In this episode, Martina digs into the art of speaking your truth in a way that actually lands — not the kind that blows up in your face or keeps you awake at night replaying the moment. She walks you through why honesty feels so complicated, how to tell the difference between the right truth and the wrong moment, and what it really means to be honest without abandoning yourself or overwhelming someone else.

If you’ve ever bitten your tongue, over-explained yourself, or said something you immediately regretted… this episode is going to feel like that deep exhale you didn’t know you needed. We’re talking clarity, compassion, confidence — and how to make your truth something that connects, not pushes people away.

In today’s episode, Martina pulls back the curtain on the moment every woman knows too well — when you create something, feel a spark… and then your brain ambushes you with doubt. She’s sharing the unfiltered story behind her recent podcast pause: the insecurity spiral, the overthinking, and the exact moment she almost deleted an episode she’d just poured her heart into.

She dives into the razor-thin line between discernment and self-sabotage, and why so many women — especially high-achievers — get trapped in the “good girl” loop of needing things to be perfect before they’re “allowed” to exist.

If you’ve ever had an idea, a post, a project, a dream sitting in drafts because it didn’t feel flawless yet… this episode is your permission slip and your wake-up call.

Because the truth is: your confidence doesn’t grow from polishing. It grows from publishing.

Tune in for a hit of courage, self-trust, and a reminder that your next breakthrough is hiding behind the thing you’re scared to share. 💛

In this episode, Martina dives into the truth we all need to hear: your job doesn’t have to be your dream.

Your work is just a chapter, not the whole story of your life. It’s a tool — a way to pay bills, gain stability, and create space for the life you really want. Martina shares how to make your job fit into your life, instead of fitting your life into your job, and how to let your soul, passions, and dreams grow quietly behind the scenes.

You’ll hear practical tips for:

• Using your job to fund your freedom, not define your meaning
• Finding what you truly love and making room for it
• Turning your 9–5 into a stepping stone for your dream life
• Making small, intentional choices that build your life outside of work

If you’ve ever felt stuck in a job that doesn’t light you up — or pressured to “find meaning” in work — this episode is a wake-up call. Your job is just one chapter; your life is the masterpiece.

Tune in and learn how to stop waiting for the perfect job and start building the life you actually want, today.

In this episode, Martina gets real about envy — yes, that green, uncomfortable feeling you’ve been trained to see as bad. She shares her own story of catching envy creeping in when a friend’s life looked effortless, and how she learned to metabolize it instead of shoving it down or projecting it onto others.

Martina offers practical tips to sit with envy, dialogue with it, and turn it into a compass that points toward freedom, ease, and permission to live life on your own terms. By the end, you’ll see that the emotion everyone hides isn’t shameful — it’s a doorway to growth, clarity, and even a little bit of magic.

Tune in, lean in, and let Martina show you how to turn green into gold.

In this episode, Martina gets real — raw coffee-in-hand, dogs snoring in the background, and a mic that almost didn’t work. After seven months off the podcast, she dives straight into what’s been sitting heavy on her heart: the quiet grief of a friendship that hasn’t ended, but has changed.

She reflects on the bittersweetness of adult friendships — how some people we love deeply just don’t show up the way we wish they would. Martina opens up about accepting people as they are, holding space for heartbreak without judgment, and finding beauty in the friendships that no longer look how they used to.

If you’ve ever missed someone who’s still alive, still around, but just… not there, this one will speak right to you.

In today’s episode, Martina dives deep unpacking how suppressing your true emotions can lead to that explosive “other side” — a reaction fueled by pent-up anger rather than empowered, integrated self-loyalty. 

Martina shares eye-opening research on how emotional suppression can heighten stress and even affect physical health, and she explains why retaliatory outbursts aren’t the answer.

Key Points: 

• Understanding the buildup of “emotional debt” from constantly putting others first.

• The difference between a reactive, vengeful response and the integrated, confident self that sets healthy boundaries.

• Research insights, including findings on emotional suppression from the Journal of Psychosomatic Research, and how self-compassion can transform our response to conflict.

• Practical strategies for expressing your needs before reaching the breaking point, so you can maintain your authenticity without burning bridges.

Join Martina as she offers practical tips and heartfelt insights into breaking the cycle of people-pleasing, and reclaiming your power—before your “other side” has a chance to take over.

In this episode of I Do Me, Boo, Martina gets raw and real about a deeply personal moment of dysregulation before a driving exam. 

What seemed like simple nerves quickly spiraled into something much deeper—old wounds from childhood, fears of judgment, and the pressure to never disappoint. As she unraveled what was truly happening, she discovered how past emotional experiences show up in unexpected moments, sometimes hijacking our present.

Martina takes you on a journey of self-reflection, coaching herself through a moment of high stress, and realizing just how much of her inner dialogue was shaped by childhood criticism. 

This episode is a deep dive into emotional triggers, trauma responses, and how to navigate them with self-compassion.

In this episode, Martina shares:

• No US license for 4 years - Why she took 4 years to get her driving license.
• The unexpected meltdown – How she found herself on the verge of tears before a simple driving exam.
• The deeper layers beneath anxiety – Why her fear of failing wasn’t just about the test but rooted in a long-standing fear of being judged and criticized.
• Unpacking childhood wounds – How growing up in a critical household, where praise was rare and judgment was constant, shaped her need for external validation.
• The nervous system and trauma responses – How unprocessed emotions from childhood can manifest in adulthood, causing disproportionate reactions to seemingly small events.
• The myth of ‘big’ vs. ‘small’ trauma – Why all trauma is valid, and how minimizing our own struggles by comparing them to others only suppresses healing.
• Self-coaching through triggers – How she managed to regulate herself in the moment before her driving exam, shift her perspective, and move forward with courage.
• The power of self-awareness in healing – How recognizing patterns from the past can help break the cycle of emotional reactivity and create healthier responses.

This episode is for anyone who has ever felt blindsided by their own emotions, struggled with self-judgment, or wrestled with childhood wounds that still linger beneath the surface. 

Martina’s story is a powerful reminder that healing is not about erasing the past—it’s about understanding it, making space for it, and choosing to move forward with self-compassion.

🎧 Tune in and let’s dive deep into the messy, beautiful, and oh-so-human experience of healing.
