Behind The Cusp

There comes a point where the life that once fit you no longer does. And that's okay.

In this episode, I'm sharing what this season of pivoting looks like for me. From shifting the direction of my career and creative work to redefining success, letting go of old expectations, and making peace with not having every answer before taking the next step.

We talk about why pivots can feel both exciting and uncomfortable, the courage it takes to outgrow a version of yourself that still looks successful from the outside, and why sometimes the most meaningful changes happen quietly, long before anyone else can see them.

If you're standing at the edge of your own pivot, whether it's in your career, relationships, identity, or simply the way you want to live, I hope this conversation reminds you that you don't have to have the whole roadmap. Sometimes all you need is the courage to follow what no longer feels aligned, and trust that the next chapter will meet you there.

We spend so much of our lives celebrating beginnings.

New relationships. New jobs. New homes. New opportunities.

But no one really teaches us how to end something well.

In this episode, I'm sharing the story behind what I am calling my "Farewell Summer" - my final summer before selling my home and moving to Florida full time. But this conversation isn't really about moving. It's about something much bigger.

It's about learning to honor the chapters that shaped us, recognizing when we've outgrown something but waiting on timing to move, and understanding that gratitude and letting go can exist at the same time.

We'll talk about why endings deserve just as much intention as beginnings, how to know when it's time to move forward, and why the way we close one chapter often determines how we step into the next.

Maybe endings aren't something to rush through. Maybe they're something to honor & celebrate well.

🎧 About the Episode: 
There’s so much pressure to know.

To know what’s next. To know if you’re making the right decisions. To know where you’re headed, what you want, and how it’s all supposed to unfold.

But what if uncertainty isn’t a sign that something is wrong?

In this short episode, I’m talking about what it feels like to sit with uncertainty instead of rushing to solve it. Why we treat not knowing like failure, how our need for answers can create more pressure than peace, and the quiet practice of trusting life before everything makes sense.

If you’ve been feeling in-between, overwhelmed by decisions, or frustrated that clarity hasn’t arrived yet, this conversation is for you.

Maybe you don’t need to know yet.
Maybe you just need to stay open long enough to see what unfolds.

🎧 About the Episode: 

In this episode of Behind the Cusp, we’re talking about something so many of us quietly experience but maybe don’t always know how to name: feeling disconnected from ourselves.

Maybe life has felt heavier lately. Maybe you’ve been in survival mode, going through the motions, carrying a lot, or realizing you don’t quite feel like… you.

This episode is an invitation to reconnect to yourself, to get your spark back.

I’m sharing simple shifts and practices that have been helping me feel more energized, grounded, inspired, and like myself again. From movement and nourishment to sleep, boundaries, getting outside, and returning to the things that bring life back into my everyday. My goal is to inspire you to return to those things wherever you're at right now.

Sometimes your spark isn’t gone, it’s just buried underneath stress, overstimulation, responsibility, exhaustion... the list goes on.

If you’ve been feeling off lately, I hope this episode reminds you that coming back to yourself doesn’t have to happen all at once.

Sometimes it starts with one small thing.

🎧 About the Episode: 

In this episode of Behind the Cusp, I’m opening up in real time about something I’ve been living through quietly for the last several months: transition.

Not one big dramatic life change, but many layers of change happening all at once. Identity shifts, hard decisions, changing relationships, career transitions, moving through uncertainty, and navigating the emotional weight of feeling like every area of life is asking something different of me all. at. once.

I share honestly about where I’ve been mentally and emotionally, the pressure of trying to hold everything together, and what I’m learning about boundaries, letting go, making decisions, and allowing myself to be seen before I have all the answers.

I also talk about why I think women don’t talk enough about how many versions of ourselves we live through in one lifetime.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, stretched thin, or like life feels unfamiliar lately as you're in the midst of a transition, of any kind, this episode is your reminder that transition doesn’t mean you’re behind.

You’re not failing. You’re becoming. 
And if you’re in the middle of it right now, you are not alone.

🎧 About the Episode: 

I asked you one question on Instagram this week: what do you struggle with in adult friendships?  ..and the DMs didn't stop coming. 

In this listener-led episode, I'm reading your messages verbatim, getting vulnerable about where I'm at in my own friendships (messy, honest, & right in the middle of it with you), and unpacking the four truths about adult female friendships that keep coming up in my own life and I know in yours too.

