Significant Women with Carol McLeod | Carol Mcleod Ministries
In this episode of Significant Women, I have the great joy of welcoming Mary Marantz, a gifted author, speaker, and host of The Mary Marantz Show. Mary's story is both tender and powerful—a testimony of healing, courage, and transformation. Together, we talk about what it means to break free from generational pain, let go of perfectionism, and begin the long, faithful journey of becoming who God created us to be.Mary shares rich insight from her new book Underestimated, a message for every woman who has questioned her voice, her strength, or her ability to make a meaningful impact. Our conversation explores the process of healing from the inside out, recognizing fear for the liar it is, and learning to trust yourself as a vessel for the work God has entrusted to you.This episode will meet you in your hidden places and help you start again—with grace, with faith, and with a deeper sense of purpose.In this episode, we discuss:Healing from decades of limiting beliefs and deep-rooted fearThe myth that “more” will lead to our downfallGenerational patterns and where the chain breaksThe link between perfectionism and fearHow self-sabotage keeps us in cycles of playing smallWhy consistency is more powerful than excellence aloneReparenting yourself as an adult and learning to feel safeUnderstanding the Parable of the Talents as a call to trustHow to stop delaying obedience while waiting for “permission”Embracing your God-given gifts and using them with courageScripture Themes:Matthew 25:14–30 — The Parable of the TalentsThe calling to be faithful with what you've been givenThe importance of small, daily obedience in spiritual growthTrusting that if God gave it to you, He intends for you to use itMary's Books Mentioned:Dirt — A memoir about returning home and making peace with your pastSlow Growth Equals Strong Roots — A guide for those tired of hustle, who long to grow at a soul-deep levelUnderestimated — A book for every woman who feels overlooked, underqualified, or unsure of her place in God's planQuotes to Remember:“We are doing the heavy lifting of breaking generational chains. So it's okay if it takes us a little longer.”“You were never asked to be perfect. You were asked to be faithful.”“When we hide our gifts, we forfeit the good work that was prepared in advance for us.”“Fear is not creative. It's repetitive. The lies don't change. But neither does the truth.”Carol's Challenge to Listeners:Start small. Ask yourself: What one thing can I do today to become more of the woman I long to be? Maybe it's a simple decision. Maybe it's a single act of obedience. But begin there. Because your story matters, and the small things are never small when done with God.Mary's Final Prayer:Mary closes the episode with a beautiful and vulnerable prayer over every woman listening. She prays that you would grow weary of fear, stop giving weight to old lies, and begin trusting the God who planted gifts in you before the foundation of the world. She reminds us that showing up matters more than being perfect—and that hiding your voice serves no one.Where to Find Mary Marantz:Website: www.marymarantz.comInstagram: @marymarantzPodcast: The Mary Marantz ShowBooks: Available wherever books are soldListen and Subscribe:If this episode encouraged you, consider subscribing and leaving a review.

Today, we’re throwing it back to Session 321 — Some Thoughts On Playing Small. This quick episode was inspired by a line from Issa Dee, the beloved character played by Issa Rae in Insecure: “How much different would your life be if you actually went after what you wanted?” It’s a question that feels especially relevant now as we head into summer. The days are longer, the sun is out, and so many of us are ready to stretch, grow, and shine a little brighter. So, what would it look like to stop shrinking and give yourself permission to take up more space, both at work and in your daily life, as well as in your relationships and dreams? I hope this episode encourages you to reflect on where you might be playing small and how you can start showing up more fully for yourself.

Hey y'all—Brig here. Today I'm bringing you a topic that might hit close to home: playing small just to stay loved. Whether it's at work, in relationships, or even around family, too many of us shrink ourselves to make others feel more comfortable. I've been there. I know what it's like to silence your voice, tone yourself down, and wear outdated roles just to keep the peace. But that strategy? It's costing you more than you realize. In this episode, I'm not here to shame you—I'm here to bring awareness. To name the cages. To help you identify the "shrink scripts" you've inherited from well-meaning people who didn't know any better. I'll show you how to unkage your voice, your body, your mind, and your entire life. Because surviving isn't the same as living—and queen, it's time to live unkaged. What We'll Dive Into in This Episode: Why conditional love is often disguised as safety The emotional cost of shrinking yourself in friendships, at work, and at home The invisible work no one sees—but that's changing you daily “Shrink scripts” from family, culture, and your own past—and how to rewrite them The difference between surviving and thriving A powerful voice note exercise to reconnect with your growth Take Action – Your Uncaging Starts Now Ask yourself: Where are you still playing small to be loved?

You don't need another funnel. You need a message that pierces through digital noise, trauma patterns, and self-protection mechanisms, and gets heard. In this live, I'm exposing the real reason brilliant entrepreneurs stay broke, overwhelmed, or invisible: It's not your strategy. It's not the algorithm. It's the identity you built to survive a world that punished power. We're dismantling the masks… And replacing them with high-trust messaging infrastructure that performs without performing. This isn't mindset coaching. This is identity recalibration, strategic visibility, and collapse-proof positioning for leaders who are DONE playing small.
Send me a text message and get your questions answered on the podcast! I'd love to hear from you! Stop waiting for someone to discover your genius.The painful truth many brilliant women consultants face is that mastering your craft isn't enough when nobody beyond your immediate circle knows about your expertise. You've built a solid reputation, yet somehow the biggest opportunities continue to go to others with half your experience.This visibility gap exists because many of us have been conditioned to play small. Through years of corporate training or societal expectations, we've learned that safety comes from blending in rather than standing out, and breaking through requires strategic discomfort. The modern consulting landscape rewards those who are willing to be visible. Your expertise deserves recognition, your business deserves growth, and your bank account deserves the revenue that comes from claiming your rightful space. What risk will you take this week to increase your visibility? *********Do you want to know Why Don't They See Your Genius?

