At LH, we love sharing the stories of women behind brands they have dreamt of, founded, and built. These are the women who bring companies to life\u2014women who are living, working, creating, inspiring, raising families, and more. In <a href=\"https:\/\/lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/tag\/the-women-of\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Women of \u2026<\/a> series, we delve into the minds and worlds of these women to share their empowering and uplifting thoughts and stories. Up now, Marta Hobbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Self-love, manifestation, and abundance mentality are the cornerstone of Marta Hobbs&#8217;s outlook on life and business success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Born in Szczecin, Poland, Marta and her family emigrated to the United States as political refugees when she was just thirteen years old. Her relentless pursuit of &#8220;the American Dream&#8221; guided her journey in building her business, healing her trauma, and now empowering other women through her luxury soul-guided retreats. (If you want in, <a href=\"https:\/\/martahobbs.com\/retreats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the next one is May 5, 2024<\/a>!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read on for our exclusive interview with Marta Hobbs and learn more about her inspiring story, commitment to helping others, and how she brings radical self-love and spirituality to the business world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-meet-marta-hobbs-the-inspiring-author-mentor-entrepreneur-amp-host-of-luxury-soul-led-retreats\"><strong><em>Meet Marta Hobbs\u2014The Inspiring Author, Mentor, Entrepreneur, &amp; Host of Luxury Soul-led Retreats<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Marta-Hobbs-portrait-book.webp\" alt=\"marta hobbs\" class=\"wp-image-98254\" style=\"width:710px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-when-did-your-love-affair-with-self-love-begin-and-how-did-it-make-you-feel\"><strong>When did your love affair with self-love begin? And how did it make you feel?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My love affair with self-love began when I understood that this is the key to abundance and manifestation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Love was always important to me and at the center of who I was and what I stood for. For so long,<br>however, I was focused on loving others well and doing loving things for my family, friends, employees, business partners, and colleagues\u2014generating love outside of myself and &#8220;DOING&#8221; love. The one person I wasn\u2019t looking after while caring for others was me. And so, I often felt not loved enough, not quite loved right, or the way I wanted it to look and feel like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It took a long time to understand that the most important place to start, is loving myself; that filling my own love tank was MY job. Cultivating love within and &#8220;BEING&#8221; love allowed me to simply pour out from an overflow and share love with others without expectations, needs or pressure. I was already full\u2014my cup overflowed actually\u2014now I just wanted to share it. Through self-love, I became love itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This becomes the sacred gateway to full abundance and a life of true luxury because it simply becomes your identity. Love is who you are\u2014it is your essence, your core. Once we remember this truth, we become a magnet for anything and everything we desire. Becoming the abundance you seek in your external world on the inside first allows you to tap into the limitless, boundless, and endless love of God, the Universe, Source, Mother Nature, and Spirit\u2014Divine Love itself. And once you embody that connection and live out of that identity, there is nothing that you can\u2019t have, be, or do. The external world begins to reflect your internal state\u2014like a mirror. Abundance within (which is love) manifests in the physical world. It\u2019s pretty incredible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tell-us-a-bit-about-your-path-and-what-led-to-your-decision-to-start-marta-hobbs-the-brand\"><strong>Tell us a bit about your path and what led to your decision to start Marta Hobbs, the brand.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My path to starting Marta Hobbs, the brand, began with a crisis. A crisis which came at a very unlikely time in my life\u2014just when I achieved everything I ever wanted. At 38, I retired a multi-millionaire, having sold a business I built and ran with my husband for 14 years. We had just moved to Paris, a place I always dreamed of living, happily married with two beautiful kids. From the outside, it was the perfect life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The moment the company sold and made me financially secure for the rest of my life\u2014rather than<br>celebration and &#8220;happily ever after,&#8221; I found burnout, a health crisis, and paralyzing anxiety. While I had<br>achieved everything I had been dreaming of and pursuing, a sense of disappointment, confusion, and emptiness came over me, and I started wondering if there was more to life. &#8220;Who am I?&#8221; I began asking, &#8220;If I am not the company owner, COO, and the trailblazing entrepreneur?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was when I finally stopped racing, chasing, hurrying, being busy, and embraced stillness, silence, and solitude that I started to connect to the inner world\u2014my soul\u2014my authentic self.