True healing isn’t just physical, it’s energetic, emotional, and spiritual.

In this rich, real, and deeply inspiring episode, Susan and Kate welcome Marek Chromik, martial arts teacher and holistic wellness guide, for a conversation that bridges ancient Eastern practices and modern-day epigenetics.

With decades of experience in Kung Fu, Tai Chi, and Qigong, Marek shares how slowing down, tuning in, and softening your strength can transform your body, your energy, and your life. He dives into the importance of breath, awareness, fascia, intention, and emotional integration, and how these all influence your genetic expression.

Here’s what you’ll walk away with:

• A deeper understanding of how emotional blocks show up as physical tension (and how to release them)
• Why “slowing down” is the secret weapon for nervous system healing and resilience
• The underestimated role fascia and breath play in your vitality
• How to move through life as a Peaceful Warrior, with grounded strength, clarity, and compassion

If you’ve ever felt like healing has to be hard or that you need to push your way through, Marek offers a refreshing, embodied alternative rooted in presence and possibility.

"You are here to experience life, not just survive it."

Marek is based in Greenwood Village, Colorado, and offers both in-person and digital workshops. Learn more at EclecticGround.com.
