BE REAL, LAUGH, LEARN — IN THAT ORDER

Name: Live From the Laundry Room
Address: US

These days, the pressure to “have it all” is everywhere. The world wants you to think the perfect work-life balance exists — polished up and picture-perfect. I’m over the curated feeds and the facade of perfection. Where’s the real?

This website is a space to share the real stories behind my life, my business, and the transformations I’ve helped others achieve. I’m here to give you the advice, the laughs, the doubts, and the insights that I once looked for but couldn’t find.

So buckle up. We’re going to get real, laugh (a whole lot), and yes, learn — in that order. Because if you’re not getting real, you’re not going to grow. And if my real doesn’t make you laugh… well, then you might need to check your sense of humor.

I met Marissa in 2012 and was instantly impressed with her experience, character and extensive business acumen. As a former National Sales Trainer with peak performance coach, Tony Robbins, I was used to dealing with exceptional business people; even so, Marissa stood out as a gifted influencer and entrepreneur.

Anyone who has the good fortune to collaborate with Marissa with leave a richer person for it. I can’t say enough good things about this woman, she is definitely “one to watch”.

Happy #18 Birthday Liv! Time flies when you are having fun & these past 18 years flew by. You are the kindest, most determined, hardworking kid I know. I’m proud to be your mom & I know your incredible life is just starting to unfold. Continue to be your authentic self, that’s where your magic is. We all 🩷 you BIG!

Happy 50th birthday to uncle BS. Today BS is 50 & tomorrow Liv is officially an adult. Once again, I gave BS his favorite gift of becoming an uncle and these girls haven’t stopped giving him shit since day 1.🎉🎂

Stretch goals—ever set one?
In my coaching business, I’ve seen it again and again: the real transformation happens outside your comfort zone.

We start with your main goal. Something that feels just right.
But after a few months? I challenge you to stretch it.

Suddenly, that “unattainable” stretch goal becomes your new normal. You’re earning more, achieving more, giving more—and you start to crave the next level.

This is how momentum is built.
This is how we stretch into the version of ourselves we were always meant to become.

💥 Are you ready to stretch?
🎯 Do you need help setting a stretch goal that feels aligned but still a little scary?

Drop a 🔥 if you’re ready to go bigger. I’m here for it.#authentic #marissamcdonough #businesscoach #connector #accountability #sales #goals

✨ You get back what you put out.
If people keep ghosting you...
If sales feel hard...
If no one seems to be saying yes...

Stop pointing outward—and start looking inward.
You might be too scattered.
Too inconsistent.
Too unfocused.

The truth?
We attract what we radiate.
Show up for others the way you wish they’d show up for you.
Put clarity, consistency, and intention into the universe—and watch what comes back.

It’s not about what you want—
It’s about what you deserve…
Because you’re doing the work, leading with service, and staying in integrity.#authentic #marissamcdonough #businesscoach #connector #accountability #sales #flexibility #directsales #coach #theauthenticconnector #integrity

Happy Friday to everyone except this asshole who ate the Amazon delivery guys sandwhich all before 10am.☀️🤪😬🙄 #goldenretrieversarethebest #goldenretrievers_ofinstagram

You’re looking at sales all wrong.
It’s not about you—your pitch, your personality, your pressure.
It’s about them. Your customer. Their needs. Their life.

Ask yourself:
👉 What problem can I help them solve?
👉 What outcome are they hoping for?
👉 What value am I truly offering?

When you lead with service, sales follow naturally.
Help enough people get what they want—and you’ll earn what you deserve.

What does it mean to you to show up authentically?

For me, it’s the only way I know how to operate.

If I’m not your cup of tea? That’s totally fine. There are plenty of other flavors in the world—and that’s the beauty of it. I’m not here to please everyone. I’m here to be me—and in doing so, I attract the people who are meant to be in my world.

Showing up as your true self isn’t just brave—it’s necessary. You can’t tap into your full potential if you’re hiding behind a version of yourself you think people want.

So let’s talk about it:
👉 Do you show up authentically?
👉 Do you need permission to be your true self?
👉 What’s holding you back?

