The one word to describe this episode is: raw. Marta has been through a lot and had her world turned upside down in her early twenties, a time where most of us are already adrift in the choppy seas of self-doubt. After a benign tumor required surgical removal of part of her lung at 21, Marta lost her mom just a couple years later, at 23. For obvious reasons, going through both of those things affected nearly every aspect of her life, from her psyche to her friendships and romantic relationships.  Marta spoke in-depth about the collateral damage that she spent most of her twenties trying to outrun. Part of the reason Marta is so treasured is because she’s a girl on the internet, but she’s so earnest, sincere, and accepting--which is insanely refreshing. She is an irl angel and brings warmth and empathy with her wherever she goes. Marta is the Co-founder of Dieux (@dieuxskin), an unbelievable skincare brand that I LOVE (and I promise I’m not just saying that…). Most recently she founded the Influencer seeding company Air Milkshake (@airmilkshake) and created cannabis companies Angel Therapy (@angeltherapy) and Shop Love Pot (@shoplovepot).Dieux SkinAngel Therapy Air Milkshake For more about the podcast and to continue our conversation, you can find me: https://www.instagram.com/jadeiovine/ Executive Producer Nick StumpfProduced by Catherine LawEdited and Engineered by Brandon Dickert Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
