“Sometimes we need to remember there’s more to our story than what we see right now.”
Hi, I’m Marie
I’m an author, speaker, and coach. I’m also a consultant, working with organizations to strengthen their culture. I’m passionate about family. My husband and I have six children, and we adopted our youngest from South Africa in 2015. My favorite nickname is “Lolli” (my term for grandma). We have three precious grandchildren. And I absolutely love my life.
If this weren’t my story, I wouldn’t think it’s possible to say those words when you’ve experienced so much brokenness.
But it is. It is possible for me, and it’s possible for you too. Everything beautiful about my world was birthed mainly through pain.
Here’s some of the hardship I’ve endured:
My first daughter was born at 26 weeks of pregnancy and only lived 20 minutes.
My father died after an intense eight-month battle with lung cancer.
My first husband was the man who committed the Amish schoolhouse shooting.
But these moments are not the definition of my life. They are a part of my story but don’t define me.
I’ve learned that life is about perspective–what we’re looking for is what we’ll find. We may not be able to control our circumstances, but we’re the only ones who can choose our perspective. One choice holds the power to change the trajectory of our lives.
On my darkest day, October 2, 2006, I chose to believe that God would rescue my family. And that choice changed everything.
Here’s my story~
As a transformational speaker, I empower individuals to deepen their faith and strengthen their mindset, which enables them to love their life (regardless of circumstance).
While everyone has a unique story, we all experience pain and disappointment. In our difficulties, the breakthrough comes when we are willing to look for more than a life dictated by circumstance.
I share inspiration and a relevant perspective applicable to all attendees throughout my events. Listeners will walk away with a duplicatable framework they can use to overcome obstacles, deepen their relationship with God, and experience personal transformation.

Marie was a tremendous blessing to our women. She is transparent, sincere, and is committed to teaching God’s Word. She challenged our women which has resulted in us staying connected after the retreat. We would highly recommend Marie.
God went above and beyond all we could ask or think when He brought you to us! I had so many women tell me how powerful your testimony and Q&A time was. You are a wonderful steward of the treasures and experiences He has entrusted you with.
