Starting over began for her in a Las Vegas apartment with one suitcase and a question she couldn't answer: Who am I? After a car accident that made front-page news and an abusive marriage, she fled on Mother's Day; she didn't know what she liked, what she wore, or what she wanted. If that blankness sounds familiar, it isn't brokenness — it's the space where you get to choose.

Martha Hoy, nurse, author of Becoming Mother Martha, and founder of the Mother Martha Family Foundation, shares how play, small steps, and facing old places rebuilt her. You'll leave with a first move for your own blank page.

Trauma recovery started for her in a hospital bed, staring at a white tile ceiling, setting one goal: walk to the mailbox. Years later, it meant running from an abusive marriage with a single suitcase, calling the orphan she'd sponsored 7,000 miles away, and hearing him say We will keep you safe. If you feel like a shell of yourself, that isn't weakness — it's what survival costs, and it rebuilds one day at a time.

Martha Hoy, nurse, author of Becoming Mother Martha, and founder of the Mother Martha Family Foundation, shows where rebuilding starts. You'll leave with a first step you can actually take.
