Small breaks with Emma Martiny

Emma Martiny knows firsthand the toll of a fast-paced life. She’s felt the burn of juggling too many responsibilities at once. But along the way, she’s discovered the power of small, self-care rituals—moments that help her recharge and keep her grounded. Here, she reveals her secrets for thriving as both a mother of young children and a career woman, all while staying true to herself.

Emma Martiny’s schedule is like a jigsaw puzzle with a thousand pieces. Every day demands a delicate balance of parenting, household chores, and a high-powered career.

So how does she manage all this without burning out?

“It’s a constant dance of adjusting and reprioritizing. Some days, I focus more on one thing than another, and that’s perfectly fine,” says Emma, admitting that she’s still searching for the elusive balance between work, family life, and self-care.

As an entrepreneur and influencer, she’s been guilty of saying "yes" to too many things and has learned the hard way about the consequences of overcommitting. Yet these moments of overwhelm have also given her valuable insights, guiding her through life with more wisdom.

“I’ve realized that if I want to live the life I dream of, I have to prioritize and take care of myself. It gives me the energy to be present for my kids and fully engaged in my work.”

Everyday Wellness

For Emma, escaping the hustle and bustle, even for just a brief moment, is essential for refuelling her energy. These moments of self-care have become her lifeline for handling a daily routine that constantly demands more than she has to give.

She’s found ways to integrate wellness into her everyday life by incorporating movement, choosing nourishing foods, and allowing things to unfold at a more natural pace. While she often talks about the joy of slow mornings and the revitalizing effects of a cold swim in the sea, it’s the small, accessible actions that truly speak to her heart—those tiny moments of care that anyone can make room for in their day.

Emma reflects on how self-care—what she calls “everyday wellness”—often seems out of reach for many. We tend to create unrealistic expectations about what it takes to bring a little extra well-being into our lives.

“There’s rarely time for an entire morning of yoga or a full spa day. But I try to find joy in the simplest things, like using an indulgent cream before bed,” she explains.

In everything Emma Martiny shares, her message is clear: wellness and self-care aren’t reserved for those with ample time and money. They can be woven into everyday life, no matter who you are or where you are in your journey.

Breathers and Japanese Matcha Tea

One of Emma’s go-to rituals for finding peace in her busy days is taking walks with her business partner, Nana. They brew a matcha to-go at the office and take a scenic route on their way home. It’s a perfect opportunity to get some fresh air, stretch their legs, and chat about both the big and small things in life.

“I try to carve out little pockets of downtime when I’m traveling from one place to another,” Emma says, adding:

“Whether it’s walking or cycling, I always opt for the slower route with the nice view, even if it takes an extra 10 minutes. It gives me time to breathe and reset.”

Matcha tea isn’t just something Emma Martiny brews to make the walk sweeter; it’s become an essential part of her daily routine. The vibrant green Japanese tea offers a moment of mindfulness in the midst of her busy schedule.

“Making matcha the traditional way only takes about five minutes. But instead of zoning out and letting my mind race, I focus on being fully present and mindful during the process,” Emma explains.

Simple Solutions on the Go

Healthy habits don’t have to be grand gestures or massive lifestyle changes. Forget about marathon goals—often, it’s the small, daily actions that make the biggest difference.

Something as simple as carrying a stylish water bottle or thermos has become a practical, yet enjoyable, part of Emma’s daily routine—especially when her schedule is jam-packed.

“My thermos is always with me—it’s an absolute lifesaver when I’m constantly on the move,” she says.

A reusable water bottle is not only convenient, but it also helps you avoid impulsive purchases of single-use plastics.
