Hello, you badass woman! Welcome to the Aligned Relationship Podcast: Find Love, Feel Loved.


Welcome to the start of a mini series! This mini series will feature women from a mastermind group, called the Creatrix Collective, that I am a member of and is full of soul-led business owners who all have their unique healing and relationship journeys.


In today's podcast episode, I have Martine Mondragon, a 42 year old hair stylist from Sacramento CA as a guest to speak on her various relationship experiences, from abusive relationships to her healing marriage with a man who is healthy in his masculine energy.


Martine and I dive deep into Martine's transformative journey from experiencing trauma and C-PTSD due to past abusive relationships to finding healing and growth within her current marriage. We explore how her husband, in his healthy masculine energy, provides her emotional support and a safe space for her to heal, rediscover herself, and navigate triggers. We also touch on the importance of recognizing and navigating neurodivergence, such as Martine's self-discovered autism and how her transformation in understanding herself better has influenced her relationships. Martine shares her insights on the power of honesty and the role of constant growth in an aligned relationship. This episode is packed with wisdom for anyone seeking to understand and foster healthy, growing relationships.
