Hello, I'm Margie
I created Cultivate LifeLab because I believe emotional skills are survival skills—and we need more spaces to learn them. Whether I’m leading a class, designing a program, or writing something that speaks to the human experience, my goal is always the same: to help people feel less alone and more equipped to handle the hard stuff.
More About Me​​
I'm a multi-disciplinary entrepreneur, educator, and writer focused on helping people solve complex problems, build emotional skills, strengthen relationships, and create lives that feel better to live.
​
My background is in business and finance management, yoga therapy, psychology, and human development. In 2020, I earned a degree in Human Development & Family Studies with a focus on entrepreneurial leadership—because I wanted to build something real, something useful. My work blends problem solving savvy with research-backed methods and everyday strategies for coping, connecting, and cultivating resilience.
​
For decades, I’ve studied what helps people grow, heal, and stay connected through trauma, transition, and everyday overwhelm. And I’ve seen how rarely those tools make it into the hands of the people who need them most.
Cultivate LifeLab is my way of changing that. It offers classes, activities, and emotional training tools that support real life—messy, beautiful, often overwhelming life. Everything I design is meant to help people feel more capable, less isolated, and more at home in themselves.
​
I’ve also developed a program on stopping self-injury, and more recently, a television series called Functional—a family drama that explores what emotional health actually looks like in the real world. I’m a big believer in modeling what’s possible—on the page, in the classroom, and in life.
If you’re looking for grounded, human tools for navigating this complicated world—we’re speaking the same language.
I’m glad you’re here.
