Summary

This is one of the best conversations I’ve had this year with the author of one of the best books I’ve read this year. Mary Marantz is a writer, podcaster, speaker, and the author of the book DIRT: Growing Strong Roots in What Makes the Broken Beautiful. I read this memoir after I appeared on Mary’s podcast The Mary Marantz show and I was blown away by her writing and her story. In our conversation, Mary and I talk about our similarities growing up in the country and then choosing to flee from it, only to discover that our roots will always be a part of our soul. There are so many parts of Mary’s story that I relate to, things that I’ve never said out loud and things that I’ve never seen expressed so beautifully. At one point, I get choked up sharing something that I’ve never shared publicly. I hope you’ll enjoy this special conversation.

0:27.6	one out to you early. I recorded it thinking it would air sometime in April maybe, that this conversation with fellow
0:35.1	podcaster and author Mary Marantz was so good, was so personally
0:40.9	meaningful to me that I'm releasing it just one week after we recorded.

1:13.1	So we had a great conversation over on her show,
1:15.3	especially about having both roots and wings,
1:19.5	growing up in one place and then finding freedom in another place. And so after we recorded together back then,
1:26.5	I went out and bought her book, Dirt. Y'all, I loved this beautiful memoir.

1:44.6	this story is about, you don't. We talk more about that in our conversation
