Hey friend, welcome to Girls Night, where we work through life's biggest decisions and transitions

together. I'm your host, Stephanie May Wilson, and I'm so glad you're here. Let's get started.

I'm so excited about today's episode, because today we're talking about how to stop letting fear

run your life. If you're anything like me,

you have this vision for your life and your career and your family, but somehow fear, self-doubt,

and uncertainty keep creeping in, whispering that you're not enough or that you're just not ready.

Well, it's time to silence those voices and start living life the way you actually want to.

Our guest for today's episode is my friend Mary Morantz. Mary is the three-time best-selling author

of Underestimated, Dirt, and Slow Growth Equal Strong Roots, as well as the host of the popular

podcast, The Mary Morant's Show.

She grew up in a trailer in rural West Virginia and was the first in her family to go to college before going on to Yale for law school.

I was so blown away by Mary's story.

She in this episode is teaching us how to reclaim our power from fear and create a new narrative for our lives.

This is seriously one of my favorite episodes ever.

I know I say that all the time, but really it's true.

I can't wait for you to hear from her.

Hi, dear one.

If you're a woman over 40 or the daughter of one who wants to build a positive mindset, healthier habits, and thriving relationships, this is the show for you. We talk about personal growth, faith, resilience, and creating a life you're obsessed with. So if you're tired or feeling stuck and ready to step into more joy and purpose,

Friends, I'm so excited for who I have here on the show today. I'm sitting here with my friend Mary, Marantz. Mary, welcome to girls night.

Oh my gosh. Stephanie. I feel like you're, you know, you're thousands of miles away from me right now,

but I've been looking forward to this as if we were having an actual girls night. Yoga pants,
