How Has Your Life Changed Since Working With Us?
I’m living the life of my dreams
My Business is going really well and I’m doing this while in a relationship…we’re having so much fun. He’s wonderful, and we’re creating a life together.
Jennifer
I had this idea that maybe love wasn’t really for me
I had this idea that maybe love wasn’t really for me. But as I stand here today, I can tell you every single part of my life, every relationship that I have is deeper and richer already.
Angie
I have stronger family relationships
I am now in the healthiest, most committed relationship I’ve ever been in with a wonderful man. I have stronger family relationships and amazing growth in my career.
Julie
I am much more grounded, I feel more confident
I am much more grounded, I feel more confident, and I used to struggle with depression and now that’s not even an issue. I just feel like I’m living the life that I wanna live now.
Marla
we’re talking about long term partnership
I’ve been in a relationship that’s over a year old, we’re talking about long term partnership. He just said to me, ‘there’s nothing like the feeling that you’re with the last person you’re gonna love…’
Lori
What Were Your Immediate Results?
I really understood that I was somebody’s dream girl
I really understood that I was somebody’s dream girl. Just like I am. I didn’t need to be different, I didn’t need to have anything else. And lo and behold, he turned up and that’s how he sees me. I am his dream girl.
Angie
The best initial results were me actually loving who I am
The best initial results were me actually loving who I am. I didn’t do that before I joined LCE. I think I had an appreciation for myself but I didn’t truly believe that I was worthy of great things.
Marla
Where Were You Before Working With Us?
I WAS 3 YEARS OUT OF MY DIVORCE AND I WASN’T GETTING WHERE I WANTED TO BE
I was 3 years out of my divorce, wasn’t getting where I wanted to be, had spent my whole adult life with the same man, and didn’t know how to move forward. I was settling for crumbs and not getting what I wanted out of life.
Lori
Before working with you everything was such an effort
Before LCE everything was such an effort and I didn’t have a clear vision of how to get where I wanted to be. I had a sense of what it was, and I had a dream, but I also I learned in LCE to just dream a bigger dream.
Angie
What Was Rock Bottom For You?
I had spent a lifetime of creating and supporting a life for other people
The moment I hit rock bottom was when I realized my whole life was a farce and none of it belonged to me. I had spent a lifetime of creating and supporting a life for other people… instead of for myself.
Lori
I could really see myself climbing out of that hole that I was living in
I was really challenged with just functioning and feeling like I was being successful in any part of my life and when having that first conversation with Marni … I could really see myself climbing out of that hole that I was living in.
Julie
My business wasn’t doing much, I’m alone, what’s my legacy going to be?
I had a business that’s not doing much, I’m alone, I haven’t had any children of my own. What is my legacy gonna be? Once I leave this planet, I wouldn’t have left any significant imprint on anybody’s life and that felt really sad to me.
Jennifer
What Else Did You Try?
I had done other programs and what was different for me WAS…
I had done other programs and what was different for me about this was that I really wanted to commit to love, to relationships, to learning how to be open and vulnerable and be female. I hadn’t really ever felt truly myself as a powerful woman until I jumped into the program.
Angie
I tried dating, I joined online programs, I read books, I went to workshops
I tried dating, I joined online programs, I read books, I went to workshops and nothing worked for me. With LCE… everything is different. I love myself 100%. My health is different. I am in a long-term committed relationship and I can’t wait to continue to create our lives together.
Anya
Is This For You?
I just took a chance on my self and it was worth it
I had all the objections you had, I just took a chance on my self and it was worth it.
Angie
I decided to do this program because I knew that I wanted to transform
I decided to do this program because I knew that I wanted to transform my life in ways that therapy wasn’t going to allow me to do. Therapy was not accountable enough, it was just all about me talking. I knew what my problems were but I needed somebody to push me more to take the next step.
Marla
Marni has such an extraordinary gift
Marni and her team are like nothing that I’ve ever come across in my life. She has such an extraordinary gift and the community of women that she has brought together are making so many strides. It starts with this incredible vision for our lives and she has this way of getting us there.
Jennifer
We are in love and committed with each other
Now that I know who I am and I found that wellspring of power in my soul to really express who I am, that’s when I started to create the life that I’ve been dreaming of. And the relationship that I’ve been dreaming of. We are in love and committed with each other at a depth already that I don’t think we would have had if I hadn’t been in the program.
Angie
This program is life-changing and it’s worth it
This event, this program is life changing and it’s worth every investment in yourself because that’s what it is. It’s an investment for yourself for the rest of your life.

