"Freedom is everyone’s birthright."
Maria Khalife's remarkable journey into personal transformation began when she found the courage to end a long and abusive relationship that was holding her back in every aspect of her life. Rising from the depths of despair with just $20 in her pocket, Maria rebuilt her life by harnessing the hidden power within her past traumas. She went on to forge a successful career in TV, radio, publishing, education, personal development, and wellbeing.
Maria’s resilience and determination led her to create and host two hit TV shows, Soufra Daimeh and Supermom, with over 1,000 episodes aired to millions of viewers worldwide. Her influence extended to top-rated radio shows, widely-read magazines, popular blogs, and over 80 cookbooks that have sold more than one million copies globally. Through these endeavors, Maria emerged stronger and more influential than she ever imagined.
Despite enduring unimaginable scarcity and struggle, Maria's most profound realization was that true and lasting validation comes from within. This understanding inspired her to create The Lifestyle Design Institute, a place dedicated to helping others use their past experiences, traumas, and challenges to discover their mission, inspire others, and achieve their goals by tapping into their limitless potential.
Maria approaches every project with passion, vision, and purpose, incorporating practical and functional techniques into her teachings. She believes that teaching transformation requires living by the nature of the teachings. Her life exemplifies the positive effects of transformational experiences, serving as the foundation of her mission to help others live their best lives.
As a Certified Master Coach from the Ford Institute, Maria guides others to find their personal freedom and power through transformation. She teaches that freedom is a state of mind that enables transformation, bringing more health, wealth, success, and happiness. By working intensively with her beloved teacher, Debbie Ford, an internationally recognized author, coach, and teacher, Maria experienced an ultimate state of freedom. Now, her goal is to share this enlightenment with the world.
Maria’s transformational tools reveal how you can transform your life, start anew, and enjoy more freedom and joy. Whatever you are going through, this is a safe space. The more you trust and embrace the process, the more possibilities will open up for you. That is what happened for Maria, and that is what she wishes for everyone.
“A goal stretches you to achieve. It offers a great challenge to its creator.”
Even before she began her formal trainings, Maria continuously looked at capturing the lessons concealed inside every experience and explored ways to integrate the learnings almost immediately, as a means of growing and achieving success. Her early exposure to personal growth and mentoring naturally evolved into a deep passion for coaching, where she now helps others navigate their own transformative journeys.
Since her formal shadow work with Debbie Ford, Maria went on to develop her own approach to personal growth, Transformation Training. Through this, she uses her mentoring and coaching skills to empower individuals around the world to break free from limiting beliefs, embrace their potential, and achieve lasting success. She also created an institute to spread the knowledge and train others in these life-changing techniques.
Maria’s life purpose is transformation and the betterment of mankind. She believes that making a difference in one person’s life creates a ripple effect that can be maximized when it reaches as many people as possible, and in turn, makes a substantial difference in the world. Through both mentoring and coaching, Maria continues to guide individuals to discover their unique path to success and fulfillment.
