Mary Fran Bontempo is a force of nature
A successful columnist and humorist, Mary Fran found herself in an industry that was rapidly changing, marginalizing her and forcing her into an unwanted and unplanned obsolescence. But she wasn’t ready to be “old,” or to let her voice be silenced.
Mary Fran reinvented herself, and became a sought-after public speaker and author. And then life delivered what she calls the “Sucker Punch.”
Her story of how she navigated her son’s overdose and addiction recovery, kept her family together, and became a thought leader, TEDx Speaker, and renowned podcaster is inspiring.
This is a great conversation that will show you the power of resilience, hope, and faith.
