Thought To Thing
Thought to Thing is a live experiment in turning ideas into reality—before we feel ready, before it’s perfect, before the mind catches up. It’s an invitation to dissolve perfectionism, move through fear, and jump into YOUR wave of momentum.
Expect deep, expansive conversations with visionaries who’ve turned their wildest thoughts into tangible things, plus my own raw, unfiltered journey of doing the same.
I’m Maia, your host, and in this first season, I'll be sharing all my practical, embodied experience of expanding your capacity to hold more—so you can call in more while doing less. Because we don’t manifest what we want; we manifest what we can hold. This podcast is about strengthening that capacity—so that instead of asking how can I get more?, you start asking how can I hold more?
At its core, this podcast exists to make you feel fully, wildly alive—ready to squeeze every drop out of life. For my full-juice visionaries, this is where we bend the limits of possibility.

HOUSEHOLD: The Great Unknown (with Tom)
A spicy one. In this episode, we dive into the Unknown and explore the art of releasing control so that life can actually meet you. And for this conversation, I brought in the personification of the unknown himself—Tom, my partner—who’s lived a life of radical trust, jumping into the unknown over and over again. We talk about intuition, navigating uncertainty, and what it really takes to expand beyond what you thought was possible.
Three years ago, I packed my entire life into a backpack and flew to Nepal, answering a call that made zero sense on paper—but my gut knew better. It was the most terrifying and liberating decision I’d ever made. And now, full circle, I’m back in Nepal, standing in the aftermath of that choice, realizing just how much life doubles down when you stop gripping so hard to the plan you think you want.
IN TODAY’S EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:
🧩 Why gripping onto your plan is actually blocking the one meant for you
🧩 Tom’s experience trusting the unknown and making decisions based on pull, not fear
🧩 What intuition actually is (and no, it’s not just “signs”)
🧩 How we get stuck in outdated visions of ourselves—and how to break free
🧩 The Hero’s Journey, The Call to Adventure, and why most people resist it
🧩 “The Threshold” and why fear always meets the edge of desire
🧩 What happens when you stop controlling and start receiving
🧩 “The only way out is through the fire”—why big manifestations come with big initiations
This one is deep.
