- Living in Lake Atitlan, Guatemala | What it’s like Giving Birth Here. So far we have been enjoying every moment on our trip, but this chapter has been the most special so far. We were invited to visit CASA MATERNA, a birthing clinic for local Mayan women, to document and share what community and empowerment looks like: www.havafoundation.org/

“It’s really about doing life with community and helping others while being inspired.” - Maya 2023 👑💪🏽
Eloquently said
So beautiful to see families that loves each other and actually enjoys being in each others company.
We were really inspired by how close the families are and how divorce does not exist 🤯🤯🤯
You two really got into your documentary filmmaking bag on this video. I LOVE it. The way you’ve captured these women and your life is so beautiful! ❤
Yes! Such beautiful shots. If the bts is this good I’m so excited for the doc 😃
I love how your opportunities are so abundant and true to your personal brand. You guys live so down to earth in sweden and throughout your travels. And then your traveling with your daughter having authentic grounded journalistic experiences. GOALS even tho im sure its not easy.

“Having experiences like this ground me to what’s important, outside of the world of what’s trending.” - Maya 2023 🤯🙌🏽 Yes Maya!! The world is so much more grand than the curated IG post. The values that really allows communities to not only survive, but thrive.
I can't get over that clip of saga sticking her head out the window in the intro. I smile so hard every time. Just the purest childhood joy 😊
You guys are official videographers! The content lately is just tooo good! ❤️
This is important work that you both are doing, while also having fun and exploring the world.
I love seeing how you guys are growing as a couple, as a family, and as artists who produce documentaries that are top notch. TV is lacking in good content these days and I'd rather watch your documentaries. Seeing inside the house where they live and work was truly amazing! You work so well together and I can't wait to see what's next!
❤Wow!! Max, Maya and Saga! You all make this adventure look 👀 easy!
It’s so not but it’s definitely a lot of adventure 😂
Maya & Max, going to Casa Materna, helping other women was so refreshing to see! Helping others, while not putting ourselves 1st is such a kind act ! I love & wish I could see more vlogs like this! Blessed Sunday!
Your videos make me so happy! I love that you have made a community in almost every stop of your adventure. The food and culture look so amazing. Thank you for sharing with us. Watching Saga enjoy herself is always a bonus. ☺
I love that you all are traveling and living life to the fullest with a baby! Moments and memories you all will cherish forever! So inspiring
👍I appreciate you guys and your loving caring giving spirits. 🙏💝
🤔Based on my own visits throughout South America, including Guatemala - where you guys are visiting - those people who live in the outer remote areas away from the larger city areas have abuelas/grandmothers of the area that help the younger people deliver their babies and teach them the old ways…the way to do things….are you guys telling me that those indigenous people don’t have that…..anymore??? The indigenous people of the area have been delivering babies long before those maternity centers/hospitals ever existed. If you’re saying that the indigenous people who live there in the remote areas “ need” those resources because the abuelas/older women & grandmothers are no longer there or no longer able to deliver babies then that’s something that needs to be discussed because I’m shocked. 😩😭💝
Mya and Max this is the true essence of life! I just adore your hearts, tuning in weekly and feel so privileged to take in some of your experiences. My heart is truly warmed by the souls you've been able to meet. Thank you for sharing with us, this has been such an immersive experience and I am so grateful for y'all!
Thank you guys for for visiting Guatemala I appreciate that and God bless you guys
Saga in that green shawl is everything!!! So cute!
I truly love how you live your life. So full l! Full of love, creativity and service to others. Very inspiring
You made me so emotional guys. So happy to see that you are enjoying life and making count every experience. Sending you love
So good to see y’all saying grace before your meals❤️🙏🏾 I don’t see many tubers showing their beliefs 😍
Yay my Sunday is complete with my Maya, Max and Saga watch ❤❤
I went to Guatemala years ago. Its so popular right now. It was beautiful to see you both travel off of the beaten path. I love how you curate your life together, such a blessed love/family.
