Hey Friend! I’m Marissa—and I’m so honored you’re here. If you’re anything like me, you’ve wrestled with emotions that feel overwhelming at times—fear, anger, guilt, anxiety. For years, I tried to push through, smile on the outside, and “keep it together.” But deep down, I was exhausted… longing for something more. That something more turned out to be wholeness—real emotional healing rooted in both science and faith. And that’s what I’ve poured into this course. As a two-time Emmy award-winning journalist, I used to tell other people’s stories. Now, I help people like you uncover your story—because it matters. It’s sacred. And when you start to understand it, everything begins to shift. I’ve created many guided journals over the years—not just as tools for healing, but because I believe in the power of journaling. Writing things down helps us process, reflect, and hear from God more clearly. And beyond that, journaling becomes a legacy—a tangible way to pass on your faith, your journey, and your heart to the people you love. That’s why you’ll find journaling woven throughout this course—because it’s not just about learning… it’s about remembering, processing, and growing in a way that lasts. I created EvenBetter to be a safe space—a place where you’re seen, supported, and gently challenged to grow. A place where emotional health and spiritual depth walk hand in hand. I’m also the author of Self-Care Self-Love for Overwhelmed Moms and The Guided Journal Journey to Forgiveness, and I’ve spent the last two decades walking alongside women through healing, growth, and rediscovering joy. I pray this course feels like a cozy conversation with a trusted friend—one who reminds you that you are not broken… just becoming. Let’s take the next step together. With love, Marissa 💜
