Full circle moment: Marilise's ROAR for MOAR hero's Journey
ππ£π¦ Welcome to the ROAR! For MOAR! Podcast, where you build momentum and master how to ROAR with your authentic voice. This is your guide to transforming work from something you survive into something that makes you come alive.
ποΈ 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:
π£ 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.
π’ Why traditional wellbeing programs fail - and why giving burned-out people "more stuff" to do completely misses the point.
π‘ Energy as your greatest currency - understanding what gives you energy versus what decays it, and how this transforms the way you show up.
π΅ The tension between "being more" (heart space) and "doing more" (head space) - and how to achieve coherence between the two.
π The brutal honesty required to recognize burnout patterns - even when you've achieved external success.
π΄ 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.

πΈ About MOAR! β MOAR! is Marilise's second book, following ROAR! (published December 2019). Written as a guide and playbook for your personal transformation journey, MOAR! offers a wealth of questions to help you ask better ones, practical steps for sustainable change, and the roadmap for inside-out transformation.
The book releases on February 26, 2026 (26/02/2026) in paperback and e-copy formats, with an accompanying online course featuring additional resources. What to expect from MOAR: The quality of our lives really does depend on the quality of the questions we ask ourselves. This book invites you on a journey - one that may take a year, two, five, or even ten years depending on your worthy goal. This is not a magic wand solution, but rather your permission slip to start making decisions from your heart and creating the life you would love to live.
