Sex, Power and Transformation with Marcia Martin
What if true transformation requires the complete dissolution of who you think you are?
In this powerful and deeply expansive conversation, Elaine Starling is joined by legendary transformational leader Marcia Martin, author of Sex, Power, and Transformation, to explore consciousness, power, perspective, and the real nature of human change.

This episode invites you to release judgment, reclaim your inner authority, and step into a higher level of awareness where abundance becomes your natural state.
If you’re ready to see your life—and yourself—through a lens that actually works, this conversation will shift you forever.