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While my health issues and exhaustion forced me to spend a lot of time in bed and cancel most of my social life in the City of Light, I wondered, &#8220;Who am I when I\u2019m not able to be the perfect mother, wife, friend I have always strived for being?&#8221; It was when I finally stopped racing, chasing, hurrying, being busy, and embraced stillness, silence, and solitude that I started to connect to the inner world\u2014my soul\u2014my authentic self. I had lost her along the way\u2014in the pursuit of my goals. She was the price I paid for my success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This journey, which turned into a decade of healing, self-discovery, inner work, learning, mastery, and a<br>deeply spiritual path transformed into what I now share with others (leaders and entrepreneurs)\u2014identity work. Who are you when you\u2019re not DOING but simply BEING? When you sell your business, quit your job, find yourself an empty nester, no longer married, or suffer the loss of a loved one\u2014when the role(s) you have been using to identify yourself suddenly get taken away\u2014who are you then? We often get lost in the work that we do, completely becoming our brand, and once it turns into a large, successful company\u2014this causes problems. There is no room to breathe. There are no boundaries\u2014you are the business. There is pressure, financial strains, and expectations\u2014a lot more is at stake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just like a co-dependent marriage, a company completely dependent on you will crush you because it is simply not sustainable\u2014the way you started vs the way you continue at the next level. It takes a pivot, a transformation, that most people can\u2019t make because it asks of them to let go of everything that\u2019s gotten them to this point\u2014individuation and a complete identity shift. So the solution usually becomes to do more of the old, and do it harder, and that ends in burnout or health issues (or both!). That certainly was the case for me and the &#8220;side hustle&#8221; we started, which turned into a business generating $2.5 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/marta-hobbs-paris.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-98250\" style=\"width:710px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/marta-hobbs-paris.webp 1920w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/marta-hobbs-paris-1536x1024.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, I reconnect successful women and busy entrepreneurs with their hearts. I teach balance between the doing and the being, the masculine and the feminine energetics, and I come along their side as a mentor, confidante, and companion. Providing powerful leaders with a safe space to release the everyday stresses and complexities of leadership at a high level (rather than repressing parts of themselves) allows them to expand their capacity to lead more effectively, hold more, and show up fully in their power, accessing new ways of being and leading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I teach from my life experience\u2014what to do but also what NOT to do\u2014and because of the size of business I built I also have the opportunity to stretch those who work with me in terms of what\u2019s possible. My mentorship is a guaranteed experience of expansion\u2014just by being in my energy and having access to the wisdom I have to share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-we-love-the-sound-of-your-luxury-retreats-why-did-you-decide-to-offer-these-who-are-they-designed-for-what-makes-them-unique\"><strong>We love the sound of your Luxury Retreats; why did you decide to offer these? Who are they designed for? What makes them unique?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/martahobbs.com\/retreats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Meet Me in Paris<\/a>&#8221; luxury retreats are the offering from my heart\u2014I adore this work! They are designed for women in leadership or busy female entrepreneurs\u2014much like I was a decade ago when everything crashed. These retreats are a way to disconnect from the everyday, often chaotic lives and all the doing, pursuing, and succeeding and spend three days with me in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our time together is about luxury, elegance, wealth, pleasure, and beauty, but all rooted in SoulCare, self-care, and self-love. I invite the women who join me to slow down, relax, and savor the extraordinary events I have personally curated, thanks to my VIP relationships in Paris\u2014to fully experience them while being truly present in every detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I want the women who attend to really notice what happens when they allow themselves the time to soften, to open, and to receive\u2014surrounded by all this beauty, very often, we start to notice that it is simply a mirror to the beauty within.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We stay at the five-star Four Seasons George V and spend a full day at Dior\u2014exploring the beauty of the flagship store, its museum and restaurant as well as some surprises only available through my retreat. We take a private cruise on the Seine River, have a glamorous make-up session and an unforgettable photo shoot by the Eiffel Tower, and end the day with High Tea at the Ritz Paris. We visit my favorite spa for massages and wellness treatments and take a special tour of the City of Light. Of course, we eat some delicious, gorgeous meals together and enjoy a toast of champagne or two!