Because around here—we don’t shrink. We stand up and we stand out.#authentic #marissamcdonough #businesscoach #connector #accountability #sales #flexibility #directsales #coach #theauthenticconnector

Nashville! Tell me your favorite restaurants and what we can’t miss.👇🏻

My mom always told me: “Don’t take the easy way. Do it your way.”

And she was right.

Sure, it might’ve looked easier to take a traditional job—steady paycheck, predictable hours, fewer unknowns.

It might’ve been easier to not build businesses in the nooks and crannies of a messy life filled with toddlers, snack breaks, meltdowns, and midnight emails.

But easier wasn’t the point.

I chose my hard—and 18 years later, I’m so glad I did.

I’m glad I didn’t get distracted by what looked easier or more conventional.

I’m glad I built something that let me never miss a minute and lead by example.

This week, don’t get distracted by what feels easier.

Instead, focus on what will be worth it—for you, your family, your future.

Choose your hard. Do it your way. You won’t regret it.

As graduation season rolls in, here’s your friendly reminder...

When a kid tells you what’s next for them, pause before you react.

A kid not going to college? Good for them.
Headed to the trades? Amazing.
Taking time to travel? Gosh, I wish I would’ve done that.
Staying close to home because it feels right? Perfect.
Taking a big leap and headed far away to the college of their dreams? Inspiring!

Whatever their next step is—it’s theirs. Not ours to judge, fix, or question.

Let’s be real… most of us adults are still figuring out what we want to be when we grow up.

So let’s lead with encouragement, not expectation.

Put Tay on a plane today and closed a really special chapter.
These last two years have been such a gift—getting to know this incredibly talented, kind, and wise-beyond-his-years kid has been pure joy.

Shoutout to CT for the intro… and shoutout to Tay for forgiving me after I totally profiled him at our first meeting (we’ve laughed about that a lot).

He’s got a quiet strength, serious depth, and is an unbelievably talented artist.
Go be great, Tay—we’re all cheering you on.

And to his amazing mama, Amy… thank you for sharing your boy with us. You raised one hell of a great kid.

One of the best pieces of parenting advice I ever got when my girls were heading into junior high:
“Make sure they’re in a club. Any club.”
And even more important—get them on a team.
Sports team, dance team, whatever fits.

Why?
✔️ It teaches them to be a team player
✔️ It builds real-world relationships
✔️ It connects them with mentors and trusted adults
✔️ And when they walk into high school, they already have a network of peers and friends from summer training—
which makes that transition so much easier. 🙌

It’s not just about keeping them busy. It’s about giving them roots, structure, and a tribe to belong to during the most critical years.
I’m so thankful another parent shared this with me—and now I’m passing it on to you.

If you’re raising tweens—this advice might be the game-changer.

Just get to work.
Stop waiting to look perfect, be fully prepared, or know it all.
Too many people stay busy getting ready to get ready.
You don’t need to be perfect — you just need to show up and try.

It takes 3 things to be successful in life and business.
Yep, it’s really that simple. But we love to overcomplicate it, don’t we?

👉 Be consistent.
👉 Step outside your comfort zone.
👉 Be authentic.

That’s it. That’s the formula.

So why do we make it so hard?

Because it’s human nature to crave ease.
We want the shortcut. The quick win. The fast track to “success” without the long road of actual effort.

And let’s be honest—
It’s a hell of a lot easier to imitate someone else’s success than to show up as yourself every damn day.

Here’s the truth:
You’re not always going to feel like doing it.
Too bad.
Get up anyway.
Do the work.
Keep your head down.
And in 20 years?
You’ll look up and be blown away by everything you’ve built.

✨ Simple. Not easy. Worth it.

Can we talk about something I keep seeing my clients get wrong when they outsource social media?
They hire super talented, younger creators — and yes, they’re awesome at trends, they’re fast, and they know what’s hot.
But here’s the thing:
They’re creating content for their generation — not for your paying clients.
Your ideal customer?
She’s not 23 and scrolling Reels for fun.
She’s 43, running a household, managing a business, and she’s got the money to spend.
Don’t lose sight of that.
The buyer and the audience are NOT always the same thing.
Want your marketing to work? Make sure your content speaks to the woman who’s pulling out the credit card.
Because let’s be real — 20-somethings might double-tap…
But 40-somethings? They buy. Give me a 🙌🏼 if you agree👇🏻#marissamcdonough #authentic #businesscoach #connector #accountability #sales #coach #directsales #socialmedia

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how far the pendulum has swung in parenting and education. Don’t get me wrong—I believe in positive reinforcement, emotional intelligence, and giving kids tools to thrive. But somewhere along the way, have we dropped the ball on accountability?

