If you are ready to be wrapped up in the warmest, most loving hug of your life AND YET given a shove of encouragement and truth… wow okay wow. Listen to today’s show.   Today we have the INCREDIBLE honor of talking to one of the most incredible women.   Author, speaker, and podcast host, Mary Marantz, grew up in a single-wide trailer in rural West Virginia. The first of her immediate family to go to college, she went on to earn a law degree from the nation's top-ranked law school, Yale. After ditching six-figure-salary law firm offers in London and New York, she started a business with her husband, Justin. Together they have built a successful online education platform for creative entrepreneurs. She is also the host of the highly ranked and popular podcast The Mary Marantz Show. Mary released her first book, "Dirt: Growing Strong Roots in What Makes the Broken Beautiful," in September. She lives in an 1880s fixer-upper by the sea in New Haven, Connecticut, with her husband, Justin, and their two very fluffy golden retrievers, Goodspeed and Atticus.   GOSH, we have so many things to say about today’s interview, but if you’ve ever felt like you don’t belong somewhere because of dirt in your past or where you grew up, or that you have to hide parts of your story to fit in… this show is gonna wreck you in all the best ways. Today we talk to Mary about her story growing up in the dirt of West Virginia, how our experiences as a child have such an impact on us as adults, struggling with imposter syndrome and encouragement in how to overcome it, and how to handle feeling like you’re “betraying” your past or upbringing by chasing “more.”   Show notes:  http://theheartuniversity.com/129-embracing-your-dirt-being-the-most-polished-in-the-room-with-mary-marantz   Lightroom Challenge: www.theheartuniversity.com/challenge   www.theheartuniversity.com/guide-freebie   If you want to connect with us and other listeners in the Heart and Hustle community join our Facebook group here.   Follow along with Mary:  www.marymarantz.com www.thebookdirt.com www.themarymarantzshow.com www.instagram.com/marymarantz   Follow along: www.instagram.com/mrslindseyroman www.instagram.com/evierupp www.instagram.com/theheartuniversity  

Now one of the BIGGEST questions we get asked ALL the time is “How do I get bookings?”    That question is SO loaded because it can’t be answered with a simple 3 step formula and boom, you have bookings!

Have you ever hit burnout as a business owner? Ever dealt with anxiety, depression, or overwhelmed because you’re trying to hustle your business into success, but simultaneously driving yourself into the ground? Today’s episode is for YOU if so.  We had our dear friend Amanda Coker on the show to share her story and to give you a much-needed dose of wisdom and encouragement. Amanda is an Atlanta-based photographer and entrepreneur; she is the founder of Dash Photography, a wedding + senior photography team, and Revīv Retreats, wellness retreats for women in business leadership. She believes sharing her journey with mental health and business brings purpose to the pain, and empowers women to find freedom in the midst of theirs.   We talked about SO much with Amanda today. Her story of hitting complete and total burnout mentally about 4 years into her business because she wasn’t caring for her body, her time, her relationships, and sacrificing it all on the altar of achievement. She chats about how anxiety and depression stemmed from that and the steps she took to take back her life and business. Near the end of the conversation she shares how 2020 personally affected her, and we can guarantee you will relate to even a little bit of her story.  It’s powerful. It’s real. It’s encouraging.  Amanda holds nothing back, and we hope after you listen to this episode, you won’t feel alone if you’re struggling with overwhelm, anxiety, depression, and hitting burnout. It doesn’t have to be this way.   Show notes: http://theheartuniversity.com/127-anxiety-depression-overwhelm-and-hustling-to-the-point-of-hitting-rock-bottom-with-amanda-coker   www.theheartuniversity.com/shop   Struggle feeling confident taking content photos of yourself?  Here is the solution to your problem: https://theheartuniversity.com/content-minor   If you want to connect with us and other listeners in the Heart and Hustle community join our Facebook group here.   Follow Amanda:  www.amandacoker.com www.reviveretreat.com www.tiktok.com/@amandawcoker www.instagram.com/amandawcoker   Follow along: www.instagram.com/mrslindseyroman www.instagram.com/evierupp www.instagram.com/theheartuniversity

Today's podcast episode is for the person who hates Mondays because you struggle with viewing work as something good. Full disclosure: This episode is coming from our foundational beliefs and worldviews as Christians and believers in God’s word. And we don’t apologize for that. We’ve never shied away from sharing our faith, and today’s topic is SO foundational to the way God created us to live.  We’re diving deep today on if God intended work to be good or if it is a byproduct of the fall. We’re chatting about practical ways you can deal with your job if you are currently in a job you loathe and hate. How can you steward where you’re at with grace and a good attitude? And lastly, we chat about the opposite of work, REST. How important work and rest are in balance with each other, and so much more!

If you’ve ever wondered what the heck people are talking about when they say “passive income sources” or “diversifying your revenue streams” or you’ve just felt overwhelmed by the concept, even if you understand it, then today’s episode is gonna hopefully help ya out big time.   Today we break down over 9 ways you can diversify your business model and create multiple income streams. This is a short and snappy episode to pump you full of ideas that you can begin to run with.   The reality is, having all of your income coming from one source can be a little high-risk. As I think we’ve all seen from Covid and the complete shut down of most in-person business activities in the entire year of 2020. So this episode is hopefully just a kickstart show FULL of ideas to help you get your wheels turning and start generating those income streams.   Ready for more financial freedom??   Show notes: http://theheartuniversity.com/124-creating-multiple-streams-of-income-diversifying-your-business Lightroom Challenge: www.theheartuniversity.com/challenge   www.theheartuniversity.com/guide-freebie   If you want to connect with us and other listeners in the Heart and Hustle community join our Facebook group here.   Follow along: www.instagram.com/mrslindseyroman www.instagram.com/evierupp www.instagram.com/theheartuniversity

We're chatting about something we think we all struggle with at one point or another to one extent or another. And wow it’s a big one. Victim Mentality.  Our mindsets are one of the most powerful tools (or land mines) we have in life. Having the right mindsets often leads to massive, long-lasting success. It’s not just fluffy words and “you can do it” attitudes… it’s deeply seeded psychological responses that dictate our actions in life. We’re diving into one of the killer mindsets that can destroy us if we’re not careful. The reality is, victim mentality keeps you from living the life God called you to live. We’re believing lies that dictate our identity, worth, and abilities. It’s one of the biggest roadblocks keeping you from success. We talk about how to know if you’re struggling with a victim mentality and then dive into how to fight and overcome it. If you’re ready to stop sitting around letting lies control your life, you’re gonna want to listen to this episode. It is a tough-love episode but is also something that everyone struggles with in one form or another. It’s also something that could be perceived as harsh, we’re not wanting to call you out, but it also can prevent you from living out the life that God called you into. Step out of living like a victim and living in the true calling that God called you to. That is our heart behind this episode. It’s to empower you and the best kick in the pants with the love possible and is a reminder for us as well.   Show notes: http://theheartuniversity.com/122-living-in-victim-mentality-heres-how-to-overcome-that   HoneyBook: share.honeybook.com/heart In addition to a FREE 7 day trial, get 50% off your first year of HoneyBook, a $200 value!!    www.theheartuniversity.com/courses   If you want to connect with us and other listeners in the Heart and Hustle community join our Facebook group here.
