Dr. Marline Cepoudi Duroseau is proof that purpose can grow out of the hardest seasons. With a 22-year career in business and finance, she is a CFO, CPA, leadership executive, educator, and author who brings both strategy and compassion to every room she enters.
Based in Hollywood, Florida, Dr. Marline is the founder of MCD Business Enterprise LLC, where she helps women build confidence and resilience through her Women Matter initiatives, workshops, and an annual Vision Event. She is also a mentor and nonprofit leader who serves as CFO for Filling Empty Wombs, Inc., while staying active in her community.
What makes her impact even more powerful is that she doesn’t lead from theory—she leads from lived experience.
A Journey That Became a Message
Dr. Marline’s memoir, It’ll Happen By 30: A Relentless Journey of Faith | Delayed but Not Denied, was inspired by her personal journey through infertility and child loss. Her reason for writing was simple and bold: she refused to go through that kind of pain in silence if her story could help somebody else feel seen.
She wanted men, women, and families walking through infertility to know three things: they are not alone, they are not “crazy,” and their feelings are valid. She also wrote to increase awareness of infertility and to help others understand how common it is.
That honesty is the heartbeat of her work. She is not here to perform strength—she is here to build it in others.
What the Book Leaves Readers With
At its core, It’ll Happen By 30 is a story of resilience and faith. Dr. Marline teaches that the message is bigger than infertility alone. It’s about what people do when life doesn’t go according to plan—how they navigate detours, disappointments, and uncertainty without losing hope.
She encourages readers to keep the faith and stay open-minded. Sometimes people want a certain outcome in a specific way, but the journey may require new options, new paths, and a new kind of trust.
That’s why her story connects with so many readers. Even if someone hasn’t dealt with infertility, they know what it feels like to want something deeply, plan for it, and then face a reality that looks completely different.
The Book Summary in One Line
If you’ve ever felt like life rerouted you without warning, this book will speak to you.
Dr. Marline describes the story as a real-life journey full of ups, downs, uncertainties, and frustrations—asking the question many people are scared to say out loud: “Can I still trust the process and keep the faith?”
One of the most unique parts of her book is how it was created. In an effort to express her feelings and support other women, she turned daily fertility journal entries into a published work. That makes it raw, personal, and real—because it was written while she was living it, not after she “wrapped it up” nicely.
How Authorship Expanded Her Leadership
Becoming an author strengthened Dr. Marline’s role as a speaker, coach, and entrepreneur by giving her more credibility and amplifying her message. Writing the book also taught her to be vulnerable and authentic, which helped her connect with audiences on a deeper level.
It positioned her as an authority in her niche and opened doors for speaking opportunities—while keeping her mission front and center: inspire and empower others through her story.
Why She’s More Than One Title
Dr. Marline’s work is layered. Alongside her corporate and leadership background, she is also a fertility coach who helps families navigate the path to parenthood with empathy and guidance. She also writes children’s books that help young readers build confidence and self-acceptance.
She is a devoted wife and mother of four, passionate about helping others find their voice, advocate for themselves, and “build their own table.” That phrase matches her entire brand: empowerment that isn’t dependent on permission.
Her message is clear: there is no one else like you. It’s okay to stand out. Do what only you can do with your own unique touch.
