From Wounds to Wisdom

Some stories are written in pain, this one is written in power.


A memoir about the moment you stop surviving your life and finally start healing it in order to live it.


Marissa knows firsthand that the road to healing is rarely straight — but it is always worth it. After years of carrying grief, anxiety, and the weight of family wounds she never asked for, she finally stopped running and started writing. From Wounds to Wisdom is the book that came out of that reckoning. She wrote it for herself first, and then for every woman who has ever needed permission to stop shrinking and start healing.
