Do You dread
opening your laptop?
You know that feeling?
The one where you sit down at your laptop and your whole body says nope?
Yeah. That one.
Your brain is already fried—and you haven’t even opened your inbox.
Your tools are glitching like they’re gaslighting you.
Your to-do list looks like it’s been breeding overnight.
You’re not even doing what you started this business to do. You’re just… surviving the backend chaos.
And the worst part?
You keep thinking you should be able to fix this. But you’re too deep in the weeds to even see what’s broken.
Hi. I’m Marissa.
I don’t have a 12-step productivity plan.
I help creative entrepreneurs who are burnt out, maxed out, and quietly screaming inside figure out why their business feels so hostile to their brain—and build systems that don’t make you want to light your laptop on fire.
it’s not a “you” problem. it’s a system mismatch.
You didn’t build this thing to become your own worst boss.
You built it for freedom. For creativity. For a life with naps.
Instead, you got:
Tech tools fighting like siblings in the backseat
Processes that steal your time and give nothing back
A nervous system that spikes every time you open your inbox
The creeping dread that you’re failing at something you were supposed to love
This isn’t about needing to try harder.
It’s about unlearning systems that punish your capacity—and building ones that finally fit your brain.
I don’t fix everything.
But I fix the parts quietly breaking you.
I’m not here to sell you a 47-tab dashboard you’ll never look at.
I’m not here to optimize your workflows into a spreadsheet you resent.
What I am here to do?
Sit with you in the mess.
Name what’s actually going on underneath the chaos.
And co-create systems that feel like exhaling—not spiraling.
So you can stop surviving your business—and start feeling held by it.
what we actually do together:
✓ Name the real sources of your overwhelm (they’re rarely where you think)
✓ Design systems that honor your energy, your capacity, your weirdness
✓ Build action plans that work even when you don’t feel like a person
✓ Decide what’s yours to carry, what can be delegated—and what needs to burn
what I don’t do:
✗ Promise you’ll be “in love with your business” next week
✗ Sell you systems that only work for neurotypical hustle bros
✗ Pretend I know better than you about your own brain
✗ Create more complexity disguised as structure

about me
(the human behind the systems)
I’m Marissa.
I build systems for people who don’t want to hate their business.
I don’t do corporate. I don’t do hustle. I don’t believe your value is defined by your output.
What I do?
Nervous-system-safe systems that don’t betray your capacity.
Backends that feel like a soft place to land.
My weird skill?
I see the patterns beneath your overwhelm—and translate them into something you can actually use.
I make room for nuance. For needs. For softness. For your brain’s weird shape.
When I’m not untangling operational spaghetti, you’ll find me podcasting or watching tv—probably thinking about how to build a better to-do list that lets you nap.
