Maria Shapley blends creativity, wellness, and purpose, inspiring conscious living through Figaro & Co. and her podcast.
The Visionary Behind Figaro & Co.
Entrepreneur and creative visionary Maria Shapley is redefining modern wellness by blending innovative, plant-based solutions with emotional healing practices and a grounded connection to something far greater than ourselves. As the founder of Figaro & Co., Maria has built a luxury wellness brand that is rooted in the heart-opening power of Kanna — a potent plant known for its calming effects. Through this, she has created a line of products designed to help individuals feel more calm, emotionally connected, and spiritually aligned. Her vision goes beyond wellness as we traditionally understand it, embracing both physical and spiritual elements in a holistic approach to well-being.
For Maria, wellness is about more than just physical health; it’s deeply intertwined with one’s emotional and spiritual connection to God. “When you feel connected to God, everything in your life becomes clearer,” she shares. “You make better choices, you treat people better, and you live with more purpose.” This belief in the importance of spiritual alignment and purpose is at the heart of her work, and it serves as the foundation of her entrepreneurial journey.
From Creativity to Conscious Entrepreneurship
Maria Shapley’s background in health, wellness, and business has equipped her with a unique perspective on entrepreneurship. For her, the act of creating a business is not just about profitability, but about aligning one’s vision with a higher sense of purpose. Entrepreneurship is, in her view, a sacred partnership — a dance between vision, alignment, and contribution. It’s about using one’s creativity to serve a greater good and making a lasting impact on the world.
Her work is powered by a deep-rooted belief that every individual is here to create something meaningful and to serve others through their gifts. “I believe the real legacy we leave is how we make people feel. If my work, my products, or even a conversation helps someone open their heart or remember who they are, that’s the impact I want to make,” Maria says. This deep sense of purpose is evident in everything she does, whether it’s building her brand, creating new wellness products, or engaging in thoughtful conversations with other creatives and entrepreneurs.
At the core of Maria’s philosophy lies a three-step framework that she lives by. This framework has served as a blueprint for her not only in her entrepreneurial journey but also in her personal growth and creative endeavors:
- Become awakened.
The first step in Maria’s approach to creation is awakening to who you truly are and the incredible power that resides within you. When you become fully awake, you gain clarity about your potential and the courage to step into your greatness. - Become aware of what God is calling on your heart.
The second step is to become aware of the quiet, divine calling that speaks to your heart. Maria believes that our true calling is not a coincidence; it is placed within us for a reason. - Step out into the areas others refuse to go.
Expansion requires boldness, you must be willing to take risks and venture into areas where others may hesitate. “When you step out, you step in,” she says. This mindset is what empowers her to push the boundaries of her business, creativity, and personal growth.
This three-step framework guides Maria in everything she does — from building her wellness brand to launching new artistic and entrepreneurial ventures. It’s a rhythm that allows her to stay aligned with her deepest intentions and continue to serve others in a meaningful way.
The Power of Conversation: The OnVibe Podcast
In addition to her work with Figaro & Co., Maria is also the creator and host of the OnVibe Podcast. Filmed at Studio Place in Brentwood, CA, the podcast explores themes of mindset, resilience, inner guidance, and the inspiration behind successful creatives, entrepreneurs, and visionaries. Through deep and intentional conversation, Maria uncovers how these leaders stay grounded, aligned, and guided in their own work — often revealing the very awakenings and callings that shaped their unique paths. The podcast provides a platform for listeners to gain insight into how others navigate their own spiritual and entrepreneurial journeys, offering a wealth of knowledge and inspiration.
The Artist Within
Maria’s creative expression doesn’t end with wellness and entrepreneurship. As an actress, she brings depth, vulnerability, and authenticity to her performances. With a strong body of work that includes credits in projects such as Amityville Apt., Transmission, and Can You Leave Us Alone?, Maria has spent over a decade honing her craft in New York and Los Angeles. Acting remains one of her purest forms of creative expression, allowing her to deeply impact audiences and connect with them on an emotional level. This creative pursuit is another way she embodies her philosophy — using her art to inspire others, shift perspectives, and provoke thought.
Living On Purpose
Across all areas of her life — from wellness and business to creativity and coaching — Maria Shapley leads with intention, belief, and a deep connection to her heart. Her mission is rooted in contribution: helping others feel better, live more consciously, and step boldly into the life they are meant to create. Whether through her wellness products, podcast, or acting career, she is dedicated to guiding others toward living authentically and embracing the fullness of their potential. Maria shares “I am a God made and God inspired woman. I am his vessel to help transform his people”.
Her guiding message is clear and simple, yet powerful:
Awaken. Listen. Step forward. When you step out, you step in.
