Find Your Purpose.
Live Your Dream.
Career & Life Coach, Marsha Friedman
Are you struggling to survive?
You are divorced, widowed, or a single parent. You recently lost your job or need to find one. You are an empty nester or the glue that holds the generations together.
No one understands the challenges you face. No one knows how lonely, scared, and afraid you feel.
I know you, you are a survivor.
You have what it takes get through, to regain your confidence, to rebuild what you have lost. Right now, you just need a little guidance.
I know exactly how you feel... I was that person.
My life has been a series of setbacks and losses starting with bankruptcy and divorce and culminating with the loss of my best friend, my husband, and my job.
- I know what it is like to wake up to a life that you didn’t choose.
- I know what it is like to feel lonely, afraid, and exhausted.
- I know what it is like to decide between choices that rank from bad to worse.
I am the Comeback Queen. I’ve rebuilt my credit, rekindled my spiritual life, raised successful independent children, re-established my career, and reclaimed love again (and again). I moved from barely surviving to thriving in a life filled with abundance and joy! I’ve found my purpose and am living my dream life.
My passion is helping other women move from struggling to survive to thriving in the life they choose.
I know you, you are a survivor.
You have what it takes get through, to regain
your confidence, to rebuild what you have lost.
Right now, you just need a little guidance.
