    SHOW UP and Ask the HARD Questions: Why Doubt is Not a Dirty Word with Kendall Mariah

    In this episode of The SHOW UP Season, Mary sits down with author and influencer Kendall Mariah to talk about her brand new book This Little Fire of Mine: How Flickers of Doubt Can Spark a Bolder, Brighter Faith. The two talk about Kendall's journey from a childhood steeped in photography to navigating the complexities of neurodivergence, creativity, and authenticity in the creative industry. She discusses her experiences with Impostor Syndrome, the power of vulnerability in storytelling, and the importance of BOTH faith and doubt in her life… arguing that some of the most important work we'll do- both in our faith and in the world- will be to show up and ask the really hard questions. To that end, Kendall opens up about her adoption journey, the challenges of parenting, and her growing awareness of social justice issues in light of her newfound motherhood.   In this Episode, we'll dig into:   *How neurodivergence influences the way Kendall navigates creativity and "breaking the rules" *Why vulberability, not virality, has BUILT Kendall's platform *The ways in which Impostor Syndrome can resurface even (especially?) after getting everything you wanted *Why "deconstruction" can really mean just taking things apart to understand how they work *All the ways the world tells women to shrink, to "lead the boat, but don't ROCK the boat" *How small moments of hope can help us sit in the refining fire longer (and come out transformed on the other side) … and SO much more!

    How the Law of the Harvest Changes How We SHOW UP

    In this solo episode of The Mary Marantz Show, Mary digs into why it is true that, for most of us, IMPATIENCE kicks in long before CONSISTENCY has a chance to. She does this by breaking down 4 critical rules from The Law of the Harvest (including "you cannot reap what you did not sow")… and what this has to do with celebrating even our SMALLEST wins as a radical act of rebellion against SHAME. Mary encourages listeners to SHOW UP with PATIENCE and keep planting even when nothing is happening, trusting that what is being built in the hidden seasons is necessary to one day hold the harvest. NEW for writers:  The Writing Prompts   In this episode:   The law of the harvest teaches us that we reap what we sow. Patience is essential; we often want immediate results. Shame can prevent us from celebrating our small wins. We should not compare our beginnings to others' successes. The act of showing up is a victory in itself. Growth happens in the unseen moments of our journey. Celebrating small wins can help maintain motivation. The foundation of success is built during the waiting period. Every effort we make contributes to our eventual success. New here? I'm Mary 👋 I'm a bestselling author of three books and host of The Mary Marantz Show Podcast.

    Streaming and the Future of Storytelling in a Distracted World

    In this solo episode of The Mary Marantz Show, Mary sits down to tackle the effects of "streaming" on storytelling in an ever-increasingly DISTRACTED world. Referencing a recent interview where Matt Damon said Netflix asks its creators to recap the plot four or FIVE TIMES throughout a movie because they know audiences are also scrolling on their phones, Mary argues that we have, quite literally, LOST the plot. And that ACCOMODATING distraction is the wrong direction to go. Instead, we as creators (especially writers), need to keep our audience glued to the edge of their seat. And we DO that by making the Reader an ACTIVE Participant. Something Mary goes into in great detail about in her BRAND NEW guide… The MM Writing Prompts!    Brought to you by  The Writing Prompts from the desk of Mary Marantz: https://jmthestore.com/products/the-writing-prompts     In this Episode: *The age of streaming is CHANGING how we tell stories *What we LOSE when we accomodate DISTRACTION *Spoonfeeding your audience diminishes the transfomative work of stortyelling *Why we NEED stories for SURVIVAL and are WIRED to crave them *What "Compression Culture" is robbing us of *True change ONLY happens when we actively ENGAGE with the material *How to QUICKLY make your reader an ACTIVE participant *Distracted work will never be your legacy, DEEP work will *… and SO much more!     Other Links: Lisa Cron - Wired for Story   Compression Culture is Making You Stupid and Uninteresting by Maalvika
