Writing Black Joy

Jun 28 2023 • 55 mins

Today I have with me Soribel Martinez and let me tell you she is a powerhouse. Her personality is infectious and we had an amazing conversation about her book Unbreakable. Let me tell you a bit about her.

Soribel Martínez is a Licensed Clinical Psychotherapist, is the CEO of SMPSychotherapy and Counseling Services, business coach and consultant, public speaker, adjunct professor of Psychology at Post University, a Doctor of Social Work candidate at Walden University, and the founder of JC's Precious Minds Foundation

Soribel has faced her share of challenges as a Dominican-American immigrant, from navigating school in her second language, recovering from religious trauma, losing a child, facing multiple brain aneurysms, and all of the usual heartbreak women face.

In Unbreakable, Soribel guides you to reconnect with your Creator, figure out exactly what you want, and then take massive, inspired action toward your goals.

Soribel and I discuss

  • The importance of a marketing plan
  • Ideas around legacy, and the dreams that we have that we may not see come to fruition in our lifetime - and her incredible wisdom around this.
  • How a diagnosis shifted her life
  • Her journey with English as a second language, and how she came to write her book in English
  • Her writing routine/process and how she leaned into support during writing and publishing her book
  • How she used social media while writing and publishing
  • Acknowledging the experiences in your life and working through those feelings as you move into joy and becoming unbreakable
  • Including others in your story
  • Being prepared for speaking our stories out loud during launching - especially if we are more comfortable writing than speaking.
  • How you are the best person to market your book
  • Her foundation that supports mothers with special needs in the Dominican republic
  • Pillars of business success that she included in her book unbreakable
  • Details of her next book

And so much more

I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did.
