What happens when you stop pretending, get radically honest, and finally take ownership of your story—mess and all? This week, I’m joined by the powerful and unfiltered April Martini, life coach, speaker, and creator of The Martini Method, for a deeply real and refreshing conversation you do not want to miss. April gets vulnerable about her journey from the structured world of the military and corporate America to the chaos (and clarity) that came through divorce, motherhood, and facing childhood trauma head-on. We talk about codependency, infidelity, and the dark corners of life we don’t always like to shine a light on—because healing isn't linear and growth isn't always pretty. From postpartum depression to the unexpected relief of divorce, navigating blended families, and finding herself as a single woman again, April shares how she turned painful life transitions into the foundation for her life’s work. With raw insight and zero shame, she introduces The Martini Method—her practical, honest approach to self-discovery, boundary-setting, and lasting change. This isn’t your typical “fix your life” chat. It’s a beautifully messy, truth-filled reminder that you are not broken, you’re becoming. 💥 In this episode, we dive into: Why healing is a practice, not a destination How childhood trauma shows up in adult relationships Codependency: what it really looks like (and how to break the cycle) The surprising freedom that can come after divorce Mental health in the military—what’s missing and what we need Motherhood, identity loss, and reclaiming your sense of self Why social media messes with our heads The power of boundaries and support systems And of course… the Martini Method for reclaiming your life ✨ Real. Raw. Refreshing. This episode is packed with truth bombs and tender moments that will have you nodding, reflecting, and maybe even finally letting yourself off the hook. Don’t just listen—experience this one.
