My Story
I'm Mari Riser, the founder of RiserVision.
Welcome!
Imagine us sitting together by a flickering fire, tea in hand, warm blankets around our knees. That’s the vibe I want this blog to have, cozy, honest, a little messy, but full of light.
​
Life hasn’t been a straight road for me, not by a long shot. But here I am, still walking it, still learning, and still finding joy in the smallest things.​​​
​
For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to help people, to make them smile, to help them understand themselves, and to feel a little lighter in their own skin.
​
I didn’t know how for a long time, but writing has always been my way to make sense of the world. So blogging felt natural.
Even if one person reads something here and thinks, “Ah, that helps me,” then I consider that a success.
A Rough Beginning
​I grew up with more than my share of challenges.
I moved countries at three, and my childhood was shaped by alcohol, neglect, and abuse (physical, mental, and sexual), just to mention a few.
Life threw storms at me that no kid should ever face.
​​
I carried the weight of the world on my shoulders, but still did everything to make others feel lighter.
Teen Motherhood
​
At 17, I became a mother to my beautiful little girl. Suddenly, there was someone else to fight for, a tiny guiding light who changed everything.
She gave me a reason to start healing, to make sure I didn’t pass on trauma, and to slowly reclaim my life.
Rest In Peace
Mom
When my mother passed away, it was both heavy and liberating. We had a deeply complicated relationship, and for years I had been protecting myself from criticism, manipulation, and unmet expectations.
​
I loved her, and I believe she loved me in her way, but it was never enough for me. When she was gone, my nervous system, my body, and my mind finally allowed themselves to collapse.
​
For the first time, I didn’t have to fight, survive, or keep up appearances.
It was overwhelming, but slowly, I began reclaiming my health, my energy, and my sense of self.
Rising From The Ashes (or bed)
Last year, I finally worked through most of my traumas and triggers, and just as I felt mentally stronger than ever, my body decided to collapse.
​
For a long time, it felt like I was a prisoner in my own skin. Mentally, I was ready to live fully, but my body hadn’t received the memo.
At my lowest, I spent 22 to 23 hours a day lying down, because everything else felt physically impossible.
​
Now, slowly but surely, I’m having more good days, able to stand, move, and engage with life.
I’m sharing here what I’m learning and doing to reclaim my health, my energy, and my freedom.
I had spent my whole life thinking I had to fix myself to feel worthy. But the truth was, I had to see my worth first and the rest started to follow.
Today, I’m still on this healing journey. I’m learning, shedding old layers, and building a life guided by love, curiosity, and yes, a healthy dose of chaos.
​
This blog is where I share that process. Some days I write about mental health, personal growth, or wellbeing. Other days I might dive into tarot cards, painting, or even knitting, basically whatever catches my neurospicy brain that week. Life is wide, messy, and endlessly fascinating, and so is this space.
​
I don’t share this for sympathy. I share it because I want you to see what I’ve learned. You are not broken, your story is still being written, and transformation is always possible.
​
So, if you’ve ever felt lost, stuck, or just curious about life and all its weird little corners, you’re in the right place. Pour yourself some tea, settle in, and let’s walk this journey together, one messy, joyful, enlightening step at a time.
In case no one has said this, I'm proud of you
