Leisa H.

"Marilyn "held space" for me. She listened attentively. She nudged, challenged, and sparked my inner get-up-and-go. I'm carrying my accountability session with her now into my second week since we talked. Thanks to Marilyn, I hit a much-needed reset button. Marilyn exudes a quite confidence and lives her life in a holistic, inspiring manner. She infused those qualities into our session. I am grateful."

"My time with Marilyn was priceless. We discussed a project that I have been putting off for quite some time. I was focused on what it was that was blocking me from completing it and what was getting in the way. Marilyn asked me if that really mattered and then suggested that we use this session as a working session. Within less than 45 minutes we completed and scheduled what I have been struggling with for months. Marilyn is a "get it done master!" If you need a little boost or a swift kick in the buttocks to get you to the next level, Marilyn is the one for the job. You will be so glad that you have found her."

"Marilyn is the definition of a coach. Very professional, gentle - but to the point. A complete natural at coaching. She quickly helped reveal a part of my life that needed some strengthening and recommended a great resource for me. I am following her suggestion and feeling much more focused already."

Side-Hustles

A stylist is for the Rich and Famous my friends said, how are you going to find someone good in your budget? Well, it was a bit of the Irish Luck, I’d say!

Remember High School Graduation?

Life Coaching

Today was my youngest son’s High School Graduation. It is a mile marker, to be sure, not only for him but for all of us in his life. As the four of us drove to the ceremony at 8:30am this morning, I reflected on how many times he and I had made this drive to school. Many times, sitting in…
