Hi everybody, welcome to Awareness to Action. This show is about positivity and believing that anything is possible in a Peaceful Easy Healing way. This show offers stories from individuals who not only heard and grasped that ‘ah-ha’ moment taking them beyond piquing their interest to catapulting them towards an action that transformed their thinking and the direction of their life bringing them closer to fulfilling their life’s purpose. You can say they heard with their heart as well as their ears.

With a simple name and storyline change, their stories can be your story. Take a moment and think about that… close your eyes, take a deep breath and imagine what it will feel like when you’re living your life’s purpose, doing what you love to do, happier than you’ve ever been, experiencing more success than you ever allowed yourself to imagine. Feels great, doesn’t it?

Or maybe not quite… maybe you have no idea what your life’s purpose is or maybe you have known forever and just haven’t found the means to get you there or you're frozen in fear of taking it on; maybe you think it’s a pipedream…meant for someone else and not you. Trust me, I’ve been there, have you?

This show takes you ‘behind the scenes’ of individuals from all those thought categories…this show is here to help you see that anything is possible…and that includes the possibilities that your ‘thoughts, dreams, aspirations’ can come true. It all starts with Awareness….everything in the world starts with Awareness…that moment when the flutter in your belly comes to life; when words, and more importantly, the delivery of the words takes on a form that’s new and different…that hidden element that ‘catches your ears, your heart, your mind, your soul;’ that moment you ‘see’ yourself there and your very being believes in its heart of hearts that it’s possible to come to fruition.

That arrival to ‘knowingness’ happens in a split second. The process that takes place is what I call the 5 A’s of healing or transformation:

Awareness through words or sight that this is possible and you need to know more
Acknowledgment of the thought that these words are meant for you and the realization that even though you’ve ‘heard the words’ before, this time you ‘truly heard’ the words in your soul
Acceptance that this is where you need to be in this moment
Action is taking whatever steps it takes to make this a reality
Along the way, we learn any transformation worth doing has to for me and me alone…We discover our Authenticity, the 5th ‘A.’


You step away from the self-judgment as well as the judgment of others. You take steps and believe in who you are as courageous and curious; capable and clever. You understand that this is about stepping into your personal power. This is who you’ve always meant to be and what you’re meant to do.

You might be thinking, ‘this is all well and good, but how the heck do I do this?’ No worries, I’ve got your back…with over 30+ years transforming and enhancing an individual’s health and well-being as an ‘anything is possible’ teacher, manager, and life coach, I’ve come to realize it’s all about Awareness to Action. I describe Awareness to Action as not only figuring out what this might look like but how to bridge the gap between where you are today and where you want to be for many tomorrows to come. The bridge-building team of myself and my guests will share insight and examples of tools, techniques, resources, as well as the means to gain and sustain the fortitude to keep trying towards closing the gap. Probably the most difficult, and most important, step is to sustain and maintain the positive focus to keep trying…keeping that tank of ‘inner reserve’ filled. I don’t think you’ll hear anyone’s story that didn’t involve unsuccessful attempts, adjustments, revisions …where would we be if Edison stopped at his first lack of success with an incandescent lightbulb…he had 1000 unsuccessful attempts.

We’ll cheer you on and you’ll...

Awareness to Action with Joan Marlow: The Journey Towards Living Your Life's Purpose
Waking the Healer Within You
How many of us 'know' we have something within us that can support others, but we sometimes keep it under wraps because using the word 'healer' or 'mystic' is looked at strangely by others as well as personally feeling uncomfortable? When we come to accept the 'knowingness of knowing' that we possess these natural gifts, it's a game changer in our life and in the lives of countless others we serve, including entire communities. This episode will offer insight on Patricia Federico's journey into what she calls 'becoming woke' as a spiritual realist sharing the means to support unity and compassion that ultimately will help us all to survive and thrive. You'll go away with basic tenchiques to help you on your way to finding your 'knowingness of knowing' as well as personal positive health and well-being

How a Pencil Changed My Life
In 2004, Barbara was visiting a 2nd grade classroom. The teacher asked her students to take out a piece of paper and a pencil. Barbara watched as a little 7-year old student named Sandy walked up to the teacher and gave her a shoe. The teacher quickly gave Sandy a pencil. After class, Barbara asked the teacher why Sandy had to give her a shoe for the pencil. The teacher said because she didn't have enough pencils, and this way she knew she would get her pencil back because Sandy wouldn't leave without her shoe. That day, Barbara knew she needed to do something so that students didn't have to give up their shoe for a pencil...that was how Treasures 4 Teachers was born. Join us to learn about Barbara's journey including the impact on teachers, students and the environment.

Don't Be My Mom!
Did you know that 30 percent of people who fall and break a hip will die within 6 months of the fall? What's more, statistics share that 53 percent will experience another fall within 6 months of the first. Hip fractures are one of the main reason people end up in nursing homes. Shocking but true!!

