stories come up. Beautiful birth story, Maya!
Girl, I've been following you so long....
I remember when you chopped ALL of your hair off! Congrats on your marriage, baby, and new life. 💞💞💞
"I decided to let my voice go" girl! I felt that! I started tearing up because I feel as women sometimes we don't know if people, even our supporters can handle our intensity, our crazy magnetism to the energy we hold so you just released all sense of being judged to RELEASE and allow the universe to support you! wow! You are so Beautiful! I feel in some more deeply societal, conditional ways we don't allow ourselves, as women, to really release all that we are
Look at all that healthy hair!!!! You’re glowing 🤎 thank you for sharing your story!
I am BEYOND happy for you babe
I had a home birth & at some point the thought of “why did I do this” lol went through my mind. But yeah I had to quickly remove that thought & think positively. Congrats on your new baby!
I am currently 23 weeks, 4 days pregnant. And I don’t normally freak out about what labor will be like. But the closer I get there, the more nervous I become. This was so reassuring. I’m praying for a healthy home birth 🙏🏾
When you said
I’m awake and coherent I should be like this…
Childbirth has been shown in such a way that extreme pain or discomfort is the way we expect to feel during because it is all that is typically shown to the world
When I went in at 36 weeks after laboring all day at work, they almost sent me home because I was calm and they did not believe I was in active labor
Well sure enough I was and I was already 6cm dilated
I would have driven over an hour home and given birth in my car if I had left without making them check me
Long story short, birthing is different for everyone and you’d be surprised just how many women have a calming experience as opposed to what is traditionally seen in media
Blessings to you and your family
I’m so grateful that the Lord blessed you with a peaceful labor and delivery
When I had my daughter I kept wanting to escape the hospital room. I kept looking out the window thinking if I just leave the pain will go lol. Congratulations to your family.
my name is soraya so now when i have a baby im gonna say im "pushing a papya out of my soraya" lmao i love that
You have such a beautiful name!🥰🥰 Does it mean anything?
Aw thank you, some Persian people I’ve met said it means “bright light” 💡
@@soraya1996 It's from Thurayya, which is the constellation of the Pleiades
@@neosomaliana omg that sounds so beautiful lol, thank you for sharing that with me
You didn't tear at all!? Amazing! You did a fantastic job, congratulations to you and your new family!
Awww! Mama Maya 😍 Congrats to you both!!
This was great to see. I used to be midwifery student (out of hospital), and know everything you are talking about. Yes, where you birth doesn't define a woman. HOwever hospital vs. home are night and day, as well as the care you receive. America still has a way's to go as far as maternity care and standard procedures birthing in hospitals. Please do a video on postpartum. No one rarely talks about it. Even as I was a student I didn't realize the magnification of how hard PP is. "Strom" is a scar word, yet can be true. It's vital woman have a support system to help mom after baby comes.
Home birth is such a beautiful thing. I am so happy to see more women choosing this route. I’ve now had two home births after a traumatic hospital birth. Congratulations to you and your husband!! You hit all the points in this video. Spot on how I felt delivering at home.
This is one of the most incredible birthing stories ever.
Definitely not for everyone, but I’m so glad you had a beautiful, healthy delivery
I’ve been following Maya since she was giving photography tips and shaved her head for the first time I think I was in 10th grade. Seeing her growth is so amazing
It's has always been a Creative happiness for #Drdodoyi ON CZcams herbs to cure me totally from the Deadly Cancer.

Girl! You're so right about labor starts after. Initially, my breasts hurt so much from first-time breastfeeding. Going to the bathroom (1 & 2) was equally as challenging. And I learned the hard way how much I took sleep for granted. Also, multiple soaked shirts from the milk. Basically, my body felt like I threw myself from a balcony for the 1st couple of weeks. TMI, yo.
It's not "TMI", woman need to share these things, they are normal:)
Oh yes! My nipples were raw and chapped the first 2 weeks of breastfeeding but what saved me was nipple shells!!! So my nipples could heal. Then me and baby figured out breastfeeding and it barely hurts now. Maybe the first few seconds for each latch but that’s probably because I’m lazy and can’t bother to wait for my son’s mouth to open wide so we can get a proper latch lol. I’ll just give him the boob quickly now lol he’ll figure out a proper latch after he’s on me lol.
Saaaaaame, and I did it twice!
This is so beautiful 🥺 I remember watching Maya when I was a freshman in high school now, I’m 25 still watching your videos. Seeing your growth is so inspiring.
My coworker was the same way. It was her second baby and she kept saying to me “I feel period cramps” and I said “you mean contractions” hahah
Gosh who knew I would be adding Maya to my pregnancy after 30 playlist. This is so awesome witness and I can’t wait to join you as I bring into fruition a baby. ✨
Wow..you opted for natural birth fir your first baby. You are a warrior
Girl the transition to being a mom looks good on you! You are beautiful momma!
