030: Trusting the Process with Judith Martinez

Craft A Life You Love

Cultivating genuine connections with those around her has been a key part of how Judith Martinez, founder and CEO of InHerShoes crafts a life that she loves. Today I had the honor of chatting with Judith about her non-profit organization and the work they do for young girls and women around the globe. We discuss having the confidence to go after your dreams and why she decided to skip law school and instead start a non-profit. We talk about how self-care isn’t selfish, why you should start asking for what you want and why you should set time aside each day to review and reflect on your life.
