Angie Martin
Angie, who loves soft spoken guided meditations and all things cozy, is not soft spoken at all! She is a big lover of coffee, hugs, cozy blankets and telling it like it is. She values friendship and connection as well as honesty and loyalty, while not being a huge fan of small talk. Angie has been married for 11 years and has two kiddos ages 7 and 4 as well as a fur baby, Hobie the Boxer (who has his own Insta account go follow him)! Angie has been a practicing attorney in the disability rights field for 11 years, although she recently left her day job in search of more joy and fulfillment - so she is currently focusing on discerning her next right thing. That said, she also runs her own business as a Certified Life Purpose and Leadership Coach, partnering mostly with mamas who are ready to let go of comparisonitis, shame, and guilt to start embracing their truest SELF so they can navigate this season of life in confidence and secure in who they are as Women, not just Moms.
Angie loves supporting mamas in her Facebook group, The Joy Village and planning ways for moms to come together to share and support one another. She is excited to now also be a contributor for Boston Moms Blog, so she can spread her message far and wide in the hopes of having a positive impact on as many moms as possible!
This Year, Do THIS Instead of Making New Year’s Resolutions
It is well known that New Year's resolutions seldom work out (80% of people do not keep them). So how about we consider something different for this year's transition from 2019 into 2020?
An Open Letter to the Ladies Who Sat Next To Us at a ‘Family-Friendly’...
See, things have changed a lot. Parents of young kids these days can be distracted — myself included. We have a lot going on, and technology and social media have created an additional burden on us despite all the ways they have made life easier. In part because of all the information we have available, we are constantly judging ourselves. Moms in particular struggle with comparing themselves and their parenting abilities to those of everyone they follow on Instagram or are friends with on Facebook.
Running to Break Through the Maternal Wall
We all have some version of a 10K in our lives. We all have a challenge ahead of us that we can use to break through the maternal wall. And we can shatter all the ideas out there that limit us as women who happen to also be moms. I hope my story will inspire you to find out what your 10K is and decide that you will get through it and come out stronger than when you started. I know you can.
