On a whim, my husband and I hand-picked moving to TC in 1994, from the West Coast. We found jobs and moved here with a one year old, thinking it would be a short 5-7 year stay. It's been just over 30 years now- longer than either of us have lived anywhere else. Clearly, we love the area and have found deep roots in our community.

Marjie, Executive Director of Generations Ahead, has worked in women's and children’s health for over 30 years. She received her Master’s degree in Public Health from Columbia University and her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Michigan.
Marjie is the executive director of Generations Ahead, a local nonprofit organization that she helped found in 2019. Generations Ahead supports teen parents and their children across the 5-county region.
In the Grand Traverse area, Marjie has managed adolescent health clinics, directed a breastfeeding program, and conducted community health assessment work at the Grand Traverse County Health Department. In addition to her direct work in public health, Marjie also served on the TCAPS school board for six years, including two as president, and was an adjunct professor at Grand Valley State University on the Grand Traverse campus.
Marjie and her spouse have lived in Traverse City since 1994. They have three adult
daughters.

Born and raised in Northern Michigan, Holly Hack has never called anywhere else home. From humble beginnings in a trailer in Grawn, she built a life grounded in hard work, purpose, and deep community roots. Her mother’s wisdom—“All that is needed for evil to exist is for good people to do nothing”—became her lifelong compass.

A single mom turned real estate leader, Holly found in real estate not just a career, but a calling: helping people find their place in the world. She led EXIT Realty with vision and heart and has now returned to what she loves most—working directly with clients, guiding them through life-changing transitions in buying and selling homes.

Holly’s love for Northern Michigan runs deep. It’s not just where she lives—it’s who she is. She’s raised three incredible kids here, each finding their path with grit and purpose. From community service with Leadership Grand Traverse and Child and Family Services, to championing local causes, Holly is devoted to giving back to the region that shaped her.

Some friendships are stitched together through shared passions, long-distance support, and the ups and downs of life—and that’s exactly how my friendship with Lisa has grown over the years. We met during chiropractic school (our husbands were classmates!), and though we landed on opposite coasts, our bond has stayed strong, rooted in faith, family, and holistic living.

Now, Lisa is sharing her decades of experience in wellness through her #1 bestselling book, The Radiant Reset—a powerful, common-sense guide to restoring metabolic function and balancing hormones in our fast-paced, high-tox world.

In this heartfelt episode, we talk about friendship, wellness, and what it means to live fully alive in every chapter of life.
