The Radiant Woman Shines

As a college student, Marla boarded a jet plane bound for Europe, where she would discover herself and the larger world of human connections. Flashforward a decade to her role as a busy mom, overcommitting to others while navigating autoimmune flare-ups. Though her life of luxury appeared perfect, she realized she was living in a fog. Could she find adventure again? How could she regain her radiance and become an agent of grace by expanding her horizons? What was her true purpose in this life?



Thankfully, Marla found inner calm through mini-moment meditation practices and ancient yoga wisdom. After years of personal development and self-reflection, she reignited a new sense of joyful contentment and discovered a reservoir of untapped creative resources within.



Through new neural pathways and connections with nature, she began to understand our human right to reinvent, regulate, and reformulate our purpose, allowing us to move through stagnant energies of discomfort. She uncovered hidden and long-forgotten parts of herself. By sitting in quietude, spiraling into twisted postures, turning and squeezing past pains and present anguish, she began to reconstruct her days with conscious intention.



The Radiant Woman Shines is a transformational self-help memoir that offers real-life stories, reflections and actionable tools for women to discover their brilliance amid life's passages. Marla debunks the myth that we must sit quietly in a cave to meditate. Her passion is to guide women to invite more love into their marriages and family units. She offers fresh perspectives on health and wellness, beauty, aging, grief, loss, addiction and relationships through vital living and self-awareness.



Just as the sun shines even when masked by clouds, if our spiritedness goes into hibernation, we must strive to let it rise again by fully stepping into our true nature. Marla's journey of reviving her inner and outer love connections reminds us to spark and discover light in the darkness, the Radiant Woman's Way.
