ASK Maria: Why Do I Do That?

### ASK Maria: Why Do I Do That?

Why do I keep doing this?
Why do I react this way?
Why do I know what I should do — but still don’t do it?

ASK Maria is a live, interactive session where your questions shape the conversation.

Bring your questions about human behaviour, relationships, emotions, confidence, communication, limiting beliefs, habits, fear, or the patterns you recognise in yourself but don’t always understand.

Each session begins with a short teaching from Maria Fenton Smith, followed by live Q&A and conversation around the questions submitted by attendees.

The goal is simple: to help you better understand what may be driving your behaviour and give you practical insights you can take away and think about — without sitting through hours of training.

You don’t need to have a question to join. You’re equally welcome to listen, learn from the discussion and see what resonates with you.

### WHAT TO EXPECT

You can submit a question in advance or through the chat during the session. Questions may also be submitted anonymously. Maria will select questions that are appropriate for the session and helpful to the wider group.

Submitting a question does not guarantee it will be answered.

### OUR EVENT GUIDLINES

To keep ASK Maria safe, respectful and enjoyable for everyone:

• Participants will be muted on entry and invited to speak when appropriate.
• Please treat Maria and other attendees with kindness and respect.
• Abusive, discriminatory, sexually inappropriate, personally attacking, or deliberately disruptive behaviour will result in immediate removal from the event.
• Please respect the privacy of other attendees and do not share personal information or stories discussed by others outside the session.
• Maria reserves the right to decline or stop any question or discussion that is inappropriate, overly personal or outside the scope of the event.

Important: ASK Maria is an educational personal-development event. It is not individual therapy, medical or mental-health advice, diagnosis or crisis support. General information shared during the session should not be considered a substitute for appropriate professional support.

Come with a question. Come to listen. Or simply come because you’re curious about why we think, feel and behave the way we do.
