Well Coached with Chris Weinberg

From Underdog to Unstoppable: Turning Hard Stories into Purpose with Mary Marantz

Listen Later

In this incredibly inspiring episode of Well Coached, bestselling author and speaker Mary Marantz joins Chris to talk about her journey from a single-wide trailer in rural West Virginia to Yale Law School and beyond. Mary unpacks how her new book Underestimated calls women to stop shrinking themselves to fit a story they’ve outgrown. With grace, grit, and wisdom, she shares what it means to own your story—especially the hard parts—and how doing so can become the foundation for purpose, power, and true leadership.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why your background doesn't define your future—but your mindset might
  • How to turn pain, shame, and “not enough” into platforms for impact
  • The danger of minimizing your story and how to step into visibility
  • How to lead with vulnerability, truth, and courage
  • What it really takes to be underestimated—and rise anyway