The throat and the vagina are connected so it’s amazing to hear you talk about vocalizing being a helpful part of your process 💕
I could go screaming for joy in the streets, I AM THAT HAPPY for you. Congrats you are a wonderful mum
Wow. I haven’t watched you in about 3-4 years. Didn’t even know I had your notifications on! You’re still saying papaya lol 😭😭😭. Ok but anyways, congratulations ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
I know right?! You have ALOT of catching up to do. 🤣
Make sure you check out her other channel!
@@jessicaaudate I’m going to binge watch this weekend 😩😭😭
Me too
@@eyeamLadyDi 🙌🏽
I've been watching you since high school and finding out you just had a baby makes me SO happy for you! Wishing you the absolute best as a new mama!
Thanks maya this is inspiring. I’m at my 40 pregnancy week. And I’m waiting so impatiently…
God bless, have a safe and healthy delivery! 💜
Hope you have a safe delivery. I had a baby just a little over 5 weeks ago. A lot can happen but just keep an open mind about the different possibilities.
My home birth sister🥰💞❣you did it mama. My water broke on Sunday morning and my sonshine made his debut on Tuesday night at 9:59pm😰😵💖💞👶🏾❣🥰.... 21 years ago. I'm a doula and prenatal massage therapist. So happy for you and the support system you had, a true gift. Our cellular memory knows what to do, birthin babies ain't nothing knew. You trusted yourself and organically bought a beautiful spirit into the world. God bless you and Max...she has two amazing parents 🤗.
"I can't relax my butt!!!"🤣🤣🤣
IM SOOOOOOOO PROUD OF YOU MAYA Congratulations on your beautiful Baby, Blessings to your family
Maya is the Big Sis everyone needs 😂 really! Thanks for sharing the details Maya, God prepared e-ver-y-thinG! Blessings
Listen! I have watched you since your natural hair videos. To know your story, always see your beauty shining brightly, to seeing you as a shameless mama today, I’m in awe. I am so happy for you and your family. Congratulations Maya 💖
I love how you asked how you could alleviate the contractions when its time there ain't no going back!!!!!
You are sooo right!!! I can definitely do labor again. Postpartum is not it!!!! I felt your story so much because I just had my 3rd but my first homebirth a few weeks ago. I am so glad it happened the way it did because I ended up giving birth before my midwife even got there. It was perfect because it was just me and my husband. It was intimate, and very quick. I was only in active labor for 2 hours but I think it would have been a lot slower if my midwife was there. I feel like I would have had a hard time relaxing under her watch even though I love her! That connection with your significant other during labor is so essential I've learned over my labors. Love your authenticity and your realness! Please make the postpartum video!!!
I could NEVER do this...as in birth a child. I was sweating listening to this story. 😫😫 You did it Maya! Congrats!!!! 😍😍😍
Omg thats so true about the breathing and trying to keep it in and how it prevents your progress. Thats so crazy how real the experience was for you and that you did not push at all. The love you and max had really showed thoughout the birthing process... im so happy for you guyssss.
I love the honesty, you did it completely your way and I loved that. I can’t wait to be a mum one day 🥺 can you do a video of all pregnancy recommendations, after care etc! Would love to see something like this 💓✨
Always a pleasure to see a video of you 😊 it was so wholesome to see your evolution throughout the years, amazing!
I literally cried while watching the delivery video : I follow you for years now and I'm so happy for you. You deserve it all! Dont you ever doubt about it, wish you the best to you and your family 💜
CONGRATS!!! I remember when you chopped all your hair off. Now look at all of that beautiful hair! You will make an amazing mom!!!!
I've been watching you when you live here in New York and now you have a beautiful family. So happy for you Maya, may God continue to bless you and your loving family.
Congratulations Maya and Max. I just want to say not only was the video informative, but I have tears from laughing so hard. When you thought you split in two☝️😂😂😂
It brings me so much joy seeing you this happy and totally in your element. I want to say thank you for sharing this highs and low because it give me hope. Congratulations on the beautiful baby girl. May God cover her and give you all a fruitful life. Love you guys.. hi baby 😊👋🏼
I am a mother, I have been there, but I can't help but thinking this is incredible 🤩 you are such a beast-warrior-mom-lady. And Max is such a champ and gentleman. Stay blessed you guys, we love you 🌻
Omg ❤️ when i felt the baby’s hair i would have started crying then. So beautiful! Thanks for sharing your experience. I’ve been manifesting a home water birth for myself for years. This is so encouraging and pure. Adding this video to my “Natural birth” manifestation playlist. God bless.
Congratulations Max and Maya! You summed up exactly how I felt at childbirth... "overwhelmed with love and shock."
