If you’ve ever felt like you’re behind, not enough, or waiting on someone to give you permission—this episode of The Trailblazer Talks will speak straight to your heart.
Author and speaker Mary Marantz joins Courtney for a conversation rooted in honesty, encouragement, and hope. They unpack Mary’s newest book, Underestimated, and talk about what really holds us back from walking fully in what God has called us to.
From perfectionism and people-pleasing to fear and procrastination, Mary shares practical wisdom on building self-trust, letting go of old narratives, and starting small—even when the world underestimates you.
