The interview
What does the Masterclass event mean to you?
The Masterclass event is for me... It's a given; it's something I have to do every year. I've been doing it since 2017. I believe it's my fifth one.
How has this program impacted your personal life?
It is something that changed my life personally. Through a pretty crappy situation from depression. I came here and found 25 people that actually changed my whole entire life and I have, kind of, been here since finding new groups of women every time, and it's been actually very life-changing for me.
What is your professional background and current role?
I am Maria Longo and I'm a chef and a manager. But mostly now, I am a facilitator for a program called Clarity Catalyst.
What is the community atmosphere like at the Masterclass?
The Masterclass community is very... accepting. I actually come from a kitchen background, which, you know, you are very accepting. But it's a little different. In my head, I anticipated a little more cliqueiness 'cause that's usually what health/ wellness is like. But actually it is the complete opposite. Everybody's so in-tuned with each other and nobody really cares what you do. They just want to know all about you.
Who would you recommend the Nutritious Life Masterclass to?
The Nutritious Life Masterclass would be for anybody seeking any kind of knowledge. It could be anybody that's just searching for something for themselves or willingness to help other people. To me, it's open to anyone.
