I’m thrilled to welcome back my dear friend Mary Marantz for her third appearance on the show! If you’ve been here a while, you already know how incredible Mary is- she’s a powerhouse in every sense of the word. As a podcaster, author, speaker, photographer, and coach, she truly does it all.

Today, we’re diving into her latest book, Underestimated, which releases later this month. We’re talking about what it means to be underestimated, why fear is a boring liar, and how playing small was never part of your purpose. This conversation was so good and I’m so excited to share it with you!

4:23 – Mary 301

  • Catching up since Mary’s second book
  • The experience writing Underestimated
  • The journey leading up to this book

6:25 – The Starting Line

  • Starting over in your 40s
  • It’s never too late to achieve your goals
  • Untangling limiting beliefs

13:32 – Fear Is A Boring Liar

  • Fear often repeats the same lies
  • Fear’s jealousy of creativity
  • How the enemy uses deception
  • Flipping the fear narrative

27:31 – The Power of Naming Fear

  • How unaddressed fears can lead to burnout
  • Having an accountability partner
  • Mirrors and microscopes
  • Learning and growing from your mistakes

50:09 – Closing Thoughts

  • Who this book is for
  • Mary’s prayer for her readers
  • Pre-ordering your copy of Underestimated

FEATURED QUOTES

“What does it look like for us to quit playing small on the good work that’s been prepared for us in advance?”

“This book is for the one who feels like they’re being called up to greatness. They’re being called up to more, but at the very same time, you simultaneously doubt that someone like you could ever get there.”

“God did not call you to play small. He did not call you to shrink back. He made you for more than you realize.”

Our girl graduated fifth grade today and sang the National Anthem 🥹 And yes, I was a blubbery mess. I’m so grateful God saw fit for me to be her mama. We are so proud of the amazing young woman she’s becoming. #lillstillhomemovies

🎊 ONE WHOLE YEAR 🎉

My debut memoir, “If I Don’t Laugh, I’ll Cry” has been out in the world for one whole year today. Writing this book was hard and holy work, and it’s been such a joy to see how many of you have laughed, cried, and laughed till you cried.

Thank you for the support of this book. ❤️

If you’ve read it, would you do me a *huge* favor and leave a review on Amazon and Goodreads? And would you share the book with a friend or on social media? It would mean the world to me.

And if you haven’t picked up a copy or downloaded the audiobook yet, what are you waiting for? 😉
