The Lightburn Podcast “respectfully from my lane” with Margo Lightburn

Join on a journey of the heart with The Lightburn Podcast as host Margo Lightburn explores the nuanced and often controversial corners of the yoga and wellness industry through vulnerable interviews and personal stories.

Margo is a 20 year yoga veteran recently retired to return as your go-to destination for candid conversations demystifying wellness, debunking yoga myths and dropping the truth bombs you NEED to hear in every episode. With over two decades of experience in the industry, Margo brings her insider perspective to the forefront, fearlessly addressing the issues that lie under the industry rugs or mats if you will… With a career rich in exposure from Nike HQ and Lululemon to The Oprah Network and a spicy LA upbringing, Margo shares compelling stories that serve as a spark to let your “light burn”!

"Respectfully From My Lane" embodies the essence of a safe space Margo hopes to provide to have these sometimes hard conversations. The show is a platform intended to honor every voice, respecting each story, and approaching topics with empathy. But a fearlessness in confronting issues like unsafe movement practices that go unnoticed, cultural appropriation that is often undiscussed, mental and emotional abuse is ignored and how supremacy hides in plain site and takes it’s toll in this “but it’s good for you” practice.

Margo bravely holds herself and the industry norms accountable for the commercialization, commodification and capitalization of the yoga and wellness industry so that YOU can begin to make more conscious decisions in a 10 billion industry that has had many of us fooled and start prioritizing REAL health mentally, emotionally and yes, physically.

The Lightburn Podcast is more than just a show; it's a community and a collection of compassionate stories to shine brightly leaving you feeling seen and inspired.

So let’s dive deep into conversations together where the "intersection" of wellness, yoga, and self actualization meet like never before.
