DONNA MARTIN
Rethinking the stories that shape how we live, work, react and perform.
I help individuals and teams understand the story behind their reaction—so they can choose what to do next through The Pause — Check — Reset Method™.

We don’t always react to the situation itself.
We react to the story we have created around it.
That story can shape how we feel, what we believe, what we say and what we do next.
But how often do we stop and question the story?

THE STORY BEHIND THE WORK
“You’re dead. We’re coming for you.”
I was in my twenties when I spent two years living through antisocial behaviour, fear and uncertainty.
I faced it alone.
Eventually, the police told me:
“You have no choice. You have to leave.”
I handed back my home.
I faced bankruptcy.
And I lost the life I thought I was building.

And I lost the life I thought I was building.
The hardest part wasn’t only losing my home. It was losing the life I thought I was building.
READ DONNA’S STORY →What happened was real.
But so were the stories my mind created when I didn’t know how everything would end.
I didn’t need someone to tell me to think positively.
I needed something practical that could help me understand the story, recognise the reaction and decide what I wanted to do next.
That became The Pause — Check — Reset Method™.
