Trusted Advisors
Operators. Specialists. Trusted Partners to Founders, Executives, and Teams.
House of Bricks Trusted Advisors are experienced operators and specialists who work directly with leaders, founders, and teams on the real constraints that affect performance, decision-making, and growth.
They are not influencers and they are not generalists. Each advisor operates in a specific domain, health, leadership, operations, culture, performance, or strategy and works directly with clients in advisory, coaching, and implementation roles.
Our Trusted Advisors also contribute thought leadership to the House of Bricks newsletter, sharing practical frameworks, lessons from their work, and perspectives from their field so our community can learn from people who are actively in the arena, not just talking about it.
If you are looking for help in one of these areas, you can learn more and book directly with each advisor below.
Marina Pensinger
Women Founder Advisor | Helping Founders Untangle What’s Holding Them Back
Marina works with women founders who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in the same cycles in their business, burnout, micromanaging, overthinking, or feeling like they’re carrying everything alone.
Her work focuses on helping women identify the personal patterns, stress, and hidden roadblocks that are affecting how they lead and grow their companies. She helps untangle the personal side and the business side together so growth becomes clear, sustainable, and aligned with the life they actually want.
Marina isn’t a traditional coach, she’s a founder who has built and scaled multiple businesses and led teams through the same challenges her clients are facing. She brings direct guidance, structure, and accountability so women founders can step into leadership, build stronger businesses, and stop running themselves into the ground.

Alyssa Spaw
Adaptive Performance Advisor | Executive Stress & Energy Regulation | Speaker | APR Method™
Alyssa works with high-performing professionals and executives whose performance is being affected by stress, inconsistent routines, travel, and decision fatigue.
She helps leaders regulate stress, stabilize energy, and build adaptive performance systems so their health and physiology support their responsibilities instead of breaking down under pressure. Her work focuses on sleep, stress regulation, strength, nutrition, and adaptive capacity — the foundations that allow performance to be sustained over long periods of responsibility and leadership.
Her role is not to motivate or push intensity, but to build systems that hold under pressure and adjust as life changes, so clients can maintain consistency, energy, and performance over time.
