My name is Marla Hughes. I have worked with children my entire life. I have a Master's degree in Exercise Physiology. I have worked in the pediatric transplant unit at UCSF Hospital in San Francisco, teaching children about exercise, good nutrition and relaxation. I also worked at the Center for Attitudinal Healing with its founder, Dr. Gerald Jampolsky, using art and music therapy to help young children who had life threatening diseases or who had a parent or loved one who was severely ill. My greatest teachers, however, have been my children. I have never experienced a love that deep or profound. I created this podcast because I am intrigued by how children can help us reconnect with our spiritual selves. I believe the young are our teachers; after all they are the masters of living in the moment, enjoying the messiness of life and curious about the universe in all it's dimensions. They are not concerned with ego or comparisons. These young souls enter life with driblets of heaven clinging to them, still in touch with their memories of past lives and the people and places they had known before. I want to explore and share this wisdom.

    Episode 251 - How Astrology Helps Us Remember Who We Are with Stevie Calista

    In this inspiring episode of Interviews with Innocence, Marla sits down with Stevie Calista—an astrologer, artist, intuitive channel, and founder of Farmhouse Moon. Stevie brings a grounded, heart-led approach to astrology, blending ancient teachings with intuition, spiritual insight, and compassionate guidance. Stevie believes our birth chart is a soul map—a blueprint of the lessons, gifts, and karmic patterns we carry into this lifetime. Through her work, she helps people remember who they truly are beneath conditioning, expectations, and fear, and invites them back into alignment with their deepest truth. Together, Marla and Stevie explore: ✨ How astrology serves as a healing tool ✨ The birth chart as a karmic blueprint and map of the soul ✨ Old souls, past lives, and intuitive remembering ✨ The North and South Nodes — and what they reveal about purpose ✨ How children can benefit from astrology at an early age ✨ Why understanding your rising sign can change everything ✨ Astrology as a form of "spiritual science" ✨ The ways astrology supports awakening, self-trust, and inner peace ✨ Why today's children are here to rebuild a more awakened world Stevie also shares her own intuitive awakening, her journey from skepticism to spiritual leadership, and how tracking the moon cycles has transformed the way she moves through life. This conversation is filled with insight, empowerment, and the reminder that we all carry ancient wisdom within us — and astrology is simply a pathway home.

    Episode 250: Bridging Heaven and Earth: Lessons in Healing and Spirit with Nic Whitem

    In this heart-opening conversation, Marla reconnects with Nic Whitem, a lifelong healer and spiritual teacher who has dedicated his later years to preserving the wisdom of Silver Birch — one of the most beloved voices in modern spiritual philosophy. Nic shares how his journey from the fast-paced world of international finance to running a holistic retreat in the UK was guided by the Spirit World itself. His story is one of trust, surrender, and rediscovering purpose through service to others. Together, Nic and Marla explore how Silver Birch's timeless teachings—rooted in love, compassion, and truth—offer clarity for our modern lives. They discuss the importance of open-minded spirituality, the power of listening to our intuition, and how children and animals can help us remember our connection to the unseen world. This episode is a beautiful reminder that spirituality isn't about religion or doctrine—it's about remembering who we truly are and how we can bring more light into the world through understanding, kindness, and presence. Whether you're new to the teachings of Silver Birch or simply seeking inspiration for your spiritual path, this conversation will uplift your heart and remind you that we are never alone on our journey.
