About Word & Sole

What is Word & Sole ?

We all have a unique story and unique journey. And oftentimes that story doesn’t follow a linear path or fit a single box.

Word & Sole Collective was created to honor those multifaceted journeys — the ones we write through our words and the soles of our feet as we wander.

We are a space dedicated to honoring and sharing authentic stories. We also provide expert content creation, coaching (Writing Coaching & Clarity Coaching), and writing/editing services through our founder, Marisa Donnelly, MEd.

Whether you’ve found your way here in the hopes of sharing your writing, connecting with other creators, or working with a coach, we’re happy you’re here.


Meet the Founder, Marisa Donnelly

Marisa Donnelly, M.Ed., is a writer/editor, teacher, coach, and ‘bonus’ mama to a sweet teenage boy. She’s the host of the Word & Sole Podcast, the author of Somewhere On A Highway (a collection of poems), and has published thousands of articles accumulating over 21.2+ million page views with bylines in Huffington Post, The Spruce, Bustle, BossBabe, Thought Catalog, and more.

Marisa is a big believer in dreams, self-love, inclusion, conscious parenting, special needs advocacy, and empowering others to relentlessly pursue their dreams (without losing themselves in the process).
