Marisa is a pregnant mommy with a 16-month old son and two wonderful step daughters (ages 11 and 13). Having always been a “type A” professional up until the birth of her son Trey, she’s learned a lot about the art of finding balance between her job, family, daily workouts, healthy eating and the fast-paced lifestyle of being the wife of a professional top fuel racecar team owner/driver. Marisa leads a very full but fun, active lifestyle with daily lighthearted anecdotal events to share about the joys and challenges of a non-traditional family that works beautifully together.