I think u guys should travel the world creating documentaries like this
That is so awesome y'all are missionaries and I love it!!!! dream life!!!!
You guys are brave for leaving you daughter with a person you don’t know 😬 , i could not do it !!! Welcome to Guatemala .
They probably were exhausted having her there and needed a break.
Absolutely adore the two of you!! (And, of course, Saga!)
Loved this…the shots were pulled together beautifully!!!
Omg so cool spending time with the family. Love it!!
Truly lovely

Best vlog I’ve seen in a while, love you guys. Thank you for showing us life ❤️
I LOVE it! Thank you two for sharing! 💕
Thank you for doing this beautiful videos of my country Guatemala 🇬🇹🙏🏻😍 you guys had a beautiful trip to Guatemala!
Thanks for sharing this vid as your important work that brings awareness to women in remote and social impact to educate and offer maternity alternatives. Living your life with service and purpose is so fulfilling. Saga is so beautiful and growing up so fast. Maya your glow is back...hair is healthy ...stunning.
I love seeing this video so much!😊.
Watching all of this unfold makes me sooo happy. Loved this closing insight to your travels. Loved your recs re the areas you travelled to and worked in, and the light you're shining on Casa Maternas. Max your editing for this whole travel series has been so bangin. Thank you for sharing your life and truths with us Max, Maya and Saga.
This is truly beautiful. I agree that it is life should be lived in service to community ❤❤❤❤
This was such a beautiful video and very informative thank you for sharing ! I felt like I was there with you guys🫶🏾🫶🏾
So inspiring! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you for sharing Max and Maya! This is true missionary work!! Thank you for letting the SONshine work through you two!!🤗🤗🙏🏾🙏🏾
I haven’t finished the video yet but I’m already feeling so joyful. The way your family is living is inspiring. And the stories you are sharing is equally inspiring and beautiful. Thank you so much for providing this content ❤️ I love this channel.
Oh my goodness. This is just so wonderful. I’ve learned so much from this video. Thank you for sharing 💕
There was something so wholesome and heartwarming about this video. I loved seeing all these towns, places I would probably never hear about, and seeing how they live. I love that even with the language barrier there was so much love and understanding. That was my favorite part. I'm not gonna lie, when I saw the long video I was a little hesitant to click on it but as soon as it started I was instantly sucked in to the adventure. Yall dipped your toe into the Documentary game and I know with the quality you displayed, its only up from here. Thank you for sharing this with us.
This was a beautiful, inspiring video. I have been following for many years, and the amount of growth and unity is so empowering to see.❤
I'm passionate about women's health and recently presented on black women's maternal health. So seeing this vlog was inspirational and insightful. Can't wait to see more! ❤️
I LOVE THIS!!!! The beauty and positive vibes of all of the women (and Max😊) show through in this video. What an important topic to bring to the for fronts of our minds -education access, woman’s healthcare, child birth complications and solutions! I am so inspired 😊❤❤❤. This channel, your family is phenomenal. I’m always grateful for your post. I can’t imagine the work and dedication it takes to put it together. Thank you Maya, Max and Saga 😊
Thanks so much for sharing your experience of meeting new people new cultures, as a family and as inviduals. Even Saga is having her share of it,that's great👍🏼 Glad you didn't enjoy that hippie place by the lake, me neither. As an aside, Maya your hair 🤩🤩🤩, could you take some minutes to tell about it next time. Take Care you all, God bless.
So wonderful! Y’all are doing Gods work! Thank you for sharing your journey with us!
While God is working on us! 🙏🏻🙏🏾
Really enjoyed this vlog. Maya love how long, thick, and healthy your hair has gotten and looks. Just beautiful 😍 🤩 👌 ❤️.
That was so nice of her to invite you in her home for a meal with her family!!! What you said about helping others and being part of a community are values that truly speak to me. Unfortunately, it's something I haven't managed to manifest and embody in my life, so thanks a lot for sharing and inspiring us!!! ❤️❤️❤️ the video was focused on pregnancy and childbirth but I was wondering if the center was adressing other sexual and reproductive health topics.
