In this episode of So Remarkoble, I break down meditation in a way the hood can truly relate to. No incense, no mountaintops, no pretending life is quiet. This is about finding peace in the middle of pressure.

From creative meditation and breath control to moments of stillness during work, movement, music, and everyday survival, Episode 9 reframes meditation as something we’ve always done — just never called it that. Marko-V challenges the myths that meditation is soft, foreign, or only for the wealthy, and shows how intentional breathing, reflection, and mental discipline can be tools for clarity, focus, and emotional balance.

This episode is for anyone dealing with stress, burnout, overthinking, or constant noise — internally or externally. Whether you’re hustling, healing, or simply trying to get through the day with your mind intact, this conversation offers practical ways to slow down without falling behind.

Peace is a practice. Stillness is a skill.

Welcome to Meditation in the Hood.

After heavy holiday plates and even heavier life stress, this episode explores the power of fasting and detoxing physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually — right from the hood.

Marko-V breaks down how affordable, intentional fasting can reset your body, clear your mind, sharpen your focus, and release the weight you can’t see. This isn’t a trend or a luxury — it’s a necessary reset that our communities were never taught to prioritize.

From low-cost detox routines to cutting off draining people, this episode offers practical steps and deeper reflections on how to cleanse what’s been clogging your growth.

This week on the So Remarkoble Podcast, I slow life down for a minute and tap into the heart of the holiday season with Giving Thanks in the Hood — The Special Thanksgiving Episode.

This isn’t the picture-perfect, TV-ready version of Thanksgiving.

This is the hood edition — where the food might be late, the kids running around, the budget tight, the oven working overtime, and the love still showing up anyway.

I break down:

• 🎤 What Thanksgiving really feels like when you come from the hood
• 💛 The blessings we overlook when life is loud
• 🦃 Hood-friendly gratitude practices you can use today
• 🕊️ The importance of appreciating our people — the present ones and the ones watching over us
• 🌱 His own personal reflections on growth, loss, purpose, and the power of community

This is the episode you play on the way to your family’s house, while you’re cooking, or while you’re mentally preparing for the personalities you’re about to deal with today.

It’s grounding. It’s warm. It’s real.

And most of all — it’s So Remarkoble.
