  • Every StableTable needs four legs! My four legs for healthy living are hydration, exercise, nutrition, and ... drum roll please... sleep! I've covered the first three topics in my first three podcast episodes, and so today, we get to balance our table nicely with a good chat about healthy sleeping habits. Please go and listen to the first three episodes if you haven’t done so already – and then come right back!

    From understanding how we view sleep throughout our lives as we get older, to tracking how we sleep, and the things we can do to get better quality sleep, getting the required amount of ‘shuteye’ is a hot topic these days.

    I'm encouraging you to effectively lay the table for a future of healthy living by incorporating a good sleep routine into your daily exercise, hydration, and nutritious meal planning. Should you have a hot bath or shower before bedtime? What about sleeping with your beloved pet? From menstrual cycles to circadian rhythms, I cover it all in this episode. Please join me.

    "Sleep is essential – but it must be quality sleep." ~ Marcell Hanson

  • Eating nutritious meals is the third leg of My Stable Table – my personal wellness regimen that I’ve developed and fine-tuned since I kicked my sugar habit thirty years ago. And in today’s episode, I’m hopefully giving you plenty of healthy advice to chew on.

    It’s about more than just eating healthily, for starters. Where are we sourcing our food from, how closely are we scrutinizing the labels, and how are we substituting unhealthy options for healthier choices (e.g., fruit instead of sugar) as we build momentum and take control of what we consume?

    There’s also a community element to consider as we get creative and combine preparing and sharing meals with friends and family, developing cooking rosters, and freezing backup meals for those days when life gets in the way and we need a healthy meal in an instant.

    Please join me as I unpack what nutritious meals look like as part of your healthy eating plan — and part of your My Stable Table. Connecting over food is a great human experience. Let us remind ourselves of that.

    “When I got to cutting out processed sweets (you know M&Ms and things like that), I just went straight to fruit. Every time I had a sweet tooth, I would replace it with fruit.” ~ Marcell Hanson

    In This Episode:

    - Replacing unhealthy food with healthier options to start

    - Eating enough of the right things for your goals

    - Understanding ‘food therapy’ as a way to maintain your wellness

  • It took me 30 years to develop my personal wellness regimen. I’m sharing it with you now so that you can cut that time down dramatically. It all starts with ten minutes. Just ten minutes of daily exercise — that’s all I’m asking.

    We can even call it ‘movement’ as that word has less of a stigma attached. Just ten minutes of being outside, taking in nature, counting your paces, and counting your breath. Soon those ten minutes will become a cornerstone of your daily life, ‘me time’ in your day that you will look forward to.

    This all sounds simple, and it is. But if you want greater success in your life, it comes with the price of doing the simple things day in and day out. Daily exercise is one of the four legs of My Stable Table — I look forward to chatting about it with you today. Please join me.

    “We all know that walking is really helpful. It’s good for lots of things — it’s good for our physical health, it’s good for our emotional health, it’s good for our psychological health, and it’s good for our spiritual health.” ~ Marcell Hanson

    In This Episode:

    - Advice for moms who want to exercise while pushing baby strollers

    - How your commitment to yourself will help you change your habits

    - The goal is to exercise 10 minutes a day – let’s do this!

    - Marcell’s goal of living to 150 – you can too!

    - How to stay on track when traumatic life events happen

    - Understanding My Stable Table as your close confidant

  • The episode begins with the importance of taking massive action consistently. Marcell emphasizes that knowledge becomes wisdom only when applied, and consistent effort is the key to achieving your goals. She then dives into the power of optimism, encouraging you to reframe your mindset and stay positive to attract opportunities and improve your outlook. Learning to love yourself is another cornerstone of her advice, as spending quality time with yourself can lead to greater self-acceptance and better relationships. Marcell also highlights the importance of listening more than you speak, as it provides invaluable insight and deepens your understanding of yourself and others.

    Giving authentically—to both yourself and others—is another powerful habit discussed in the episode. Marcell explains that self-care and generosity go hand in hand, creating a life of abundance and connection. She also underscores the importance of daily gratitude, encouraging listeners to say their blessings as a way to elevate energy and maintain a positive mindset. Staying true to yourself is non-negotiable, as Marcell warns against compromising your values and stresses the importance of integrity. Laughter, she says, is medicine, and finding ways to laugh daily can bring joy and health benefits.

    As the episode nears its conclusion, Marcell shares two final habits: embracing curiosity and staying open. Approaching life with curiosity keeps your mind active and fosters growth, while openness invites positivity and opportunities into your life. As a bonus, Marcell advises focusing on yourself by cutting out distractions like the news and social media comparisons, so you can stay present and intentional in your journey.

    The key takeaway from this episode is clear: consistency is the foundation of success. Whether it’s small habits or massive actions, staying committed is what drives meaningful change.

  • In this episode, we dive into why waiting for the perfect time to start your wellness journey is keeping you stuck. The year is winding down, but your health doesn’t care what the calendar says. It’s time to bury procrastination with 2024 and start making changes today. Transformation doesn’t happen by accident—it starts with small, consistent actions that compound over time.

