TUFF Live Wire
Big conversations are on the horizon. Marcela is preparing for an upcoming TED Talk, where she will challenge the way the world views love, marriage, and legacy—exposing the gaps no one talks about and introducing a strategic framework for building relationships that are built to last.
We are also thrilled to be featured in a forthcoming documentary with Inside Success TV, where we go behind the scenes of the Live TUFF Movement—sharing the untold stories, the breakdowns that led to breakthroughs, and the truth about what it really takes to preserve family in the modern world.
