The Road to Macstock stops to talk to Paula Marie Davis, who previews her first Macstock appearance and the path that led her from longtime Mac user and wellness coach to launching Ditch the Dogma with Ecamm. She explains why creators need to care for the person running the tech stack, how conference inspiration can become post-event exhaustion, and how movement, time mapping, and small wellness practices can support energy, creativity, and follow-through.

Guests:
Paula Marie Davis is a well-being advocate and creator, soon relaunching the Ditch the Dogma Live Show (June 3, 2026). Known for her grounded, no-BS approach to health and life, she says what most people tiptoe around. A mother of five and a wife for over 30 years, Paula brings real-life experience, not just theory, to every conversation.
For more than two decades, Paula's work has been shaped by hands-on experimentation, uncovering what actually helps women feel strong, clear, and capable without chasing quick fixes, one-size-fits-all solutions, or handing power to so-called gurus. Working from her home studio in Illinois, she focuses on practical movement, breathwork, and holistic routines tailored for real life, not trends. Her approach centers on daily habits that help the body handle stress, use energy efficiently, and sustain long-term health.
After years of building and marketing her own business behind the scenes, Paula now brings that work into livestreaming and digital content. While her work is rooted in helping women, the principles she teaches apply to anyone who wants to better understand and support their health, so they can consistently show up, be visible, and share the message they were created to deliver.
