The Permission to Pivot Podcast
You're ready to find your community, to have more meaningful conversations, and to take some steps in a brand new direction. You've reached a point in your life where your mind and heart are suddenly much more open, you're asking a lot more questions and finding that the answers are much more colorful than black or white, and you're eager to try new things and carve your own path–even if it means pivoting in an entirely new direction, making a mistake, getting bruised, or getting temporarily lost along the way.
Welcome to the Permission to Pivot Podcast, a community for wide-eyed, open-hearted, creative individuals like you.

Featured Episode
Emily Levenson and I discuss how to be more open-minded to "woo woo" practices, even when they go beyond logic, so that you can enjoy a more magical relationship with your spirituality, the world around you, and yourself.
Michelle Anthony and I talk about going from that place of quiet knowing that something needs to change–in your relationships or career or business or whatever–to that place of courageous action.

Have more meaningful conversations about the range of the creative human experience–from deep inner work to everyday interests;

Form a community of both like-minded and refreshingly unique individuals;

Kind Words from Listeners
“I love Marissa’s podcast! Her range of guests is really exciting because you get to hear different viewpoints and discover topics that you didn’t even know you were interested in (hello woo woo!). Marissa does a great job of cultivating a community feel, even just through your earbuds. Highly recommend this one!”
“Marissa really brings it in this podcast. To be honest, there are other shows where the interview might be well-intentioned, but isn’t super great at asking questions. That’s why listening to Marissa is so refreshing.
She’s great at asking pointed, deep, interesting questions that other people wouldn’t think to ask. And when you know how to get the good stuff out of people, answers and insights come to light that you can’t find anywhere else.”
“Marissa is poignant, authentic and clearly very passionate about her work. She not only has individual sessions, but she also brings on a wide range of guests. I am constantly having “aha!” moments while listening! I’m excited to be following along from the beginning!”
“The Permission to Pivot podcast is, in my opinion, one of THE most authentic and powerful podcasts on personal development available. Marissa uses her insatiable curiosity to tease out some incredible insights (not just information) from her well-respected guests.
She balances her playful personality with confidence and competence (she KNOWS her stuff) to keep you on the edge of your notebook at all times. As a podcast junkie myself, I'm super grateful that I'm in early on this one, it'll be in my feed for a LONG TIME to come!”


Your Hostess (with the Mostest)
Producer and host of the infamous 1990s talk show, "Marissa's Late Night Talk Show," I've been itching to bring audio back into my life ever since. Now that I've upgraded from my Fisher-Price boom box and have a few more decades under my belt, I hope to explore what it means to live an intentional and meaningful life and to navigate the questions that come up along the way.
