Quotes by Marian Bacol-Uba:

“We think we’re supposed to know exactly what we’re doing… but as you lean into the things that light your our soul on fire, you realize it’s a pathway for your purpose to unfold.”
“The more I spoke about [the sexual abuse I experienced], the more power shifted from something that overpowered me with guilt and shame to something that I alchemized into my fire fuel.”
“We always have our imposter syndrome… and over the years I realized that just how I did it in my personal life, I needed to merge the two – the strategy and soul in my business. That’s when my business grew exponentially. Because there’s heart and soul in the business. I truly believe that we need both.”
“On the other side of discomfort is upleveling.”
“You’re seeing it more because it’s ready to become part of your reality.”
