Ready to step into your power and lead with unstoppable presence?
This is your call to rise.
On Grace Through the Fire, Marissa Lewis — confidence coach, business mentor, speaker, and author — challenges women to break free from limitations and lead with unstoppable presence.
This is where future leaders, influencers, and creators come to own their voice, claim their space, and build a brand and life that demand respect.

It’s time to stop playing small. It’s time to thrive.
About the host:
Kia ora, I’m Marissa Lewis.
I’m a proud Māori woman, Māmā, and the CEO of Marissa Lewis International. My whakapapa grounds me, my whānau keep me steady, and my mahi is about weaving wisdom, strategy, and presence so women can rise without leaving themselves behind.
With more than 20 years in sales, marketing, and communications, and over a decade as a coach, speaker, and retreat facilitator.
I’ve guided wāhine and women globally to step into their voice, their mana, and their leadership.
I’ve trained corporate teams, mentored entrepreneurs, and held sacred space for women to reconnect with the power they’ve always carried.
Because here’s the truth: no matter where you are from, you hold a world of wisdom from your ancestors. When you remember that — when you align your business, your confidence, and your leadership with that inheritance, you stop minimising yourself and start creating the legacy you were made for.
I work with ambitious women in their 40s and 50s who have poured decades into careers, families, and communities, and are now ready to claim their voice, their authority, and their next chapter. Through my Ultimate Confidence Academy™, Connect Retreat™, and one-on-one mentoring, I help women align their vision with their values and lead with both heart and authority.
For me, this isn’t just business. It’s a mission and a legacy: to stand alongside women who are ready to rise into their brilliance, design lives and businesses that feel wildly fulfilling, and create ripples of impact for generations to come.
If you’re ready to move from overlooked to unforgettable, from baseline to brilliant, I’m here to walk that journey with you.

Kia ora, beautiful souls! Welcome to the Grace Through the Fire podcast!
Hey there, I'm Marissa Lewis, and today we're diving into something I'm hearing from so many of you in business right now:
"I can't sell."
"I hate being all salesy."
"Sales is icky."
Sound familiar? As a confidence coach and business mentor with over a decade of experience, I've heard these struggles time and time again.
And let me tell you, this mindset is exactly why so many aren't hitting the revenue they need to create sustainability in their business.
But here's the truth, beauty: you absolutely can sell, and it doesn't have to feel uncomfortable.
In today's episode, I'm going to show you how to neutralize the selling process, remove that desperation, and approach sales with the confidence and ease that I've developed over my years in marketing, communications, and sales.
We'll dive into:
- Shifting your mindset to feel confidence in sale in a natural way that coverts
- Selling without feeling pushy or "salesy"
- Practical strategies for boosting your revenue
It's time to change the narrative around sales and start seeing the results you've been working towards. Remember, selling is not just about strategy; it's about aligning your thoughts, emotions, and actions with your desired outcome. Let's unlock that power within you and bring your business dreams to life!
Are you ready to transform your approach to sales?
Let's get into it babe !
