For most of her life, Moraya believed happiness was something she had to earn, something waiting on the other side of healing, fixing, or becoming “better.” In this episode of The MP Podcast, she opens up about a powerful realization: happiness was never unavailable to her… it was a choice she wasn’t allowing herself to make.

As 2025 begins, Moraya shares why choosing happiness is now her main goal, how perfectionism and self-work kept her stuck in a constant state of “not yet,” and what it looks like to finally let joy be an option, even while still growing. This episode is for anyone who’s been doing the work but forgot they’re allowed to feel good too.
