This October on The ModernZen Collective Podcast, we’re moving through our theme of Rituals of Restoration — and this week, we’re talking about what it really means to fill your own cup.

Self-care often gets reduced to bubble baths and surface rituals. While those can be lovely, true restoration goes deeper. In this episode, Lizzy sits down with Marney Henze, a yoga teacher, sound healer, and spiritual alchemist based in Sedona, Arizona. Marney creates soulful sanctuaries through yoga, meditation, sound, and creative ritual — guiding others to replenish, renew, and reconnect with themselves.

Together, we explore:
 ✨ The journey that shifted Marney’s yoga practice from physical to spiritual.
 ✨ How to redefine self-care in a way that genuinely restores energy.
 ✨ The role of sound, mantra, and voice as tools for restoration.
 ✨ Why creative rituals like mala-making can be deeply healing.
 ✨ Simple meditation practices you can integrate into your everyday life.

This is a conversation about going beyond surface-level self-care and stepping into practices that truly nourish the body, mind, and spirit. 🌙✨

Listener Reflection Questions:

1. What does filling my own cup mean to me right now — and how has that definition changed over time?
2. Which practices genuinely restore my energy (not just bring temporary comfort)?
3. How does sound — music, mantra, or even my own voice — support my healing and renewal?
4. What role does creativity (like journaling, movement, or ritual) play in my self-care?
5. What is one simple restorative practice I can integrate into my daily rhythm this week?
