423: Escaping Darkness: End Self-Sabotage, Negative Self-Talk, and Hit Restart to Make Progress with Life Coach Marti Forrest

Marti Forrest Hicks is a life coach and here is her story in her own words: "I mentor/coach people on their journey into loving themselves from the inside out. After a series of monogamous abusive relationships, I learned how to reprogram the messages that sabotaged me in every relationship I entered, because I had no idea how to LOVE me first. How I love me dictates how I am in every single relationship outside of me. How I am with me is how I am with you."

“We're always co-creating with people. We get wounded when we're children by our environment, our parents, or whoever was our caretaker at that time.” – Marti Forrest

“If it's in my best interest, it is also in theirs. Because when I'm authentic and true to me, I'm taking a stand for myself—my esteem, my life, and my purpose.” – Marti Forrest

“We have this idea that at certain ages we should be at certain points, but if our emotional age isn't there, it doesn't matter what our chronological age is.” – Marti Forrest