I got engaged last night 🙂 My boyfriend proposed on our rooftop looking out on to the Philly skyline. so nice and truly us. I am so happy and excited. Thanks for the Dating Den and all the practical guidance that led me here. It feels awesome! Thanks again for your guidance and positive influence.
Bianca M.
I have found the man of my dreams, and your advice and coaching was an integral part of that. It helped me keep moving forward past the break-ups with the knowing that I was good enough to be with and find the love of my life! Thanks to you and all your great advice, I found the man of my dreams we are having a baby and I am due in five weeks!
Jennah D.
Just got back online dating in earnest now that it’s over with Harry, and the feedback on my profile is off-the-charts good. Wanted to thank you again for all the extra help you gave me to fine-tune it. It's paid off and continues to in attracting quality guys who are serious about a relationship. You have my deepest gratitude.
Jennifer R.
Before now I had never understood the concept of being vulnerable and raw when it came to myself and was always trying to people-please and keep up with what THEY all thought was right for me. I finally took a stance and regained control of my desires and destiny. My work through FLN has deepened my relationship with myself, my family, and my boyfriend--whom I’m now engaged to!
My level of conscious awareness has been raised. My reactions to triggers that were once an automatic default because of my past are now choice points in which I can CHOOSE the outcome. My way of life that I was living was just survival mode before. Doing what it took to get by has been left by the wayside now, and I’m living for the present moment and creating each opportunity exactly as I see fit. I’ve learned to love myself and present myself to the world as an authentic, powerful, feminine woman who deserves to be seen, respected and loved unconditionally!

Rick was talking about some specifics about a potential engagement ring with me this weekend. 🙂 I'm proof that your coaching helped me find the man of my dreams, what I totally deserved! You rock! Keep sharing your gifts, girlfriend.
Denise W.
Six months ago I had a vision of where I wanted to be on the Fourth of July while I was at the retreat in Malibu, and I am here now with THE man who I envisioned. I just wanted to say thank you again for helping me find my life after getting in my own way constantly! I don't remember ever feeling so happy, but even more powerful is this depth of gratitude and joy I feel for my life and those in it!
Jenn P.
Wow! All I can say is I feel SO FULL of life and joy now that I have shifted energy on the inner! It really was like a lightning bolt when we talked. AMAZING things have manifested. I even heard from a nice-sounding guy: spiritual, balanced, fit/healthy, adventurer. Wow, four of my "non-negotiables!" Thanks, Marni, for ALL YOU DO!
Robyn C.
Millions of thanks! I am really astonished and moved by the level of professionalism with which you manage your business, Marni. It is amazing to see the progress since I first got to know you. Last night’s call was very powerful, fast paced, and added a lawyer of strength and power in what is possible for me in the next four weeks. I am left with “you mean business and all women’s success is on your mind and no one gets to fail with you.” I acknowledge your strength, your dedication to others’ success, your success, and your powerful communications. I am grateful for your contribution in my life.
Christina K.
Thank you, Marni, for all that you share! Your ideas are "gold"! You are bringing consciousness to the dating world, through which better matches will be made and better, healthier marriages. Yea! Thank you for your great work!
Suzanne R.
I was having hang-ups of the old me and was keeping myself safe and not believing I could achieve the weight I so desired. Even when we were done with our meeting, I knew I wasn't on board 100% like I needed to be. So I pushed myself and encouraged myself lovingly to get my mindset right! I dealt with my fears and my safety net and woke up one day with the clarity and determination to really let go of my old self-loathing tendencies and made the change in my heart and mind. I'm happy to say it's changed everything. I'm down 13 pounds, I have more energy, and I'm moving closer to my goal.
But the real change is inside where my excuses are void and my choices to love myself and make this happen are clear! I had a milestone while I was dressing in front of the mirror and seeing myself skinnier and my face thinner, and I was tearing up out of pure joy and acceptance of myself and seeing where I'm going. I feel like the one thing that was holding me back after improving my self-awareness was my weight. I'm overjoyed at this whole process and so thankful to have you in my life. Thank you for doing what you do. I have literally changed my life, and you are the catalyst who made it happen. I am eternally grateful.

