Let’s be honest — you can’t live authentically if you’re still hiding behind excuses, blame, or the stories you tell yourself.
In this episode of Midlife Mavericks, I talk with transformative coach and author Martine Cohen about what it really means to take ownership of your life. Martine’s philosophy is simple but powerful: before you can be authentic with others, you have to be authentic with yourself.
We dig into the mindset shifts that help you stop people-pleasing, quiet that critical inner voice, and start leading from a place of truth. Because the moment you own your choices, your reactions, and your growth — that’s when real freedom begins.
✨ Why authenticity starts from the inside out
✨ How to silence the 2 a.m. inner critic
✨ Martine’s “inner boardroom” technique for confronting your old stories
✨ The difference between blame and ownership — and why it matters
✨ How to move from fear and survival mode into curiosity and confidence
✨ Why midlife is your best opportunity to rewrite your story
