What If Anxiety Wasn't The Enemy? | Shelley Martinez
What if your anxiety wasn’t the enemy—but the messenger? In this eye-opening episode, we sit down with Shelley Martinez, a transformational life coach and licensed psychotherapist with over 35 years of experience. Shelley shares how modern hustle culture and “high-functioning anxiety” are robbing women of joy, health, and self-trust—and what to do instead.
We explore Shelley’s signature Inspired Life Alchemy Method, how to turn emotional chaos into inner clarity, and why numbing your feelings (with Botox or burnout) is blocking your business breakthrough.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” but still feeling off, this conversation will help you decode your body’s signals and access the wisdom within your emotions.
