    EMBRACING THE UNKNOWN: Looking to the Sky for Direction with Jocelin Martinez

    Jocelin Martinez is a seasoned communications trainer and astrologer. Jocelin has facilitated thousands of successful sessions, providing expert advice on messaging and presentation skills to clients across industries like home and luxury goods, healthcare, beauty, and entertainment. She considered her 15-year career successful, but a meeting with an astrologer in 2016 introduced a new perspective and another professional practice. Her childhood curiosity with astrology began with Walter Mercado’s captivating television appearances, a must-watch in her household. Though she later enjoyed reading her horoscope, she remained unaware of astrology’s depth until that pivotal meeting at a friend’s party. The subsequent invitation to attend a weekly astrology meeting sparked a profound transformation in her. She now utilizes modern and Hellenistic predictive techniques to help clients navigate life’s ebbs and flows…and their key messages. Jocelin often says, "I don't ‘believe’ in astrology. I have an astrology practice because it works.” Join us for a spirited conversation with Jocelin Martinez, where we explore the power and potential of astrology to better understand who we are, what we are, and how what’s happening in the sky can give us direction in our lives on Earth.  In this episode you’ll hear about: Leveraging astrology to guide us through times of unknown and changeHow we’re so much more than our (sun) signsWhy it’s not the “planets fault” when something goes wrong in our livesApproachable ways to be in relationship with astrology in your every day lifeSOCIAL HANDLES  Jocelin's WebsiteConnect with BWB wearebwb.com @we.are.bwb Casey LinkedIN Cait LinkedIN BWB Linkedin Be sure to subscribe on Apple or Spotify, and leave us a 5-star rating + review!
