Summary

Happiness Solved with Sandee Sgarlata. In this episode, Sandee interviews Martine Cohen. In this conversation, Martine Cohen shares her transformative journey from being a corporate attorney to a life and leadership coach after experiencing a life-altering car accident. She discusses the importance of self-discovery, understanding one's inner landscape, and the power of neuroplasticity in overcoming trauma. Martine emphasizes that true fulfillment comes from within and offers practical brain hacks to navigate fear and life's challenges. Her insights encourage listeners to exmbrace all aspects of themselves and recognize the opportunities for growth in every challenge they face. Takeaways: Martine's journey highlights the importance of self-discovery after trauma. We are not defined by our professions or our brains. Every challenge presents an opportunity for personal growth. Understanding our inner landscape is crucial for self-identity. Embracing all aspects of ourselves leads to empowerment. Neuroplasticity allows us to rewire our brains and change our lives. Fear can be a guide rather than a barrier. We have the power to choose our responses to fear. Life should be approached with a sense of flow and curiosity. It's our birthright to experience life in alignment with our true selves.
