You’re Not Starting Over, You’re Starting From Wisdom: The Truth About Pivots and Purpose with Mary Marantz

The Alli Worthington Show

The Uplift app is here! Try it free for 30 days.

Today on Smart Girl Summer, I'm joined by my brilliant and beautiful friend Mary Marantz. She went from Yale Law to full-time photographer to best-selling author—and let me tell you, her story is a masterclass in trusting God with the pivots.

We're talking about how to build a business that means something, what it looks like to rewrite your story while you're still in the middle of it, and why sometimes the door that slams in your face might be the setup for something greater.

Mary is wisdom and warmth wrapped in a gorgeous blonde blowout, and she's here to remind you that your past doesn't disqualify you—it prepares you. If you've been wondering if it's too late to start over or too messy to move forward, pull up a seat. You're in the right place.
