I Do Me, Boo is for women done overthinking, doubting themselves, and arguing with their own minds. I’m Martina — coach, podcaster, and unapologetic truth-teller — and on this show, I’m diving into why growth feels harder than it should.  Why your brain, your nervous system, and old patterns quietly keep you stuck — even when you’re smart, self-aware, and genuinely trying. Each episode mixes raw personal stories with psychology, neuroscience, and practical insight to uncover: Why being wrong feels terrifyingWhy certainty isn’t the same as truthWhy relationships get messyHow your inner voice can be your sneakiest blocker No fluff. No fake motivation. Loads of personal and vulnerable stories. Just honest conversations about emotional patterns, communication, identity, and how to finally trust yourself — without needing to be right all the time. If you’re ready for clarity, emotional maturity, and growth that actually sticks — without forcing yourself to be anyone else — you’re in the right place. Less noise. More truth. This is I Do Me, Boo.

    You’re Not Arguing. You’re Protecting a Wound.

    One minute you’re in an ordinary moment — the next, you’re dealing with tears, anger, shutdown, or intensity that feels wildly out of proportion. And you’re left wondering: What just happened… and why does this feel so serious? In this episode, Martina unpacks why small moments can trigger massive reactions — and why these moments don’t come from drama, weakness, or emotional immaturity, but from a nervous system that has learned to treat certain situations as threat. Using a real-life story after a late flight, Martina opens the door into what’s actually happening inside the brain and body when someone is triggered — why logic disappears, why emotions escalate fast, and why your partner can suddenly feel like the most unsafe person in the room. She breaks down the fast track of the amygdala, how implicit memory stores old experiences as sensations rather than stories, and why anger so often shows up to protect something far more vulnerable underneath. From there, the conversation turns practical — without turning you into the emotional caretaker. In this episode, Martina explores: Why you feel before you think — and why explaining yourself during a trigger often makes it worseHow old emotional states get activated through the body, not the mindWhy partners unknowingly become stand-ins for childhood attachment figuresHow to co-regulate with compassion and maintain clear boundaries — so empathy doesn’t become self-abandonment This episode is for the women who want deeper connection — but refuse to lose themselves trying to keep the peace. Because understanding trauma isn’t about walking on eggshells. And love isn’t meant to come at the cost of your nervous system. Got a thought, reaction, or moment this episode stirred up?

    Why Hard Conversations Suck — And It’s Not a You Problem

    In this episode, I’m breaking down why hard conversations don’t just feel uncomfortable — they feel dangerous. Not because you’re dramatic. Not because you lack confidence. But because your nervous system learned, early on, that honesty could cost you connection. If you’ve ever frozen, gone quiet, over-explained, or said “it’s fine” when it wasn’t — this isn’t a mindset issue. It’s biology. We’ll talk about why your body reacts before your logic can catch up, how early attachment and social conditioning shape silence, and the invisible costs of staying quiet — at home, at work, and in your closest relationships. I’ll also walk you through a gentle, practical way to begin challenging these patterns — not by forcing confidence, but through regulation, small exposures, and repair — so truth and connection no longer feel mutually exclusive. In this episode, we cover: • why difficult conversations are defined by consequence, not topic • how early attachment shapes freeze, fawn, and people-pleasing • the real cost of silence in relationships and leadership • why “just be confident” is incomplete advice • how to reframe discomfort as unfamiliar — not unsafe • how evidence and repair rebuild trust in your voice If this episode resonated, share it with someone who struggles to speak up, subscribe to the podcast, and pass it on — because these are conversations most people were never taught to understand Got a thought, reaction, or moment this episode stirred up?

    Why Your Mind Is Loyal to Your Old Version — and How to Change It Safely

    We break down why change often feels impossible even for driven, self-aware people, and how the nervous system protects an old identity under pressure. We share a practical method to update that identity with small, safe steps that actually stick. • calling out stale self-help and willpower myths • the brain’s sacred rule to protect predictability • identity as who we are under pressure • body signals that reveal the old story • people pleasing, self-sufficiency, and hiding feelings as safety strategies • micro violations in low-stakes moments • pairing breath and safety with new behavior • repetition that retrains the autopilot • a clear loop: notice, name, breathe, act, mark safety Send me a message under the episode or ping me on Instagram at FemMagical and tell me what was helpful or where you want me to go deeper Got a thought, reaction, or moment this episode stirred up?

    Broken by Modern Womanhood—and the Price You’re Paying

    In this episode, Martina dives into the invisible pressure so many women carry: the mental load, the emotional labor, the endless juggling of work, home, health, appearance, partnership, family, and everyone’s feelings. Whether you have kids or not, whether you work from home or outside the house, the load is real. And for so many women, it never turns off. In a world that tells women “you can have it all,” many of us are quietly burning out trying to be it all.  And for millennial women — the first generation who lived both with and without technology, the first to be told “go build a career first, children later,” the first to carry both the old expectations and the new freedoms — the pressure is uniquely intense. So today, Martina unpacks: Why so many women secretly feel like something is “wrong” with themHow emotional labor and mental load drain your health, your joy, and your energyThe millennial generational trap of “do it all, do it perfectly, and don’t complain.”Why more choice sometimes means more pressureThe quiet resentment so many women carry — and what it’s really trying to tell youMost importantly: how to step out of the cycle and finally breathe again Got a thought, reaction, or moment this episode stirred up?

    The Truth About Truth: How to Be Honest Without Blowing Up Your Life

    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. Got a thought, reaction, or moment this episode stirred up? Send me a note.

    Why Your Brain Turns on You When You Win

    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. 💛 Got a thought, reaction, or moment this episode stirred up?
