Since MasterChef Canada, Mary can be seen as host of her own cooking show Mary’s Big Kitchen Party and as a regular Food Expert on CTV’s Your Morning, The Marilyn Denis Show, and The Social. As she continues to develop recipes for her blog, A Small Stove, Mary is currently working on her first of two cookbooks with Appetite by Penguin Random House, to be released in Spring/Summer 2019 and Spring/Summer 2021.

Despite being featured in FORBES, GIRLBOSS, NYLON, FLARE and more within the first two years of launching her business, when she started she did not have formal education, past experience, or knowledge of the online space. She is proof that massive change is possible for everyone, and results can happen fast- even if you've had to overcome major obstacles and confidence issues which she will share with you in her talk. She allowed her intuition, passion and spirit to guide her into creating a life that surpassed even her wildest dreams.

Marlene and Thuy are on a mission to inspire women to earn, spend, save and give with purpose. They deliver workshops and programs that build the confidence and competence for women to take control of their money, feel good about their spending, and crush their income goals.
After devoting a combined 30 years to the financial advice industry, Marlene and Thuy faced a fork in the road. They wanted the freedom to provide money advice to individuals, but didn’t want that advice to be encumbered by the sale of products and services. Out of a desire to do what was aligned with their values, they co-founded Falcon Lam as a fee-only financial planning practice in 2014. Through this incredible journey, they have discovered that clients need more than just number-crunching--they want to feel more confident, competent and in control of their future. This led to the creation of a unique financial consulting approach that combines money empowerment backed by numbers. Today, they help exceptional women to fulfill the lifestyle they want to live, and for many, make a difference in the world! Their fun-loving, compassionate style puts people at ease and their common-sense approach to money makes it easy for clients to take positive action immediately. Marlene and Thuy have been friends for over 12 years. They are both naturally curious, and share a love of learning, entertaining, cooking and spending time outdoors with their family and friends. PRESENTATIONS Spending with Purpose Join Marlene and Thuy for a fun, interactive and open discussion about money. You’ll get a clearer sense of your own money story, and they will share what they have learned as professionals and as individuals. Like many entrepreneurial women, they went through the “yo-yo years” when income fluctuated unpredictably, their income goals had no meaning and weren’t aligned to what mattered most to them. Today, having applied the principles that they continue to share with a growing community of women, they are living their lives empowered to earn, spend, save and give with purpose! |
