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 itâs 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 âperfect time.â 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, weâre 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 isnât 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 âperfect momentâ to begin. She explains that creativity and opportunity flow from commitment, not the other way around. We donât 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 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 youâre dissatisfied with your life, whether itâs 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 nowâno 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 **donât 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 persistenceâfeeling strong, energetic, and groundedâare 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.

In this episode, Marcell Hanson discusses the essence of credibility and why some people are more trustworthy than others. She explores how you can create and maintain credibility, both in personal and professional contexts, by first mastering it within yourself.
Marcell shares personal insights on how small, consistent actions like staying hydrated, eating whole foods, and maintaining good sleep habits build the foundation for discipline. This internal consistency translates into external trustworthiness. Marcell emphasizes that if you canât honor the commitments you make to yourself, youâll struggle to maintain credibility with others.
She also reflects on her experiences running businesses and interacting with clients, highlighting how good communication, responsiveness, and consistent behavior build long-term trust. According to Marcell, credibility requires discipline, which she defines simply as doing what you say you will do reliably and consistently.
In a world where small businesses often fail due to poor cash flow and mismanagement, Marcell urges her audience to start with themselves. She explains that building credibility doesnât mean being perfect but rather being aware of your actions. Mistakes happen, but itâs awareness that allows you to quickly get back on track.
Through relatable anecdotes, Marcell reminds listeners that credibility is like a muscle: it gets stronger with use but can atrophy if neglected. The episode closes with a powerful reminder that trust and credibility begin with the selfâand from there, they extend to others.
