Ep07 | You Don’t Need Another Opinion—You Need to Tap Into The Voice You Were Taught to Ignore

Do you keep brushing off your best ideas because they don’t feel “realistic”? Do you talk yourself out of trying something new because you're afraid of looking “dumb,” making a mistake, or—worst of all—being judged by your family?

In this real, unfiltered episode, Dr. Onaysia Martinez — first-gen Latina, physical therapist turned identity liberation coach — explores what it really means to trust your inner voice. She shares her story of giving up on her dream of becoming a chef and how one comment from a parent shaped the trajectory of her entire life.

✨ In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why your childhood passions still matter (and how they reveal your purpose)

• How to stop throwing away ideas that don’t seem “realistic”

• A framework for identifying what's yours vs. what you inherited

• How to use your inner compass to make decisions that align with you — not your family, culture, or fear

If you’ve been searching: 🔎 “How do I trust my gut again?” 🔎 “I have a dream but I’m scared what people will think” 🔎 “How to find my purpose when I’ve been living for others”

🔎 "How do I stop carrying about what other people think?" Then THIS is your divine download, queen.