Sadly Roxanne's mom fit into this category and became a statistic; she fell and broke her hip in January of 2018 and passed away in August of that year...a mere 7-month span.

Join this sobering yet 'light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel' episode as Roxanne shares actions she took based upon her strong awareness of the prevalence of falls, especially in those 65+, coupled with her deacades-long teaching of Qigong and Tai Chi to the Parkinson's Disease community. One such action was to write 'A Senior's Guide to Fall Prevention,' a simple guide to help empower seniors and those with debilitating health issues, focusing on self-care. As she shares easily implementable key practices, you'll discover that this guide for fall prevention is actually a recipe for life=-long wellbeing for all ages, especially seniors.

Hope and Healing Beyond Betrayal
Dani was married and a stay-at-home mom and mother of two for 20 years. All appeared fine from the outside, but inside the home there was a lot of pain, active addiction, lies, and a person she married in her early 20's that she no longer recognized or trusted anymore. Everything was kept in secret and because there was no concrete proof of anything she felt isolated, vulnerable and uncertain about pretty much everything...until the unthinkable was let out of the bag. From that point on she knew life would never be the same, as the impact of the betrayal left her questioning all she knew and believed. Dani has since spent the last 20+ years on a path of recovery and self-discovery. During this episode, she will share with us a little about her journey, THE PROCESS, the healing, ah-ha moments, and the transformation that took place. She will also discuss how she re-purposed pain, in order to serve and support others recovering from Betrayal Trauma.

Awareness to Action with Joan Marlow: The Journey Towards Living Your Life's Purpose
Hi everybody, welcome to Awareness to Action. This show is about positivity and believing that anything is possible in a Peaceful Easy Healing way. This show offers stories from individuals who not only heard and grasped that ‘ah-ha’ moment taking them beyond piquing their interest to catapulting them towards an action that transformed their thinking and the direction of their life bringing them closer to fulfilling their life’s purpose. You can say they heard with their heart as well as their ears.

With a simple name and storyline change, their stories can be your story. Take a moment and think about that… close your eyes, take a deep breath and imagine what it will feel like when you’re living your life’s purpose, doing what you love to do, happier than you’ve ever been, experiencing more success than you ever allowed yourself to imagine. Feels great, doesn’t it?

Or maybe not quite… maybe you have no idea what your life’s purpose is or maybe you have known forever and just haven’t found the means to get you there or you're frozen in fear of taking it on; maybe you think it’s a pipedream…meant for someone else and not you. Trust me, I’ve been there, have you?

This show takes you ‘behind the scenes’ of individuals from all those thought categories…this show is here to help you see that anything is possible…and that includes the possibilities that your ‘thoughts, dreams, aspirations’ can come true. It all starts with Awareness….everything in the world starts with Awareness…that moment when the flutter in your belly comes to life; when words, and more importantly, the delivery of the words takes on a form that’s new and different…that hidden element that ‘catches your ears, your heart, your mind, your soul;’ that moment you ‘see’ yourself there and your very being believes in its heart of hearts that it’s possible to come to fruition.

That arrival to ‘knowingness’ happens in a split second. The process that takes place is what I call the 5 A’s of healing or transformation:

Awareness through words or sight that this is possible and you need to know more
Acknowledgment of the thought that these words are meant for you and the realization that even though you’ve ‘heard the words’ before, this time you ‘truly heard’ the words in your soul
Acceptance that this is where you need to be in this moment
Action is taking whatever steps it takes to make this a reality
Along the way, we learn any transformation worth doing has to for me and me alone…We discover our Authenticity, the 5th ‘A.’


You step away from the self-judgment as well as the judgment of others. You take steps and believe in who you are as courageous and curious; capable and clever. You understand that this is about stepping into your personal power. This is who you’ve always meant to be and what you’re meant to do.

You might be thinking, ‘this is all well and good, but how the heck do I do this?’ No worries, I’ve got your back…with over 30+ years transforming and enhancing an individual’s health and well-being as an ‘anything is possible’ teacher, manager, and life coach, I’ve come to realize it’s all about Awareness to Action. I describe Awareness to Action as not only figuring out what this might look like but how to bridge the gap between where you are today and where you want to be for many tomorrows to come. The bridge-building team of myself and my guests will share insight and examples of tools, techniques, resources, as well as the means to gain and sustain the fortitude to keep trying towards closing the gap. Probably the most difficult, and most important, step is to sustain and maintain the positive focus to keep trying…keeping that tank of ‘inner reserve’ filled. I don’t think you’ll hear anyone’s story that didn’t involve unsuccessful attempts, adjustments, revisions …where would we be if Edison stopped at his first lack of success with an incandescent lightbulb…he had 1000 unsuccessful attempts.

We’ll cheer you on and you’ll...
