Episode 53 ~ Lipoedema Warrior Justine Martin
Resilience embodies the ability to quickly recover from challenges and display toughness, a principle that has been central to Justine’s remarkable journey over the past decade. This journey has fundamentally transformed her for the better, and Justine leverages her experiences of overcoming significant adversities, including a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis, three heart surgeries, three simultaneous primary cancers, living with lipoedema and mast cell activation sydnrome, to foster resilience in others.
In 2011, facing a prognosis that threatened to end her career, Justine chose defiance. She propelled herself into the business world, reshaping her life with purpose and direction while inspiring those around her. Her foray into painting, using art as therapy, led to her recognition as a multi-award-winning artist, underpinning her determination to master her financial destiny.
Today, Justine heads five enterprises: JUZT Art, Resilience Mindset, Morpheus Publishing, Geelong Residential Cleaners, and Justine Martin Speaker, all consolidated under the Justine Martin Corporation. Her efforts have earned her over 50 national business award nominations from 2021 to 2024, winning 17, including Coach of the Year, Creative Artist of the Year, Geelong Business Leader of the Year and Top 10 Voices International Women’s Business Club plus many more.
Justine’s roles as a resilience and transformation coach, international keynote speaker,
professional artist, teacher, best-selling author, and publisher showcase her multi-faceted approach to resilience. Her advocacy extends into raising awareness for lipoedema, further highlighting her commitment as a cancer survivor, MS warrior, domestic violence survivor, and disability advocate. Justine is a mother of two, grandmother of seven, and truly the Queen of Resilience.
