ORDINARY HABITS. EXTRAORDINARY LIFE.
"Ordinary Habits, Extraordinary Life" with Maria Bailey is about making ordinary life extraordinary, exploring the challenges of the daily grind and other life mysteries and ultimately offers inspiring and creative tools and techniques for building an abundant life.
Through reflections from Maria and lively conversations with masters in their field, we explore edgy topics and uncomfortable assumptions that reveal the unconscious drivers of our habitual patterns that hold us back from finding the richness in ordinary moments.
Using mind, heart and body perspectives she invites us to expand our views and access more of our untapped potential to live each ordinary moment into an extraordinary life.

GET TO KNOW MARIA BAILEY
Maria coaches her clients on a journey to clarity, discovery of larger purposes and creative action. Her coaching experience with executives and managers ranges from startups and non-profits to large multinational companies like Google, Facebook, Visa, WarnerMedia and Chevron.
Born in Venezuela and having traversed a globe-trotting career as a fashion model for over two decades, Maria Bailey's journey is anything but ordinary. Transitioning from the dynamic intensity of photoshoots to decades of silent meditation, her life is a testimony to the beauty of embracing change and seeking depth. Today, Maria stands at the convergence of seemingly disparate worlds: As an executive coach and a Zen priest, she combines the art of presence learned in front of the camera with the timeless wisdom of silent meditation.
Maria studied Graphic Design at the Instituto de Diseño de Caracas in Caracas, Venezuela, and Philosophy and Creative Writing at Miami Dade College.
She lives in Denver with her husband and two “bonus” teenage children. She publishes a monthly podcast and is an abstract artist. Her compulsions include meaningful rituals, time alone in nature, daily meditation, dancing tango with her husband and creative cooking.
