Maria Riegger
Corporate attorney based in the Washington, DC area. She is a best-selling author, speaker, astrologer, and trauma-informed parenting expert.
Maria’s rocky childhood became the impetus for her self-improvement. Maria's father died unexpectedly when she was eleven. Maria was then raised by a single parent who was a narcissistic abuser. Maria learned how to be a better parent, which involved working on herself rather than controlling her child. She found that the key to a healthy parent-child relationship centers on more laughs and positive connections and less dictating and criticizing.
In helping adults to reparent themselves, Maria discovered a great deal of crossover with themes of procrastination, people pleasing, and defensiveness, which held individuals back from achieving professional success. She speaks on these topics to help professionals not only improve their parenting, but also prevent burnout and achieve their long-term goals.
