Hey friends + welcome to what will actually be the last conversation episode for the spring of 2025 + part 1 of what will now be a 2-part season of the Your Brand of Beautiful Podcast. This is a little bit of a change of plans but don’t worry, more updates on a solo-episode coming your way next week!

This week, we’re chatting about a true underdog story with author, Mary Marantz.

For those who don’t know her, Mary’s story is something special. She grew up in a West Virginia mountainside trailer + ended up being the first in her family to go to college — which just so happened to be Yale Law.

Today we’re talking all about her story + the books she’s written about it — including her newest, ‘Underestimated’ that comes out a WEEK FROM TODAY (pre-order details below).

In our conversation Mary is very poetically painting the picture of her life, including...

• How the dirt floor of her upbringing + the roots she thought would keep her chained to where she was forever, became the very thing that would open the door to Yale law.
• Why Slow Growth = Strong Roots is her life’s mantra (also the title of her second book).
• How her new book, Underestimated, uncovers that fear holds a lot of names (like Perfectionism, Procrastination, People Pleasing, Impostor Syndrome, Overthinking… 14 in total) -- including a deep dive on perfectionism in this conversation!

I just know this conversation is for someone out there listening and I can’t wait for you to dive in. You’ll have to tell me what you think!

About Mary Marantz: Mary Marantz grew up in a trailer in rural West Virginia. The first of her immediate family to go to college, she went on to earn a master’s degree in moral philosophy and a law degree from Yale. After ditching six-figure-salary law firm offers in London and New York and starting a business with her husband, Justin, together they have built their online education platform for creative entrepreneurs. Mary is a popular writer and speaker whose work has recently been featured by Business Insider, MSN, Bustle, and Brit+Co. And she is also the host of the iTunes Top 200 podcast, The Mary Marantz Show. She lives in an 1880s fixer-upper by the sea in New Haven, Connecticut with Justin and their two very fluffy golden retrievers, Goodspeed & Atticus.
