Our Time to Rise in Midlife

Ep.502: The Power of the Underestimated with Mary Marantz


Listen Later

Ever felt like you're not enough, or that someone's going to find out you don't belong? You're not alone—and Mary Marantz gets it.

In this honest and inspiring conversation, Mary—author, speaker, and host of The Mary Marantz Show—shares her journey from growing up in a trailer in rural West Virginia to graduating from Yale Law and becoming a bestselling author. But this isn't a highlight reel. Mary opens up about wrestling with fear, imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and the pressure to constantly strive for more.

We talk about what it really means to feel stuck (especially in midlife), why procrastination isn't laziness, and how urgency can actually be a gift. Mary also breaks down the difference between setting goals and living with intention—and why that distinction matters.

If you're tired of chasing worth and ready to reclaim your story, this episode is for you.