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I want the women who attend to really notice what happens when they allow themselves the time to soften, to open, and to receive\u2014surrounded by all this beauty, very often, we start to notice that it is simply a mirror to the beauty within. It is hard for my clients to take the time way, for themselves, and each time they are so grateful as they reconnect to the passion that fuels what they do in the every-day life. They leave completely new women re-entering their lives with a newfound love and energy\u2014for what they do, but most importantly, for who they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-do-you-consider-your-greatest-achievement-to-date\"><strong>What do you consider your greatest achievement to date?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The family I have created together with my husband\u2014our two (now adult) children\u2014and the love that flows, grows, and deepens amongst us. Of course, it all stems from the family I came from\u2014a kid who grew up in communist Poland, lived surrounded by fear, and fled her homeland with her parents and sister for safety and political asylum in the United States. It was a rough start to life. It got even rougher in those early years in the USA as a refugee teenager, not speaking any English, being beaten and bullied after school while my parents worked double jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But somehow love got us through it\u2014holding the four immigrants looking for freedom, and later holding the four of my family now through all of what we faced together. Love also held me while I did the deep work of trauma healing from my childhood wounds, CPTSD, and all the pain I carried in my body. It really is amazing how powerful love can be\u2014when I didn\u2019t think I could face another day because the hurt I was facing, holding, processing, and releasing was so intense, it was the love for my kids that got me through. I truly believe it is the force behind everything we do in life\u2014so I\u2019m most proud of how that is something I will one day leave behind through my family\u2014the legacy of love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bykoket.com\/guilty-pleasures\/casegoods\/fleur-nightstand.php?utm_source=LH_Blog_article&amp;utm_medium=banner&amp;utm_campaign=Banner_Article&amp;utm_content=fleur_nightstand\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/ext-campaign\/article\/kk-fleur-nightstand-750.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:500px\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-if-you-could-have-done-something-different-what-would-it-be\"><strong>If you could have done something different, what would it be?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Absolutely nothing. Everything I have done, everything I have gone through, everything beautiful and everything painful that I have experienced is what got me here. It all needed to happen exactly how it happened in order for me to become the woman I am today and for my life to be what it is today\u2014a masterpiece. I am thankful for every incredible and heartbreaking moment. And I am proud of the younger versions of myself for showing up for it all\u2014to get me to this point in my journey. I embrace it all, and I embrace all parts of who I was, who I am, and who I am becoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-who-is-marta-hobbs-the-woman\"><strong>Who is Marta Hobbs, the Woman?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She is a fierce, powerful, fearless trailblazer who is also soft, gentle, and tender. She is a wise, warm, and grounding presence. She is love embodied. She is quick, bright, intelligent\u2014an entrepreneur and a pioneer. She is inspiring, charismatic, and magnetic. She is no-nonsense and speaks her truth. She\u2019s a deep thinker and has a strong spiritual connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She craves silence, stillness, and solitude. She contemplates. She writes. She craves intimate connections with others and being around people she loves. She is a safe woman for other women. She is home for those who love fully. She is a soul-embodied woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She is beauty, feminine energy, and an incredible business-woman, a confident leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She is elegant, luxurious, and graceful. She is sensitive, sensual, and a helpless romantic<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She is a mother, a daughter, a wife, a sister, a friend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She loves Paris but needs time in nature, at the beach. She lives life by her own rhythm, honoring her own seasons, here to experience all of what life has to offer\u2014the immense pleasure and the horrible pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She is anything she chooses to become\u2014and right now, that is an author, an entrepreneur, a mentor and confidante, a public speaker and host of retreats, and the founder and teacher of SoulCare. She\u2019s not afraid to shed old skins, embrace the unknown, and rebirth herself when the soul calls her to a new adventure. She loves to travel, wear beautiful clothes, fill her home with fresh flowers, and her journals with good stories and powerful reflections. She loves to love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is Marta Hobbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1500\" data-id=\"98252\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/marta-hobbs-portrait-indoors.