The Transition Table

A Matriarch’s Guide to Reclaiming Your Portion

“Long as you go through and you don’t stay there.”

The Invitation

The Table Is Set

This is not a place of arrival.

It is a place of decision.

You decide to sit down.

To stop gathering scraps and start claiming your portion.

The Matriarch has set a place for you.

Twelve Pillars

Inside The Transition Table

Each pillar closes with The Matriarch’s Briefing — practical wisdom you can act on before the chapter ends.

  • I

    The Silence

    Naming the end of the marriage without letting the end define you.

  • II

    The Inheritance

    Losing the grandmother's home, but keeping the faith that built it.

  • III

    Feelings Are Liars

    Untangling what you feel from what is true. Your feelings will lie. God's Word stands.

  • IV

    The Heart of the Matriarch

    Raising six kids alone, adopting your sister's children, and holding the family together by faith.

  • V

    The Weight of the Purse

    Financial literacy as a spiritual discipline — budgets, credit, and rebuilding from 489.

  • VI

    Standing in the Fire

    Showing up daily through the stroke, the abuse, and the vow — and not being consumed.

  • VII

    The Bloodline

    The prophecy, the sister gone too soon, and the torch passed to you.

  • VIII

    The Church and the Wound

    Healing from the bypassing and the cliques, while still choosing to be part of the body.

  • IX

    The Silence That Healed

    Being alone for the first time and learning that isolation is not punishment — it's preparation.

  • X

    The Day I Walk Into My House

    The dream of falling to your knees in your own home. Every step is faith.

  • XI

    The Ruth Principle

    Being faithful in the field while God prepares your portion unseen.

  • XII

    The Matriarch's Table

    The invitation to stop gathering scraps and pull up a chair. You are not late. You are not forgotten.

Portrait of author Marilyn Randolph

The Author

Meet Marilyn Randolph

Marilyn Randolph writes from the other side of the transition. She has known the silence of a house that emptied overnight, the arithmetic of rebuilding from nothing, and the slow, holy work of learning her own name again.

Faith carried her; discipline kept her. Over two decades she has mentored women through divorce, loss and financial reinvention — pairing scripture with spreadsheets, and prayer with a plan that can be executed on a Tuesday.

As the founder of Marilyn Rises, she leads a growing community of women and men committed to restoration over survival and legacy over luck. The Transition Table is the guide she wishes someone had handed her on the hardest night of her life.

Questions Before You Sit

Who should read this book?

Women and men standing in the middle of a transition — divorce, loss, financial rebuilding, a career ending, an identity that no longer fits. If you are between who you were and who you are becoming, this table was set for you.

When do I receive my digital copy?

This is a pre-order. Your digital manuscript will be delivered once the book is completed — shortly before the official launch event on September 9, 2026.

Can I attend without purchasing the digital edition?

Yes. General Admission and the VIP Experience both include a signed physical copy and dinner at the launch. The digital pre-order is a separate way to reserve your copy ahead of release.

Is seating limited?

Strictly. The launch dinner is capped at 30 guests so every person at the table can be seen and heard. Once the seats are claimed, registration closes.

Will books be signed?

Every physical copy included with General Admission and VIP is personally signed by Marilyn Randolph at the event.

The Table Is Set.Pull Up a Chair.

Reserve your place today by pre-ordering the book or securing your seat at the official launch event on September 9, 2026. Your digital manuscript will be delivered shortly before the launch as Marilyn completes this transformational work.
