Marylin (Maz) Schirmer: Pioneering emotional resetting for a new era of healing and leadership

Maz’s trauma started young. By age five, she’d already learned to suppress her emotions. Abuse followed her into adulthood. At 30, she fled an abusive marriage with her four kids.

Everyday sole parenting required that she maintain a face of normalcy, but inside, she was breaking—traumatised too many times to count, too weak to take care of herself, let alone be responsible for four little ones under seven on her own.

“I didn’t realise how much of my life was just reacting and faking it. Living on alert. Pretending I was fine,” Maz shares.

Escaping and going into hiding for over a year, with threats continuing years later, prolonged her healing. The emotional patterns stayed—wired deep into her. Fear, guilt, and control ran through her family’s bloodline. She saw them in her mother, and her mother’s mother. She didn’t want that for her kids, but it kept showing up in her life.

The Seizure That Shifted Everything

Maz’s turning point came in a brief window between consciousness and unconsciousness—after a grand mal seizure. She awoke at the bottom of a phone booth, mid-escape from her abusive husband.

It wasn’t a breakdown. It was a radical epiphany, like a series of previously missed life lessons hit home all at once before her faculties had returned to her body. Time stood still and she realised what she’d previously been unable to, with no beliefs or conditioning in the way, she was re-identified as courageous and able, at the most hopeless time of her life—and the wake-up call she needed to transform everything.

That moment set everything in motion. Her life, her healing, her mission, her success. She went from a destitute single mother to building million-dollar businesses, guiding leaders on how to lead from healed hearts and full cups. She became a lighthouse of hope for thousands who resonated with her story.

It’s a defining moment many professionals face—burnout, shutdown, misalignment. It’s not failure. It’s feedback. A signal to pause and go deeply, but it can be painfully. Emotional patterns need to be addressed before we can truly thrive.

Success Without Safety

Maz began studying emotional behaviour. She noticed a pattern, especially in women: our reactions often come from how we see ourselves—and generations of conditioning that taught women they were the “weaker” sex.

We bottle emotions. Lead from logic. Push harder. Hide our insecurities. Keep going—at all costs. But real success doesn’t come from suppression. It doesn’t come from mainstream modalities either, which she found often led women to revert to old patterns within months. That wasn’t cycle-breaking. Something was missing blocking sustainability.

Maz developed a new framework—fast, deep, and backed by neuroscience and female brain research. She resets at the unconscious root level, consciously through self realised wisdom that’s personalised to each individual. It doesn’t take years. And it changes lives. That system transformed her—and it became a movement.

Limitlessness®: A People-Powered Healing Revolution

Maz created the Limitlessness® Zone, where gaining personalised Wisdom just happens to Heal and Empower—a global online space where people come to heal from emotional perspectives that no longer serve, grow, and support one another, without relying on conventional mental health systems. It’s a scalable, self-facilitated model that decentralises healing, a people's version of psychology, that's far simpler.

Women use Creatrix® in guided 1:1 sessions—imagine Zoom breakout rooms, but deeply transformational. These sessions are designed to be safe enough to dissolve trauma without even needing to retell the story. This makes it a revolutionary tool for trauma and emotional blocks—safe, quick, and permanent. You can lead a mighty mission without the insecurities and not ENOUGHNESS anymore.

Men have their own process: RENOVATRIX™—a parallel method tailored to their neurological wiring. It helps men shift limiting perceptions, regain clarity, and reconnect with emotional balance—without meds, diagnoses, or pressure to talk it out.

This isn’t a theory. Thousands have already used it to heal and thrive when the traditional system failed them. With wider support, Maz believes this could decongest overloaded mental health systems and create a more empowered, emotionally intelligent society, all the while breeding out the history we want to stop with us.

A New Kind of Leadership

Today’s leaders need more than skills—they need emotional clarity. Many carry patterns that sabotage them: overthinking, control, people-pleasing, burnout.

Maz helps them break those patterns fast—not with therapy, but through subconscious rewiring. It’s a practical, human, effective approach to emotional evolution.

This isn’t just personal growth. It’s freedom. And when leaders evolve, that shift ripples into their teams, families, and wider communities.

From Trauma to Transformation

Maz’s story is raw—but not rare. Many women go through life looking “fine” while carrying invisible wounds. She’s not the only one—but she’s one of the few who turned healing into a system that educates the nervous system and universally ripens intuition. .

Her message is simple: You’re not broken. You’re just stuck in survival mode. But you can rewrite safety and upgrade the lessons learned into the nervous system—fast.

The Fluxx Awards recognised her futuristic vision. Not just the lasting outcomes Dr, but the innovation behind it. Maz isn’t just transforming lives—she’s shifting paradigms. One healed leader at a time. One ripple of transformation at a time.

Leadership doesn’t need more polish. It needs truth. Vulnerability. Emotional Intelligence. That’s the future Maz is building—with Limitlessness® Zones accessible in every time zone around the globe.
