026 | Michelle Martinez: Supporting others by sharing your chronic illness journey

Reme Mancera Episode 26

Have you ever felt like life forced you to stop, only to guide you toward something more meaningful?

Today’s guest is Michelle Martinez, a Life Systems Strategist who helps overwhelmed women simplify their lives with humor, heart, and zero BS. Her work is rooted in real-life experience, and in this conversation, she shares the deeply personal journey that inspired her mission.

Michelle opens up about caring for her father during his final months, leaving a toxic job, and navigating a multiple sclerosis diagnosis, all within a short time. These moments didn’t break her. Instead, they became the foundation for a new way of living and working.

We talk about the origins of her “LIFE” framework, the power of asking for help (even when it feels impossible), and how to build routines that support your real, messy, beautiful life. Michelle also shares how storytelling has connected her with others navigating chronic illness, caregiving, or just plain burnout.

If you’ve ever wondered how to balance your needs with all the demands of life, or if you’re craving more ease and joy in your day, don’t miss this episode.
