“Thank you so much for giving me a space to share my story. I appreciate your talent and time and magic. That was the most intimate and professional interview I have ever had. You are amazing.”

“Maria has an extraordinarily rare blend of activism and creativity. She thinks and sees outside the box and is always reaching for, and believing in, new possibilities.”

“Maria, I am so proud of the wonderful and important work that you are doing!”

“This was one of the most professional interviews I have ever participated in. I normally request a fact check before I agree to let my interviews go live but in this case, I don’t feel it is necessary because you are so knowledgable and comprehensive. Thank you.”

“Maria has an amazing talent of being able to change the way you think about everything. She teaches you to recognize your successes and train your brain to focus on the positives. This change alone makes such a huge difference in your life. Having Maria guide me to changing my mindset has been like opening a window and letting fresh air in to a closed up room. You definitely need to take this opportunity and let Maria help you help yourself.”

“I could have kept talking with you for another three hours. Thanks for giving me to opportunity to be on your podcast, Maria.”

“We loved having Maria Carola as a keynote speaker for our New Mothers Program. She is relatable, authentic and funny and our moms connected with her right away. You could hear the sigh of relief in the room as Maria guided the moms to say ‘I am enough’ over and over until there was not a dry eye or a mom left unhugged in the house!”

“Maria Carola is both an expert and an advocate. Her knowledge of the theories of motherhood, feminism, and intersectionality of gender, parenting, and society gives her the ability to engage on multiple critical levels. Maria weaves the lived experience of motherhood with advocacy and awareness of the need for ongoing dialogue and systemic change—even in the institutions of support dominating the space. She is fearless and graceful, wise and wickedly smart! Connecting with Maria is like plugging into the pulse of current paradigms and future directions for birthing persons and those that support them.”

“What a great collaboration. Thank you, Maria!”

“Maria has always done great things when her mind is set to it. To see how much Momma Mosaic has grown since Maria first started it is inspiring, just like her! ”

“Maria has a lovely, instinctive way of bringing people to see what they didn’t realize — an idea, a thought that is larger than what they are seeing or thinking. She sees around the corners and helps others do the same. She is an enlightened spirit who opens the minds of those lucky enough to be around her.”

“Maria is a voice and champion for moms. We love her and Momma Mosaic. She IS Momma Mosaic to us!”

“ I am so glad I invested in myself and my true calling with YOU. Thank you, Maria.”

“Maria is a very careful listener. She is able to take your input about yourself and present it back to you in a whole new light. She teaches you to get out of your own way, so to speak. In my first session I realized how important it is to have someone like Maria Carola to help. She is a well-needed addition to our daily lives.”

“I literally met Maria on a subway while I was reading The First Forty Days doing research for The Doula Diaries. She recognized the book, introduced herself and within moments I had no doubt she was destined to inspire and help moms.”

“ Maria, I met you once...and fell in love with your grit, spunk and determination. I’m so proud of your work! You are meant to help others.”
