Broken to Brave

by Southgate Media Group

Early in 2018, I realized I was about to turn 50. To say I reacted strongly would be an understatement. I was in shock. I was devastated. Angry. Scared. Hopeless. I took to my bed. About 6 months later, I forced myself out of bed. I had wasted my adult life hiding in fear. I couldn’t get those years back, but I could try to salvage the years I had left. I challenged myself to do 50 brave things before I turned 51. As I worked through the numbers on my list, I found strength I never knew I possessed. I found the hope that I had lost. I found freedom from my past. I found the will to push past my fear and finally live. This is the story of my year of living dangerously.

    I'm Not Alone
    Martha's vulnerability is so raw and refreshing. I started listening at the same time I was personally going through a period of growth and healing, so I felt like I wasn't alone.

    Enjoying the journey
    Martha is sharing her journey and I'm so glad that she is letting us join her via the podcast. Real, emotional, often funny and always touching, this is an amazing podcast hosted by an amazing woman.

  • Xxxindie1901
    Great Listen
    The concept of going from broken to brave is the story of my life! Much of that process I had to learn on my own. This podcast inspires you to be brave as you listen to the host share her own journey!

    Vulnerable and so lovely
    This is such a beautiful and hopeful exploration of life and leaning into fear. I love it
  • spiked lemonade
    So relatable
    The relatable topics with the smidge of mental health is awesome ! I think every woman can relate to some kind of bathing a suit or clothing issue! Loved this!
