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

Ep 792 Why Success, Growth & Healing can Feel so Lonely

There’s a lonely season that happens before your life changes.

The season where you start outgrowing old conversations, old relationship dynamics, old coping mechanisms, and even old versions of yourself. From the outside, it can look like you’re becoming more successful, more visible, more confident, and more aligned. But internally? It can feel isolating while your nervous system, identity, standards, and relationships are trying to catch up to the level you’re stepping into.

In this episode, Tiffany Carter opens up about the emotional side of personal growth, business expansion, identity transformation, success, visibility, and reinvention that people rarely talk about.

This conversation is especially for entrepreneurs, high achievers, creatives, and ambitious women who feel disconnected as they build their next level.

Ep 791 Fire Horse Year Wake-Up Call: Why You Haven’t Hit Your Next Level Yet

If you have been feeling the pull toward your next level but something is not fully clicking, this episode is your wake-up call.

There is a specific kind of tension that happens when you know you are capable of more, you can feel the expansion, but your results are not fully matching that energy yet. This is where a lot of people either rise or stay in the same cycle.

In this episode, I break down what is actually happening beneath the surface when you are not hitting your next level in business and life, and why it has less to do with strategy and more to do with decision, fear, and how you are showing up.

This is not about doing more. It is about getting honest about what is really holding you back and shifting how you move forward.

There is a massive gap right now between what looks good online and what actually produces revenue. A lot of business advice sounds aligned, polished, and strategic, but it doesn’t translate into real profit for most people.

This is not about doing more. It is about understanding what actually works so you can focus your time, energy, and money in the right places.
