Meet Maria Williams
Hi, I’m Maria. I’m married to my favorite human, raising two amazing boys, and living proof that midlife is not a crisis. It’s a comeback! After nearly two decades of teaching, I traded in lesson plans for life lessons and discovered that writing my own book was the best kind of classroom.
I didn’t set out to become an “author.” What I did set out to do was stop shrinking myself to fit into society’s boxes. So, I wrote The Pretty Truth—part pep talk, part permission slip, and part confetti cannon aimed at society’s rule book.
I believe in bangs before Botox, rest before hustle, and coffee before almost everything else. I believe confidence is the real glow-up and that laugh lines are proof of a life well-lived. Most of all, I believe women don’t need fixing. We all need freedom to be who we want.
When I’m not writing or cheering on women like you, you can find me hanging with my husband, driving my boys everywhere, or sipping coffee like it’s my love language. If you’ve ever wanted a hype-girl bestie who tells it like it is (with a side of sarcasm), you’ve found her.
