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 66: If You’ve Been Sitting on That Idea… This Is Your Time to Move
Kia ora Beautiful Mama!
This episode is close to my heart because it’s about taking action — but not at the cost of your wellbeing.
This season is about activation, making bold moves, and finally bringing those ideas you’ve been sitting on to life. But here’s the thing: it’s not about pushing through on empty. It’s about making decisions in a way that honours your own energy cycles and natural rhythm, so you create momentum without burning yourself out.
If you’ve been waiting for the “perfect time” or “perfect plan,” this is your sign that the time is now to press play on this episode
I also give away some key tips that will support you to make those moves in anyway that feels good. Same way I’ve done it and shared with supporting my clients to do it too.
Remember your ideas don’t need you to be perfect, they need you to be powerful… and that power is even stronger when it’s paced in a way you can sustain.
I can’t wait to see what you bring to life.
Ngā mihi,
Riss
