Her unique blend of scientific expertise and passion for empowerment and sustainability has positioned her as a global influencer in the field of personal development.

Throughout her career, Martie has received numerous awards for her contributions to her field.

In addition to these accolades Martie joined with celebrated International Author & World Peace Ambassador Mia Cara, and have united to inspire courage, kindness, and unity across the globe. Together, they are building a legacy of resilience and peace through books, podcasts, affirmations, and storytelling initiatives that uplift children, families, and communities.

From Martie’s acclaimed works—including Creative Chaos Warrior, 100 Voices of Women, and Martie’s Spark: Tales of Courage and Adventure—to Mia’s global authorship, peace advocacy, and ambassadorial leadership, this dynamic duo is sparking a movement that bridges generations. Their shared vision comes to life through the Tiny Sparks Baby Podcast, the new Tiny Sparks Shine Bright Affirmations, and their playful educational characters: Mini Martie & Mini Mia.
Through Mini Martie & Mini Mia, children around the world learn that resilience and peace begin at a young age — and ripple across generations.

“Resilience and peace go hand in hand,” say Martie and Mia. “Our mission is to light sparks of courage and kindness that will guide children, families, and communities for years to come.”
