We had the good fortune of connecting with María Belén Ramírez Gallardo and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi María Belén, can you talk to us a bit about the social impact of your business?
My book With Love, María: Powerful Affirmations for Your Heart, Mind, and Soul was born from my faith and love for God. Through it, I share words of hope, healing, and encouragement to help others strengthen their hearts and minds. I believe God can transform lives through faith and positive words, and my mission is to spread light and love in the world.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
My work is all about inspiring hope, healing, and self-love through faith. With my book With Love, María: Powerful Affirmations for Your Heart, Mind, and Soul, I share words that encourage people to connect with God, themselves, and the positive power of their thoughts. As a content creator, social media is also a big part of my life — I share content that’s real, authentic, and created from a place of love.

Getting here wasn’t always easy. There were moments of doubt and challenges, but prayer, trust in God, and the support of loved ones kept me going. I’ve learned that perseverance, faith, and listening to the calling on your heart can carry you further than you ever imagined.

What I want the world to know about me and my brand is simple: I want to be a source of light and encouragement. My mission is to remind people that they are loved, capable, and guided by God, and that even small daily affirmations can transform your heart, mind, and soul.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If my best friend was visiting, I’d take them to my favorite cafés, hidden food gems, and local boutiques. We’d explore parks, cultural spots, and one day escape to nature — a quiet spot or my garden to meet my chickens. We would relax and reflect. The best part would be sharing laughs, making memories, and enjoying the beauty of the city and God’s creation together.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I first want to give all the glory to God — He’s been my guide every step of the way. I’m so grateful to my family and friends for their love, prayers, and encouragement. And of course, to every reader of With Love, María — you inspire me to keep sharing light.
