In this solo episode of The Mary Marantz Show, Mary talks about why one of Fear's favorite scripts is "What if ALL of this is just a WASTE of time?"
She explains that one of the most BRUTAL things about being an adult is that we start to develop this muscle memory for disappointment. We've been here before. We've tried that before. And it didn't work out. And how that instant sting of "let down" can turn into a chronic case of "give up" if we're not careful.
Connecting the dots between a viral post of hers that said "None of this will be wasted" and the new Rachel McAdams movie "Send Help," Mary sets out to show us how some of our greatest disappointments can immediately precede some of our biggest breakthroughs. And that us continuing to SHOW UP, even here in the wilderness, may very well become someone else's survival guide.
