050. Growing Strong Roots in What Makes the Broken Beautiful

I made a new friend when I hopped on Zoom to record with Mary Marantz to discuss her new memoir Dirt: Growing Strong Roots in What Makes the Broken Beautiful. 

Mary is a Yale Law School graduate and the first in her immediate family to go to college. She is the author of the book “Dirt” about growing up in West Virginia, and the host of The Mary Marantz Show- which debuted in the iTunes top 200 podcast list.  Her writing has been featured by Business Insider, Thrive Global, MSN, Bustle, Southern Living, and Brit+Co.

• Why THIS was the first message you felt you needed to bring into the world
• Her journey from a single-wide trailer in the mountains of rural West Virginia to the halls of Yale Law School
• Learning to take a look at the places where we START (aka the trailer park she grew up in) and how we begin there to see how God makes the broken beautiful
• Encouragement for the reader who feels broken and disqualified because of past scars
• How struggle became the redemption song God used to write a life you never dreamed of
• How to dig in instead of give up in this hard season we find ourselves in
• The best piece of advice she's ever been given
