Before I could find my voice, I had to lose the one I’d been performing...
This bonus episode is raw and reflective—part story, part transmission—for the woman who’s feeling unrecognizable to herself… and still showing up.

If the life you built no longer fits…
If your truth feels too loud and your world too quiet…
You’re not falling apart.
You’re being cracked open.
In this episode, you’ll explore:
- A behind-the-scenes moment from my own unraveling
- The grief, rage, and stillness of identity collapse
- Why falling apart might be the most sacred thing you do
- An invitation to honor your truth—even when it feels like loss

Introduction of Life-Changing Story
00:00:58
Michele Martin
Hi, love, and welcome to this episode of the Authenticity Revolution. Today, I want to share something a little personal, a story that shaped me, that broke me open, and ultimately, it led me to this work.
00:01:14
Michele Martin
This story isn't po polished, it's raw, it's real, and it changed everything for me.
Decision to Leave an Abusive Marriage
00:01:21
Michele Martin
And I'm sharing it in case you're standing in your own quiet collapse right now.
00:01:27
Michele Martin
If you've been hiding in plain sight, unsure of what's next, this is for you. At 26 years old, I made a decision that would shift the course of my entire life.
00:01:39
Michele Martin
I left my marriage, not just any marriage, a marriage that I'd fought to stay in, even when it was hurting me, even when I'd lost my voice, even when I felt like I was disappearing.
00:01:52
Michele Martin
There had been emotional abuse, And moments of fear of how I would survive if I left. Years of trying to be what he needed while abandoning myself.
Realization and Personal Growth
00:02:05
Michele Martin
And then one day, something in me said, enough. Not the loud or dramatic kind of enough. That quiet, soul-deep kind.
00:02:17
Michele Martin
The kind that arises from somewhere ancient inside of you and it just won't be silenced. I didn't really have a plan. I had no idea what the future would hold, but I knew that I had to leave.
00:02:32
Michele Martin
Not just the relationship, but the version of me who thought that she had to shrink to be loved.
Journey to Truth and Authenticity
00:02:39
Michele Martin
And that moment became the first real pivot of my life.
00:02:44
Michele Martin
It cracked me open. It began my journey inward towards truth, towards sobriety, towards reclaiming my voice. And though it was hard, so hard, it was the beginning of everything.
00:03:00
Michele Martin
And I call this work the authenticity revolution because for me, authenticity isn't a buzzword, it's liberation. It's the choice to come home to yourself again and again, no matter who that disappoints.
Invitation for Reflection
00:03:18
Michele Martin
Just pause here. and let that land.
00:03:24
Michele Martin
Maybe you've had a moment like that, or maybe you're standing at the edge of one right now. A decision, a truth, a knowing in your bones that something has to change.