Not only did I meet some wonderful, loving and brave women at the retreat, but I have since experienced such a shift in perceptions and feelings of the world around me. I don't have the words to express my gratitude, love and respect for the women who took this journey with me. I will remember them as I anchor to the memory of their eyes looking back upon me as I stated my vision and my claim to you at the fireplace. It was the most amazing and heart-warming experience I have had. I was able to see the beauty in each woman that was shining from within as I felt their love and support for me in that moment. I learned so much about myself in their stories. Thank you for creating a space of love for me to find myself.
Kim
It's literally all falling into place after coaching with you for seven months! Got a place to move into! Whoo hoo! Attracted a man, a job that I love, and now a place. Things are on the rise! Yay! And, a funny thing happened after our session that I never expected! My sister-in-law offered to make me lunch! So funny; the first time in over 1 year. Things change when we change. It's awesome!
Jane V.
I have done your course for Becoming Irresistible, and I have to say it worked! I am in a very beautiful loving relationship with a man I loved and love. Thanks!
Carolina L.
"I first knew about you through YouTube. Then I downloaded your free dating book and later had a cll with you and we talked for hours. I told you of how much an Alpha Woman I am. And with all that said and done, I've finally found myself the best boyfriend ever. He's everything I've ever wanted for. With him I am me, and I'm loved the way I am. We are best friends first before being lovers. I would choose him over and over again. We have been dating for five months now, and I've never been this happy and settled. Thank you so much for your guidance in finding true happiness."
Ashley M.
Martin and I are now celebrating our 3rd Christmas together and we simply could not be happier. Our relationship is exactly what I had in my vision and I remain super grateful for the work we did during the LA workshop.
Trekking over 300km in the high Himalayan Mountains with the love of my life is my definition of bliss. Your program remains the most life-changing program of my life.

URDAH H.
Thank you for the knowledge you have given me. The information has continued to be life changing. I had struggled with finding a relationship since the beginning and often blamed myself 'I am not good enough' and that no one would love me. I am so blessed that I choose to take the leap since what you taught me has change the perspective about myself. The support from you, Tessa and the group, being in a place to open up in a safe space, and now finding love for life.
Mimi T.
Through your program, I realized I was being a victim my whole life, which was the most eye opening part. It helped me to see things differently and change who I was so that I wasn’t going back to my old habits. I got a great guy that has helped me to grow and be a better person. I am so grateful to you. You had a huge influence on my life decisions and I’m eternally grateful for that!
Danielle C.
I just want to say thank you for all of your amazing advice, guidance and support. I seriously have the men in my life completely shifting the way they are with me, and all I'm doing is accepting exactly where and who they are and communicating the "right" way. I can't thank you enough.
Erinn S.
I went on four dates with three different men in seven days. (That has never happened before in my life.) I felt empowered, feminine and in control--and I also felt I was communicating my needs/wants/desires in a respectful way to the men. All in all, I felt I stepped out of my comfort zone, I made more eye contact with men, I got out of my own way, and I did what you said to do. Quite the amazing experience!!!
Melissa R.
I use positive communications skills, which has kept my relationship happy and healthy! It's my best relationship because of EVERYTHING I learned in your program. Life changing, amazing stuff that's so easy to do. 🙂
Tracy J.
I am for the first time in my life entering into a relationship with a high-quality man who adores me and who I am adoring in return (So exciting.)! I am collecting data, setting boundaries, sharing my feelings and being myself--and it's working. I am starting my own business, and I am the happiest and most confident I have ever been in my life.
Stacie S.
What would it have cost me if I’d not enrolled in Find Love Now? Well, another five years where the only man I saw every night was The Janitor! Now I have three dates lined up for this weekend alone! And I have a sense of compassion toward the men I meet and for myself, as we are all working on our journeys.
I’ve always had a reputation for being happy and confident on the outside, but the brutal self-judgment and loathing going on in my head kept me on a path of isolation from deep, true intimacy. How could I possibly entertain loving someone else when I didn't love myself?
Now I realize this and have been given tools to turn it all around. Loving myself, giving myself room to feel feelings and to fail, and letting go of my superhuman expectations of myself have allowed me to be at a place of calm, love, and joy. I don't take things personally as much, I catch myself when acting out in conflict, and I let myself cry and be vulnerable.
Wow! I am a woman: a true, humanly woman who has so much to give, the ability to receive, and the power to create an amazing authentic life!

