The Mary Marantz Show
Mary Marantz
How do I overcome the FEAR that it’s too late to chase a dream? How do I get out of being STUCK in perfectionism, worrying that people will judge me, and being caught up in comparison and self doubt? How do I stay motivated and stop procrastinating out of fear of failure, always feeling unprepared and unqualified before I even begin? How do I prioritize and start making consistent progress on my goals and dreams with highly successful habits, discipline, and focus? And the biggest question of all, how do I OWN my muddy story with bravery, courage, conviction and faith?
If you have ever asked yourself these questions, take a deep breath, because you’re in the right place.
Welcome to the Mary Marantz Show. Where we answer ALL those questions and more! A space to own the muddy parts of your story, build things that matter, and where slow growth always equals strong roots.
Listen in each week as host, Mary Marantz, brings you honest conversations and her best tips about business, relationships, faith, goals & more... where we feel the fear and move forward anyway.
Along with serving her best business and life tips, you’ll also hear motivating interviews from some of the best in the industry - authors, speakers, leaders, and entrepreneurs like Natalie Franke, Jess Connolly, Jessica Honegger and more– to bring you one step closer to your goals.
You’ll learn business strategies to more effectively serve your audience, receive inspiration to dig deeper and find freedom in relationships, and learn how to build a legacy that lasts.
You’re here and you have scars. You’re here and you have dirt in your story. You’re here and you’re afraid both of those disqualify you before you even start.
But you have a place here. Your story already matters.
Because one day, when we get to where it is we’re going, it won’t be despite these scars we bear. It will always be because of them.
Slow growth equals Strong roots.

How to Forgive When An Apology Doesn’t Come
How do you forgive someone of a deep hurt - when an apology is never actually given? Do we even have to forgive the person? And if we do forgive, do we have to reconcile? If you’re walking around with resentment from a hurtful conversation or action, this episode is for you, friend. Tune in as Mary walks through the first step of forgiveness, how to forgive when an apology isn’t given, overcoming the fear of being hurt again, and why forgiveness doesn’t always mean reconciliation. We’ve all been there – our feelings hurt and minds racing - replaying the conversation and how we wish we had responded. But no more. It’s time to gain freedom back for your head and heart because your relationship with yourself is too important to go another day carrying around that heavy weight of unforgiveness.

Why I Almost Never Wrote The Book
Have you ever had a goal or a dream that you are just too afraid to pursue? You come up with various excuses: it’s not the right time, you aren’t prepared enough, too many people are already doing the same thing, or the dream itself is too big? In short, have you ever felt STUCK? Let me share a little secret with you: ME TOO. What will separate you from the rest is how you handle this situation. If you feel stuck and don’t know where to start - let me be here to remind you: you get as many drafts as it takes to get it right. Heavy things get heavier the longer you hold them, so let the negativity and excuses go, friend! In this episode, I share when being STUCK was personally in full swing for me: while writing the proposal for my first book. And how it came close to almost not happening at all. You’ll learn what exactly kept me from starting (I think it may just be the same for you, too!), where your breakthrough is found, how to own your own story right where you are, and why Eminem was wrong when he said we only get one shot. I believe in you. You can absolutely do this. There is no dream in your heart that is too big, too hard, or too much for God to handle. We’ll either win or we’ll learn a lesson, but we’ll move forward either way.
