Survivor
I help women who've survived something life-altering like breast cancer stop waiting to feel ready and start building the life they actually want.
How I Work with Clients
My 1:1 coaching intensive is a 90-day container designed for women navigating a major life pivot- whether that's life after a cancer diagnosis, rebuilding identity after illness, or finding purpose on the other side of trauma. This isn't surface-level motivation. We go deep, move fast, and build a life you're actually excited to wake up to.
We meet consistently over 90 days with sessions held in person at in Gilbert, Arizona or virtually — whatever serves you best. Together we work through the fear, the identity questions, and the "what now?" that no doctor, treatment plan, or well-meaning friend could answer for you.
By the end of our time together, you'll have a clear sense of who you are on the other side of what you've been through, a concrete direction for what comes next, and the confidence to pursue it — without waiting until you feel "ready."
This intensive is for you if you're done surviving and ready to start living.

Hi, I'm Marina Blackford-a two-time breast cancer survivor, marathon runner, motivational speaker, and life coach.
After being diagnosed with breast cancer twice in my 30's, I chose to live beyond the fear, fatigue, and uncertainty. I've run the Boston Marathon, built a monetized YouTube channel reaching millions, and spoken on stages to inspire others to reclaim their lives after cancer. Now, I help people do the same.
Whether you're navigating a diagnosis, stuck in survival mode or ready to dream again-I'm here to guide you.
You don't need to wait until you're "done" with cancer to start living again. You can live beyond-starting now.
