Joyce Martyr is a licensed psychotherapist and CEO of Urban Balance. As a clinical professional counselor, she acknowledges that everyone compares their inner struggles to others’ external appearances, recognizing that all individuals have issues as part of the human condition.
Sharing personal experiences, Joyce reflects on her initial counseling sessions where her mother participated in discussions, and later, she focused on her ex-husband. It was only when a counselor encouraged her to introspect that her life began to change.
Emphasizing that emotions are a normal response to nature and nurture, Joyce advocates for seeking support, acknowledging that humans are not always perfect. Quoting Wayne Dyer, she stresses personal responsibility for decisions and choices.
The connection between self-worth and net worth is highlighted, with attention drawn to the importance of positive self-talk. Joyce believes that changing thinking can lead to changes in feelings and behaviors. In her view, true prosperity includes positive mental health, self-esteem, love, support, connected relationships, and financial wellness.
Addressing the mind-body-spirit connection, Joyce distinguishes the ego as the mind and individuals as the spirit, emphasizing the need for detachment from the ego for true success. She encourages vulnerability, authenticity, and equality among individuals.
According to Joyce, healthy self-esteem involves demonstrating respect for oneself and others. Using a metaphor of a record album, she suggests that worrying about the past or future scratches the record, and the only place to hear one’s music is in the present moment.
Acknowledging that everyone has their own struggles, Joyce emphasizes the shared human experience and the importance of seeking help. In conclusion, she promotes that being a work in progress is part of being human, and everyone can benefit from assistance.
