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.

Emotional Debt: How Suppression Sparks Retaliation—and What to Do Instead
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In today’s episode, Martina dives deep unpacking how suppressing your true emotions can lead to that explosive “other side” — a reaction fueled by pent-up anger rather than empowered, integrated self-loyalty.
Martina shares eye-opening research on how emotional suppression can heighten stress and even affect physical health, and she explains why retaliatory outbursts aren’t the answer.
Key Points:
• Understanding the buildup of “emotional debt” from constantly putting others first.
• The difference between a reactive, vengeful response and the integrated, confident self that sets healthy boundaries.
• Research insights, including findings on emotional suppression from the Journal of Psychosomatic Research, and how self-compassion can transform our response to conflict.
• Practical strategies for expressing your needs before reaching the breaking point, so you can maintain your authenticity without burning bridges.
Join Martina as she offers practical tips and heartfelt insights into breaking the cycle of people-pleasing, and reclaiming your power—before your “other side” has a chance to take over.
