The One Year Shift is more than a course, it’s a catalyst. A beautifully built blend of book, video and guided practice that helps you write your future right here and now. I’ve always known what I want but many of the dreams and goals got vague, scattered and stuck over the years. I couldn’t quite shape the vision or make it real. With this book, this changed fast. By day four, I wasn’t just imagining my future self, I was being her. That’s the shift. Subtle at first, then seismic. This work helps you shed the stories that stall you and step into the identity that you’ve been dreaming of. And while the transformation is yours, Martha know exactly how to guide you there. The videos feel like conversations with a wise, warm friend, never preachy, always practical. Honest, human and fun, she shares her own stories in a way that unlocks yours. I loved every minute.

For years I've had a photography project sitting in my heart, waiting to begin. I kept avoiding it — it felt too big, too overwhelming. I needed new skills, new systems, time I didn't think I had, and honestly, I just couldn't seem to start. The One Year Shift changed that. Martha helped me understand exactly why I was avoiding something I genuinely wanted to do, and more importantly, how to get my brain working with me rather than against me. I walked away with a practical action plan that's easy to implement, a way to counter resistance and real momentum — I'm already seeing progress. Martha's energy, enthusiasm, and genuine desire to help people make the whole experience a joy. It's been such a worthwhile program and I know it's going to make a BIG difference to all of the projects I undertake in future. Thank you Martha!

The One Year Shift has been absolutely transformative for me already! Understanding the brain's shift from DMN to TPN, especially the 'seesaw analogy,' was incredibly insightful and validating, particularly as someone who is neurodiverse. This program helps us understand human brains in general but the mentions of the differences between neurotypical and neurodiverse brains made me feel so seen. I love how Martha touches on the differences very factually and shares ways to help our brains in such a positive way. Thank you, Martha. Learning that writing helps activate TPN mode was a big moment! This explains why handwriting notes has always been the best way to focus and memorize new material for me! The mindset module is pure gold. It reinforces that belief is half the battle, which is so true! The Atomic Habits’ stats combined with the concept that “the new us doesn't exist yet” really clicked for me. It makes perfect sense why imagining a transformed future self feels near-impossible in the present. The emphasis on celebrating little wins is exactly what someone like me, who often wants everything done yesterday, needs to hear. These small reminders are vital in setting and achieving our goals. The Anti-Vision exercise in Module 2 was brilliant and something I'd never encountered before! This really helped me pinpoint what's been holding me back. My future self will absolutely thank me for making these changes and thinking as her is already making a huge difference! Some of the quotes that I found the most powerful (“That’s a thought, not a fact.” “Fear is a door, not a wall.”) are daily reminders I have scheduled to pop up on my phone daily. Also, “Miss one day, never two” is now my new motto for staying active! I’m doing this for myself because I don’t want to wake up in 10 or 15 years and realize that I didn’t accomplish my goals. The One Year Shift is giving me the tools, the mindset, and the belief to prove to myself what's possible. I know I can achieve this! If anyone feels stuck or like they’re ready to take a leap into something new (but they don’t know why they’re hesitating or how to stick with it), this program is for you. This is the program I’ve certainly been waiting for, and I’m so grateful it exists. It’s going to help thousands of people make the changes and achieve goals that have been so desired for years! Thank you so much, Martha!!!!

I’ve read many books and followed several courses from experts and coaches on goal setting and overcoming procrastination, but nothing has been as powerful as The One Year Shift. Martha guides you towards your goals by combining clarity, structure, and small, consistent actions that actually feel doable in real life. What makes this course truly different is her approach: she leads with kindness and empathy, without pressure or guilt. She doesn’t focus on what you haven’t done; instead, she helps you understand what might be holding you back and gives you practical tools to move through it. Her support feels both gentle and highly professional. You feel seen, understood, and at the same time guided in a very concrete way. For me, the anti-procrastination tools have been completely life-changing! They helped me shift from feeling stuck and overwhelmed to finally taking action, step by step, without burnout. If you have a goal you truly care about but keep postponing, this course is the structure and support you need to finally make it happen!

Well wow! I can genuinely say that I feel really lucky to have been chosen by Martha to test her One Year Shift course and have access to the fantastic amount of information before anybody else! Martha is so knowledgeable and has taught me so many tools (and a lot of the science behind it!) to help me reach the goals that I have been putting off for years. I have never been able to picture the future and honestly I didn’t put too much thought into it and just lived each day as it comes. However, that also means that a lot of goals just stay in my head because I can’t picture the way to get there! This course has helped me realise that I have a huge mental block and has given me the tools to break that down and deal with any future obstacle which might get in my way. I honestly feel like this could be years of therapy condensed into a wonderfully well packaged course. If you’re a serial procrastinator or struggle to envision your ‘Future Self’ or how you would even start to become that person, then I highly recommend you do this course, I think it might change my life!

