To celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary, Marta and Craig made a pilgrimage to Sedona, Arizona for a five day retreat. Interesting enough, they would individually be on their own customized, self-paced retreats. Yet, the two would be able to grow individually, together. Marta answers all of Fiona's questions about the retreat as they catch up, covering topics such as core wounds to parenting to self love. Tune in to tap into all of Marta's freshly gained wisdom - there's lots to learn. Let's go, this will be fun. Xx

In this week's episode Marta and Fiona discuss transitions. When in transition, we move through three stages: it begins with an ending, the messy middle, and then it ends with a new beginning. For Fiona, she is in the transition of edging towards graduating college and embarking on her post-grad adventure. This week, Marta's guides Fiona and listeners in how to notice when you are in transition, how to navigate transitions (hint: with grace and softness), and how to be in relationship with self, especially in the messy middle of change. We are so glad you're here.

Keep in touch with Marta by checking out her website and following along on Instagram and LinkedIn. See you next week! If you enjoyed this podcast please leave a rating and review, and feel free to pass it along to anyone you love who is in a season of transition. Big love.

⁠In this wonderful episode, Marta answers all of our (or at least, Fiona's) burning questions. Tune in for discussions about softness, learning how to get to know ourselves better, serendipity, and more. This conversation sparked a fair share of lightbulb moments for us as we recorded, and we hope it does the same for you as you listen. Big love!

This week Marta is joined by a special guest - Moira Brummell is in the house! Sweet Mo is Marta's youngest and, boy, she is a ball of light. Moira is a junior at Culver Girls Academy and joining us freshly after her spring break in Tanzania. In this episode she and Marta dive into topics of serving others, connecting and building relationships with others, and learning oneself. This episode is chalk-full of wisdom and tools designed to help young adults (and their parents) meet and love themselves and others where they are and where they're going.

Tune into this week's episode to hear wisdom from Moira's wonderful 17-year-old self and, as always, to learn new tools from Marta to equip you for this beautiful journey in The Practice of Being Human.

In this week's episode, Marta is joined again by Fiona for a conversation about body and our relationship with self. She makes an important clarification about our bodies: we are our are bodies, and our bodies are us. Our bodies are not separate from us, nor are they projects for us to continuously improve. Our bodies are our homes. We hope this episode can spark a paradigm shift within how you view your body, and, ultimately, how you care for your body. Through this process of getting (back) into relationship with our bodies, we are able to access our intuition, stand in our power and who we are, and access life with even more joy and fullness. Tune in to hear Marta's wisdom in length. We are so glad you're here.

Hello! Welcome to today's conversation with Cait, a University of Michigan rising senior, and one of our fabulous How To Human ambassadors. She shares her semester abroad experience and the many valuable gifts with which she walked away, one of which was learning how to be more present and grounded in an otherwise noisy and fast moving world. She is lighter, happier, wiser, and more anchored on the other side of her 5 months in Granada, Spain. Listen to the end as there are lots of good nuggets. No pasa nada, dear people. x

Today's conversation is with my 21 year old son, Ben, a junior at the University of Michigan, who spent the last 12 months traveling around the world. He shares some of his internal process with y'all which entails learning himself and being himself at an age and stage that is typically focused on all things external. I share some of my trepidation as a Mom in having a child go off the well worn path and venture out into the world finding his compass, his true North. Always a gift to share such marvelous and evolving humans on this pod. So glad to have you along for the ride. Enjoy! x
