Main Content

Hi. I’m Marie, an Aussie writer, speaker, and podcaster. I am a mental wellbeing advocate and am passionate about helping people to find resilience and happiness in the midst of change.

You see, a couple of years ago, I came off my motorbike in Vietnam and in a split second, everything changed. You can read my story, or take a look through this site which chronicles my research and thoughts as I explore what really makes us happy and resilient. Read More…

Unapologetically Marie

Hi, I’m Marie. Sydney-based writer, speaker, podcaster—and occasional human crash-test dummy (thanks, Vietnam). This site began as a survival strategy after a motorbike accident left me physically broken and emotionally cracked open. What followed was a deep dive into happiness, resilience and the messy magic of being human.

Whatever brought you here, know this: I don’t do beige. I write, speak and live unapologetically—with bite, heart and a healthy dose of mischief.

COMING SOON! Recently, I’ve been dabbling in contemporary women’s fiction, writing a book which is equal parts humour, heat and emotional truth. My debut novel, The Accidental Domme, is currently courting publishers. She’s bold, cheeky, and not afraid to whip the patriarchy (metaphorically… mostly).