Really enjoying this series Max & Maya. Look forward to the documentary. ❤
Now to get through that 4K footage 🤯
Maya, I love your clothing for each field trip from head-to-toe accessories 🎉 God bless and keep you and hubby and Saga bear.
Thank you for sharing
Loved seeing San Juan and San Pedro, meeting the Midwives and all the beautiful Familia. I appreciate your perspectives and vulnerability in sharing these stories. It's not what is trending but what it is you are tending. Big Love!
I love this new format. Feel very documentary Style!!! I remember drinking coffee there EVERY DAY! Our group had visited a plantation and we learned that is where Starbucks, Dunkin Donut and Nescafe take the coffee from (one of the countries). You can feel the atmosphere when you go to a Starbucks. Very good job on showing some of the reality of your daily 🥰
So precious 🌻
I work in public health and have always been fascinated in maternal/child health. I LOVEEE how you captured these community programs that are making a difference in these mama’s lives ❤❤
wow!! this is incredible!
Se trata de saber vivir y poder compartir, para poder ayudar a los demás mientras avanzamos podemos ayudar
This video reminds me of the days when I volunteered with medical & construction teams in Mexico 🥹🥹 best time in my life❤., what a blessing to do have these experiences as a family 🥰🥰🥰🥰
All mighty lord blessed you're family
So happy that you documented the strong mothers and extraordinary midwives at the clinic. As a veteran birth doula, I am interested in midwifery practices and birthing culture in various countries. Thanks so much for bringing the maternity clinic to life. Look forward to experiencing further journeys with your family.
extraordinary experience ! ❤
So wonderful to see you educate us about preeclampsia. It’s a big issue. Here in the United States women die as well from this. I can’t imagine being anywhere where healthcare isn’t close enough to help you. Those conditions are more common than you think - even in the United States.
Watching your family is such a plus. ❤❤❤❤
This was beautiful ❤❤❤
I like your show mucho...
Yass! More content like this 🎉
So wonderfully AHHH-MAZIIING!
This was a very exciting video
Yay! Glad you found it exciting!
Loving your videos! Helping people in need, nature, healthy eating, sign me up! 😀💥🏵
So good. 😊
This video was beautiful
WoW! this is so interesting.
Glad you’re enjoying!
This was such a genuine video. Great stuff. Also, the reason they laughed when you said sopa de polla instead of pollo is because polla is slang for the male organ 😅. Such an easy thing to mix up 😊.
As someone who almost died during childbirth (less than a year ago), this video is so special to me. Thank you for your work spotlighting midwives and your care for mothers❤❤
Saga is so cute 🥰
Toddler has well developed taste buds from foods around the world.
Great Video ❤ Does Max keep an Epi pen with him? Just checking since you're on the go 😊
Interesting.
Lovely couple hahaha Quetzalteca .Q baby child 😮
💗
❤
14:35 Maya inspired! 😊
I remembee you mentioning about your work for Casa Materna a week or 2 ago on your Shameless Maya channel.
12:55 ❤
You guys should host a go fund me for them to build another womens clinic. I would donate. ❤
Maya I like your earrings
Big part of this video had no text. Missed all what is said during those parts! Sad! 😥
First yay
🏆🏆🏆
I get motion sickness as well. There are acupressure wristbands that I find very effective. ❤
Could be the frequent changes to Maya's living environment affects her ability to settle down to sleep.
Maya, don't feel bad about not knowing Robbie Williams. Black American living in the UK. He's English and he never really hit in the US despite all of his very many efforts. Not knowing him is not a sign of falling off.
This was a nice video, But I do they know why the babies are born blind, have they researched that reason?
Lol, throw that cocktail back Maya!
🤍
Saga is probably exhausted from jumping from town to town. I know some babies require normality/routine. I enjoy the vlogs, it’s amazing to see other places and people. They’re very humble and wholesome.
What's that on ur forehead?
