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.

Episode 56: The Pivot: From Darkness to Authentic Leadership
Kia ora, Mama.
Have you ever faced a moment so challenging that it forced you to choose—stay stuck or rise?
I see you. I know what it’s like to feel stuck in the in-between—where you know you’re meant for more, but the weight of doubt, fear, and past struggles keeps pulling you back. Maybe you’ve been questioning yourself, wondering if you have what it takes to truly step into your power.
In this episode, we’re having a real, heart-to-heart conversation about what it means to pivot—when life feels heavy, when the path is unclear, and when everything inside you is screaming for change. This is about embracing your truth, stepping out of the darkness, and reclaiming the leader within you.
This conversation is for the woman who knows she’s meant for more but feels trapped by the weight of the past. It’s time to rewrite your story, reclaim your power, and lead with confidence.
Let’s dive in, together.
Love, Riss xx
