Marilyn Horton
MARILYN HORTON believes life is meant to be lived beautifully, enthusiastically, and with intention. Known as Your Optimism Guru, an Experiences Curator, and the creative force behind Vivenza Studios, she helps people design lives they truly love. Each day, she guides others to align their choices with a clear vision—building not only a life they love now but also a legacy that lasts for generations. She lovingly calls this art “Life Curation.”
She hosts The Vivenza Pathway podcast, created #DailyCheer—a cheerful start to every day—and leads experiences that inspire curiosity, courage, and joy. Whether she’s exploring walkable cities, mapping her next great adventure, or curating intimate legacy events with others, she invites her worldwide community to live beyond the ordinary.
When she’s not creating, writing, or filming, you’ll find Marilyn on the trails, curating soulful retreats, or cheering on her adult kids’ milestones.
Life mantra: “It’s a great day to make it a great day!”