What happened to detention?
In-school suspension?
Cleaning up the mess you made?
Owning your choices?

It feels like we’re so afraid of harming self-esteem that we’re raising kids who can’t handle the real world. And let’s be honest—real life has consequences. Jobs, relationships, finances… they all demand accountability.

I worry about what happens when this generation hits the workforce and hears “no” for the first time. Or gets feedback. Or has to face the results of their actions without a safety net.

It’s not about being harsh—it’s about balance. And I still believe the answer lies somewhere in the middle.

Are you seeing this too? How do we teach responsibility without losing the heart?

Let’s talk about it 👇#authentic #marissamcdonough #businesscoach #connector #accountability #family #parenting #authenticconnector

“How do you feel about all the out-of-staters moving to Montana?”
I get this question a lot.

Since COVID, we’ve been discovered. Big skies, open space, small-town vibes? Yep, people are coming. And while I don’t have a key to lock the gate (believe me, I’ve looked 😅), I do have one piece of advice for anyone making the move:

👉 Just don’t be an asshole.
Pretty simple.

Respect the land. Respect the locals. Respect the lifestyle.
Montana isn’t just a pretty backdrop for your Instagram feed. It’s home to generations of hardworking people who live with grit, grace, and gratitude.

So if you’re new here—welcome. But don’t try to change it. Lean in, listen, learn, and leave it better than you found it.

Now I’m curious—how do YOU feel about the growth in your area? Let’s talk👇

What amount of money would make you do the work you’ve been avoiding? 💸

That was the question I asked my clients—and it changed the game.
We created a fine system: if they don’t complete their DAILY goal, they owe me cash.
No fluff. No excuses. Just radical accountability. 🔥

And guess what? They’re showing up. BIG.
Because when the stakes are real, so is the transformation.

This isn’t about punishment—it’s about commitment.
And sometimes the difference between stuck and soaring…
is simply being held to a higher standard.

Would YOU do it? 👇

🚨 $20,000 in Credit Card Debt… GONE.

One of the proudest moments I’ve had as a business coach just happened:
A client I’ve been working with since October 2024 officially paid off $20,000 in credit card debt—with 27% interest—by March 2025.

She had been making minimum payments for years, paralyzed by fear and stuck in avoidance.
But she did the hard thing.
She got honest about her finances.
She made two major payments.
She CUT UP THE CARD.

And now? She’s completely debt free—and moving toward big, fun goals with total clarity and confidence.

This is why I do what I do. Watching her take back control and change her future—it just lit me up.
She did the work. I just walked beside her.

If you’re sitting in fear or overwhelm right now, just know: you’re not alone, and it’s never too late to rewrite your story.

👏 She did it.
🔥 You can too.

Love it. Hate it. Can’t quit it.

Social media and I? We have a complicated relationship. Some days, I love it—watching my friends’ kids grow up, connecting with incredible people, and building a network that has fueled my businesses for 20 years.

And then there are the other days. The days when the fake, the chaos, and the performative nonsense make me want to shut it all down and retreat to my 20 acres, where my only interaction is with the Gus my golden in my backyard.🐶

But here’s what I remind myself: Social media is a tool, not reality. A highlight reel, not the full story. And while some people will sell their integrity down the river for likes and sales, that’s not my game. My game is real connection.

So on the days when I can’t take another second of it, I turn it off. I reset. And then I come back—because the right people, the real ones, make it worth it.

Anyone else have a love/hate relationship with this space? How do you handle it?

🚨 Can we talk about what’s happening in the coaching world?! 🚨

Is it just me, or is EVERYONE a coach these days? 🤯 I’m seeing:

👉 Influencers flexing how much $$$ they made and promising you the same if you just buy their blueprint.
👉 Coaches claiming you can work one hour a week and make bank (just pay for their system first).
👉 And let’s not forget the ones who had a direct message from Jesus last night… conveniently leading to a $997 offer. 🙃

Y’all… we need to step away from the B.S. 🚫

I believe in coaching. I believe in mentorship. But I also believe in keeping it REAL. Stop throwing money at people you know nothing about. Stop buying from people who don’t actually walk the walk. Find mentors who have actually done the work—not just the marketing.