When a practitioner says to me, “I want to BE more authentic”. What they are usually really saying is, “I want to FEEL more authentic.” They're searching for that ‘click' of powerful internal & external alignment - where how they feel, who they are, and how they show up feels congruent. Energy flows through embodied truth. If we're disconnected from our own truth, we're just repeating someone else's path - not walking our own. Whether in life or in our Reiki practise. After this episode you will have:>>Uncovered how to embodying authenticity beyond intellectual understanding - feeling congruence between your inner truth and lived reality. >> Defined your top 3 personal values to use as a compass enabling you to express yourself in alignment with your authentic personal power.>>A tool to move through indecision or self-questioning in life or practise with more confidence and clarity.>>Explored living and practicing from authentic alignment, where Reiki sessions will feel more grounded, powerful, and uniquely your own - not imitations of others.>>The ability to harness steps to authenticity as a dynamic, evolving practice rather than a fixed endpoint, opening space for continued growth and liberation.Here's my free 1 hour workshop called Lifting the Veil on Reiki: Reclaim your Sovereign Energy Practise Beyond Mainstream Limitations: https://reikiredefined.com/lifting-the-veil-on-reiki/Here is the link to my free online non – guru community, with no hierarchy or all-knowing behaviour, where you'll find a workshop or practical activity supporting you to integrate any truths this episode has unearthed for you, inside Embodied Echoes - After the Pod.

If you've ever been told you're too loud, too confident, too opinionated, or too ambitious—this episode is for you. Hilary's not here to help you soften your edges. She's here to remind you why you grew them in the first place. In this unapologetic episode, she calls out the centuries-old conditioning that taught women to shrink, stay agreeable, and prioritize everyone else's comfort over their own truth. Spoiler: you're not “too much.” You're just too powerful for the people who benefit from you being less. Hilary shares the signs that you've internalized the myth of “too much” and breaks down the shift that happens when you stop minimizing yourself and start standing fully in your power. This episode isn't about being polite. It's about being self-centered—and no, that's not selfish. It's revolutionary. Episode Highlights: How "too much" is just rebranded control Why being self-centered is your power move—not a personality flaw What happens when you stop dimming your light for someone else's comfort 3 shifts you can make today to stop apologizing and start expanding Episode Breakdown: [00:00] The Myth of Being “Too Much” [00:54] Why Women Shrink Themselves to Fit [02:06] The Real Cost of Playing Small [03:42] You're Not Too Much—They're Just Uncomfortable [04:24] What It Really Means to Be Self-Centered [05:28] How to Break Free from People-Pleasing [06:31] Stop Apologizing.

People sometimes use the word “privilege” as an accusation that allows the accuser to feel better than the person they accuse, and even to shame and discredit them. Recently, Dr. Nicole Lepera (@TheHolisticPsychologist) posted an Instagram reel where she pointed out that the ultimate privilege is having a *support system,* and encouraged those of us who grew up neglected to stop comparing ourselves to those who were loved, guided, and helped through life. This is my fourth video in my PLAYING SMALL series, and in it, I talk about why Nicole's video made me cry, and why I now feel more strongly than ever that building a support system is a number one priority to STOP playing small, heal from the past, and build happy lives.

The session focuses on overcoming 'playing small' in careers through boldness and imagination, using examples like Sarah Blakely's cliff-jumping analogy and Jim Carrey's mindset. It emphasized mindset shifts (e.g., 'act as if' principles) over technical skills, with practical applications in leadership, relationships, and health. In this episode, you'll hear: The idea that individuals are not defined by their job, relationships, or careers—allowing them to creatively explore their potential as a 'game' rather than a fixed identity. Mathew's mentor advised him to act 'as if' he were already in a larger market (Washington, D.C.), leading to tangible career advancement—emphasizing mindset shifts over technical skills. Extending the 'act as if' principle to relationships, health, and leadership (e.g., 'Dress for the job you want') to embody desired outcomes proactively. Cortney McDermott, a returning guest and a beloved voice on the show, is an international speaker and TED Talk presenter, Cortney is also a bestselling author. Her latest book, Give Yourself Permission: Be Confident. Be Happy. Be You., is out now.

For many of us, fun is something that became more elusive as we got older. We were so involved in making sure our children and our spouses were doing well, that they were learning and growing and having fun, that our own fun often got put on the back burner. And yet, having fun and engaging in play is an important part of our mental and emotional health and is also super important to our relationships. I recently discovered that I had some work to do around play, and it's helping me to feel more complete, whole and happy. What about you? Where are you at in figuring out fun? Here are some questions to consider: What are you doing, just for you, that is fun? What do you do that energizes you? What are you doing that you lose track of time doing? What are you doing that feels productive and meaningful? If you have a partner, what are you doing with them that is fun? What do the two of you do that energizes you, that feels productive and meaningful, and that you lose track of time doing? How can you add more play into your engagement with your partner? How can you enjoy being with them more? Thanks for listening! Want to learn more about this concept?
