"Each of us have a version of us who has already walked into the room ahead of us, introduced us, and left us uninvited.” Have you ever felt this way? Helpless to outrun or outdo or undo the parts of your story you feel define you? This is Mary's story. Having grown up in a trailer park, Mary is the quintessential, American Dream success story. From rural West Virginia to Harvard Law. But even in her success, achievement slowly shifted from a thing worth celebrating to the thing that kept her running, exhausted, from that old story she longed to escape. This conversation and Mary's latest book, Slow Growth Equals Strong Roots (https://www.amazon.com/Slow-Growth-Equals-Strong-Roots/dp/0800738462), is for anyone who has leaned on achievement, perfectionism, performance, or shapeshifting to try to outrun their past. Mary is brave and honest in sharing her lifelong struggle to escape the endless burden of being and doing more. Her story is an invitation to choose progress over perfection, slow growth over relentless grind, and contentment over control.

There is something about Mary Marantz's story and writing that I just connect so deeply with. Her memoir DIRT was one of my favorite reads of 2021 (listen to our conversation about it here) and she is back on the show to talk about her newest book, Slow Growth Equals Strong Roots, which came out last fall. In this episode, Mary and I talk about striving to be the most put together person in the room in the pursuit of perfection and acceptance, feeling like we need to prove that we deserve whatever success or opportunity we have, and how our little girl selves would be so happy with who we have become. (And how even still we wonder what it would be like if our lives were different.)

We don't like slow growth. We like fast paced, smooth sailing, and abundant growth. We like achievements and we like them NOW. Especially as Christians we are after a certain image to tell the world that we are perfectly put together on behalf of the gospel. But what if growth and sanctification was a slow, gentle process. A steady smoothing out of our edges and flaws being made new by a good, gracious God. Today's conversation with Mary Marantz explores making room for slow growth.

In this episode of the Empower Her Podcast I'm excited to welcome Val Duvick of Val Marlene Creative. Val is a business coach for female creative entrepreneurs and got her start as a small business owner herself. I learned so much from our chat together and know you will too. Key Takeaways Val has tried her hand at a variety of creative careers including floral design, wedding planning, and graphic design. This gives her a unique perspective when coaching creative business clients. Val is passionate about defining individual success. Although many creatives love wedding photography, Val realized it didn't provide the balanced life she wanted. She took a chance on a Facebook ad and took a class to learn how to start her own coaching business. Val encourages you to build a business around your life and uses her Balanced Business Framework as a guide. Success: Clarify and define your OWN vision of success, not what you see on social media. Structure: Have clear and effective systems for prioritizing time, energy, and finances. Strategy: This refers to day to day productivity and growth, but emphasizes putting on your blinders and concentrating on what works for you! Satisfaction includes both client satisfaction AND personal boundaries to prevent burnout. Val lost her Instagram account just days before a big launch! Her community pulled through and it was still a success. Re-building her Instagram has given her a more true audience. Although it was really scary for awhile, she is happy with where she is now. It's a good reminder “not to put all of your eggs in one basket!” Val recommends the book Profit First by Mike Michalowicz and says it made a big impact on sustainable business. Val is currently reading Slow Growth Equals Strong Roots by Mary Marantz and Find Your People by Jennie Allen. Both good picks for finding community! Connect with Val Find Val on her website, follow her blog, or find her on Instagram. Empower Her Summit 2022 Val is attending the Empower Her Summit and I hope you are too!

If approval-seeking, overachieving, and perfectionism has turned into burnout, emptiness, and exhaustion, then today's special “Slow Growth Equals Strong Roots” BOOK LAUNCH episode is for you! Today, the tables have turned as Mary is the GUEST on her own show! That's right, Mary's dear friend, author, and fellow ‘slow growth avenger', Jennifer Dukes Lee takes the role of host today to talk to Mary about her highly anticipated new book that hits shelves TODAY - “Slow Growth Equals Strong Roots: Finding Grace, Freedom, and Purpose in an Over Achieving World.” When gold stars, highlight reels, and seeking the approval of strangers on the internet are not enough, podcast host and bestselling author Mary Marantz gives the woman who feels like she must always be “on” permission to finally stop striving. “Slow Growth” is a love letter to every woman who has tried to run so hard from failure that she stumbled into success. But now, as Mary writes, “she is doubled over at the pain of a lifetime spent proving, this one truth dawning on her with each new day: no matter how hard you run, you can't outrun you.” In her signature lyrical and powerful prose paired with her own stunning photography, Mary combines heartfelt memoir with thoughtful reflection to help women reshape their understanding of worthiness. On today's episode, Mary and Jennifer dive into the heartbeat mantra behind “Slow Growth” – you cannot achieve your way into worth - as they tackle: Why giving up achieving for you worth actually frees you up to go after even bigger goals Why “I'll be happy when ______” is a death sentence to living a life with purpose The importance of implementing a habit of celebration on the way to the goals we set Why we have to part ways with the stories that previously helped us to survive How the Girl in the Red Cape can make peace with the Wolf If you are ready to stop running, realize that you are not in a race with anyone, and truly believe that good things take time - real things take time, and that Slow Growth Equals Strong Roots, then make sure to tune in to today's episode!

