Positive Intelligence Pod · Fall 2026 · On Zoom

Open the door you keep closing.

An 8-week small-group coaching pod for anyone ready to face the closet, the basement or the storage unit they've been avoiding, and to let go with a clear head instead of a heavy heart.

The fall season of Mastering Self and the Art of Living, a seasonal pod series with Mayra

Does this sound like you?

There's a place in your home you don't look at. A closet. A basement. A storage unit you pay for every month.

What's inside matters. Some of it is worth money. Some of it is worth more than money, because it belonged to someone you loved.

You know what needs to happen. It's been on your list more times than you can count. Then you open the door, feel your chest tighten, and close it again.

And a voice starts in:

You should have dealt with this years ago. What is wrong with you?

You think about the space
The feelings rush in
You put it off again
You blame yourself
The pile stays, and gets heavier

Round and round, for months or years.

What if this fall went differently?

You open the door and stay in the room.
You hold something that belonged to someone you love and decide, calmly, whether it stays.
You pass on what deserves passing on, to people who will use it and love it.
You walk by that door without your stomach dropping.
You begin releasing the extra weight your body has held onto through grief and stress.
The voice that called you lazy loses its grip, because you finally know what it is.

Willpower was never the problem.

You aren't lazy, and you aren't a hoarder. You care about these things. That's exactly why they're so hard to touch.

Every item holds a feeling. Grief. Guilt. Shame. The life you thought you'd have. The person who isn't here anymore. When you reach for the box, you reach for all of that too.

Then the Judge shows up. In Positive Intelligence, the Judge is the inner critic that finds fault with you, with other people and with how things turned out. It rarely works alone:

The Judge"You should have done this years ago."

The Victim"This is too hard. Nobody understands what this stuff means to me."

The Pleaser"I can't get rid of something they gave me. What would they think?"

The Controller"If I can't do it all, perfectly, in one weekend, why start?"

No wonder the door stays shut. You've been trying to clear a room while four voices argue inside you.

I've lived this twice.

In October 2012, Superstorm Sandy flooded my garage on Staten Island. The water washed away things I had held onto for years, before I understood the pattern in myself.

The book Healthy, Abundant and Wise — I wrote about Sandy and what it taught me in "The Mystery of Transformation," my story in the Amazon bestselling anthology *Healthy, Abundant & Wise*.

In 2024, my mother died, and I had to clear her apartment fast. I filled black garbage bags with her things. While she was dying, I also gained 15 pounds, and I've been working on letting go of that weight too.

Two years later, I'm still working through those bags, thinning them out a little at a time. My goal is to have them empty by the end of this year. That's why I'm inviting you to join me in clearing space in your life for a new, lighter you.

I won't stand in front of you as someone who has this all figured out. I'm walking this road too, with the tools that keep me walking: Faith, Positive Intelligence, Traditional Chinese Medicine and the Qigong training I've practiced since 2007.

Why fall?

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, fall belongs to the Metal element. It's the season of release. Trees drop their leaves so they can make it through winter and grow again in spring.

The five element theory behind Traditional Chinese Medicine states that this is the natural time of year when all of nature is letting go. So we'll use the energy of the season to support our efforts.

Clutter comes in more than one form. Extra weight we pick up during a hard season is a burden too, and this is a season to set it down.

How the pod works

Positive Intelligence is a mental fitness program. It helps you spot the inner voices that work against you, which it calls Saboteurs, and strengthen the wiser, steadier part of you, which it calls the Sage. No background needed. I'll explain everything in plain English.

Once a week, for one hour, we meet live on Zoom. Together, we choose our weekly day and time as a group. Each time we:

Talk through letting goWhat came up this week, said out loud to people who get it.

Share strategiesWhat helps when a Saboteur gets loud and tries to stop you.

Celebrate winsOne box, one shelf, one honest conversation. It all counts.

What clients say about working with Mayra

"When I joined the emotional intelligence program, I learned how to turn my sabotages into sages. It's been a process and I'm still not where I want to be but Mayra keeps reinforcing to focus on my wins and that the little steps taken to move forward is better than no steps at all."

Carma A.

"Her ability to create a safe space allows me to share more easily my vulnerable authentic self. I really appreciate her reminding me to celebrate the small things that we so easily like to discredit."

Simone A., Business Owner

"She is gifted with the ability to listen carefully and empowered me to make simple adjustments that led to big improvements. I worked with Coach Mayra once a week for two months and looked forward to every session."

James D.

"After taking the Qigong Dragons Way class with Mayra, I was interested to work with her one-on-one for coaching. At the time I was feeling overwhelmed with new projects I had taken on. I felt stuck… After working with Mayra, I now have an overwhelming feeling of balance and calm."

Eileen S.

"I've recently started working with Mayra and already have experienced powerful AHA's & deep insights. Mayra is an incredible listener, a gift that enables her to hear not only what you are saying, but also the passion & truth behind it. Coaching with Mayra and the results I'm receiving are gifts I give myself."

This is for you if

You have a space full of things that matter, and you've avoided it for months or years.
You're tired of the voice that scolds you every time you walk past it.
You want company on this road, not a lecture.
You can show up live on Zoom for one hour a week this fall, starting with our kickoff on Sunday, October 4.

This is not for you if

You want someone to come clear the space for you. This is coaching, not a clean-out service.
You're in the middle of a crisis right now. Start with my free W.A.R. Reset Tactical Guide instead.
You need treatment for hoarding. A licensed therapist is the right first step.

Questions

Do I have to clear out my whole space during the 8 weeks?

No. You set the pace. Some people clear a closet. Some open one box they've avoided for ten years. Both count, and we celebrate both.

I've never heard of Positive Intelligence. Is that a problem?

Not at all. Week one is an overview and Q&A, and I'll help you download the app. Every idea gets explained in plain English.

When do we meet?

Week 1 is our live kickoff on Sunday, October 4, at 3 pm ET. The Positive Intelligence program starts in Week 2, once your app fully opens on October 10. From then on, together, we choose our weekly day and time as a group, so it works for everyone.

Are the sessions recorded?

No. Our sessions are intimate, and people share tender things. We meet live, and nothing is recorded by default. If the whole group ever wants that to change, we'll decide together.

How much time does it take each week?

One hour on Zoom with the pod, plus short daily practice in the app whenever it fits your day.

Do I need to know anything about Traditional Chinese Medicine or qigong?

No. I'll teach you the Letting Go Gate step by step, in everyday language. You bring yourself, and I'll bring the rest.

What happens on the free call?

We talk about your space, what has kept you stuck and whether the pod is a good fit. If it is, we'll go over investment and payment options together. Either way, you'll receive a free Saboteur Assessment after the call, so you can see which inner voices get loudest for you.

What happens after the 8 weeks?

Personal growth goes in cycles and deepens over time, the same way the seasons return each year. You'll have the option to keep the Positive Intelligence app for a full year, for an added fee, so your daily practice can continue. And the door stays open: alumni are welcome to join a future season at a Returning Alumni Special Rate, and each time the work goes deeper.

What if I can't join this fall?

The Letting Go Pod is the fall season of Mastering Self and the Art of Living. The next pod in the series runs this winter. Book a free call anyway, and I'll make sure you're first to hear when the winter pod opens.

Why only 10 people?

Because this work is tender. A small group means everyone gets heard, and everyone gets to know each other well enough to cheer each other on.

Let this be the fall you open the door.

Book a free Letting Go call with me. We'll talk about your space and see if the pod is right for you.

🎁 Every call includes a free Saboteur Assessment afterward.

10 seats. Live kickoff on Zoom, Sunday, October 4, at 3 pm ET.