    Your health cannot wait another day. To help you begin, I break down my four non-negotiable wellness pillars. First, focus on hydration. Most of us are running on empty, so aim to drink half your body weight in ounces of water each day. This simple habit will help your body flush out toxins and function at its best. Second, embrace daily movement. Forget about perfection—consistency is key. Whether it’s walking, stretching, or dancing in your kitchen, move your body in ways you enjoy every single day. Third, prioritize nutritious meals. Start small by adding more whole foods to your plate and swapping out ultra-processed options. This is about progress, not perfection. Finally, protect your sleep. Quality rest is where your body repairs and regenerates, so create a bedtime routine and treat your sleep like the essential investment it is.

    If you’re waiting for motivation to show up, you may be waiting forever. Motivation doesn’t create action—action creates motivation. Start with small steps, like drinking a glass of water, taking a 15-minute walk, or going to bed 20 minutes earlier. These actions will add up and create momentum. Don’t let the busyness of the holidays be an excuse. The cost of doing nothing is feeling sluggish, tired, and out of alignment with your health. Imagine starting January 1st already feeling stronger, clearer, and more energized because you chose to take action today.

    If you’re serious about change and need someone to hold you accountable, join my free texting community. Text the word YES to 206-483-2960, and I’ll guide you from there. Stop waiting for the stars to align or for someday to arrive. Your health is your greatest investment, and it will pay dividends when you start prioritizing it now.

    Let’s make today the day you stop waiting and start doing. Bury procrastination with 2024 and build the foundation for your healthiest, happiest year yet. Remember, small habits lead to big changes. You’ve got this. I believe in you—now it’s time for you to believe in yourself. Until next time, stay awesome!

  • In today’s episode, we’re diving into one critical mistake that holds so many people back

    Why wait? Why hold off on your goals until January 1st, Monday, or some other arbitrary date? Life isn’t waiting for you, and here’s the truth: you already have everything you need inside of you to start right now.

    Many people think they need a flawless plan or perfect conditions to begin. But waiting for a magical moment is like waiting for a unicorn to show up in your living room—it’s not happening. The reality? Starting small and messy beats waiting every time. Simple actions like drinking an extra glass of water or taking a 10-minute walk can lead to significant results over time.

    Too often, we silence our inner desire to live a healthier, fuller life. We tell ourselves, “What if I fail?” Instead, ask yourself: What if I succeed? Visualize the life you want—waking up energized, feeling well-rested, eating well, and moving your body. That vision is your inner desire speaking. Honor it by taking action.

    You don’t need perfect conditions—they’re not coming. Your transformation is just one small habit away. Start today. Don’t wait for January 1st. Don’t wait for Monday. Your best life is waiting for you right now.

    Need support? I’m here for you. Text the word YES to 206-483-2960 to join the community. Share your questions, wins, and challenges—I want to hear it all.

    Small habits lead to big changes. You’ve got this. Stay awesome!

  • In this heartfelt episode host Marcell Hanson explores the fascinating dynamics between generations whether in the animal kingdom or our human communities. Inspired by her new kittens joining her 13-year-old cat, Robert, Marcell reflects on the profound and often overlooked importance of respecting and learning from our elders.

    Marcell begins by sharing how her cats embody a natural hierarchy and mutual respect, especially as Robert, the elder, gently guides the kittens in understanding boundaries and roles. This natural order, she suggests, offers valuable lessons for how we might interact with seniors in our lives, creating environments that honor their wisdom rather than isolating them. She discusses the impact of our society's diminished respect for elders, likening it to the disorder that might arise if kittens were left to raise themselves without guidance.

    Drawing from personal experience, Marcell shares her relationships with two of her closest friends, ages 74 and 90, and the wisdom and perspective they bring into her life. Her conversations with them go beyond daily check-ins; they are rich with insight and a deeper understanding of life. She encourages listeners to cherish and build connections with the elderly, not just within their families but also within their communities, as this exchange can transform both the elder and the younger person involved.

    Marcell challenges the divisiveness she sees in modern society, advocating for a return to values that emphasize family and community bonds. She suggests that this shift requires not just individual change but a broader dismantling of divisive structures, replaced by values that borrow from cultures where elders are revered.

    Tune in for a thought-provoking episode that encourages listeners to see our elders not as a burden but as a privilege and a source of lifelong learning. Whether it’s a family member, neighbor, or even a mentor figure, Marcell inspires us all to engage meaningfully with seniors and enrich our lives.

  • In this episode Marcell Hanson challenges listeners to make a commitment to personal growth today rather than waiting for a “perfect time.” She discusses the danger of inaction and how, like a frog in gradually heating water, we may not notice our lives slipping into stagnation or even decline unless we take decisive action. With powerful analogies and straightforward advice, Marcell emphasizes the need to execute on a plan even if that plan starts as simply as deciding to make one.

    Marcell speaks passionately about how taking regular, intentional steps toward our goals can be life-changing, especially for those in their 30s, 40s, and beyond. With the wisdom gained from experience, we’re equipped to achieve more efficiently than in younger years, and each step we take now shapes the person we are becoming. She reminds us that self-worth isn’t derived from external achievements; no amount of wealth, health, or success will make us more worthy than we already are. True peace and fulfillment come from knowing our worth right now, and using that awareness as a foundation to pursue our goals.

