As a child, Marnie’s unique voice earned her the nickname “The Rasp” from her dad. When other adults told her she’d never be a singer or that she talked too much, not only did Marnie start silencing herself, but she also began questioning her internal voice. She knew when she shared her truth—the way she’d done during a schoolwide presentation as a teen—it was life-changing. But more often, like many young women trying to make their way in the world, she muted and molded herself to accommodate others. It wasn’t until she traveled abroad and created a life far from home that she started finding her way back to her inner voice. And as she continued to explore the globe and connect with nature and with others, she discovered her inner voice was amplified.
In her memoir, “My Song, Unleashed,” Marnie Dachis Marmet takes readers through her journey of personal transformation. From the painful experiences that make her question everything to the beautiful revelations that bare the truth, Marnie ultimately shares what every woman needs to know: When you pay attention to and trust your voice, it leads you to what you truly want and value and, ultimately, what makes your heart sing.
Advance Praise:
“My Song, Unleashed’ is a delightful memoir about love, loss, compassion and finding one’s own path in life. Born into a large, well-known Minneapolis family, Marnie’s place in the world seemed almost preordained. Yet, it’s only when Marnie’s journeys take her away from her family and out in the world that she begins to find her voice and learn to trust her innate wisdom. Reading ‘My Song, Unleashed’ is like chatting with a close friend. Not only will you be rooting for Marnie through the pages of this memoir, her wisdom will help you lean into your own. A lovely read!”
