I Do Me, Boo
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 terrifying
- Why certainty isn’t the same as truth
- Why relationships get messy
- How 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.

In this episode, Martina explores the exhausting habit of control—something many of us, especially women in our 30s and 40s, get caught up in.
She breaks down how we’ve been conditioned to manage everything from our emotions to other people’s reactions and how this constant need to control drains our energy, creativity, and joy.
Key Points:
The Habit of Control: Why we’re conditioned to manage everything and everyone, and how it’s rooted in “emotional labor”—the invisible workload we carry to keep the peace.
Nervous System 101: How our need to control is our nervous system tricking us into feeling "safe"—and why it's a trap that leads to stress and anxiety.
The Illusion of Control: Why trying to control everything builds a prison around us, blocking joy, creativity, and authenticity.
How to Let Go: Practical tips on how to stop rehearsing life like a script, trust yourself, and embrace the magic of letting go—imperfections and all.
