Testimonials for Life Coaching & The Passion Test
When I first came to Marilyn in the Spring of 2009, I felt completely lost and powerless. I had graduated from college the year before, and by doing so, felt as if the foundation on which I constructed my life had disappeared. All of my goals were built around obtaining knowledge, but I hadn’t learned yet who I was and how to obtain what I really wanted.
Within our first session, Marilyn helped me realize my own potential. I uncovered the passionate dreamer within me who was full of great ideas, and I began bringing those dreams to life. Through Marilyn’s guidance, I became clear on what exactly I wanted, and she encouraged me every step of the way never to give up, to be courageous and overcome my fears, and to view limitations as opportunities to be grow and to be creative.
It is said that if you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day, but if you teach a man to fish, you will feed him for a lifetime. In the same way, Marilyn taught me not only how to live a joyful and fulfilling life, but she also gave me the tools to construct it for myself. Having Marilyn as a life coach, mentor, and friend has been one of the most valuable decisions of my life.

Marilyn’s coaching has helped me forge a new direction for my life and helped my jump out of my rut! I’ve always had lots of interests and I’ve been able to move from one career to the next very easily, but I’ve reached the point in my life where I really wanted to figure out what excited me the most and try and get a bit more depth and focus in my life.
I had all sorts of opportunities in front of me and I was paralyzed by too many choices. I had spent almost two years trying to figure out what I really wanted to do with my life and I had reached the point where I was just spinning my wheels and not making any sort of progress. I had spent months reading books, doing exercises, talking with friends and family, but I wasn’t getting anywhere. I was frustrated and didn’t know where to turn to gain some clarity and finally reach my “a-ha moment.”
A friend gave me Marilyn’s card and I met with her to see if she could help me look at my situation a bit differently.
I was a bit skeptical about the Passion Test at first, but once I completed it and we discussed the results my thinking started to become more focused.
My passions weren’t specifically job related but they allowed me to envision the
type of lifestyle I really wanted. By bringing my attention to the lifestyle I was interested in creating the different career paths I was considering began to either adapt or drop out of contention.
The Passion Test results allowed me to focus on what I really wanted from life and several career paths became apparent and felt right.
Marilyn then discussed several of these career paths with me and we got to the heart of why I was stuck. I had known all along what I really wanted to do, but I was so afraid of changing my current (albeit unsatisfactory) lifestyle that I wasn’t allowing myself to move forward. Once we figured out that time management and spending my time on projects that had meaning to me was the most important thing for me to focus on I felt as though a weight had been lifted.
Thanks to Marilyn and her coaching I’m now excited about moving forward with my life! Her coaching was a wonderful experience and one I would highly recommend to anyone!

under her wing when I moved to the East Coast. I had no family and
friends and was 4 months pregnant when I met her. She was with me in the
hospital for the birth of my son and is and always will be a part of our family.

It’s a difficult task to articulate the major influence you’ve had on my life.Working with you in the Women’s Passion Group brought me hope. You helped me access my power,
and in so doing, gave me the tools to lead a much richer, juicier life.
I really enjoyed the work, and the presence it brought to my life. That you stood firm about doing our
homework was a great help to me. Previously, when in therapy, I found that once I left the “comfort” of the theraputic environment, I would only return to previous state of despair, surrounding the tragic accident that took my beloved husband’s life.
The tools you provided to the group are user-friendly, and I am able to practice them everyday. And it’s fun!
I would welcome the opportunity to work with you again, and heartily recommend you and your precious skills to anyone interested in a result-oriented coaching.
Love and blessings to you, maestra,

her valuable contacts and knowledge in service of others is at once
empowering and humbling. Around her I have felt tha she is really
only concerned withthe success of whatever projects I share with
her and is relentless until assured that she can make a measurable
difference-much like a true friend or a loving parent! Needless to say,
her priceless introductions, breakthrough ideas and influential contacts

Working with Marilyn had changed the way I view life. She has truly
helped me to see how I want my life to look, instead of how I don’t
want my life to look. She’s always very supprtive and positive in
helping me to achieve my goals. Taking the Passion Test really
helped me to zero in on what is important in my life and to follow
some dreams. I enjoyed watching the movie The Secret and thinking
about and using the Law of Attraction. It works if you use it and it
doesn’t if you don’t. Thank you, Marilyn.
