Grace Through the Fire
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. Through real talk, transformative strategies, and interviews with powerful women blazing their own trails, you’ll find the fire to fuel your next level.
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.

Episode 71: The Month That Changed Everything: Alignment and becoming the woman your meant to be
Kia ora beautiful Mama,
Welcome back to Grace Through the Fire. This past month has been huge. I became the MWDI Māori Women’s Business Award Winner for Tāmaki Makaurau, and it shifted something deep in my spirit.
It reminded me that I was never meant to shrink, and since then everything has aligned with new clients, partnerships, and doors opening in ways only God can orchestrate.
This season has also confirmed my purpose: supporting wāhine in their 40s and 50s who are ready to lead differently, with clarity, confidence, and honour for who they’re becoming. From that vision, She Leads Different was born, a powerful new series launching soon filled with raw, honest conversations with high-level Māori and Pasifika women in business and leadership.
I am also opening my 2026 Private Leadership Partnerships for women and organisations ready for deep alignment and support. These are not programs. They are intimate, strategic leadership containers designed for real transformation.
Thank you for walking this journey with me. You can honour who you have been and still rise into who you are becoming. Life becomes beautiful when you stop running from the woman God designed you to be.
Ngā mihi nui,
Riss
