Have you ever felt underestimated before? When I stop to really think about that I can say, definitely yes I have... but it's mainly MYSELF that this type of judgement is coming. The saying "I'm my own worst critic" is a true statement in my life, maybe it has been in your own too. Whether it's others who are underestimating us or ourselves, it can do a number on our self-esteem and understanding our worth. 

My wonderful friend Mary Marantz is releasing a book NEXT WEEK on this very topic! She has personal experience with being underestimated just like us, only she is on the other side of some of these struggles and is offering us all of the strategies to overcome them! 

Mary is the girl who grew up in a single wide trailer in rural West Virginia, before making her way all the way to the hallowed halls of Yale Law School... only to end up still not feeling like enough. Like she wrote in her first book, Dirt, "What if success is where the real trouble began? What if we get everything we ever wanted, only to find out it still doesn't change a thing about not liking this skin we have to do life in?"

She has spent the last five years figuring out how to separate her worth from her achieving. In other words, figuring out WHO she is apart from WHAT she does. She helps people like us own the muddy parts of our stories and give up achieving for our worth. She is the host of the wildly popular podcast, The Mary Marantz Show, has written multiple bestselling books and has been featured on CNN, Hallmark Home & Family and many more!

Mary is one of those friends who is quirky and fun but can really dig deep and make you think long and hard on subjects that will transform your life. This book, Underestimated, is no different! 

Key Takeaways: 

  • We are the ones who underestimate ourselves most often
  • Fear is a really boring liar & he attacks all of us with the same scripts
  • Because fear is so predictable we can recognize it quickly and be equipped with ways to defeat it
  • When you name the fear, it takes its power away!
  • Over apologizing and people pleasing are part of how we underestimate ourselves
  • Breaking free from this is much more simple than we think!
