Work From The Inside Out 234: Be Intentional and Make Your Impact Through the Media with Mary O'Donohue
Mary O'Donohue is a media coach whose mission is to elevate the wisdom of women nonfiction authors. She teaches them how to get national publicity and do media interviews that sell books so they can grow their impact and change the world.
Mary never planned on becoming a media coach. She was dedicated to her work for twelve seasons as a Post Producer and Associate Director on The Oprah Winfrey Show, and multiple years prior, with NBC Nightly News, The Today Show, and Meet the Press.
Yet, not all of Mary’s years in television media have been behind the scenes. She is also a #1 bestselling author and parenting expert who has been featured in television, radio, print, and digital media. Her book, When You Say 'Thank You,' Mean It: And 11 Other Lessons for Instilling Lifelong Values In Your Children, made Amazon's top 100 after a media interview.
However, Mary never expected to become a published author. In fact, her early life was filled with so many responsibilities that she had no vision for her future. When she was 11, her beloved grandmother and her father, who was abusive and alcoholic, died just months apart. Her mother went to work teaching at a Catholic school. Mary took over at home with her 3 siblings, cooking, signing permission slips, and fighting the Social Security Administration when checks were delayed. Many observers called her strong, yet Mary was terrified. She found comfort in having some control over the situation. Mary learned to be independent and to fight for what she believed was right.
