Tub Tales Live : UnscriptedUnfilteredUnforgettable

Two Queens, One Tub

Diane and Maria are living proof that life doesn’t get smaller as we get older—it gets bigger. More expansive. More audacious. Tub Tales Live isn’t just a show; it’s a movement. Showing people—especially women—that they don’t have to shrink or quiet down just because they’re past some imaginary societal “prime.” Proving that confidence, sensuality, humor, wisdom, and boldness don’t have an expiration date.

A glimpse into just one episode is a masterclass in emotional sovereignty—how to stop betraying yourself, trust your intuition, and give only the f*cks that matter. Maria and Diane blend wisdom, humor, and raw truth to break down the psychology of self-reinvention.

(Formerly known as Maria Whalen—stepping into my true name, my true mission, and a limitless future.)

🔥 THE ORIGIN STORY: EARLY LIFE & ENTREPRENEURIAL GRIT
•    Moved out at 15½ – Had to hustle to survive. Dropped out of high school, worked full-time, and never looked back.
•    Bought my first house at 20 – Paid for it myself through sheer work ethic. No handouts.
•    Got married at 20 – But even then, I was the primary builder of my life.
•    Put my ex-husband through college – Didn’t believe in myself at the time. Ironically, later passed him in ranking in corporate America despite not having a degree.
•    Worked at the world’s largest computer distributor during the tech boom – Got into positions I had no business being in just by outworking and outsmarting people.
•    Tech crash (~2000) – Pivoted like a true entrepreneur.

👩‍🍳 FROM TECH TO FOOD: THE FIRST BUSINESS SUCCESS
•    Started one of the first personal chef businesses in California – Ahead of the trend. Built it from scratch.
•    Ran a successful personal chef business for years – High-end clientele, deep understanding of food, nutrition, and business.
•    Sold the business when I got pregnant – Planned to be a stay-at-home mom.

🛑 ROCK BOTTOM: HEALTH CRISIS, DIVORCE, & REBUILDING FROM NOTHING
•    Had three “incurable” rare autoimmune diseases – My body was breaking down over 15 years.
•    Healed myself completely – Defied every doctor’s prognosis.
•    Got pregnant naturally despite being told I never could – Proved the experts wrong again.
•    Divorced when my daughter was 18 months old – Had no family, no support, and an ex who actively tried to make me homeless.
•    Went back to school – Enrolled in an intense pre-med program covering both Western & alternative medicine.

⚡ THE HEALTH DISRUPTOR ERA: CREATING THE INVINCIBLE WELLNESS SYSTEM
•    Became the go-to health expert for people who had “tried everything” – Even big-name health gurus came to me privately.
•    Created the Invincible Wellness System (IWS) – A method that made me 100% self-sufficient in my health. Never needed a doctor or practitioner again.
•    Built a private word-of-mouth practice – No marketing, just results so undeniable that clients sent everyone they knew.
•    Spoke on stages around the world – Teaching people how to reclaim their health, their bodies, and their autonomy.
•    Co-authored a bestselling book – Won awards. My daughter and I became bestselling authors together.
•    Trained by one of the best in personal development – A man who was rivaling Tony Robbins before Tony was even famous.

💔 A PIVOTAL MOMENT: LOSING MY MOM & A SPIRITUAL AWAKENING
•    Seven years ago, my mom died in my arms – It wasn’t an illness; it was a conscious departure.
•    She gave me one of the greatest gifts – A deeper understanding of life, death, and the unseen world.
•    One month later, I was pregnant with my second daughter. – She’s not just my daughter, she’s my mother reincarnated.

💥 THE MEDIA POWER MOVE: ENTERING THE PUBLIC EYE
•    Launching multiple media ventures:
•    Maria Approved – A trust-based media platform that cuts through the BS in products, people, and information.
•    Tub Tales Live – Sophisticated, raw, and hilarious conversations with my best friend.
•    Fork Play – A disruptive food and lifestyle show that mixes education, pleasure, and no-nonsense honesty.
•    Why I’m walking away from my lucrative health business:
•    Because the industry is filled with frauds.
•    Because I’m sick of the fake experts.
•    Because my mission is bigger.
•    Because people need someone they can actually trust in a world where “authenticity” is now a marketing gimmick.

🌟 WHY I’M STEPPING INTO MY TRUE NAME: MARIA MORMINO
•    For years, I was known as Maria Whalen – It was my ex-husband’s last name.
•    I mostly kept it because I wanted to have the same last name as my first daughter.
•    Now, I’m reclaiming my identity as Maria Mormino—because it was always mine.
•    It’s my mother’s maiden name.
•    It’s my second daughter’s last name.
•    It represents my past, my bloodline, and my future.
•    I grew up as Maria Mormino—because my mom’s name was also Maria.
•    Now, I carry her full name—Maria Mormino—her bloodline, her spirit, and her strength.

💪 WHY I’M BUILT DIFFERENT: THE GRIT FACTOR
•    Grew up in the Arizona desert – Riding motorcycles and shooting shotguns.
•    Competitive boxer – Yes, really. I’ve had people underestimate me before. It doesn’t end well for them.
•    Stepped back into my fighter mentality to heal myself – Because the mindset that wins fights is the same one that beats disease.
•    I don’t just talk about resilience—I’ve lived it.

Maria Mormino is not your typical entrepreneur. A single mom, a self-made businesswoman, and a fearless truth-teller, she built her empire from the ground up—out of sheer grit, unshakable integrity, and an unrelenting fighter’s spirit.

After walking away from a broken marriage and healing herself from three so-called “incurable” autoimmune diseases, Maria didn’t just reclaim her health—she cracked the code on wellness itself. She created the Invincible Wellness System (IWS), a groundbreaking approach that made her 100% self-sufficient in her own health. While other so-called “experts” built empires off marketing gimmicks, she quietly became the one they came to in private when they needed real answers.

But Maria isn’t just a health disruptor—she’s a fighter.
Literally.
She grew up riding motorcycles in the Arizona desert, was a competitive boxer, and has the kind of Sicilian backbone that doesn’t bend for anything or anyone.

Now, after spending years working behind the scenes with elite performers, Maria is stepping into the public eye with Maria Approved—a disruptive media platform that finally brings trust, integrity, and discernment to the world of products, people, and influence.

Unbribable. Unstoppable. And absolutely unwilling to play by the old rules.

Maria Mormino isn’t just here to make waves – she’s here to change the game
