This episode is a reckoning.

We’re breaking the silence on the invisible cost of survival, the toll it takes on a single mama’s body, spirit, and soul. This is not a productivity pep talk or a healing cliché. It’s a real conversation about what it means to live inside a loop of exhaustion… and begin to find the way out.

Marisa shares raw truths from her own journey: collapsing in the driveway, burning from the inside out, and still being told she was “so strong.”

But strength isn’t supposed to destroy us.
Burnout isn’t a badge of honor.

This is a love letter to the version of you that forgot how to rest.
This is your permission slip to stop proving and start breathing.

Inside this episode:

• A mirror held to the culture of exhaustion
• What survival mode feels like in the body
• Why your nervous system deserves reverence
• The first small step out of the loop (and it’s not what you think)

With grace, grit, and full transparency, this one’s for you, Mama.

This one could have easily been an hour, because she went there.

In this episode, Marisa takes you inside the deeper layers of what it means to be a runner as a single mama, and no, it’s not just about relationships.

Marisa unpacks:
✨ Why do we run when life feels overwhelming
✨ How running becomes our survival instinct
✨ The difference between freedom and escape
✨ The promise she made to herself that changed how she handles conflict
✨ And the practical tools to stay grounded without a weekly trip to the spa

This isn’t a lecture.
It’s a truth-telling, a map, and a call back to yourself.

Takeaway:
You don’t have to run forever.
Peace begins when you learn to stay with yourself.

Listen now, and if it hits home, play it twice. Love, M.

In this episode, Marisa takes you inside the moment that changed everything,
not just when she left, but when she chose herself for good.

This isn’t just a story about the end of a marriage.

It’s about the shattering, the unraveling, and the rebuilding that came after.

Marisa talks about:
✨ The moment she knew that she was free
✨ The fear of leaving vs. the fear of who she’d become if she stayed
✨ Why Marisa refused to carry guilt
✨ And how true happiness became her ultimate revenge

Takeaway:
You’re not here to carry the weight of someone else’s lies.
You’re here to live, fully, wildly, unapologetically.
And Mama, you deserve that peace.

Call to Action:
If you’ve ever doubted your decision to walk away, listen to this one twice.
