What People Are Saying About the Coaching
“Marron! OMGEE!
As a married woman for 30+ years with adult children, I didn’t think that I could fit into your business model. I thought to myself, what could I possibly gain from such a session. Much to my surprise, I gained a sense of self-awareness about my emotions (uncontrolled) with my adult daughter and what she needs from me. Although she is a married woman expecting her first child, she still needs her Mommy. I also learned that I needed to let go of the guilt that I internalize because of my own expectations for myself as a wife. I learned that my season of busyness will not last forever and that I should lean into the authentic love and support that my husband gives daily. I learned a lot in one hour, and I am amazed! THB, it felt like when Oprah had interviews with people, they cried, lol! Sometimes the truth can flush emotions to surface upon realization.
You are a wise Counsel! Thank you for providing a much-needed service that has helped me, and I believe can help any woman at any stage of her life. Cheers to the many healings and self-acceptances that you will help bring about!”

“I thoroughly enjoyed my coaching session with Marron. The prompts illuminated the underlying expectations and assumptions that drive how I view my role as a mother, as a wife, and as a professional. More importantly, it helped me reshape what I actually want to be true in my life, freeing me from those imposed expectations. There is so much that I take for granted that I "should" do or "should" be that "should" has become my default setting. The suite of resources, book of poems, blogs, and the coaching sessions, were very useful in my path in finding balance as I navigate all the roles that I play and reset who I want to be. Give yourself the precious gift of time and necessary reflection - it's so easy to lose yourself in all the daily commitments and noise! It's a process that takes time, but the end result is so worth it. Marron listens, asks great questions, and makes the session fun. I can't wait to continue on this journey with her as my coach!.”

I had the opportunity to talk with Marron about a big upcoming change my family will be experiencing. Her exercise allowed me to look below the surface and uncover my true feelings on the matter. While I’m excited for what’s to come, I was ignoring all of the other emotions I was feeling. Marron has a way of holding space for you to get to the bottom of it and create something beautiful for you to reflect back on. I never imagined that my feelings, my words, could look so poetic but they did! Super grateful I was able to experience this!
