In this powerful episode, I sit down with Mary Marantz—author, speaker, and Yale Law graduate who grew up in a single-wide trailer in West Virginia. Mary’s story is one of grit, grace, and the kind of quiet strength that comes from being underestimated. We dive deep into what it looks like to rise from humble beginnings and how to stop living life trying to prove yourself to others.
Mary shares vulnerable truths about the mindsets that keep women stuck—perfectionism, imposter syndrome, people-pleasing, overthinking—and the practical shifts that lead to freedom. If you’ve ever battled self-doubt or felt like you were meant for more but fear keeps holding you back, this episode will remind you: you’re not behind, you’re being built.