When people ask if Bali was all zen…🤣🤪😬☀️

Our villa for the week in Bali with your own pool, main house & a guest house. Complete with a restaurant, bar, & spa in the backyard. This resort mainly hosts guest who purchase a package through a charity and runs as a nonprofit. The staff is SO kind & fun!☀️🌴

Today was straight out of a dream. We spent St.Patricks day doing a cooking class in Bali @baliaslirestaurant with the owner Penny. We went to the market and shopped, cooked for several hours, and enjoy an incredible lunch with views that are truly out of this world. This is a bucket list must do for anyone visiting Bali, Penny is truly one of those people who is changing the world one person at a time. ☘️ If this was all we did while in Bali it would be worth the trip. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

What are the three themes you’ll leave behind when you’re gone? 💭✨

When people think of you, what words will come to mind? Generous? Kind? Hardworking? A workaholic? Loving? Giving?

And more importantly—are you living in a way that reflects those themes every single day?

When I sat down and did this exercise, it was a powerful reminder of how I want to shape my life and the actions I need to take daily.

So, what are your three themes? And are you practicing them? Let’s be intentional about the legacy we’re building.

How Much Time?

How much time are you actually spending each day—each week—practicing the actions of the person you want to be? The person you want to be remembered as.

When you really break it down, it can be eye-opening (or maybe a little uncomfortable) to realize that the life you say you want and the way you actually spend your time don’t always align.

So… is it time for a little inventory and an overhaul? Or are you already nailing this? Let’s hear it—where are you at? #SelfCheck #BeWhoYouSayYouAre #authentic #connector #businesscoach #marissamcdonough #accountability #sales #flexibility #family

How do you want to be remembered when your time runs out?

As the fun one? The most successful? A family-first person? The hardest worker in the room?

The real question is—are you living each day as the person you want to be remembered as? Or are you caught up in the wrong things?

It’s not the big, flashy moments that define our legacy. It’s the small, daily choices.

So, tell me—how do you want to be remembered? And what’s one small change you can make today to become that person? Drop it in the comments. Let’s be intentional together. #authentic #connector #businesscoach #marissamcdonough #accountability #sales #flexibility #coach #family

That’s a wrap on sophomore basketball for Gabi. They lost a lot more than they won and loosing is real hard all season when you are competitive like Goose. I’m proud of how she held herself and continued to fight game in and game out with hustle. There is something to be said when you are having a real hard season in life and you continue to show up. Class & courage will get you far girls, keep learning and working.

You’re Playing the Comparison Game All Wrong…

Telling you not to compare yourself to others? That would be pointless—it’s human nature. But what if comparison isn’t the enemy? What if it’s actually one of your greatest teachers?

Instead of letting it make you feel “less than,” use it as proof of what’s possible. If someone else has done it—built the business, taken the trip, created time freedom—that means you can too. Their success isn’t a reason to feel stuck; it’s a blueprint for what’s achievable.

The trick? Avoid the comparison TRAP (where you scroll, envy, and do nothing) and instead, get to work. Use that inspiration as fuel. Ask yourself: If they can do it, why not me? 💡

What will your legacy be?

I’d argue it’s not about the big achievements or what’s written on your tombstone. It’s the small, consistent things you do every single day. 💡

✨ The way you make others feel
✨ The lessons you teach through your actions
✨ The integrity you lead with

Legacy isn’t built in one moment—it’s built in the little choices we make over a lifetime. In your family, career, and personal life, you’re creating your legacy right now.

So stop worrying about how you’ll be remembered someday and start focusing on what you’re doing today. Show up. Lead by example. Do more for others. Keep integrity at the heart of it all.

That’s the kind of legacy that truly lasts. ❤️ Could your organization benefit from a session on legacy? How about you personally, shall we team up to work on your legacy?

What happened to aging with grace?

