💔 My Story – From Silent Pain to Healing Leadership 🌀
💔 De un dolor silencioso al liderazgo de sanación – Mi historia 🌀
✨ The Moment of Realization October 29, 2024. A day forever etched in my soul. The sirens wailed, a tsunami swept through the land and took thousands of lives. More than 150,000 people lost their homes, their businesses… their future.
Among them, a woman with the same name as me – Maria Pardo – lost her two children, Ruben and Izan, aged 3 and 5.
When I heard that… something broke inside of me.
I felt empty, numb… and I sent that news to my own children. Hoping for connection. But there was no response.
In that silence, I realized: I had lost everything that truly mattered.
I was 50. A single mother. Owner of a beauty clinic I had run for over 25 years with heart and soul. Always busy with clients, long days, no vacations. Yes, I had a good income… but no real social life. Even my children – my everything – had cut off contact.
I looked in the mirror and asked myself: "Is this what's left of me?"
🔥 The Pain Became a Wake-Up Call The greatest pain wasn't the burnout or the workload. It was the loss of connection.
I was there physically… but never truly present. Everything was about surviving. And in that survival, I had lost myself and my children.
At that lowest point I decided: Something had to change.
✨ An Unexpected Door Opened I had no experience with social media. I still advertised in the local paper and didn’t even know how Amazon worked.
But I had once taken a marketing course, and I decided: I need to reinvent myself.
For years I invested in courses. Expensive. Intensive. But I didn’t have the energy to implement everything on my own. Until I found Nowsite and entered a warm international community – and started enjoying learning, sharing, and creating.
And then one video by Michelle crossed my path. One spark. One moment of recognition.
I thought: "Maybe there is a way back. Maybe I can do this too… and help others. Especially women like me."
🔑 The Decision I decided to take back my life. Not just professionally, but also emotionally and spiritually.
I began working on healing with my mother, who was bipolar. Why was she like that? What lay beneath?
And I found out about my grandmother, who lost her second child when my mother was a toddler. And as we now know – thanks to experts like Bessel van der Kolk, Gabor Maté, and Peter Levine – such traumas are passed on for generations.
What you experience in the first years of life shapes your entire system. But often, you don’t even realize it.
I started exploring those patterns – through breathwork, meditation, and trauma healing.
For ten years I worked intensively on myself. What began as survival slowly turned into healing… and vision.
🌈 The Breakthrough To my great surprise, my first client was a doctor: Dr. Cedone Whatts, a holistic physician who also joined the Beauty Beyond Skin community.
Together we are now building a platform where healing, awareness, and connection are central – for women like you and me.
Women who gave everything but lost themselves along the way.
💖 My Message for You If you feel like you're at your limit… If you're standing at a crossroads… If you're longing for peace, connection, and purpose…
Then I say: Take the chance.
Not just for yourself, but also for your children, your clients, and the generations to come. Because healing doesn’t stop with you – it moves both backward and forward.
I’m just getting started. But I know: "This is only the beginning."

📩 VERSIÓN EN ESPAÑOL
De un dolor silencioso al liderazgo de sanación – Mi historia
Querida hermana,
El 29 de octubre de 2024 quedó grabado en mi alma.Un tsunami golpeó la tierra. Las sirenas sonaban. Más de 150.000 personas perdieron sus casas, negocios… su futuro.
Entre ellas, una mujer con el mismo nombre que yo – Maria Pardo – perdió a sus dos hijos, Rubén e Izan, de 3 y 5 años.
Cuando escuché eso… algo se rompió dentro de mí.
Envié esa noticia a mis propios hijos, buscando conexión. Pero no respondieron.
En ese silencio sentí: Había perdido todo lo que realmente importa.
Tenía 50 años. Madre soltera. Dueña de una clínica de estética por más de 25 años. Siempre trabajando, sin vacaciones. Ingresos estables, sí – pero sin vida social. Y lo peor: mis hijos habían cortado todo contacto.
Me miré al espejo y me pregunté: "¿Esto es todo lo que queda de mí?"
💔 Ese fue mi momento de despertar.
No era solo agotamiento. Era desconexión.
De mi cuerpo, de mi verdad, de mis seres queridos.
Decidí cambiar.
Aunque no sabía nada de redes sociales, me lancé a aprender. Entré en una comunidad internacional que me recibió con amor. Y comencé a sanar.
Un día, un video de Michelle encendió una chispa dentro de mí. Una voz me susurró: "Tal vez pueda reconstruirme… y ayudar a otras mujeres a hacer lo mismo."
Dije SÍ a mí misma. Estudié respiración, sanación de traumas y heridas generacionales.
Descubrí que mi abuela perdió un hijo, y ese dolor vivía en mi madre – y en mí.
Me tomó 10 años comprender cómo el trauma moldea nuestra vida –pero también cómo podemos romper el ciclo.
✨ Y hoy sé: Esta es mi misión.
¿Mi primera clienta? Una doctora holística. Hoy construimos juntas un espacio seguro – la Beauty Beyond Skin Community. Para mujeres que lo dieron todo… y están listas para recuperarse a sí mismas.
Si estás en un cruce de caminos...Si te sientes cansada, desconectada, o simplemente vacía...

No estás sola. Y no tienes que hacerlo sola.
