In Episode 228,  host Andrea Atherton welcomes Martine Cohn for a conversation that speaks directly to the hearts of those who learned early in life to dim their brilliance to feel safe, loved, or accepted. Together, they explore the tender and often unspoken ways childhood messages shape our adult identities, messages that teach us to stay small, quiet our intuition, or silence our dreams so we don’t disrupt the very systems meant to care for us. This dialogue invites listeners to gently become aware of those inherited patterns and consider what becomes possible when we permit ourselves to shine without apology.

Martine opens her heart and shares the story of the car accident that forever altered the direction of her life. Once committed to a structured path in law, she found herself awakened—body, mind, and spirit—to a deeper purpose that had been whispering beneath the surface for years. The accident became both a rupture and a rebirth, pulling her away from a life defined by expectations and guiding her toward the profound work of helping others rediscover their true essence. Her journey is a testament to the way trauma can become initiation, illuminating parts of ourselves we were taught to hide.

Listeners will feel invited into a space of reflection, courage, and soulful possibility as Andrea and Martine explore how reclaiming one’s light is both an act of personal healing and a gift to the world. This episode speaks to anyone standing at the threshold of their own becoming, ready to step out of the shadows of old narratives and into a life shaped by authenticity, purpose, and heart-led freedom.
