Taking the First Step: Why Change Feels So Impossible

What’s holding you back from taking that first step? This week, Sarah sits down with bestselling author and speaker Mary Marantz to explore why we often feel stuck waiting for motivation, certainty, or confidence that never seems to come. Mary knows this struggle firsthand. She grew up in a trailer in rural West Virginia, far from the life she dreamed of, but step by step, she built a future beyond what she imagined.

In this conversation, Mary shares how she moved forward without feeling ready, without knowing the whole plan, and without waiting for confidence to magically appear. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to finally take action in your own life, you’ve got it now.