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-98252\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1500\" data-id=\"98251\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/marta-hobbs-portrait-pose.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-98251\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-empowers-you\"><strong>What empowers you?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I empower myself\u2014but not from an ego place of thinking I am better than others. I empower myself by knowing who I am\u2014the soul having a human experience. If I am an extension of the abundant and limitless God\/Universe\u2014then I am powerful by nature; it is my essence, my core. The trick is just remembering this truth. Most of the time, love is the vehicle that helps me remember. So, I guess it is LOVE that empowers me in the end. The answer is always love, it seems\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-when-women-invest-in-other-women-we-all-rise-together-do-you-have-any-specific-thoughts-about-women-working-together\"><strong>When women invest in other women, we all rise together. Do you have any specific thoughts about women working together?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am so proud of us doing the work. I really am in awe of how many women I see and meet every day who are committed to growth, evolution, change, and creating the reality they know they deserve\u2014bettering their own lives and the lives of others from the inside out. I love how many women are healing generational trauma and offering brighter futures to their kids. I love how we are healing at the root, remembering our own divinity, committing to doing meaningful work, living soul-led, and holding both wealth and power. It\u2019s such an incredible time to be alive to witness women doing all of this!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The feminine heals in community.

So what I would say to all the women doing the work\u2014join forces. Stop the competing, comparing, and out-doing each other. The next thing we have to tackle is the sisterhood wound\u2014individual and collective. Because standing together shoulder-to-shoulder, cheering each other on, pulling one another up, supporting every woman we encounter along the path\u2014if we do that\u2014we would truly be unstoppable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The goal now is to remember not just our own divinity but each other\u2019s as well. To see one another fully in our power and not need to be the one who shines the brightest, to not need others to dim their light so that we feel powerful. I want to see a new kind of sisterhood emerge\u2014where we are a safe space for each other\u2014with open hearts, gentleness, and compassion\u2014where we always see the best in each other, where we forgive, have difficult conversations, where we love fully and remind one another of how sacred, powerful and beautiful we each are. And how our authenticity is what is needed\u2014not carbon copies of others around us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-s-next-for-marta-hobbs\"><strong>What\u2019s next for Marta Hobbs?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If abundance is my essence, then anything is possible! How do I decide?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These days, I let life lead me, accepting and welcoming what comes rather than forcing my own agenda. Having said that, I do have a vision, but I am open to how I get there. I trust life. I trust that I am held, supported, and guided. I\u2019d like to help more women and impact many. I hope my best-selling book &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Unraveling-Womans-Search-Freedom-Journey\/dp\/B0BVDYCSFQ\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Unraveling<\/a>&#8221; sells a million copies. I hope to talk about my journey on Oprah. I hope my story becomes a film. While I am manifesting that, I\u2019ll continue running my retreats in Paris and add new ones in Saint Barths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">South of France retreat is coming in October 2024, and I plan on doing more in-person events\u2014like dinners in small groups in Paris, Miami, and New York\u2014the places I live or visit often. I also plan on continuing offering my SoulCare Meditations in luxury spas worldwide\u2014my partnership with Four Seasons hotels expanding. I will offer more in Paris besides retreats\u2014VIP Days and special Christian Dior themed tours. Lastly, I hope to do more public speaking so that my message can reach a broader audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-explore-more-marta-hobbs\"><strong>Explore more <a href=\"https:\/\/martahobbs.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Marta Hobbs<\/a>!<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Curation by Anna Beck, Copyediting by Bridget Kitson<br>All Photos Courtesy of Marta Hobbs<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-more-to-love\"><strong><em><mark style=\"background-color:#ffffff\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-purple-color\">More to Love!<\/mark><\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/category\/interviews-profiles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Meet More Inspiring Women<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The power of another person&#8217;s story can be oh-so-powerful!
