Meet Marla, Financial Coach, Nurse Practitioner, Speaker, and Author

My Financial Journey

Life had thrown me a series of challenges that seemed insurmountable. I faced divorce, staggering debt, the tragic loss of a child, and the struggles of being a single mom working in an unfulfilling job.

But I refused to let my circumstances define me. Instead, I chose to rise above and take control of my life. I embarked on a transformative journey that would ultimately lead me to financial freedom and improved health and wellness.

My journey taught me the incredible power of a mindset. I learned that shifting my perspective and believing in myself were essential to overcoming obstacles and achieving success. As I faced each challenge head-on, I cultivated resilience and self-confidence that fueled my determination and growth.

Youth Football 101 for Moms

A Funny, Snarky Survival Guide to Football Basics, Sideline Drama, and Raising a Confident Player

Inside the pages, you'll find:

  • Football basics explained in plain English (no jargon, we promise)

  • Sideline etiquette, fundraising feuds, and snack secrets spilled

This book helped me, as the grandmom of a football player, to understand all that goes on with youth football. It is not just a phase. It is not just a sport. It is a lifestyle. As a parent of a football player, your life no longer resembles your life! It has taken on a life all its own. You arrange your entire life around a ball. You arrange eatting, sleeping, showering, going to the bathroom....all around that ball. So you have daughters and think there is drama? Think again. Football is drama, fun, frustrating, nail-biting, there are injuries, you spend a lot of time in ERs and with Orthopedic Surgeons, and the list goes on! This book will have you laughing, thinking, preparing, and help you navigate this new life you are taking on. Can't wait to see if the author writes another book on College Football...the final frontier...or is it?

Signed a bad car lease and needed guidance

I am so grateful you encouraged me to refinance the car. I saved over 2% on interest.

I was able to put that payment toward my credit card and pay it off in half the time.

Now we moved into our dream home and have a plan for continuing to budget effectively.
