With her PhD in sociology from Harvard University, Martha brings analytical rigor to her observations about the collective consciousness shift happening around us right now. In this illuminating conversation, she applies sociological frameworks to explain why she believes we're witnessing the emergence of a new global paradigm in real-time.
