How to overcome the martyr archetype in business

In this episode of Women Think Bigger, we explore the subtle but powerful “martyr archetype” that so many entrepreneurs fall into where overgiving, overworking, and self-sacrifice start to feel like the only path to success.

We talk about how this pattern shows up in business, why it can feel so tied to identity and worth, and what it actually takes to step out of it without losing ambition or impact. This is a conversation about reclaiming ease, redefining responsibility, and building from a place that doesn’t require depletion to feel successful.

If you’ve ever felt like your business only moves forward when you push yourself too far, this episode will help you see things differently and begin shifting the way you lead.

With love,

Sonia✨
