The MYTH of the side character

You were never meant to be the background music to someone else’s breakthrough.”

In this soul-shaking episode, Marisa unpacks the quiet lie too many single mothers have been conditioned to believe: that they are supporting roles in their own lives. 

This isn’t just a message—it’s a wake-up call.

This one is for the mama who forgot she was the main character.

 The woman holding families together, building dreams in the dark, showing up over and over again—and yet still doubting if she matters.

Marisa shares a raw, unfiltered look at what it means to reclaim your place at the center of your own story. She weaves in personal truth, emotional exhale moments, and a direct challenge to the cultural narrative that tells women to shrink.

You’ll walk away from this episode:

• Recognizing how emotional exhaustion keeps you in the shadows
• Understanding the cost of downplaying your brilliance
• Feeling seen, called, and invited into your power
• Remembering that you don’t need permission to rise
• Holding the truth that reclaiming your spotlight isn’t selfish—it’s sacred
