Marilee Nies - Author, Designer, Creativity Coach, Mentor,, but mostly, Friend.
Hi, If we haven't met yet, I'm Marilee. If you’re on this page, chances are you’ve walked through a season that asked more of you than you expected.
Maybe life didn’t unfold the way you planned. Maybe you’ve carried grief, disappointment, or a dream you quietly tucked away because the timing never felt right.
I understand that place more than you might realize. I'm a mentor, entrepreneur, designer, podcast host of Express Light, and author of When Grief Meets GRIT, but more importantly, I’m someone who has learned that our hardest seasons often shape the courage we didn’t know we were building.
The L.I.G.H.T. Framework grew out of those lessons — the moments that asked me to look honestly at my story, rediscover my courage, and trust that even the quiet dreams in our hearts still matter.
Today, I help women like you reconnect with that courage, uncover the purpose within their story, and take meaningful steps toward the life and impact they feel called to create.
And if this workbook does one thing for you, I hope it reminds you that
your story is not finished,
your dream is not random,
and the light within you was never meant to stay hidden.💛

• have walked through a difficult season and are ready to find meaning in it

Always Remember You Are Amazing!
