Recently, I experienced a moment that deeply resonated with me and reinforced the very essence of our mission and why I do what I do.

I was approached by a woman, her eyes filled with a mix of admiration and reflection. She was in her late 40s to early 50s, and her words struck a chord in my heart…

When Stephen and I sent out our save-the-dates, the excitement was palpable.

Friends and family eagerly marked their calendars, and the future seemed set in stone.

But life, as it often does, threw us a curveball. Just when we thought we were on a clear path to marriage, Stephen made the unilateral decision to call off our wedding…

At Rainmakers, Stephen and I have always held a steadfast belief: mamas can create a business that they own, one that provides them with both purpose and profit. Our mission is to empower mothers to take control of their financial destinies, to build legacies, and to find the freedom to raise the next generation of world-changers.

This week has been a whirlwind of emotions, challenges, and growth. As many of you know, my little Kaizen is currently 3.5! And with that milestone, he’s entered a phase of exploration, curiosity, and, yes, boundary testing. It’s been a week of him pushing limits and me trying to find the balance between guiding him and letting him discover the world in his own unique way.

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of daily life. We often forget to pause and cherish the fleeting moments that make life truly special. As a mother, entrepreneur, and legacy builder, I’ve come to realize the profound importance of capturing memories, especially with our children.

Travel has always been a transformative experience for me. It’s not just about the places we visit but the memories we create, the perspectives we gain, and the legacies we build. Our recent journey from the bustling streets of London to the tranquil beauty of Portugal was no exception.

No shame, we have all been there at some point.

As a mom and a businesswoman, it can be easy to get caught up in negative thoughts and self-doubt. But we’ve got some good news for you – you don’t have to live with those thoughts holding you back anymore!

On today’s episode, we’re delighted to bring you an inspiring story of grit, resilience, and determination. Our guest, Mary Marantz, has a journey that will leave you in awe and filled with motivation.
