✨ Summer Coaching Promo: One space only
I’m taking August off to finish my book The Reluctant Capitalist (watch this space!).
But before I step away, I have capacity for one 1:1 coaching spot left next week for those ready to move forward in September.
If you book a 60-minute call with me before 23rd July and join either Leverage (6 month) or Elevate (12 month) programmes, you’ll receive 15% off the full programme price—that’s up to £585 saved!
My work helps solopreneurs to feel safe with money and success, balancing purpose with profit. I will show you how to build your business and scale your expertise without sacrificing your well-being or selling out your values.

About four years ago, the name The Reluctant Capitalist came to me — almost like a download from the universe.
At the time, I wasn’t exactly sure why it resonated so deeply. I just knew it did.
And the longer I sit with it, the more I realise: it wasn’t just for me.
It’s for all of us who are trying to do business differently.
I call myself The Reluctant Capitalist because I exist — like many of you — inside a deep tension.
I’m an entrepreneur.
I’m a coach.
I believe in making good money, which means being well-resourced, thriving, not just surviving and redistributing wealth.
And I also see, with eyes wide open, that the system we’re operating inside — capitalism — was not designed for good money or thriving.
It was designed for extraction, exploitation, domination.
It rewards disconnection, urgency, overwork, greed.
The Reluctant Capitalist is a name and a philosophy that holds that contradiction.
It acknowledges the system without surrendering to, or putting up with it.
It refuses to pretend that "business as usual" is neutral, or natural, or inevitable.
It names what we’re really living inside — so that we can consciously choose to do it differently.
When I say reluctant, I don’t mean passive.
💥 I mean awake.
💥 I mean unwilling to collude.
💥 I mean committed to building something else — inside the system we didn’t choose, but are choosing to navigate with as much integrity, care, and liberation as possible.
That’s what my upcoming book is about. It’s what my business is built on.
It’s for the solopreneurs, the change-makers, the rebels who know that making money and making change are not opposites.
It’s for everyone trying to hold their values in a world that tells them they must trade those values for survival.
I’m not here to burn myself out in the name of justice.
I’m not here to stay broke as proof that I care.
And I’m not here to recreate the same old systems in prettier packaging.
Or to pay lip service to some ideas that sound cute but have no substance.
I’m here to build something different — and to invite you to build it with me.
Because reluctant or not, we’re already here.
So let's do it differently.
Thanks for reading
Marisa
