The word Self-Care has become a mainstream buzzword, and, in many ways, I have seen it become something that I don’t believe is its original meaning, though many would disagree with me. Care of oneself can look like so many things and isn’t just about taking care of the largest organ on our body (skin) or making sure we are eating healthy and exercising. My perspective of it goes much deeper and yes, there are some folks out there that believe this too. That’s what Rudy and I dive into.

It’s been some time again since my last banter. I was having a hard time finding the right topic to talk about and the right person to have it with.
So, I decided that Spring, in particular Earth Month and Community Gardens, would be a good place to pick up where I left off. I have been an avid gardener, both containers and ground, for almost three decades and have always been a big fan of people who grow their own food which my home conditions are not conducive for.
My friend Annemarie Sampson, from Mission Driven Wellness and a passionate environmentalist, is having this conversation with me to help share how important Community Gardens are the far-reaching benefits that have lasting impact.
I ask you to take some time out of your life, make some space and listen to this conversation. Then find some space, find some people, find some resources to start connecting with Mother Earth, your community and bringing a healing space to everyone.
Thank you for listening and supporting my work. Be Well, Marlo
Read MoreMARLO'S CONVERSATIONS WITH FRIENDS: RECLAMATION OF ONESELF WITH MARIAM HANNON & LINDSAY STYCK
Reclamation of Oneself, my theme for this conversation is with two of my dearest friends I invited back, Mariam Hannon and Lindsay Styck. We talk and laugh about how to take back - reclaim - yourself and really take a look at where you want to expand in this new year. It’s about creating a path and the steps that meet your needs, desires and dreams, not anyone else’s. This banter is about what questions to ask yourself, what steps to take and how to move forward with these intentions as your guide this year, and how to be kinder to yourself through the whole process.
Read MoreMARLO'S CONVERSATIONS WITH FRIENDS: JUST ME ON MICRO GRATITUDE
I decided to do this conversation by myself, as Micro Gratitude is what I have been practicing my whole adult life. This episode is short and straight to the point and insight into how I live it. Micro Gratitude is a daily practice that happens in so many moments all day long when you allow yourself to get present and really BE IN your life. Yes, it is truly life changing when you allow it to be. I know it’s changed mine.

I am here with a deep dive into a topic I have long been a promoter and cultivator of: Creativity. I don’t only mean the artistic creativity. I mean using creativity to solve problems, shape communication, approach new projects, and of course, use it for entertainment or artistic purposes. I wanted to discuss that being creative doesn't only mean to be an artist; for me, it means looking at a problem/challenge/your daily life differently, with fresh eyes and being insightful. I am having this conversation with a long-time friend of mine, Kathryn Deiss, who truly embraces creativity to the core of her being, exudes it to everyone who she has an experience with and is an expert on the subject both in her work and her other life roles. It is wonderful to be in her presence.

I am back with a lighthearted banter with my friend and restaurant owner, Heather Behm, around Food Pt. 2. I wanted to have a conversation around meal preparation for the day and week, food and flavor combinations, understanding spices and overall making it the approach to cooking and preparing food easier and fun. I want people to let go of their fears around cooking the absolute right or best tasting meal and explore new flavors as well as learn to try and try again because it only gets better the more you keep at it.

Spring is here for sure in my part of the world & it feels lovely!
As you head into warmer weather in the northern hemisphere of the world, introducing more movement, particularly outside, becomes the norm for everyone. I decided to have one episode of the podcast dedicated to a few types of movement that I feel anyone can and probably already has tried on. I have a banter with three of my friends, Michelle Bobier, Peter Norman and Kathy Pace, around Qi Gong, Tai Chi and Yoga. I know I will have more of these.