I used to be the girl who had my wall up so high that nobody was able to get close to me. I was badly hurt in past relationships, and I did not want to open up again. After working with you, I let down my wall. I’m in the best relationship that I’ve ever been in. We met on New Years shortly after taking your program and we’ve been together for almost seven months now. He just came home with me to meet my family, and my family approves of him. In the past they never liked the guys I took home. He is committed to me and I trust him. Before working with you I always had a hard time trusting people. After I started believing in me and knowing that I am a catch, it has become easy to trust him. Your skills like “No Combat Communication” have also helped our relationship. When an issue or problem arises in our relationship, we work through it. In the past I would just bottle my emotions and my feelings because I was scared that if I spoke my mind, he would leave.

I've been involved in personal development for over 15 years now, immersing myself in countless books, seminars & coaching. In fact, I am a speaker & coach myself....but all good coaches know we NEED coaches, too. Everything I've been doing has led me to a life of sincere inner joy, clarity & personal peace...& I embrace that this is an ongoing process. However, there were some blocks around dating & true love that I just couldn't see. I knew something wasn't working, but we are so used to living in our own life every day, it can be difficult to figure out what's really going on. I'm so eternally grateful to have had Marni walk into my life to help me identify those blind spots - and, more importantly, show me what to do about them. The quality of men I am dating now has definitely elevated to a new level & I'm having more fun than ever! She has helped me learn how to openly receive in my true feminine nature so I am completely in tune with the man I am dating. She also taught me how to set boundaries in a heart centered way. I now know how to authentically ask for what I need - being both soft & strong - which is the true essence of an empowered woman! I now honestly believe true love is possible....deep in my heart & soul. I'm not just wanting it or wishing for it, I BELIEVE in it....& there is such a difference. Marni is a true gem & I honestly cherish the work we have done together!
Elle
On this day that celebrates love [Valentine's Day], I just wanted to say THANK YOU for showing me what that word truly means. You showed me how to take control of my life, love myself, how my happiness depends on me, and how in turn I can love other people in a healthy way.
Marni, I will be forever grateful for all the support and guidance you have given me! I think about your words and our discussions all the time, looking back at my notes and checking your website to keep myself "in check" every so often. I can't tell you how many times I've shared those four questions you had me answer. I literally just had my girlfriend whose boyfriend was cheating on her do this exercise; and just as I did, she keeps it in her wallet and looks at it whenever she starts to feel depressed or wallows in her self-pity.
Thank you for helping me change my life!! You are an absolute inspiration.

I wanted to let you know that after our conversation on Thursday, I went on a date last with the guy I was texting with. (He offered to take me on a full first date and "sweep me off my feet.") I had a wonderful time, and he kind of did sweep me off my feet. I was nervous on the way, of course. But I totally relaxed and was 100% myself. He was great and nothing like my preconceptions. We both had a good time. I’m so excited that I feel renewed and elated. You are such a huge help to me.
Sara B.
Hope all is well with you. I think you’ll be pleased to know that I just got engaged! And I have to say I wouldn’t be where I am with the love of my life today if it wasn’t for your courses.
