Marni Spencer-Devlin is a bestselling author, transformational artist, executive coach, and dynamic speaker whose life story is a testament to resilience, authenticity, and the power of purpose.

As the founder and former President and CFO of odcm marketing, a multi-million dollar direct mail advertising firm with seventy employees, Marni achieved extraordinary professional success. Yet, her most profound accomplishments arose from the personal adversities she overcame.

Marni’s early life was marked by trauma, including molestation, rape, addiction, homelessness, and even prison. However, these hardships became the crucible in which she discovered her strength. After a transformative period of self-reflection and growth, Marni not only rebuilt her life but also launched a thriving business, proving that it is possible to rise from the ashes of despair.

Her journey took another pivotal turn when a deadly diagnosis halted her fast-paced life. Instead of succumbing, Marni experienced a profound awakening, uncovering what she calls the Iceberg Principles — insights into the hidden truths of the Universe that redefined her understanding of life and purpose. This revelation filled her with renewed vitality and set her on a mission to inspire others.

Marni is the author of four powerful books:

Crawling Into the Light– A deeply personal memoir detailing her journey from tragedy to triumph.

The Iceberg Principles– A guide to understanding the unseen forces that shape our lives.

The List Method– A science-based approach to finding the love of your life.

Phoenix– A raw, unflinching account of her rise from the depths of addiction and despair to self-discovery and healing.

In addition to her writing, Marni coaches professional women, helping them break through personal and professional barriers. She also expresses her transformative journey through large-scale, emotionally evocative wall art designed to reconnect viewers with their inner joy and healing, showcased at marnispencerdevlinart.com.

Marni publishes two newsletters:

Art as Healing, which explores the therapeutic power of art.

Today, Marni lives with her soulmate, dividing her time between the serene Sequoia National Forest and the picturesque Umbria region of Italy.

Through her art, coaching, and writing, she continues to inspire people to embrace authenticity, overcome adversity, and living with purpose.
