A new relationship with money will blossom within your life when you realize that you don’t ‘need’ money to feel a sense of self worth… because you already know your own value.  Our perception of money has a massive impact on our ability to create and hold wealth. Today I’ll help you pinpoint the negative money perceptions you might hold, and what it can look like to shift these perceptions in a w...

Money is the most common topic I’m asked about in my mentorship spaces. My relationship with money is an extension of my identity. Yet, it is not from a space of ‘having’ but BEING. I never needed a bigger home, a fancier car or larger diamonds. My wealth is a mirror of my exploration of how expansive I could become.  Today, I’ll share insight into how my relationship with wealth evolved throughou...

“Stop perfecting who you are for feedback from others, and start being real.”  Abundance is not just found in ‘good vibes’. Abundance does not leave us on days when the world feels heavy, when loneliness creeps in, or when our energy and emotions wobble. Abundance is the strength to truly be present with the full experience of living - and all of our emotions are included in that.  Today’s Journal...

I believe in sacred places. I feel we each have specific places on this Earth that activate something profound within us - portals to a connection with our deeper selves.  Paris is that place for me.  Today I’ll share the beautiful path that led me to living in Paris, and the ways in which Paris awoke my divine feminine and reintroduced me to the beauty of play and presence once I settled here.  T...

For so much of my life I ran at full speed. It was the only way that I knew how to be. I was an expert plate spinner with a full life. No amount of striving and productivity felt like too much.  When we sold our company and I retired at 39, the need to be ‘productive’ vanished. Then, the unexpected happened. I crashed. My soul came knocking, and it asked: who are you outside of your doing?  I didn...

Manifestation is one of my favorite topics to explore. I’ve manifested all kinds of mind blowing things, to the point where it has become a game of ‘how good does this get to be?’.  In my world, manifestation occurs in two ways: through your masculine energy and through your feminine energy. Today we’ll talk about how these manifestation styles different, why trust is so incredibly important for f...

I am a recovering people pleaser. Throughout my life, time and again, I received the message that speaking my truth was dangerous. So I did what so many women do: I disappeared. I showed up in ways that aligned exactly with how others wanted me to be. I minimized my desires to meet the desires of those around me in exchange for a feeling of safety and belonging.  Then I finally woke up to realize...

In my life, few things have provided me with more personal and spiritual growth than my experience as an entrepreneur. Today I will share how my journey as an entrepreneur has shaped me, and how my own personal growth has shaped my entrepreneurial success, from my very first ventures as a teen to CheapCaribbean, the company I built and sold with my husband over the course of fourteen years.  Today...

Today I wanted to share with you one of my most beautiful truths in life - I believe that beauty is a sacred doorway to so many things for us as women.  When I began to take the time to look for beauty that is present in the every day, so much shifted for me.  As a child who grew up at the end of the cold war in communist Poland, as a child who came to the United States as a refugee, this embrace...

Time is my most prized possession, and in this season of my life I treat it as such. It wasn’t  always that way. There were seasons when my life was so full that I hardly remember it. I was hardly present for it. I poured and poured my time into others and struggled to carve time out for myself.  Now? I see time as abundance. An empty calendar as a blessing. The ability to be fully present for the...

“Allow the nothingness to come up, because that is where you meet yourself.” For so much of my life I was focused on ‘doing’, but as I began to slow down and allow the opportunity of nothingness into my life, I was stunned to find what depth it brings.  It’s through the quiet that we find our connection with ourselves - the deepest connection that we can ever feel. And through imbuing that self-co...

What if you moved through life knowing that rain is coming.. but not rushing through the rain? What if you chose to walk through the rain knowing that the rainbow is always going to be on the other side? What if you asked the universe for that rainbow and stayed present through each moment of rain until the rainbow appeared?  How would that change our experience as we walk through this life?  One...

“For the experience of the greatest love of my life I had to be willing to risk to lose it all.”  I have been married for 30 years. It has been the most transformative container for growth that I have experienced in my life. One of my biggest lessons I’ve learned? You cannot control the behavior of your partner.  So many women I work with come to me with the same question: Now that I am on this jo...

“We can never get to the life that we want by not liking the life that we currently have.” For so long, I showed up in my life as a fighter. I was always ready for battle - and fighting life as it unfolded. I was manifesting life through a need to control the circumstances. It felt like a constant struggle, and eventually it became too exhausting.  I had to shift how I related to life itself. I sh...

I’ve always found joy in celebrating other people. I have poured myself into creating beautiful experiences for those I love and respect to show them how much I love them. Yet, when the tables were turned and people were celebrating me, I always felt a guilt ridden hint of disappointment.  This all changed on my 46th birthday when I made a big decision - I was going to celebrate myself. It was a d...

Female friendships were something I struggled with for so long due to betrayals and wounding I experienced when I was young. Yet, as I began to heal and soften into my feminine, female friendships finally began to feel safe. In these friendships I have been able to show up more authentically than ever before.  Lately, I’ve been noticing that this wounding in female friendships exists for so many s...

“As a woman, you are allowed to be angry.”  Our sacred feminine energy is not just limited to softness and tenderness. It is also important to embrace the feminine fire that lives within all of us. The sacred rage that burns in your chest that we have so often been told not to express.  It has a story to tell. It is the rage of the women who came before you, and your own personal rage for all of t...

My exploration into my feminine softness has been one of the most expansive journeys of my life.  For so long, I performed the role that society told me to play - a person who was hard, controlled, solid, concise and to the point. A person operating from the masculine. As time went by this began to feel so deeply constricting. I was not living in the fullness or completeness of who I was as a woma...

“I started to see that so often saying ‘yes’ to others was saying ‘no’ to myself.” I often ask women to tell me who they are without speaking about their jobs or their families.  This is an extremely hard question for women to answer.  The reason why is because our identities are so wrapped up in who we are for others. Through this focus outward we have lost track of who we truly are.  There is a...

“What if there was nothing wrong with you? What if there was nothing to fix? What if everything that hurt and felt broken was simply asking for your love and acceptance?” As little girls, the world is constantly telling us who to be. None of those messages encouraged us to be fully who we are. It caused such a fragmentation inside of me, a burying of so many pieces of my true self so that I could...

“If you want to attract an authentic tribe you have to be willing to take the risk of showing up in the truth of who you are.”  In my youth, as a new immigrant in New York City, I believed that belonging meant fitting in. I did everything I could to fit into this new and unfamiliar world. In doing so - I erased myself.  That was never true belonging.  Today I strive for true belonging. True belong...

“What would it look like if I dared to embody all of the aspects of who I am?”  Welcome to The Marta Hobbs Podcast. In today’s inaugural episode I’ll share the journey that brought me into this new and expansive space - a space where I will share my story with greater depth and honesty than I have before.  I also welcome you to this new space of sisterhood. A space where you too can unravel and re...
