Ep 44: Rewrite Your Story: Conscious Choices Change Everything & How to Make Them Today (with Author, Martine Cohen)

Season #1

What if the life you’ve been given isn’t the one you have to accept?

In this episode, Emily talks with author and coach Martine Cohen about how conscious choices can rewrite your story—even when it feels like your brain, your identity, or your roles have you stuck. Martine shares how a traumatic car accident and concussion shifted her from “I am my brain” to “I am awareness,” and how you can step out of patterns, people-pleasing, and unconscious survival modes to lead yourself from alignment and freedom.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Recognize the difference between reacting and choosing

  • Let go of the layers that hold you back (beliefs, identities, fears)

  • Shift your nervous system from survival to thriving

  • Integrate your intelligence and intuition for authentic leadership

  • Make small, powerful choices today that change your tomorrow

This episode is a must-listen for high-achieving professionals, leaders, and anyone done sacrificing their peace, power, and purpose for someone else’s version of success.
