Summary

Do you often feel like something is holding you back? You can’t quite get to where you want to go professionally, relationally, or in personal habits and goals? 

Today Mary Marantz is here to tell us about the mental shifts that change everything. Mary’s story is riveting from growing up in a single-wide trailer in the mountains full of dirt and memories to Yale law school, she has stories to tell! Through her many experiences, she has learned how our self-limiting thoughts can hold us back and how to overcome them. Not through the typical “get it boss girl” mentality but practical steps that lead us to a life we want to live and enjoy, and how to lead our kids well in the area of achievement.  Here are some of our topics:

  • Why fear is a boring liar — and how to manage it
  • The "fear of success" and why it keeps us playing small
  • How childhood environments shape adult confidence: the power of speaking life over yourself and your kids
  • Feeling like everyone has a manual on how to do life and we have missed it
  • How to handle imposter syndrome and look for the “evidence to the contrary” of the lies in our head
