Marilyn is passionate about helping individuals live a fulfilling, purpose-driven life on mission with God. She has been coaching with Breakthrough to Purpose since 2020, after experiencing its impact firsthand in 2017. In addition to BTP, she supports the spiritual growth of others through Faithwalking and facilitating Emotionally Healthy Spirituality and Relationships discipleship courses. By day, Marilyn provides accounting services to small businesses through MarTod Enterprises, but her heart is in guiding others on their own faith journeys.

Marilyn’s love for coaching stems from her own transformation in 2017. When asked, “Do you want your life to look the same a year from now as it does today?” she realized she didn’t. BTP helped her take intentional steps toward change. Marilyn made great strides in rediscovering who God uniquely designed her to be, in developing and strengthening key relationships in her life, and in discovering and integrating things into her life that truly delight her soul! She now walks alongside others as they overcome roadblocks and move towards living a more fulfilling life, full of purpose and impact. Her favorite moments in coaching come when clients reflect on their progress and are surprised to see how far they’ve come.

Outside of coaching and accounting, Marilyn enjoys playing table games with friends and family, hosting dinner gatherings, exploring the Texas Hill Country, and walking the trails near her home. She and her husband share a blended family of five adult children and two grandsons.
