The Mary Marantz Show


Aug 3, 2021

Are you looking at the pieces of your life and losing hope that they can be put back together again? Perhaps your heart has been broken, your dream has been put on hold, or your character is being put under pressure.

If you can relate, then you are guaranteed to feel seen and understood after listening to today’s episode!

Today, Mary is joined by former Bachelorette reality star, podcast host, designer, and author of the brand new book, “The Road to Roses: Heartbreak, Hope, and Finding Strength When Life Doesn't Go as Planned” - Desiree Siegfried! When Desiree was offered the opportunity to star on The Bachelorette, she thought she was finally getting the life she always longed for. Yet her reality TV dreams gave way to rough roads of unexpected twists, public scrutiny, and rejection. Now Desiree reveals in her rivetingly honest book how she found her resilience and love after all--and how you can, too.

On today’s episode, Mary and Desiree dive into Desiree’s story before life as a reality star; discuss their similar upbringings and how old wounds from childhood left unaddressed can affect our decision-making as adults; and talk about what it truly looks like to put your identity in Christ while letting go of limiting beliefs and comfortable (yet, unhealthy) decision-making.

After listening, you will be equipped with an authentic guide for finding your grit and courage to keep going no matter what you are facing; feel empowered to stay true to yourself despite external pressures and old wounds; and most importantly, find hope in the identity of Christ trusting that God loves you just as you are.


If you are ready to pick up the pieces of your life, jumpstart your dreams, or begin living true to yourself, you will not want to miss today’s empowering episode!
