Breaking Cycles, Building Futures with Dr. Onaysia Martinez

What if the life you worked so hard to build quietly became a cage? We sit down with Dr. Onaysia Martinez —first in her family to earn a doctorate, the only Latina in her graduating class—to unpack how “success without fulfilment” pushed her to trade a white coat and four clinic walls for a bigger stage, a bolder voice, and a legacy built on alignment rather than optics.

We trace her Dominican and Puerto Rican roots, the dual expectations that shaped her drive, and the moment she named her philosophy: rebelle-ution. It isn’t rebellion for rebellion’s sake; it’s the evolution that happens when you honour the sacrifices of your elders by moving beyond the limits they had to accept. Dr. Martinez shares how she reframed selfishness, launched The Selfish Snob podcast, and distilled her coaching into the BOLD method—Break limiting narratives, Own a clear vision, Lean into your future self, and Dominate indecision with action. Along the way, we dig into identity shifts at new levels of responsibility, why stability is often a myth, and how perfectionism masquerades as excellence while quietly delaying impact.
