What happens when life forces you to slow down? On Sacred Harmony hosted by Shreya, Marlene Wallach shares how a breast cancer diagnosis became the turning point that reshaped her leadership, identity, and mission.

This episode is for high achievers, caregivers, and anyone navigating illness or burnout. Marlene reveals how slowing down led her to build an aloe-based skincare line and embrace a deeper philosophy of self-worth, perspective, and conscious living. If you’re learning to listen to your body and pivot with grace, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.
