Spiritually Savvy is the podcast where personal growth meets spiritual expansion — and curiosity leads the way.
Hosted by Marisa Rylan, a former six-figure recruiter turned spiritual life coach, speaker, and author, this show is for high-achieving, soul-led women who are done with surface-level success and ready to manifest a life that actually feels good.
After walking away from burnout, divorce, and a hustle-fueled life, Marisa built a business — and a life — rooted in alignment, intuition, and deep inner work. Now, she’s sharing the conversations, tools, and spiritual principles that transformed her journey and continue to guide her evolution.
Every other week, you'll hear thought-provoking solo episodes, raw and real interviews with spiritual thought leaders, and behind-the-scenes insights from the masterminds, mentors, and magical moments that shape her path.
Whether you're manifesting your next chapter or craving more meaning in your current one, Spiritually Savvy is here to help you embody your truth, expand your consciousness, and create your version of a wildly fulfilling life.

Welcome to Spiritually Savvy, the podcast that brings spiritual wisdom into everyday life. I'm your host Marissa Ryland. I'm a former corporate recruiter turned spiritual life coach and manifestation mentor. I help spiritually curious women deepen their connection to themselves, raise their vibration, and learn how to manifest with ease. Together in this podcast, we'll explore all your favorite spiritual concepts and break down the buzzwords, turning them into simple, meaningful practices to help you grow, heal, and manifest the life you truly desire.
Marisa:In each episode, I'll be joined by different thought leaders, teachers and experts from all across the spiritual landscape to help you dive even deeper. If you're ready to expand your spiritual practice and live with more intentionality, you're in the right place. Now let's dive into All the Woo! Welcome to this very first episode, a solo intro to spiritually savvy, where personal growth meets spiritual expansion and curiosity leads the way. I am so excited that you are here with me today because I wanna kick things off by sharing a little bit about how this podcast came to be and exactly why it feels so much more aligned and true and exciting than literally anything else I've ever created.
Marisa:Last year, I started a podcast. You might remember. It was called Beyond Busy, and I had amazing guests, really good conversations. And at the time, it felt like the next natural progression in my business. I had been doing a lot of coaching and stepping into speaking, and starting a podcast seemed to just make sense.
Marisa:It felt like the right thing to do, like what I should be doing. Right? I'm sure you've been there with something in your business or your personal life. It seemed so logical, but here's the thing. It didn't light me up the way that I thought that it would.
Marisa:Something about it just felt off. It didn't feel like the exact expression of who I am or what it is that I am meant to share. So instead of forcing it, I made the decision to pull back on beyond busy. I gave myself permission to pause, to sit with it, to explore it, and to ask myself some deeper questions. Like, was it podcasting that didn't feel aligned?
Marisa:Podcasting itself. Was it the topics? Was it the energy that I was bringing? Was I rushing the process or feeling like an impostor? I gave it time.
Marisa:I let myself be in the unknown even though, to be honest, that's not easy, especially when you're used to being in motion. And what I discovered in that space through that exploration is that it wasn't podcasting that was misaligned. It was the version of the podcast that I had created. It wasn't fully mine. It wasn't the podcast that I was uniquely meant to deliver.
Marisa:Beyond busy was great, but I built it from my mind. It was what I thought I needed to create for other people. And spiritually savvy is built from my soul. When I went through my business rebrand, that became so abundantly clear to me. You know, I realized that I wasn't here to create just another personal development podcast or offer surface level conversations and steps or tips on balance and busyness.
Marisa:Right? I am here to create and deliver something deeper, something more spiritual, more curious, and honestly, less mainstream. Something that brings you, the listener, into the conversations that I'm already having in my personal and my spiritual life. The ideas, the tools, the breakthroughs that have changed my life and continue to change my life and my way of being. I wanted you, the listener, to feel like a fly on the wall, to hear from thought leaders and healers and teachers and extraordinary humans that I've been lucky enough to meet through different events and masterminds and communities that I'm a part of.
Marisa:Because these conversations, they're not just interesting. They are literally life changing. They open your mind. They shift your energy and expand what you're willing to believe is possible for you. So Spiritually Savvy was born from that intention to create a space where we can explore both foundational spiritual concepts and some of the new emerging ideas that continue to stretch and to challenge us as we evolve since we are always evolving.
Marisa:So you're gonna hear from some incredible guests and sometimes just me sharing things that are real, that are raw, maybe a little kooky or different and transformative. Things that I hope will light a spark in you just as they have in me because I really believe that we are not meant to stay the same. We are designed to continue growing, keep awakening, keep deepening our spiritual development as we walk this human path. So you can expect a new episode from me every other week during season one. I can't wait to have you with me on this journey.
Marisa:Thank you so much for being here. It's truly an honor to be able to bring Spiritually Savvy to life, and I can't wait for what's ahead.
