HOW ARE YOU FEELING AT WORK LATELY?

Are you CONSTANTLY feeling invisible at your job?

SICK of being passed over—again—for a promotion you earned?

TIRED of being told your experience “doesn’t translate” to the latest shiny project?

OVERWHELMED from wrestling with the anxiety of not knowing what’s next?

TERRIFIED a layoff is around the corner—and you have no backup plan?

IF THAT’S You, you’re not alone.

The research is in…

No Severance Package

No Backup Plan

No Clear Path Forward

No Quick, Sustainable 9-5 Alternatives

42% of women say they feel burned out at work often or almost always.

Nearly half of those are considering leaving their job in the next two years because of it (and that’s if they don’t get laid off first)

More than ever, seasoned professional women are being let go—suddenly and silently—and left with:

i’ve been where you are.

I’m Mary Knight—founder of The Radiant Resistance and a writer obsessed with entrepreneurship, freedom, and designing a life that feels as good as it looks.

For years, I navigated the corporate and tech startup worlds from a paralegal to Chief of Staff, Head of HR, and Director of Operations roles—chasing stability, playing by the rules, and trying to do everything “right” until I realized I was made for something more. (Hint: so are you.)

Now, I help women break free from the 9-5 grind, build radiant businesses, and reclaim their time, creativity, and independence—without sacrificing their skills, expertise, and experiences.

Most women I work with are overworked, under-fulfilled, and stuck in cycles that drain them and the people they love. They’ve been sold a story that success requires burnout—until they realize it doesn’t.

When they finally embrace a business model that aligns with their strengths and lifestyle, they wonder why they ever did it any other way.

And that’s why I created The Radiant Resistance - to offer options.

Your dream life isn’t out of reach. It’s waiting for you to choose it. Let’s make it happen—together!

  • Great question—because the answer is, I don’t hate all 9–5 jobs.
    I’ve had some that gave me incredible experience, mentorship, friendships, and a real sense of growth. I’m deeply grateful for that.

    What I do reject is the version of 9–5 that demands you trade your health, your time, and your dreams for a paycheck. The kind that keeps you small, exhausted, and dependent. The kind that punishes ambition if it doesn’t look like toxic corporate loyalty and burnout.

    I don’t hate 9–5 jobs—I hate the system that tells women that’s their only safe, respectable option.

    The Radiant Resistance is for anyone ready to reclaim their time, their talents, and their life—and build something of their own.



  • No problem! You don’t need a business idea to start—just a desire for more freedom, flexibility, and fulfillment. Inside The Radiant Resistance, I’ll help you uncover your unique strengths, passions, and skills so you can build a business that’s aligned with YOU—not a cookie-cutter strategy that doesn’t fit.

    You don’t need all the answers yet. You just need to take the first step.

  • Good! That means you won’t have to unlearn bad habits or strategies that don’t work. I built this from the ground up for women who want to create their own economy—whether you’re starting fresh or pivoting.

    I’ll show you exactly what to do, in what order, so you’re never stuck wondering, What’s next?

  • The truth? No one ever feels ready.

    Ready is an emotion - and it means you’re not scared at all to do the thing. And if I’m honest, I’m not sure if I’ve ever been ready for anything in my life!

    The biggest difference between those who create financial freedom and those who stay stuck is a commitment to preparedness & action.

    You don’t need all the answers. You don’t need to feel “ready.” You just need to decide that your dream life is worth pursuing—and start making the right moves.

    That’s why I built the Radiant Resitance—to help women get prepared, take action, and be supported every step of the way.

  • The beauty of The Radiant Resistance is that you set the pace. Whether you have 30 minutes a day or a full weekend to dive in, everything is designed to be bite-sized, actionable, and effective so you can make real progress—even if you're busy.

    Most of my group and private programs are designed to be completed in 90 days.

    💡 Reminder: Time will pass whether you do this or not. A year from now, you’ll either be exactly where you are now or looking back at how far you’ve come!

  • Most business coaching programs are either:

    🚫 Too generic (leaving you more confused than when you started)

    🚫 Too aggressive (forcing you into pushy, sales-y strategies that don’t feel right)

    🚫 Too expensive (charging tens of thousands before you even know if it works for you)

    The Radiant Resistance is different. I don’t believe in hustle-and-grind culture or vague advice. You’ll get:

    ✅ A step-by-step roadmap to clarity, confidence, and financial & time freedom

    ✅ A community of like-minded women who truly get it (and want you to succeed)

    ✅ A realistic, doable approach that fits into YOUR life—not the other way around

    I’ve spent over $10,000 and thousands of hours on courses, coaches, materials, and trainings over the years, but in the end I still had too many questions and not enough support.

    That’s why the Radiant Resistance programs are so immersive, comprehensive, and structured.

  • No matter where you are on your journey, the fastest way to get into The Radiant Resistance is to take the free crash course.

    When you sign up, you’ll get access to the video modules, worksheets, and:
