  • 160 - Get Your Spark Back -- Rachel Marie Martin

    BUY THE SLOW LIVING BOOK HERE!

    In this episode, I sit down with Rachel Marie Martin, the inspiring author of Get Your Spark Backand creator of the popular Finding Joy website. Rachel shares her journey as a lifelong entrepreneur, mother, and a woman who has overcome significant life challenges, including raising a child with celiac disease and navigating a divorce.

    We discuss the life-changing perspective that comes when your child is diagnosed with a serious illness, the concept of time wasters from her latest book, and how she built a successful business despite her struggles. Rachel also opens up about teaching her children the value of money and responsibility, and why she believes it’s so important for women to know they are never alone, especially during times of reinvention and finding new friendships.

    Rachel’s story is a heartfelt reminder that no matter the struggles, you can always find your spark again and thrive.