I love that you had a home birth. The mother mortality rate in the US is so high and I think it would be lower if women choose home births.
Or if proper care was given to everyone equally… and people taking cate of us actually listened to us. But yeah, home births too.
The Moana soundtrack is bomb lol I don't have any kids but I play it for my nieces/cousins and think I sing harder than them lol congratulations on your beautiful little one!
I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only adult (with no kids) that loves the Moana soundtrack, there's just something about it!
Wow the moment the baby was placed in your arms. Your reaction is so beautiful. Congratulations on your successful birth, amazing husband and healthy baby 🧡
This is an unbelievable story of your birth. As a retired midwife I have never had any couple make out during labor. You are so in charge of your body that I wish I could turn the clock back and start all over again. It’s so beautiful to hear how connected you were thru all the stages of your labor. Congratulations to you and Mac.
I love how you explained your whole process. Such a beautiful experience it sounds like.
I forgot a few crucial parts like throwing up and bleeding 😩
I have 3 and did the silent breathing and it seemed to help but I've also screamed and that felt good too and on my knees is so comfortable. Congratulations May she be blessed with wealth health long life and so much happiness, 💕
first-time, expecting mom here - i sobbed soooo hard watching your home birth that i couldn’t even comment on the video at the time😭
thanks for sharing your journey & congratulations!!!!!
This is a new chapter in your life. I'm proud of your journey...
😂 “Trying to squeeze a giant papaya out of my Maya!”
Thanks for the laugh. Congratulations! I am so happy for you!🥰💖💕
I LOVEEEE the transparency of this video , all the details like YASSS this is what I need when I search for birth videos. Thank you for sharing this experience with us ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for giving a great in depth testimony of home birth. It makes me want to have one. I had been considering home birth for years now, but this helped me to know that this is the correct choice for me as far as I can see. Congrats to you and Max. And a big warm welcome to baby girl Saga!!! Stay Blessed!!!
I've watched the birth vlog about 9 times now. Since you have more subscribers here, consider posting on this channel as well. Blessings to you all.
This is the type of experience I hope to have one day! Such an inspiring story.
Girl hats off. The pain of child ain’t no joke!!! To do it at hone and no meds, bruh!!! Welcome to the Motherhood Sisterhood.
Blessings to you and your little family.
Pushing out a "papaya from my Maya". Your birth story is beautiful 🤎
I know this is a bit random but what's crazy is your hair is around the same length (possibly even longer) than when you did your big chop and started the whole shameless journey. Look at how you've grown and how your life has changed since then!! It's been a blessing to grow with you all these years Maya! 💛
I was thinking so too. Lol.
Congratulations 🎈🎈 I've watched you for some years now, and your videos would always brighten my days and challenge me to be just a little more shameless. I'm so very happy for you. 💞 Welcome to the mommy club X ❤️It's amazing!!!
Aww Maya that was a beautiful birth! 😢 So emotional. Congratulations to you both. You and your husband was fearless.🙌🙌🙌
This is so beautiful! Congratulations! I gave birth to my first two months ago. It really has been an amazing journey.
Can't stop crying, love this story, you are very beautiful. Tell Max that he is a good man. When my daughters were born, I could not stop crying. Much love..
You inspire me so much. I never know where my life is going but I look at you and know that not only is life ever changing, but full of surprises. Congratulations on not only your baby but your success in life❤️
Congratulations!! You are so strong and inspiring, airline your journey and sharing. God bless you and your new family ❣
It was “push a papaya out of my Maya” for me😂. Congratulations beautiful family. God bless you ❤️
Maya, congratulations honey! I've been watching you for a few years now and I feel like a proud auntie. Beautiful baby 👶🏾
Congratulations Maya!! I literally was sobbing at your home birth vlog! Your journey has been so inspiring from the beginning all the way til this moment! Thank you for always sharing with us💖
Omg. Thank you for sharing your beautiful story. Brought tears to my eyes
I have to leave multiple comments! I love this so much. And Maya, your practice labor counts! It happened to me too. The contractions were painful and didn't allow me to rest, it took 42hr for my baby to come, idk how many of those hours were considered "active labor", I only had one cervical check, per my request, and I was at 8-9, the babe came 5-6hr later.
I had my 1st baby at 34 years old and nothing went as planned🤣🤣🤣 She was due on Oct 16 2021 and she decided to bless us with her presents on July 22! She was born only weighing 2lbs and 10oz! But God is able! She is currently in the NICU but she getting bigger and stronger everyday!!! She's currently 5lbs 9 oz and I'm like who is this baby❤️❤️❤️ Word of advice for all the moms and future moms out there you can plan all you want but only God and the baby has the last say 🤣🤣🤣
Mya I love that you and Max shared y'all journey with the world❤️❤️❤️
