About this listen

When life falls apart, could sharing your story online help you heal — and help others do the same?

In this powerful episode of Startup or Shutup, host Nurse Colin sits down with Marissa Wilkenson (@Rizz326), a small-town girl from Quincy, Michigan, who transformed her heartbreak into hope by sharing her raw, honest journey on TikTok. Her viral videos about self-love, mental health, and rebuilding your life have inspired thousands to start picking up their own pieces.

Marissa opens up about hitting rock bottom, finding courage to be vulnerable online, and how her TikTok community became a lifeline. She shares what it really takes to fall in love with yourself again and how she’s turning her healing journey into a children’s book.

If you’ve ever felt lost, broken, or like your story doesn’t matter — this conversation will show you that healing is possible, and your voice deserves to be heard.
