SLOWING DOWN IN A WORLD THAT ASKS SO MUCH OF YOU SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE… BUT IT ISN’t. I’m living proof.
MY STORY
MARISSA GREEN, FOUNDER
Hi, I’m Marissa, and I’m a recovering workaholic.
In fact, if you had told me five years ago that I would be helping other ambitious women ‘slow down’, I would have laughed in your face.
Hell, you’re probably laughing in my face a little bit too - while your inner-self is shouting - YES PLEASE!
I got here through a slow and winding road of unlearning and remembering.
Unlearning…The conditions that were holding me back.
Remembering… Who I really am.
There were 1,000s of ah-ha moments on that journey. But the number one lesson I learned, and that I’m here to teach you —
No one ever gets anywhere without stopping for gas.
Getting comfortable with slowing down changed my life. Everything about where I am today is different - and better - than where I was 5 years ago.
But it wasn’t easy. I am working with a beautiful cocktail of ADHD, ambition, perfectionism, motherhood and sooo much more that kept me on the hamster wheel and made me terrified to slow down, even for a minute. (hello, unanswered emails).
But I found a way through the chaos and I am here to share what I’ve learned (and what I’m still learning) with you - so you can change your life for the better too.
