The Eight Pillars Podcast

Achieve Your Wildest Creative Dreams, Going Slow and Resting Often - Maria Colalancia of The Aperitivo Society & Shop

Kate Bilodeau

In this episode, I sit down with Maria, the owner of Aperitivo The Shop in Boston's North End and founder of The Aperitivo Society. We dive into her inspiring journey, from balancing a 9-5, running her own shop, and hosting unforgettable dinner parties, to ultimately reaching a breaking point. A few months ago, Maria realized the toll it was taking on her mind and body to juggle it all, and she made the leap to become a full-time business owner. We talk about what that transition has looked like, the boundaries she’s had to set, and the daily practices she’s embraced to avoid burnout, especially as someone who struggles to slow down. I know you’re all going to LOVE Maria and her story! Enjoy xxx
