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.
