Marci Hopkins embarked on her journey to create “Wake Up with Marci” eight years ago, at a pivotal moment when she decided to stop drinking. This decision facilitated her healing from past traumas and ignited her passion for helping others. “My healing journey set me on a path of transformation and finding my happiness. With this discovery, I was guided to help others navigate life’s difficulties with stories of hope, inspiration, education, and resources,” shares Marci.
The show has evolved into a platform of stories of hope, inspiration, and empowerment. Marci had reached a point where she considered bringing on someone who could offer another perspective to the show but shared the same passion for helping others. When Hilary came on as a guest, an immediate connection was established.
Marci’s decision to add Hilary DeCesare as a co-host stemmed from their instant connection and shared dedication to assisting others. “I knew Hilary was special,” Marci reflects. “A few months later, Hilary joined ‘Wake Up’ as a co-host for the day. It was then I realized she was the perfect addition I wanted to bring to the show. Not only was she brilliant and knowledgeable, but we also radiated joy when we were together. As she left the show that day, I knew she would become the permanent co-host. Weeks later, Wake Up with Marci and Hilary was launched.” Hilary DeCesare is a renowned international business coach, bestselling author, and pioneer for women in Silicon Valley. She’s known for her expertise in neuropsychology as it applies to business and life, holding certifications from top practitioners. With a track record of raising millions in venture capital for startups, she’s also a dedicated philanthropist supporting causes like fighting human trafficking and childhood cancer. Hilary has appeared on various media platforms and is the founder of The Relaunch Co.
Hilary DeCesare’s motivation to transition into television and co-host the show alongside Marci Hopkins stemmed from her desire to create platforms for people to connect and be guided on their journeys to finding purpose and passion. “There are many platforms available now to have one’s voice be heard, but TV allows for a deeper connection and encourages actual listening with visual, auditory, and realness,” said Hilary. “After my book came out, I had the opportunity to do many TV appearances, and when I was on ‘Wake Up with Marci’ and met Marci, our energy was off the charts, and it felt like we had known each other forever.”
Their combined energy and aligned beliefs made them an ideal pair for the show. “I knew that we had something, and our common beliefs and future dreams were so aligned,” Hilary reflects. “I talk about being in flow, and with Marci, when I came on to do a test trial co-host, it was magic, and here we are, co-hosting and bringing our combined energies to the world,” she shares.
Hilary DeCesare, hailing from the competitive landscape of Silicon Valley and seasoned in the cutthroat corporate world, brings a unique blend of experience to the coaching realm. With 23 years in the field and a fusion of psychology and neuroscience, her expertise caters specifically to empowering businesswomen. Having founded multiple companies and navigated the intricacies of capital raising, she’s witnessed firsthand the disillusionment of those who chase success at the expense of happiness and fulfillment.
Marci Hopkins, on the other hand, boasts over three decades in the media industry and stands as a beacon of resilience and transformation.
