Marianne is an exceptional host with her own story of transformation in midlife. She is intellectually curious, listens so well, and asks questions that go deeper than most. I felt like I was having a catch up with a long lost friend. I highly recommend Message in the Middle to anyone, male or female, navigating midlife and feeling stuck or turned upside down by life's disruptions. Great experience!