This one isn't meant to fix anything. It's meant to come right alongside you in the struggle that you're in. We’re having the conversation so many women are thinking about, but rarely saying out loud: adult friendships can feel really hard.

After hearing from so many of you, one thing became clear: you’re not alone in feeling disconnected, overlooked, or like friendships just don’t feel the way they used to. Between busy schedules, different life stages, emotional burnout, and shifting priorities, maintaining meaningful connection can feel more complicated than ever.

We talk about why friendships often change as we grow, what it means to outgrow certain relationships, and the quiet loneliness that can exist even when you do have people around you. From one-sided effort to surface-level connection, to the desire for deeper, more authentic relationships - this episode is about naming what so many of us are experiencing.

If this episode finds you in a soft spot, you're not alone. Send me a DM @behindthecusp or @stylecusp and tell me which part hit the hardest. Your responses are already shaping Part 2.

🎧 About the Episode: 

In this deeply transformative episode of Behind the Cusp, I’m joined by spiritual mentor, author, and founder of the Sacred Roots Mystery School, Ele De Posson - someone who has played an integral role in my own healing and awakening journey over the past few years. 

Together, we explore the true essence of feminine energy: what it is, how it lives within us, and what it looks like to embody it in a world that constantly pulls us into doing, striving, and over-functioning. This conversation is both grounding and expansive, offering a real-life, approachable introduction to the feminine for anyone who feels disconnected, burnt out, or ready to return to themselves.

We talk about the difference between feminine and masculine energy, how to recognize imbalance, and what it means to move from the wounded feminine into the sacred feminine. Ele shares powerful insights on intuition, surrender, receiving, and living in alignment, as well as how these energies shape our relationships, our work, and the way we move through life.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, soften, and reconnect with your body, your truth, and your inner knowing.

Listen slowly. 

Let it land. 

And allow yourself to remember who you truly are.

🎧 About the Episode:

On a snowy night in February 2010, I started a blog in my college apartment with no plan, no audience, and no idea it would one day become my career.

Sixteen years later, that small decision has shaped every aspect of my life.

In this episode, I’m sharing the full journey that's never been told: from working commission retail at Nordstrom and taking two-hour train rides into NYC for jobs i never got, to navigating a debilitating back injury at 23, living with my grandparents while building my business, launching Style Cusp full time, scaling multiple income streams, and evolving through the many seasons of entrepreneurship..

This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s the long game. A story about the leaps, the pivots, the quiet discipline behind the scenes.

If you’ve ever wondered how someone “builds a life like that,” this episode is your reminder that most success isn’t overnight. It’s a layered process over years of risk, resilience, and hard work.

Style Cusp isn’t just a brand. It’s the timeline of my becoming.

And if you’re in the middle of building something of your own, I hope this gives you permission to be willing to trust the seed you’ve planted even if you can’t see the full picture yet.

🎧 About the Episode:

In this very special episode of Behind the Cusp, I’m joined by my first-ever guest and friend, Morgan Willett: lifestyle and travel creator, Big Brother alum, and the soul behind the inspiring Miles with Morgan group trips.

This conversation has been months in the making, and it’s one I knew I wanted to have from the very beginning of this podcast. Morgan and I connected years ago over shared life chapters, navigating the undoing of relationships in our late twenties, rediscovering ourselves as single women entering our thirties, and breaking free from societal timelines to build lives full of passion, purpose, and exploration.

We dive into what it looks like to fully embrace the season you’re in, from healing and independence to dating, travel, and community. Morgan shares how she’s built deep connection with women around the world, what she’s learned through living boldly, and how she’s made a home in both California and Portugal. Her authenticity, vulnerability, and joy are contagious- and I know this conversation will leave you feeling seen, inspired, and empowered to live life on your own terms.

Let’s welcome Morgan to the show!

🎧 About the Episode:

If January asked you to pause, February is asking you to return. Not with urgency, but with clarity, alignment, and self-trust.

In this short and soulful episode, Marissa shares why February holds the energy and foundation of what's ahead. It’s not about sprinting forward, it’s about re-entering your life with wisdom, intention, and love. You’ll explore mindset shifts, reflective questions, and gentle invitations to reconnect with your rhythm after a slower start.

Whether January felt off-track, chaotic, or quiet, this is your reminder:
 You’re not starting over, you’re re-emerging wiser.
