Once upon a time, Marian’s life appeared to be a smash success from the outside looking in. However, she gradually began asking, “Is this all there is?” and craving more meaningful fulfillment. Today, she’s waking up inspired, humbled at the joy she feels in her own life, and delighted to help others fuel their own unique success stories. Marian loves this work, admires her clients, and will become your devoted champion. She falls asleep grateful each night with her husband and cats in Chicago.