In this episode, author Mary Marantz joins Sharon to talk about Mary's new book, Slow Growth Equals Strong Roots. Together, Sharon and Mary touch on important topics like perseverance, education, and extending gentleness to each other and our own selves. Our egos want to keep us safe, but when we continuously operate from a place of safety, taking risks can feel too scary. Ultimately, slow growth equals strong roots means that, when a tipping point day comes in our lives, we have worked hard to grow our character and foundation to meet new challenges with strength and success. Growth and hard work doesn't happen like a movie montage with a good soundtrack, it takes a lifetime. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
My guest this week is my dear friend and incredible human being, Mary Marantz. Mary grew up in a trailer in rural West Virginia. The first of her immediate family to go to college, she went on to earn a master's degree in moral philosophy and a law degree from Yale. After turning down six-figure-salary law firm offers in London and New York and starting a photography business with her husband, Justin—where they were later named one of the prestigious Profoto Legends of Light—they have since gone on to build a successful online education platform for thousands of creative entrepreneurs worldwide. She is the bestselling author of Dirt (Revell, 2020), which was a finalist for the 2020 ECPA Memoir of the Year, and Slow Growth Equals Strong Roots (Revell, 2022). Mary is the host of the highly ranked podcast The Mary Marantz Show, which debuted in the iTunes Top 200, and her work has been featured on CNN, MSN, Business Insider, Bustle, Thrive Global, Southern Living, Hallmark Home & Family, and more. Mary and Justin live in an 1880s fixer-upper by the sea in New Haven, Connecticut, with their two very fluffy golden retrievers, Goodspeed and Atticus. 6:09 – Mary 201 Mary is a return guest to the show, so she gets to give the Mary 201. She is busy creating the work she was created to do and trying to be obedient to the work God asked her to do. 9:12 – Slow Growth Equals Strong Roots Mary released her latest book, Slow Growth Equals Strong Roots. This mantra has been the story of her life, because she was often overlooked. 14:02 – Growing roots When you experience frustration and feel like you're making no progress, just know that you are growing strong roots. 20:33 – Pruning vines in your life I shared a personal story with Mary about my struggles and pruning vines in my life, and it gives her chills. 28:49 – The fruit of hard work Push through the struggles and hard times, and you will enjoy the fruit of your hard work. 33:33 – Trenches and mountaintops Mary wrote her latest book from the trenches, not the mountaintop. We're all chasing other people. We all want approval. 45:34 – Wanting more What if success is where all the trouble begins? If you have all you want, why do you want more? You're probably walking around something you've prayed for your whole life. 1:00 – Get to know you Guilty pleasure? Yellowstone and true crime episodes New career? Interior design FEATURED QUOTES If we choose to be a tree, we not only get to grow up to these dizzying heights over the long haul, but we actually get to last for generations. We don't get to walk among the giants if we're not willing to take our time. This book was written from the trenches, not the mountaintop. We're all chasing other people. We all want approval.

You cannot achieve your way into worth. Full stop. Oh, friends, did you feel the weight of that statement along with me. Be sure to listen in today as Mary and I discuss her soon-to-release (and absolutely beautiful, I might add) devotional, Slow Growth Equals Strong Roots. This is a message that I believe will resonate with so many women. The woman who feels like she must always be "on." The one who is always performing. You know her. Maybe you are her. Mary shares some practical ways to move from achieving, striving, and performing for our worth to the grace, freedom, and purpose that come from knowing our identities and callings are determined by God. Whether you lean toward what Mary describes as the Performer, the Contortionist, the Tight-Rope Walker, the Masquerader, the Illusionist, or all of the above, this is a conversation you won't want to miss out on! Mary Marantz is a speaker, an entrepreneur, plus the bestselling author of Dirt and her soon-to-release book, Slow Growth Equals Strong Roots. She is also the podcast host of The Mary Marantz Show. She lives in an 1880s fixer-upper by the sea in New Haven, Connecticut, with her husband Justin and their two very fluffy golden retrievers, Goodspeed & Atticus. Listen in to learn more about: Signs that you may have an achievement orientation/mentality. How we must release other people's dreams and expectations of us. The filter we walk through life with and how that can affect everything. Favorite quotes: For those of us who did not grow up with a lot, a self-preservationist switch got flipped. It can appear to the outside world as selfish or self-absorption, but we just feel like we are trying to survive. So many of us are walking around -we are ears to dreams that we have never dreamed, hopes that we have never hoped , a crystal plated version of the good life that someone else has held on our behalf. I started treating God like a Pez dispenser, keeping the sugary sweets and the highs of getting everything I ever wanted of more of success coming. Never mind the anemic in my faith, in the process. Never mind that what I actually needed besides a filling is an extraction of all the crap I have tried to fill my life with just so the raw nerve endings go quiet for a while - It never works. Have you ever reached a point where you are starting to get tired of all of this achieving and running and acquiring and accumulating? Then none of the other stuff is going to work.
