In this episode, Martina dives into a situation that might hit close to home: being judged, criticized, or even called “stupid” just for having your own opinions—especially in a time when everyone’s feeling intense, emotional, and maybe a bit on edge.

After recently being called “stupid” by a family member for her stance on the U.S. election (if she could vote), Martina’s here to share why that comment didn’t sting and how her sense of self-worth kept her calm and grounded.

This episode explores how we can stay true to ourselves without letting others’ opinions take us down and why we’re all a lot more alike than we might think—even when we disagree.

Key Points:

• The Power of Self-Worth: How grounding yourself in your values and worth can protect you from others’ judgments.

• Seeing Humanity Beyond Opinions: The reality that, underneath all our differences, we share the exact core needs—peace, love, and acceptance—even if our paths to getting there look different.

• Conquering the “Judgment Spiral”: Practical steps to sidestep judgment when others’ beliefs rub you the wrong way and focus instead on empathy and understanding.

• Why It’s OK to Feel Intensely: Acknowledging the normalcy of fear, grief, or frustration over the world’s chaos—without letting those emotions morph into hate.

• Standing Tall in Your Beliefs: Knowing and accepting yourself at a deep level allows you to navigate polarizing conversations with a steady heart.

Tune in for a grounded, spicy chat about finding humanity in times of chaos and keeping your peace—even when everyone else seems to be losing it.
