💖🟣🦁 Welcome to the ROAR! For MOAR! Podcast, where we show you how you can play to win without burning out. So, if you have this sense that there must be more to work and life than what you're currently experiencing, you've come to exactly the right place. You're caught in what I call this more paradox, constantly striving for more and never feeling enough. So, you're successful on paper, but you feel empty inside. You know something needs to shift, but you're not sure where to start. Well, start with you.

🎙️ Once again, I'm flipping the script! Instead of me interviewing a guest, the beautiful Andrea Fraser is taking you on a journey with me as we explore the story behind my book MOAR!

In this candid and inspiring conversation, Andrea turns the tables on Marilise asking the questions her audience has been wanting answered. From the raw emotion of a book launch to the realities of burnout, this episode is full of honest reflections, practical wisdom, and Marilise's signature inside-out philosophy.

In this podcast we also explore:

🟣 Behind the Scenes of the MOAR! Book Launch Marilise shares the real story behind launching MOAR! The hiccups, the last-minute chaos, and why this launch felt worlds apart from her first book ROAR! in 2019.

🟢 Writing with AI: Authenticity, Iteration & Claude Could she stay authentic while co-writing with AI? Marilise opens up about learning to use Claude for the first time, how she trained it on her voice, and why the process didn't necessarily speed things up but absolutely deepened the quality of her thinking.

🟡 The ROAR Blueprint & the MOAR Hero's Journey Marilise unpacks how her ROAR methodology (Recognise, Observe, Assert, Redirect) sits at the very heart of MOAR! and how the two books work together as a complete transformation system. She walks through the MOAR acronym: Map your adventure, Open your life force, Act with heart, Rise through the fire.

🔵 What Burnout Really Feels Like and Who's Most at Risk Using the WHO's official definition as a starting point, Marilise describes burnout in human terms, the darkness, the emptiness, the exhaustion. She explains why high performers and high achievers are most vulnerable, and shares her Daily MEDS framework (Meditation, Exercise, Diet, Sleep) as a practical recovery tool.

🟠 Career Pivots, Passion & the "Passion Doesn't Pay the Bills" Myth From chartered accountant to conscious leadership coach, Marilise tells her career story with honesty and heart. She challenges the idea that passion can't be profitable and offers a simple, grounded invitation: start small, start now, and keep showing up for your dream.

🎙️ In this very special episode, I'm flipping the script! Instead of me interviewing a guest, the beautiful Andrea Fraser is taking you on a journey with me as we explore the story behind my upcoming book MOAR!.

This is a raw, honest conversation about my personal transformation from doing more to being more, and the pivotal moments that shaped this message. In this conversation, I share my journey from 20 years in corporate and severe burnout to creating a dream life in South Africa - and then discovering I was still playing by the old playbook. We dive deep into why I was exhausted in my dream home in December 2023, what's fundamentally broken about traditional wellbeing programs, and the inside-out transformation that creates sustainable change.

In this podcast we also explore:

🟣 The birth of MOAR! and the decision to return to South Africa after 18 years in the UK - making decisions from the heart, not just the head.

🟢 Why traditional wellbeing programs fail - and why giving burned-out people "more stuff" to do completely misses the point.

🟡 Energy as your greatest currency - understanding what gives you energy versus what decays it, and how this transforms the way you show up.

🔵 The tension between "being more" (heart space) and "doing more" (head space) - and how to achieve coherence between the two.

🟠 The brutal honesty required to recognize burnout patterns - even when you've achieved external success.

🔴 Three foundational steps to start your transformation today: Get Honest, Get Clear, and Ask for Help.

I also share insights from the Four-Step ROAR! Process, starting with Recognition - the first critical step of becoming aware and noticing where you truly are.
