"Marcia's dedication to women and commitment to share the financial knowledge that is important for all women to know by bringing together her Money Wise Women series, makes her one of the most selfless individuals I have ever met.

To have the opportunity to hear Marcia speak will truly be one of the most empowering moments of your life." - Debbie Whitlock, Sound Financial Partners

The forums' topics cover many elements for gaining control over our lives and futures, and are very empowering." - Sherri Edwards, Resource Maximizer
"What can I say, Marcia has Moxie!! In January 2008 I attended my first Money Wi$e Woman conference to observe and learn. At the end of the day I was deeply impacted by Marcia's passion and enthusiasm and her authentic approach to educating women on money and finance, I said to myself, I need to introduce myself to that woman and find out how I can contribute to the cause. Since then I have participated as a speaker at three of her conferences and I am amazed each time how women walk away feeling empowered and excited that they can take control of their finances. If you have not done so already, attend one of Marcia's conferences and see how you can take control of your finances." - Debbie Rosenfelt, Financial Mapping, LLC

"Few grassroots organizations have made as much impact as MoneyWi$eWomen seminars in as many lives for women. Intended for women and taught by women the seminars are both accessible and broad based to meet the needs of every woman regardless of her age or her financial condition. It is the first of its kind to care enough to hold the participant accountable, if they so request. Now, MoneyWi$eWomen seminars is captured in Marcia's book, 'The Money Therapist.' Snapshots of women's experiences are strung through her book to keep the readers vision occupied while gently redefining the audience's perception of personal financial responsibility and accountability. From her book, thousands more women's money paradigm will be clarified and financial futures will reach their full potential. As a speaker, Marcia can bring each member of an audience to an individual financial reality check, and forever empowering and encouraging. Her humor builds an instant rapport with her audience and infuses them with her passion for their financial well being. Few speakers have the sweeping motivation to act that Marcia offers through passion and compassion." - Kelley Olsen

"Thank you so much for hosting the SAC conference this past Saturday. I was totally excited about my future when I left the conference. I immediately went home and started opening bills and clearing off my desk. I organized a ton of stuff and composed a more realistic budget. My husband and I had a serious discussion about our finances that did not end in a fight. For the first time in years I actually feel hopeful about our financial situation. I can't wait until next years conference!" - Sonja E
"I'm 17 and just starting to deal with debt and bills. Although I'm not in debt yet I'm sure I will have to deal with it in the future and this conference has really helped me get ready for what's ahead.

"My friend told me she would buy my ticket to this financial seminar - I had to admit, at first I thought it was going to be some sort of sales thing, and then I read about it and I thought, this is going to be like eating vegetables, you don't like it, but you know it's good for you so you do it!! (Actually I love my veggies, but you know what I'm sayin'.) What a pleasant surprise!! I have to say I learned more today about my money than I have in years - which basically I'm not very good with my money, so what a great learning experience for me! It was all day and they had some really fantastic speakers and breakout sessions. I just really enjoyed myself. I'm telling you ladies, and guys too, if you need to learn the basics about your money, this non-profit organization's conference is really a great thing to attend. I foresee it being on Oprah someday, so go now when it's still cheap and you can get a seat!!" - Donna W
"In my 24 years, this is the most impressive event I have been involved in. I have never seen a group better aligned with what we want from an event.

They are exactly the type of people we want to bring to State Farm." - Kathy Northrop, Northrop Insurance & Financial Services, Inc.

"You have been a marvelous inspiration to me. My own story is one of learning valuable lessons - albeit too late, but now using what I’m learning to motivate myself and those around me to make sure we look after the women in our lives and not to become complacent. My immediate goal is sharing all I’m learning with family and friends, and then maybe, once I’m more financially secure, being able to get out and help others find the financial freedom that is truly available to a lot of us. I have several nieces who range in age from 5 to 25, and even though their parents are guiding them fairly well, I am sharing my 43 year old story and telling them to start now!" - Jo Hood

"Your workshop this past Saturday was exactly what I needed to give me the courage to continue the fight through the blackberry patch of my financial problems and their effect on every part of my life. I made some phone calls this morning which I had been putting off for years. I have been so paralyzed with fear and shame that I have been stuck, unable to deal with even some of the simplest issues in my financial life. I hope that as I use the tools and the knowledge I am receiving now because of the Forum I attended, that I will begin to recover and move forward again and eventually have a story which will be of value to other women." - Jennifer C
"I had been worried about straightening out my finances for a long time. Figuring out where to start was overwhelming, so I just kept putting the dreaded task off. I attended a Moneywise Women forum in January 2006. This event gave me concrete ideas about how to get my finances in order. Figuring out what I needed to do wasn't so daunting anymore. In fact, taking steps to get fiscally fit has been quite empowering. I've been able to accomplish so much in the past two months, and I'm looking at money matters in an entirely different light. MWW literally changed my life. Thank you!" - Ann V
