The Goddess Lab
Welcome to The Goddess Lab Podcast — where women come to reclaim their confidence, rewrite their stories, and rise into their most empowered selves. Hosted by Maria Arellano the woman behind the transformative boudoir experience at The Goddess Lab out of Houston, Texas, this show dives deep into real conversations with women who inspire us — from wellness experts and coaches to everyday goddesses who’ve overcome, evolved, and redefined what it means to thrive.
Each episode blends honest lifestyle talk, beauty and health insights, and the behind-the-scenes magic of how photoshoots can become a radical act of self-love. If you’re ready to show up, feel seen, and celebrate every version of yourself… you’re in the right place.
This isn’t just a podcast. It’s a mirror. A movement. A moment to remember who the hell you are.

AI, Abs, and Ladder: Meet the Woman Behind Team Ascend— Coach Aria Vince
Welcome to the very first episode of The Goddess Lab where we talk to real life goddesses who are out there inspiring other women and building a better community. In todays episode we are talking with Coach Aria about building muscle, confidence, and a life they love.
Aria leads Team Ascend on the Ladder App, we’re diving into her journey—from her first client to her signature powerglass programming that has the internet accusing her of being part-machine (or having a BBL). We talk strength training myths, how to stay motivated, how to get actually strong without burning yourself out, and why so many of us are choosing to build strong muscles instead of getting smaller bodies.
Plus, Aria answers the real questions: how short is too short for rest? What’s the perfect burner finisher? And how do you unlock her programing?
This is equal parts education, inspiration, and unfiltered fun—and a perfect kickoff to your strength era.
