Maria
Whitworth is a *spark* that ignites the
self-reliant, can-do spirit in everyone
she connects with. A writer, speaker, marketing
innovator, graphic designer and unjobbing
coach, her motto is to “question everything
and discover your own way.” Maria
first became inspired by the law of attraction
in 1977 while devouring books written in
the ‘30s –‘50s, which
opened her life to even more exciting, self-empowering
concepts.
She
home-birthed her 3 children in the early ‘80s,
became a natural learning advocate before
the word unschooling was even thought of,
and has been confidently doing things long
before they were "cool" her entire
life. She and her husband Devin live in Dallas,
Texas, and have been successfully married
while successfully unemployed for over 30
years. They freely give away lots of valuable
tips and practical strategies for living well
doing what you love through their popular
Unjobbing Meetup® group at www.unjobbing.com,
and her ebook “Your Practical, Unjobbing
Handbook – The Unconventional Guide
to Making Money Doing What You Love”
is becoming the standard primer for the growing
unjobbing movement.She mostly stayed out of
the way of her bright and spirited unschooled
daughters, who each continue to stamp their
uniquely creative and inspired brand in their
own spheres of influence. Maria's radical
insights on empowered parenting and "say
YES!" approach to life are dominant themes
in her workshops, and she is currently writing
her how-to parenting manual for raising joyful,
self-determined, free-thinking kids in our
cookie-cutter, co-dependent world.