When Martha invited me to test The One Year Shift, I’ll admit I was sceptical at first. I’m a huge Martha Brook fan and have bought lots of their stationery over the years, but when it comes to self-help books I’ve bought plenty, and many of them are still sitting on my bookshelf unopened. So I did wonder if this might be another one of those. At the time I felt pretty stuck. I’m currently in a corporate job that pays well but brings me very little joy. Mostly stress and anxiety. My husband and I have a business idea that we genuinely believe in, but I just didn’t know how to start turning it into something real. The dream felt exciting, but also overwhelming and chaotic in my head. After completing the first module of The One Year Shift, something shifted in me almost immediately. In the first 30 minutes alone I made more progress on this idea than I had in the last five years. I’d been sitting on the dream for so long but had absolutely no clue where to start. Suddenly it felt clear and manageable. Martha has such a warm and personable way of explaining things. It genuinely feels like she is talking directly to you. Like a really wise friend helping you think things through rather than lecturing you or telling you what you should be doing. Not long ago I lost my mum and everyone who knew her always said she was the wisest friend they had. No matter what problem someone had, she somehow knew how to help them see the answer more clearly. I’ve missed that guidance more than I can say. Working through these modules honestly gave me a similar feeling. Like someone wise was sitting beside me helping me untangle everything in my head. The modules are short, clear and incredibly insightful. Nothing feels preachy or overwhelming. Martha explains things in such a simple, practical way that it just clicks. As someone who is dyslexic that matters a lot to me. Sometimes I struggle with courses or books that are full of complicated language. This is the opposite of that. It is accessible, encouraging and very easy to engage with. What I also really appreciate is that it is clearly grounded in science. You can tell Martha has done the work and really understands how our brains operate when it comes to goals, motivation and fear of failure. The guided journal that goes alongside the course is also such a brilliant idea. It makes it incredibly easy to actually do the work from the lessons because everything is broken down into really small, manageable steps. You are not left staring at a blank page wondering where to start. I also really like that Martha doesn’t force you to buy the journal. You could easily work through the course with a notebook if you wanted to. But I’m very glad the journal exists because it removes that feeling of overwhelm completely. It makes it even easier and quicker to start, which is genius. Most importantly, it has given me something I didn’t have before. Genuine hope and determination. I was always called a dreamer at school and for a long time I assumed starting this business would just become another dream I never quite achieved. Now for the first time I actually believe I can do it. One other thing I want to say is that I’m a man, and this course absolutely works for men just as much as it will for women. The guidance, the structure and the mindset shifts apply to anyone who has a goal but feels stuck on how to begin. I’m incredibly grateful to Martha for creating this and for trusting me to test it. It has genuinely helped me move from feeling stuck and overwhelmed to feeling hopeful, focused and excited about what I’m building next. Honestly, it’s an amazing product and one I couldn’t recommend more. If you’re feeling stuck, maybe this is the little shift you’ve been waiting for.

Turns out I’m not broken!! I have just finished The One Year Shift course and I can honestly say this is going to be a game changer for me. I embarked on a career change in March 2025 and finally found something that set my soul on fire, something that reignited a spark inside of me that I’ve been searching for, for years. With that, you’d imagine that I’d now be up and running and living my dream … but no, a year later and I’ve done absolutely nothing to get to there. Why you ask? Well I couldn’t tell you that, until now! Turns out my brain needs a little extra help in putting the wheels in motion and The One Year Shift is exactly that. The course, led by Martha, is a step-by-step guide that breaks down literally everything you need to help you firstly, get to the bottom of what it is you want and secondly, how to go about it. There were so many ‘ahhh’ moments for me when working my way through the modules. Neuroscience to help me understand why I am the way I am, tools to help me overcome my mental blocks and a yearly plan broken down into bite size, completely manageable pieces that immediately remove the overwhelm and replaces the ‘I don’t know where to begin’ with ‘I know exactly what I have to do’. Martha is like ‘a warm cup of tea on a cold morning’ or ‘that comforting hug that you didn’t know you needed’. She empathetically guides you through the whole process and seems to understand everything my brain is without even knowing me. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, stuck, broken, fed up with your own nonsense and procrastination or if you just need a little help to get you back on track, then I suggest you give The One Year Shift a go. I’m finally excited again and cannot wait to be reviewing how far I’ve come, a year from now. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go and set up for tomorrow’s Daily Lever as my Future Self is calling! See you on the other side!

I can't recommend The One Year Shift highly enough! I wasn't quite sure what to expect but the whole course was so brilliantly organised. The perfect amount of science and theory (in understandable terms) blended with practical actions and Martha there to help and guide you through the whole thing. I surprised myself by coming out with a slightly different one year goal than I had planned, and I found all the sections about how to ensure that you make space and prioritise your commitment really invaluable. I'm very good at starting things and not seeing them to completion but after completing this course I actually feel, no- I know! - that this time will be different! I loved having the planner to fill in alongside too, and can see how useful this will be to complete as I work my way through the year. If you have something that you're ready to do or change in your life I would 100% recommend The One Year Shift as the perfect tool and companion to get you there!

This course completely changed how I see myself and the way I approach my goals. I went in expecting another typical self-development course, but it turned out to be something much deeper. It helped me understand why I’ve been stuck for so long — not because I’m lazy, but because of patterns and fear I hadn’t recognised before. After nearly three years of working to launch my business, I finally feel like I have a clear path forward. For the first time, I’m genuinely motivated, ready to take the next steps with confidence, with the tools to remove my blockers. The Anti-Vision, truly understanding my 'why' for the first time and the future self work were incredibly powerful, and the way Martha delivers the course makes you feel supported the whole way through. It’s not just inspiring — it actually does create a shift.

Martha, you astound me - truly. I'm someone who has battled ADHD, chronic procrastination and profound self-doubt and self-sabotage all my life, so that even the mere thought of setting and planning out goals would bring me out in hives! I cannot reiterate enough how EXCRUCIATING I found this stuff but yet, in one long weekend with your course, I've done what I never before thought possible: I've actually got out of my own way and MADE A PLAN. You are so inviting, so calming yet encouraging, and so familiar (despite us being perfect strangers) that I feel you've broken down my walls and let me see what's on the other side of my potential. I've read A LOT of self-help and productivity guides in my 39 years, but you have a way of distilling information in new and interesting ways that leaves me dumbfounded in the best of ways, and I truly now have a veritable treasure trove of ideas at my disposal to help me forge ahead and get this goal stuff underway. I can't thank you enough for what you've helped me achieve already, and for the first time in many years I'm excited about what the future holds for me.
