Marcella Sherwin is a relationship advocate, entrepreneur and the founder of the Live Tough movement. She helps individuals and couples build stronger relationships through education, greater transparency in marriage and practical strategies that foster trust, resilience and lasting commitment.
legislative work that i'm doing is strictly focusing on intentional commitment intentional like i want to be with you so i want to renew my contract with you just like a business not a trap because i think that's causing a lot of phobia with the younger couples of today they see so much failure and problems in marriages they're like why would i want to get myself in that situation do you think there is the idea of like a perfect marriage Perfect marriage is what you make it, is how you build it.

For those who live to leave a legacy. That's extraordinary. The impossible. Oh, that is sensational. Chicago was the lead. Usain Bolt is the fastest man on the planet. You can live your dream.
Hi, this is the Living Your Legacy podcast with Inside Success TV, and I'm here with Marcella Sherwin. Hi. Hi, Mayu. Thank you for having me. Of course. So, Marcela, tell us, you know, just a little bit about you first.
I am a legacy maker. I am the president and CEO of the Live Tough Movement. And what I'm doing is basically revamping the entire family structure as we know it today to bring in solutions to modern day marriages that are more sustainable and practical for couples to practice moving forward. So that's what I'm dedicating myself to on one part. And the second part that I'm dedicating myself to is to bring forth legislative changes on how the marriage laws read today, not asking for changes in marriage laws, but asking that the marriage laws that are existing are actually brought up to modern day marriage needs so that we can basically mesh the two backward truth and the marriage laws and make impact of change for sustainable marriages moving forward.
Okay, a lot to unpack there.
I guess let's start with How did you come to do this, right? I know your story, obviously, but let's share part of your story, whatever you're comfortable with sharing and going through all that, right?
Yeah. So what inspired the Live Tough movement was a moment between going through a divorce and surviving a pandemic. Okay. And understanding that reflective moment of what went wrong, what happened in my marriage, and self-reflecting to find the answers. And what I came up with was that I didn't ask the right questions. I didn't marry the right person because of that. Yeah. And I didn't want my kids to ever go through that. And I see divorce rates at such a high level. I thought, well, maybe a lot of people are doing the same thing, just getting married because of love. And I learned that love wasn't enough. You need strategy and you need to ask the right questions to make sure that you're with the right person.
And then once you identify that you're with the right person, then your love will grow.
Okay, that's great advice. As a, you know, young woman myself, especially, you know, here in Miami, it's hard to date, right? Yes. A lot of people my age aren't getting married. So I guess that's what your whole movement is about. Yeah. And how old are your kids?
Yeah. So my daughter, I have young kids. My daughter is 30 years old. She is a licensed pharmacist today.
