Do you wish you could stop procrastinating on your goals? Are you exhausted by all the things going on in your head with zero clarity or energy to create progress? Do you find work-life balance something you dream about but struggle to find? Are you feeling stuck, in your own way and lacking confidence? I am so excited you are here. This podcast will equip, empower and encourage you with more focus, level up your confidence, and provide simple solutions to create a healthy work-life balance. Hi, I'm Martine, your Chief Encouragement Officer, and I know the struggles of trying to harmonize life and business. With over 15 years of experience as a high-achieving entrepreneur heading a multi-million dollar sales organization, leading and coaching nearly 28,000 women, I've weathered the highs and lows, and I'm here to share the real strategies and behind the scenes stories that will inspire you to believe in your own ability to excel at work without sacrificing your life at home. I was the perpetual "yes girl"? Trying to be everything to everyone and nothing for myself. I wore busy as a badge of honor and hustled to the point of losing my identity, my confidence and my worth. I finally said goodbye to the hustle culture that was sucking the joy out of my journey and realized there was a better way. I created simple solutions that allowed me to create healthy boundaries and make time for what mattered most in my business and life and I am so excited to share those with you! Join me as we simplify the path to success, reclaiming your time and identity along the way. We're remixing burnout into breakthroughs and redefining success on your terms!
