And the biggest question of all, how do I OWN my muddy story with bravery, courage, conviction and faith? If you have ever asked yourself these questions, take a deep breath, because you're in the right place. Welcome to the Mary Marantz Show. Where we answer ALL those questions and more! A space to own the muddy parts of your story, build things that matter, and where slow growth always equals strong roots.

You're here and you have scars. You're here and you have dirt in your story. You're here and you're afraid both of those disqualify you before you even start. But you have a place here. Your story already matters. Because one day, when we get to where it is we're going, it won't be despite these scars we bear. It will always be because of them. Slow growth equals Strong roots.

    Title: How to SHOW UP When Fear Says You Don't Belong   Show Notes: In this episode of The Mary Marantz Show, Mary sits down with therapist and bestselling author Dr. Alison Cook to break down what really happens when Fear tells us we don't BELONG.

These wounds can become the filter we see life through until they turn into a currency of confirmation bias: whatever we look for, we find. Mary & Alison go deep right off the bat, talking about parts work, soul ruptures, nervous system regulation, and where our only TRUE secure attachment comes from as they dig into Alison's BRAND NEW book, The Secure Soul. https://amzn.to/4i1yAZ5   In this Episode, you'll hear:   The neuroscience of social rejection and physical pain How childhood wounds continue to influence adult relationships The concept of soul ruptures and inner tears left untended Practicing the breath payer of recognition and return in moments of disconnection The role of divine love in healing attachment wounds Tools for differentiating inner parts and parts work The importance of self-compassion and curiosity Boundaries and knowing when to walk away
