Ep03 | You Don't Need Another Training or Certification -- Here's Why

If you’ve been thinking: “Maybe if I just get one more certification, I’ll finally feel confident…” — this episode is your wake-up call.

In this bold, truth-packed episode, Dr. Onaysia Martinez — physical therapist turned identity liberation coach — exposes the hidden pressure high-achieving, first-gen Latinas face to constantly prove themselves through degrees, certifications, and titles… even when they’ve already done the most.

She unpacks why we chase the next training instead of addressing the deeper misalignment beneath it — and what it really takes to feel successful, fulfilled, and proud of who you are without another piece of paper.

✨ In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why constantly chasing “the next level” is a trauma response, not ambition

• How we tie our self-worth to achievements — and how to untangle it

• What to do when your resume is stacked, but your soul still feels off

• Why true freedom starts when you stop trying to prove and start choosing purpose

If you’ve ever asked yourself:
🔎 “Should I get another certification?”

🔎 "How can I level up in my career?"
🔎 “How do I stop feeling like I’m not enough in my career?”
🔎 “Why am I still unhappy even though I’m successful?” —
Then this episode was made for you.
