About the Guest:
After working in the non-profit sector at the executive level for more than 15 years, Marilyn stepped away to create Next Frontier Parenting. Marilyn found she loved working with young high school and college aged students throughout her career but felt she could be doing more. It became clear to her that adults weren’t quite sure how to support teens. Today Marilyn works as a parenting advocate and is not afraid of having the conversations that every parent of teens should be having – the brave, loving, optimistic conversations. She is most passionate about helping people see their potential and truly understand there are no limits to what you can achieve in this life.
