"Marion’s ability to hold a room, speak from the heart, and make every woman feel seen is nothing short of remarkable."

"I write this recommendation as the CEO of WNA (and as someone who has experienced money strong’s Money for life VIP program personally). I have also had the joy of watching Marion take her powerful skills to audiences at scale.

Marion is more than a Certified Money Coach—she’s a passionate advocate for women’s financial independence, a powerful storyteller, and an authentic voice for change. I’ve watched her captivate audiences at events and masterclasses. 

From a keynote address on financial independence, to sharing the stage with the former Lord Mayor of Melbourne, Marion’s ability to hold a room, speak from the heart, and make every woman feel seen is nothing short of remarkable. Whether she’s in a boardroom, on stage or behind the scenes coaching women through their money stories, Marion shows up with purpose, power and deep integrity.

It is with this confidence, that WNA is honoured to engage money strong to build a financial capability program to be rolled out nationally to our members in 2025."

"I was fortunate enough to have Marion from money strong present on Financial Wellness at a number of our Daughters of the West program.

Our Health and Wellbeing program, aims to empower women by providing them with the tools, knowledge, and resources to improve and look after their health and Marion's presentation did just that. 

To account for our various groups which ran from the inner west of Melbourne right up to Ballarat, Marion and her team were able to tailor the presentation to meet our community’s needs.  

Their warm nature ensured our participants felt comfortable to engage in the presentation and ask questions, with many expressing how much they had learnt afterwards. We look forward to working with them again in the future."

"Megan’s expertise and insight proved invaluable throughout the design and delivery of the program, combined with her kind and encouraging approach to coaching and support"

"In 2020, Wake by Reach received funding from Ecstra Foundation to bring the Glassbreaker program to life.  Glassbreaker was a financial literacy and confidence program designed to inspire young women to smash through ceilings and achieve financial freedom. 

Megan, in her former role as GM in Education and Advice at a major super fund played a leading role in the success of the initial pilot in both the initial design and delivery of the pilot. 

Megan’s expertise and insight proved invaluable throughout the design and delivery of the program, combined with her kind and encouraging approach to coaching and support. Many participants noted that her contributions were a highlight throughout the program, and that the insights they had gained from Megan would significantly help them. 

Off the back of the success of the pilot, further funding was received from Ecstra Foundation, which enabled us to refine and deliver the program for young women throughout 2021, working with nearly 200 participants."
