Power. Purpose. Legacy.
The Martinez Collective began as a promise to create spaces that restore power. What started as late-night conversations between Natalie and Chris about purpose and possibility evolved into a brand dedicated to building legacy through love, creativity, and courage.
It is a lifestyle and leadership brand co-founded by Natalie and Chris Martinez. Together, they merge strategy, creativity, and authenticity to help people lead well, live fully, and create with purpose.
Through a suite of integrated studios, the Collective brings together consulting, retreats, and community — all designed to inspire transformation and connection.

Co-Founder, The Martinez Collective
Natalie Martinez is a strategist, coach, and truth-teller who creates spaces where women can rise without shrinking themselves. With nearly two decades of leadership experience, she brings a grounded, no-nonsense approach to growth, clarity, and self-reinvention. At The Martinez Collective, Natalie designs experiences and conversations that help women break through the noise, confront what’s holding them back, and step into the version of themselves they’ve always known was possible.
Her work is rooted in realness — the same realness that she and Chris live by. While her primary focus is on elevating women, Natalie is also beginning to explore how deeper allyship and cross-gender work can strengthen long-term impact. She believes transformation starts with honesty, and she carries that into every room she leads.

Founder & CEO, Live Transformed
Chris Martinez is a community builder, and creator dedicated to helping people become who they truly are — not who the world told them to be. A Black & Dominican trans man, father, husband, and leader, Chris uses his lived experience to open conversations about identity, manhood, healing, and what it takes to live with intention.
Through Live Transformed, he creates spaces for men to explore their stories, unpack what they’ve carried, and redefine strength from the inside out. The work is personal, raw, and grounded in truth — the same truth that he and Natalie share in their lives and in their partnership.
Behind the scenes, Chris and Natalie hold a shared philosophy they call “TRS” (the real s*t) — a commitment to realness, no masks, no persona, no fake anything. It isn’t a public-facing brand, but it’s the heartbeat behind everything they build: authentic connection, honest growth, and transformation that sticks.
