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.

Creative Living Principles (part I)
This week I’m joined by my favorite person again (Lois) for a very special conversation on the Creative Living Principles!!!!
We had way too much fun recording this episode (delirious nap-drunk and caffeinated as always), and ended up covering the first six principles from our list of 21 Creative Living Principles:
- Your voice isn’t fragile. Don’t treat it like glass.
- Art needs to be honest, not beautiful.
- You don’t find your voice, you remember it.
- Perfection is a cage. Mess is where the magic lives.
- Protect your mornings (or at least one part of your day) that belongs to no one else.
- Let it be shit before anything else.
We talk about surfing wipeouts, learning languages badly, humiliating ourselves publicly, and why all of it is essential to making real art. We also go deep on what it means to put banks to the river of creativity—and why messiness is not just inevitable, but fertile ground.
At the end, we share this episode’s workbook exercise from Creative Living: How to Write a Bad Poem. This one is about letting yourself be bad, letting go of perfection, and finding truth in the process.
If you want the worksheet for today’s episode (and last week’s too), DM us “After Hours” on Instagram and we’ll send it to you.
GUYS WE ARE GETTING VERY CLOSE TO LAUNCHING CREATIVE LIVING BTW!!!! Stay so tuned ♡
