Mornings with Marla

In this episode, I engage in a heartfelt conversation with Rachel O'Bare, known as @simplyrachelobare, as she shares her remarkable journey of maintaining hope amidst the return of her husband's brain tumor. Rachel serves as an inspiration, not only for the positivity she radiates in her daily life despite its challenges, but also for the unwavering commitment she demonstrates as her husband's caregiver. Join us as we explore her resilience and the profound impact of how to hold onto hope in the face of adversity.

In this episode Michelle Mercedes (Meesh) and I talk about the potency of a gratitude practice, how the smallest things we forget to have gratitude for, and when you shift that thought process in your life, big things change. We touch on how to become curious. Approaching things with curiosity can allow for a whole new perspective and outlook. Being a human is hard, growth is hard, recognizing why you're coming from a certain place, and how you can end up projecting that into the world. Those are hard perspectives to have but the knowledge of them is powerful and can lead to more compassion for yourself and others. Meesh blesses us with her poetry at the end. She is the living embodiment of art, a keeper of wisdom, this episode holds so much of that.intro music by the talented Lee Rixson find him on insta @leerixson Find Marla @_marmo

In this solo episode, I talk about my recent darkness. This is a vulnerable share of being stuck in the victim mindset. How did I manage to slowly get out? Why I feel so trapped in some ways still. The resurfacing of old patterns and forgotten lessons. How to move out of the fear and chaos energy and into more trust and surrender even though letting go of control can be so hard. I also touch on how to help friends in negative places and why it's so important to listen instead of spiritual bypass or gaslight. Hope this touches someone... we are not alone in all of it. intro music by the talented Lee Rixson find him on insta @leerixson Find Marla @_marmo
