24. The Power in Owning Your Story and Digging Through Your Dirt with Mary Marantz

Published: Sept. 14, 2020, 10 a.m.

On today’s episode, Heather sits down with one of our long-term and favorite clients, podcast host, speaker, and author, Mary Marantz. Mary has been a Choice client for years now, all the while working towards her dream of becoming an author. That dream came true in the last year, and this episode releases just one day before Mary’s first book publishes. Her memoir is called “Dirt: Growing Strong Roots in What Makes the Broken Beautiful,” and it chronicles Mary’s journey from a literal dirt floor in the mountains of West Virginia to the halls of Yale Law School. Mary and Heather talk about “Dirt,” of course, but they also talk about how we deal with the difficult parts of our stories, the beauty of second drafts, the legacy of work ethic, the labels we receive as children that haunt us in adulthood, the power we give shame, and what success looks like when you “have it all.”