Seriously, when did we decide that growing older naturally wasn’t good enough? Everywhere I turn, it’s:
❌ Freeze this.
❌ Fill that.
❌ Reverse everything.

We’re constantly being sold the idea that we need to fight aging—like it’s some disease to be cured rather than a privilege to be embraced. And let’s be real… is this just the beauty industry cashing in on our insecurities? Because it’s working.

And while we’re at it… does anyone else worry about what we’re actually putting into our bodies? Don’t come at me with “studies show it’s safe.” We’ve heard that before—remember when birth control was supposed to have zero long-term side effects? Fast forward 30-40 years, and we’re finally seeing the real impact.

I’m not here to judge—do what makes you feel your best. But can we at least have a real conversation about the pressure to look forever young? Can we normalize aging without a syringe? Can we value wisdom and experience as much as we value wrinkle-free skin?

Tell me—where do you stand? Is this empowerment or just another industry profiting off of our doubts? Let’s talk.👇#authentic #connector #businesscoach #marissamcdonough #accountability #family

🔥 Let’s flip the script on complaining. 🔥

It feels like everywhere we turn, someone is pointing out what’s wrong with the world. And sure, there’s plenty that needs fixing. But what if, instead of just complaining, we all committed to offering a solution every time we pointed out a problem?

Next time you catch yourself venting about something, ask:
➡️ Will this matter next week? Next month? Next year?
➡️ Instead of just pointing it out, what’s one thing that could actually make it better?

Imagine how much more productive (and less exhausting) our conversations would be if we focused on solutions over complaints. So here’s the challenge—before you hit “post” on that next rant or tell a friend what’s wrong, offer a fix instead.

Drop a 🙌 in the comments if you’re in! Let’s be part of the solution, not just the noise.

Stop doing it for them.

Why aren’t we letting our kids learn how to sell? Kids (and let’s be honest, a lot of adults too) need to know how to make an ask, look someone in the eye, and actually have a conversation—not just send a text—when they’re raising money for sports, school, or activities.

We, as parents, have made it way too easy. We post the fundraiser link on social media, drop the Venmo in a group chat, and the kid never has to ask for the sale themselves. No conversation. No handling rejection. No learning the skills that will actually serve them in life.

I want kids to learn selling. I want them to build confidence, hear “no” and keep going, and know how to ask—whether it’s for a sale, a job, or an opportunity.

We’re doing them a serious disservice if we don’t.

Who’s with me? Let’s get these kids selling again. Drop a 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️ if you agree!#authentic #connector #accountability #sales #marissamcdonough #businesscoach #family #directsales #coach

🚨 Don’t Wait to Figure It Out 🚨

Don’t wait until you’ve spent years working for someone else, only to wake up one day wondering how the hell so much time has passed and questioning what you’re doing with your life.

If you’re just starting your career, take the time NOW to figure out what you actually like. What lights you up? What makes you excited to jump out of bed in the morning?

Or maybe you’re in your 40s or 50s, feeling stuck—wondering if it’s too late to pivot, to reinvent yourself, to build something that actually excites you.

So, which camp are you in?
🔥 Stuck and ready for a change?
🚀 Looking to reinvent yourself?
💡 Just starting out and want to set yourself up for massive success?

Let’s talk about the thing most people avoid… MONEY.

Why is it so taboo? Over the last few weeks, I’ve been diving deep into money conversations with my coaching clients—budgets, credit card debt, car payments, child support… you name it. And here’s the truth: avoiding these conversations keeps people stuck.

When I built my first side business, I wasn’t afraid to say I was motivated by money. Not because I’m obsessed with money—but because I’m obsessed with choice. Money is just a tool. It’s what allows me to have more control over my time, my family’s future, and my life.

So, let’s break the silence. What’s one money topic you need to tackle to move forward? Budgeting? Debt? Making more money? Drop it in the comments—because knowledge is power, my friend. Let’s talk about it.

I took the girls & some friends to @oneandonlybigsky to check out all of their dad’s hard work these past few years. The girls hadn’t been up to see the progress and it was a gorgeous, blue-bird day. It was also -27° so I knew there wouldn’t be many people out. The girls loved everything and noted that the smash burgers at the ski lodge are the best they’ve ever had. 🤪 Oh, and the views aren’t too bad either. ;)
