I Do Me, Boo
I Do Me, Boo is for women who are done trying to get life “right.”
I’m Martina — and this podcast is me, in real time. Not after I’ve figured things out. While I’m in it.
I take you into the messy, raw moments: when I’m triggered, frustrated, questioning myself, emotional… and I unpack what’s really going on underneath. The thoughts. The patterns. The reactions. All of it.
From a place of honesty and vulnerability. No filter. No pretending I have it all together—because I don’t.
Life isn’t clean, neat, or linear. And we all deal with the human bullsh*t that comes with it.
Here, you’ll hear real conversations that help you:
- Stop spiraling and actually understand why it happens
- Break the patterns you keep repeating
- Navigate relationships without losing yourself
- Face aging, “what ifs,” and life’s big questions with clarity
- Trust yourself and stop abandoning your own needs
No fluff. No “5 steps to fix your life.” Just real talk about handling triggers, owning your power, and living fully—half-in is over.
If you’re ready to feel seen, challenged, and inspired to step fully into yourself… you’ll feel at home here.
Less noise. More truth. This is I Do Me, Boo.
