    2025/05/22

    Ever looked around at your life and thought… is this really it? You’ve got it all, your career, your family — but deep down, you’re still searching for more. More joy. More time for you.

    And worse? You feel guilty for even thinking it.

    In this episode of The Selfish Snob, Dr. Onaysia Martinez — identity liberation + catalyst coach — unpacks why high-achieving women feel stuck even after “making it,” and how to stop letting external validation dictate your worth.

    If you’ve ever said: 🔎 “I want more, but I feel selfish even thinking about it” 🔎 “I don’t know who I am outside of my job and accomplishments” 🔎 “I’m scared to want something different — what will people think?”

  • Ep16 | The American Dream Was Never Yours Queen—Time To Build Your Own
    2025/05/15
    Burned Out by the American Dream? Reclaim Your Purpose & Redefine Success on Your Terms

    Ever checked every box — the job, the degree, the salary — and still felt burned out, disconnected, and lowkey miserable?

    In this raw and unapologetic episode of The Selfish Snob Podcast, Latina life coach and identity liberation mentor Dr. Onaysia Martinez calls out the toxic blueprint of the so-called “American Dream” and how it keeps high-achieving first-gen women trapped in cycles of self-doubt, overachievement, and emotional burnout.

    This is the episode for the woman who looks “successful” on paper, but secretly feels like she’s suffocating.

    You’ll walk away with:
    • The truth about why the “safe and stable” path is not the same as purpose

    • What high-functioning burnout actually looks like in women of color (spoiler: it’s not always exhaustion)

    • How to shift your mindset from survival mode to self-actualization

    • What it really takes to build a life and business rooted in alignment, freedom, and personal development

    • Why choosing yourself isn’t selfish — it’s revolutionary

    If you’ve been searching podcasts for: 🔎 “How to find my purpose” 🔎 “Latina life coach podcast” 🔎 “Burnout recovery for high achievers” 🔎 “How to leave a job that no longer aligns” 🔎 “Mindset shifts for first-gen women” …this is the episode you didn’t know you needed.

    You were never meant to just survive. You were born to lead — in your life, your legacy, and your liberation.

    Sis, when’s the last time you came first?

    If you’ve been out here managing everyone else’s chaos—holding the family down, chasing the dream, showing up for everyone but yourself—this episode of The Selfish Snob is your sacred interruption.

    Dr. Onaysia Martinez gets real about the emotional storm of moving states, launching a major challenge, and still having to show up while lowkey falling apart. This isn’t a highlight reel—it’s a reality check, a release, and a reclaiming.

    ✨ It’s the episode every high-achieving, emotionally exhausted, purpose-hungry Latina didn’t know she needed. And it hits deep.

    You’ll get into:

    • The real difference between self-soothing and self-honoring
    • A weekly ritual to drop the weight you’ve been carrying—spiritually, emotionally, generationally
    • Why ancestral expectations are fueling your burnout more than your busy calendar
    • How to actually start living for yourself—not your abuela’s legacy, not your job title, not your degree

    If you’ve ever asked yourself: 🔎 “How do I stop overextending and pour into me?” 🔎 “Is there a way to give back to myself without disappointing my family?” 🔎 “Can I be soft, sacred, and still show up like a boss?”

    💌 P.S. Doors to The R.E.B.E.L. Reunion™ open soon—formerly Path to Purpose, this is your new go-to space to release who you were told to be and return to the woman beneath the surface. Join the waitlist before it fills up, only 2 spots available.
