What do you want (anyone thinking about The Notebook scene here?!)? Or better yet, when was the last time you asked yourself that question? In today's episode, Mary chats with Dr. Alison Cook - therapist and author of the new book "Best of You: Break Free from Painful Patterns, Mend Your Past, and Discover Your True Self in God." They discuss what exactly it is that contributes to the suppression of wants; things like: <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Childhood wounds</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Confusing church messages</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Cultural conditioning towards women and their wants</li> </ul> So maybe the question isn't "Am I being selfish?" after all. Maybe the question is "How can I love myself more in order to love others more? How can I love myself in order to be more like Jesus?" Listen and be encouraged by her wisdom!

The Selfless Move Toward Healing with Dr. Alison Cook

How do I overcome the FEAR that it's too late to chase a dream? How do I get out of being STUCK in perfectionism, worrying that people will judge me, and being caught up in comparison and self doubt? How do I stay motivated and stop procrastinating out of fear of failure, always feeling unprepared and unqualified before I even begin? How do I prioritize and start making consistent progress on my goals and dreams with highly successful habits, discipline, and focus? And the biggest question of all, how do I OWN my muddy story with bravery, courage, conviction and faith?  

If you have ever asked yourself these questions, take a deep breath, because you're in the right place.

Welcome to the Mary Marantz Show. Where we answer ALL those questions and more! A space to own the muddy parts of your story, build things that matter, and where slow growth always equals strong roots. 

Listen in each week as host, Mary Marantz, brings you honest conversations and her best tips about business, relationships, faith, goals & more... where we feel the fear and move forward anyway.

Along with serving her best business and life tips, you'll also hear motivating interviews from some of the best in the industry -  authors, speakers, leaders, and entrepreneurs like Natalie Franke, Jess Connolly, Jessica Honegger and more– to bring you one step closer to your goals.

You'll learn business strategies to more effectively serve your audience, receive inspiration to dig deeper and find freedom in relationships, and learn how to build a legacy that lasts.

You're here and you have scars. You're here and you have dirt in your story. You're here and you're afraid both of those disqualify you before you even start.

But you have a place here. Your story already matters.

Because one day, when we get to where it is we're going, it won't be despite these scars we bear. It will always be because of them.

Slow growth equals Strong roots.
