Learn How to Turn your Story and your Struggles into a Thriving Business with guest Marian Bacol-Uba, TedX Speaker, International Best Selling Author, and Founder of the Thriver Lifestyle EP095

One of my top sales secrets that shocks people to this day is: stories make the sales.

People only spend money for products, people and services they feel emotionally connected to in some way. This is why people will be loyal to one brand over another who sells almost the identical thing. This is why people will hire one human over another who both have similar qualifications, talents, and recommendations.

So if you want to stand out from the masses, you must share your unique story and those people who feel impacted by it will become raving fans, followers, and paying customers.

If I didn’t share my stories whether it be how I went from severe abuse to abundance, or how I went from 17k to a millionaire, or how I lost almost a million dollars when I was 30 all from lack of self-worth, how would I be able to greatly impact and engage all of you beautiful souls? By sharing stats, facts, and my credentials….I DON’T THINK SO.

On today’s episode Marian Bacol-Uba, TedX Speaker, International Best Selling Author and Founder of the Thriver Lifestyle will share how she turned her story into a successful business.

Years ago, Marian was a successful marketing executive, yet she still felt unfulfilled, unhappy and dealt with her PTSD and depression through alcohol and substance abuse. It wasn’t until an overdose and out-of-body, near-death experience that she finally WOKE UP! She was given a second chance and has since radically transformed her life and business through holistic health, wellness and mindset mastery.

Marian shares her inspiring “Survivor to Thriver” story globally and empowers women to stop living in survival mode and start thriving in mind, body and soul. She speaks on conscious entrepreneurship, women’s empowerment and leadership, meditation and wellness. She merges her 15+ years of marketing, event production and business development experience with her mission to create positive social impact and help elevate the collective consciousness. Marian has been featured on CBS Los Angeles, Thrive Global, Medium, Elephant Journal, Bustle, SWAAY Media, Miami Under 40 and over 35 podcasts and publications. For more info visit

Overthinking is not a character flaw. It is a biological response to uncertainty, pressure, and identity change.

EP 760 2026 Glow Up Protocol: (THE BODY) How to Get Your Energy, Body, & Skin Snatched- Even If You Feel Unmotivated right now

If your energy feels inconsistent, your body no longer responds the way it used to, and your skin seems to reflect stress more than confidence, this episode explains why that is happening at the identity and nervous system level.

The 2026 Glow Up Protocol begins with the body because every habit, every discipline pattern, and every glow up is controlled by internal safety signals, not motivation.

This episode is part of the 2026 Glow Up Protocol, a 6-part identity reset covering the body, the bank account, the business, the brain, the being, and the boundaries. It is designed for burnt out high achievers who are ready to stop pushing harder and start becoming the version of themselves that success actually sticks to.

EP 759 2026 Glow Up Protocol: (THE BRAND) How to Create a Magnetic Personal Brand That Matches Your True Self

Your personal brand is not your logo, your colors, or your social media bio. It is the identity you live from every single day. It is the story you tell about who you are, what you stand for, and what you believe is possible for your life.

This episode is the starting point of the 2026 Glow Up Protocol, a six part identity transformation playbook designed for high achievers who feel burnt out, disconnected, and ready to deliberately craft a life that feels aligned instead of draining. This is a completely different way to approach personal growth, because nothing changes sustainably until your identity changes first.

Your brand is the hub of the wheel. It is the center that everything else spins from. Your body, your brain, your business, and your relationship with money will never feel stable if the story you tell about yourself is outdated.
