This episode of Women Unlocking Wealth shares the inspiring story of transformation and self-belief that turned struggle into purpose. We talk with transformational coach Yolanda Martinez, who recounts her incredible journey from migrant worker to mindset mentor. Through courage, self-discovery, and the truth, she transformed her challenges into a message of empowerment for women everywhere.

Yolanda opens up about finding the strength to walk away from limiting environments, leaving her teaching career to create a life of freedom, and redefining self-love as a foundation for confidence. Her story reminds us that change is always a choice, and that self-respect is where true transformation begins.

We also explore how self-commitment shapes success, why honesty is an act of self-love, and how showing up for yourself builds resilience that lasts a lifetime.

• How Yolanda transformed her childhood experiences into strength

• The courage to walk away and start over at 19

• Why she left teaching to follow her passion

• How honesty and authenticity create confidence

• The meaning of self-love and self-respect

• Why commitment to yourself changes everything

• Lessons on showing up and accountability

• Redefining women's roles in modern life

• How change is always a personal choice

"If I can't take care of myself, then I can't take care of you."

"Self-love is like respect. You can't demand that someone respect you if you don't respect yourself."

"I think that if you get asked the right questions, you'll get the answer that you're looking for."

"I always felt like, as women, we always say, Oh, you have to respect me. Well, do you respect yourself for other people to see that you respect yourself?"

"I find that sometimes we get stuck in our story, and then we think that's all there is for me."

From the fields of Oregon to the frontlines of mindset coaching, Yolanda Martinez is living proof that you can rewrite your story. As the creator of 21 Days with Yolanda, she helps women embrace self-worth, build self-respect, and commit to daily growth through intentional action.

Her programs empower women to heal old narratives, strengthen confidence, and rediscover purpose — proving that transformation starts within.

"When you put the time, effort, leadership, and thought into doing something and impacting people, there are so many more opportunities for women to step in."

"One of the things that we, as women, don't give ourselves enough credit because we are juggling so many things, you don't get the recognition that we can balance and we're a bit more organized."

We also dive into how soul connections lead to aligned partnerships, why asking for signs strengthens your intuition, and how your words can manifest the desires of your heart. When you put intention into action and step outside your comfort zone, you'll start to see the abundance that's been waiting for you all along.

• Words of wisdom from a PayPal mafia

• The power of quick decision-making

• How signs help us practice intuition

• Stepping out of the box and receiving abundance

• The Finance Feminine Oracle

Favorite Quotes:

"The majority of women don't necessarily trust themselves. They don't trust their intuition, or maybe they've got a lack of confidence. Maybe it's something that they've learned over the past."

"We love business, but we've also tapped in and understood more about our own situation and what's important for our core values, and be able to express that."

"I think signs are great if you really need a leg to stand on— is that really what I should be doing? I think it's a good way to practice your intuition, for sure. "

"What's the common thread in your success? I looked back at mine, and mine has always come from people, and it has always come from visibility."

"If a common thread in your life has brought you so much abundance, and it's from you being yourself or you following a hunch, and you blocked that because of a person or a circumstance, there's so much abundance that's being shoved in a box somewhere and hidden."

Sabrina Guler co-founded a nine-figure company, helped launch billion-dollar products at Apple — and then decided to rebuild success on her own terms. Today, she runs Intuitive CEO, guiding founders and consumer brands to build companies that don't just scale, they resonate. She's advised hundreds of entrepreneurs in creating the next generation of category leaders — proving that true wealth comes from leading with soul.

Through that journey, Melissa developed frameworks and tools to help high achievers in relationships. She is a trusted relationship coach for executives, founders, and driven individuals seeking actionable, science-backed tools to navigate love.
