Just had ny bday PRE-CELEBRATION (actual bday is Dec 23) with 3 of my favorite people in the world ❤️ it was fun and delightful, lots of laughter and joy. What a way to wrap up the week as we get ready to travel to Mexico for our December break, it feels so DIVINE 🤗

Delight was my word of the year, and tho I resisted it at times, it feels like I understood the assignment ☺️

What did you this week that brought you delight? 🥳

LET’S BRING THE 🔥🔥🔥 to your luxury brand 🙌🏽

I haven't posted here in ages but I am back to chat about my upcoming workshop series.

If you have been thinking of working with me on your rebrand this is a great opportunity to see my process and get to know me

I believe that you're worthy of having a luxury brand and I know a lot of you cannot afford working with me one on one right now because it is a five figure investment.

So I created this workshops to make my process and my framework accessible to you.

I want to give you access, so you can ask any of your brand related questions.

I'm so excited to help you build your luxury brand.

Come and join me and become the Cartier of your industry.

With fire and grace,
Martha

What was the gift?

Sometimes things don’t go our way…

Sometimes disappointing things happen…

Sometimes the reality doesn’t match our expectations.

And yes, it’s ok to feel all the feels and let them out, it’s ok to not be ok…

But I’ve noticed that because of my inherent positive nature ( #2 on my Clifton Strengths ☺️) I always look for a silver lining.

Recently I thought about all the things that didn’t go my way and what was the gift in them.

Here are some examples:
1 - after 4 months of interviews with Cartier Mexico, I didn’t get the coveted role they had called me in for.

The gift? I got to move to NYC, met some of the people I love the most, found coaching, found my purpose, and my incredible partner ❤️

2 - I got accepted at an amazing company to be their marketing manager, it turned out to be 12h long days, a lot of stress, and no team to support us (me and my director)

The gift?
Created great friendships, opened 5 restaurants and learned so much about the industry, and one of my ex-coworkers met one of my besties and they are now happily married and living a life they loved.
And I grew so much in this role that I was invited to another company right after to do the same but with a team! ❤️❤️❤️

3 - I got furloughed, then laid of from my first jewelry industry job, where I lead marketing for an amazing manufacturer. It was sad, because I loved the people I worked around and what I was creating l

The gift?
I started my own company, working on my own terms and creating magic for amazing people I respect and admire deeply. I wouldn’t be here writing this message today, if I hadn’t jumped.

There is always a gift. It’s in us to find it ❤️

What I learned from 30 days on Clubhouse with

1. Always be prepared - whatever your version of prepared looks like - be READY! For me is a short list of:
Topic
Main takeaway
Points to touch
Questions to ask

2. You can be the best YOU, don’t try to be a good SOMEONE ELSE
It would be pointless for me to try to be like Chris, Jule, or Lola. I am better of being the best Martha Cristina around. It’s cheesy but I know is true.

3. People > Outlines
Some of my calls went to a completely different direction, like when my brother told his testimonial, and it was OK because I am more interested in being present and of service than following a plan.

4. Be open to trying something new
I deeply believe that stories are the best way to learn lessons, however this month I tried new ways of doing rooms, I was open, did research and chose topics that were different or new, I did it with an open mind.

5. Be ready to be challenged and have an open mind
I loved hearing perspectives that were sometimes opposed to mine, and also challenging some of the ideas shared, it was enriching.

6. Focus on brining value
I respected our audience so much that my #1 goal was to make a call packed of gold nuggets, we prepared researched, read, and I am a better and smarter human for it.

7. Make it cozy & conversational , BUT add some structure
I love how magical and engaging the rooms felt, I loved that my rooms where the stickiest (not so humble brag lol) but I love that I was able to add more structure and order to them. I used to think that structure would make the room sterile, it’s the opposite, it makes it richer.

I am very thankful to Chris for his generosity and it was a month where I learned and grew so much.

And I am so glad that I got to hang out with both .co and and that I got to meet both in person by traveling to their cities, talk about perfect timing ❤️🙌🏽

What have been your biggest takeaways from Clubhouse? What other topics would you like me to talk about?

Excited to keep going.

With fire & grace,
Martha

But I don’t like to listen to myself!! ❤️✨

Last week I was chatting with my friend about how we didn’t like our voices or are so judgy to ourselves when we speak in public.

Then my friend .co joined the conversation and we chatted how being told we were too loud (Lola and me), or too quiet (Jule) or too [insert mean comment that was not constructive] as kids lingered and held us back before, we also shared how we are not playing like that anymore and we are committed to showing up FULLY ❤️

I have a confession - I didn’t listen to the first 3-5 interviews and podcasts I was featured in, I told them I trust their judgement and they can go and publish! 🤣 and when I listened - I listed for the mistakes, or the moments where “I could have done BETTER”.

Last month, I was part of ’s Mindset Reboot Conference and it was the first time that I listened to myself be interviewed - and I was present, being grace and with an open heart. I connected with the people commenting live, I cried with joy for the growth I saw in myself.

Was it perfect? No.

Was it impactful? Yes.

Here is the thing: We never know the impact our stories will have on others, that our presence will bring to others, and the joy and warmth our laughter will bring.

Yesterday in the room with and .co (Lola) we left with an ask.

My ask to the listeners was to go live, or share a video in their channels this week - embrace the suck, and focus on giving value, showing up fully, and connecting. If you do take me up for it, feel free to send it to me or tag me.

What is the world missing because of your silence?

With fire and grace,

Martha

Create a brand that will turn people away. 🛑 ✋🏽

You might be reading this and think, Martha, are you crazy? 👀🤪

I am trying to get clients not push people in the opposite direction… 🤦🏻‍♀️

Yes, yes, I know.

But part of creating a magnetic brand is the repelling aspect of it…

Which means you will attract the people that are the right fit 🧲

And push away the people that are not 🙅🏻‍♀️

Now you must be thinking - cool Martha has sounds great, but do I have to be an a**hole to repel people? How do we do that???

We do it by being really clear:
✨ In what you believe in
✨ In what you stand for
✨ In what you champion
✨ on who your people are and who they are not

By setting clear expectations and giving clarity in your offers and titles

I see so many people choosing clever over clear. The problem is - a confused buyer does not buy does not buy.

So am I asking you to find your haters?

Yep.

Would that actually be of service?

Yep.

The clearer you are with who you don't work with ➡️ The clear the right people will find you. 🙌🏽

Trying to serve everyone is not the key. 🔑

You can push people away with kindness.

You're actually doing them a disservice if you tell them you can help and it turns out that you can't! 🙇🏻‍♀️

So, Start repelling them today. 💁🏻‍♀️

The talent - me 💁🏻‍♀️🤣

Happy birthday 🎉🎉🎉

Two weeks ago, I was lucky to find Yelle at the dance floor at Daybreaker.

It was my first Daybreaker in over a year. 💃🏻

And I couldn't believe that I saw her in the crowd!! 👀 🌟

We both met online through our amazing friend Shay () and have partnered up to do a really cool branding project together using my BRAND STRATEGY FRAMEWORK as the starting point for a client of her (and Drea’s - ) company - .creative.company ❤️❤️❤️🌟

But I had never met her in person!!!
(Covid life and all)

And I loved bumping into her in my first real in person event since the pandemic hit❤️🎉🙌🏽

Here is the thing - We never know when our best projects are going to start or where our best collaborators are going to be.

So, What if you were open to seeing possibility every day?

How would your day change?

How would your business change?

I believe that when we are open to possibility there is so much more joy and abundance.

God - More of this please!!!!

PS. Talk about alignment in who you work with 🎉❤️ we were both at the same party!!!! Wooohooo!!
