ABOUT MArissa
I teach people how to quiet the noise, choose courage over comfort and live with intention.
Ever feel like you're racing through life on autopilot?You're sprinting through the airport—dodging crowds, barely making your gate, mentally juggling work deadlines, family obligations, and a to-do list that never ends. You collapse into your seat, completely drained, wondering: Is this really what success looks like? Is everyone else living like this?
If that sounds familiar, Marissa Jennings created her work for you.
As an author, speaker, and corporate executive with nearly two decades of leadership experience, Marissa has spent years navigating the relentless pace of airports, boardrooms, and the never-ending hustle of modern life. She knows what it's like to look successful on the outside while feeling disconnected and overwhelmed on the inside—and she's made it her mission to help others find a better way.
Driven by a question she couldn’t ignore - what does it really take to build a life of meaning and fulfillment?
Marissa created Project Legacy, a global storytelling journey that took her from rural villages in Africa to executive suites in London. Through powerful conversations with remarkable people across cultures and backgrounds, she uncovered a universal truth: we all crave the same thing—to live fully, to feel connected to our purpose, and to make a meaningful impact.
Those insights shaped Marissa's five-step framework, which she now shares with audiences across corporate, community, faith-based, and educational settings.
Through authentic storytelling, practical strategies, and relatable honesty, she helps people move beyond the hustle and realign their lives with their deepest values—without sacrificing their ambitions or success.
As a working mother, leader, and lifelong learner, Marissa doesn't just teach these principles—she lives them daily.
Because the life you're craving? It's possible.
And it starts with slowing down long enough to choose it.
MY MOTTO IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE
“Slow down enough to choose the life you actually want.”