    In her direct yet empathetic style, Marcell encourages listeners to stop waiting for validation or a “perfect moment” to begin. She explains that creativity and opportunity flow from commitment, not the other way around. We don’t need every piece of the puzzle to start; we only need the drive to move forward. By making a daily commitment to personal development, we open ourselves up to new possibilities, relationships, and experiences. This episode is an inspiring call to action, urging listeners to take a single step toward their dreams today, reminding us that filling ourselves up with purpose and growth allows us to give even more to those around us.

  • In this week's episode Marcell Hanson dives into how to stay on top of your wellness game as the season changes, helping listeners navigate the dip in energy that often accompanies cooler, darker days. Broadcasting from the Pacific Northwest in Western Canada, Marcell shares her own approach to combating the seasonal shift, discussing how shorter days, chilly temperatures, and drizzly weather can affect both mood and energy levels.

    With Halloween and Daylight Savings around the corner, Marcell advises starting a wellness routine as early as possible. She emphasizes tracking foundational wellness pillars—hydration, movement, nutritious meals, and quality sleep—to maintain balance as the season progresses. Marcell explains how cooler months can disrupt circadian rhythms and offers strategies to cope, including simple wardrobe changes, like layering and wearing warmer socks, to prevent an energy-draining shock to the system. She also shares tips on warming up from the inside with seasonally appropriate foods, such as soups and stews made from root vegetables, squashes, and spices like cinnamon and cayenne, which support digestion and provide cozy warmth.

    Movement is another key focus; Marcell underscores the importance of moving regularly, both indoors and outdoors, to counter stiffness and promote circulation. With colder weather affecting sleep patterns, Marcell reminds listeners to keep a consistent bedtime and wake-up time, even as the time changes, to support a steady circadian rhythm. Additionally, she discusses the importance of hydration, pointing out that, although thirst reflexes may decrease in winter, staying hydrated is still essential.

  • In this week's episode, Marcell Hanson shares her insights from a recent encounter with some seniors on a flight back from Las Vegas, which sparked reflections on the invaluable contributions that older generations offer to our communities. Marcell emphasizes that the principles she discusses aren't age-specific, making it possible for anyone, at any stage of life, to implement her simple three-step approach for improving their wellbeing and the lives of those around them.

    The first step is to **raise your standards**. If you’re dissatisfied with your life, whether it’s how you feel physically or mentally, the key is to aim higher and commit to those elevated expectations. Marcell reiterates that applying urgency can bring about immediate results, but it's consistency that ensures lasting change. Start now—no more waiting for the perfect moment.

    The second step is to **give yourself grace**. Everyone encounters challenges on their journey, and it's essential to allow room for mistakes without judgment. Marcell shares a humorous meme to highlight the importance of taking responsibility for your actions while being compassionate with yourself. She draws attention to the common struggle of indulging in short-term pleasures that lead to long-term consequences, and encourages listeners to stay mindful of these choices.

    Finally, the third and most critical step is **don’t quit**. Consistency over time is what builds momentum and real transformation. Marcell reflects on her nearly 30-year personal growth journey, pointing out that while the challenges may change, the rewards of persistence—feeling strong, energetic, and grounded—are worth it. She encourages listeners to track their progress, as it offers tangible evidence of improvement and motivates them to keep going.

    Marcell also touches on how the wellness journey involves ongoing experimentation with habits, relationships, and health choices. She shares examples of swaps such as replacing processed sugars with fresh, organic berries, and highlights the value of hydration and tracking health data to see how small changes impact overall wellbeing.

    Wrapping up, Marcell offers personalized support through her texting community, where listeners can ask questions or schedule one-on-one consultations. She also announces an exciting upcoming project geared toward seniors, inviting older listeners and their families to engage with her community through traditional phone calls or online channels.

    This episode serves as a powerful reminder to take immediate action, be gentle with yourself during setbacks, and remain consistent on the path to a better life. Tune in next week for more insights and stay inspired!

  • In this week’s episode, Marcell Hanson dives into the vast world of self-help and self-development, a billion-dollar industry filled with both valuable and misleading information. Marcell explores the critical difference between merely consuming information and actually applying it, turning knowledge into true understanding.

  • In this episode Marcell Hanson welcomes Courtney "Ketu" Thomas, a former juvenile inmate turned meditation teacher, wellness advisor, and co-founder of a rejuvenation spa in Colorado Springs. With a transformative personal journey, Ketu shares his path from multiple incarcerations to finding healing and purpose through mindfulness practices like transcendental meditation. He delves into how TM not only helped him turn his life around but also became the foundation for his business, which offers unique wellness experiences such as flotation pods, salt caves, and infrared saunas.

    Ketu speaks candidly about his early life, growing up in Chicago and reaching a pivotal moment during his third prison sentence, when he encountered the biblical verse John 14:12. This moment sparked a deep spiritual seeking, leading him to explore yoga and meditation, initially through the guidance of Oprah Winfrey and Deepak Chopra’s 21-day meditation programs.
