<p><span>Welcome to the 300th episode of </span>The Crystal Paine Show<span>, everyone, and I have a truly insightful episode to share with you in celebration! Joining me this week is </span><a href="https://marymarantz.com/" rel="nofollow">Mary Marantz</a><span>, author of several books including her newest, </span><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Underestimated-Surprisingly-Simple-Playing-Forward/dp/B0F3BMB2Y3/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1WHYG0AIBXFKW&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.MhjNVjTwVxcTn7ljkC1-TzH7S1s779D88tbzybfYnXIOEt9nHRVGRwlePkTkiHTQoiqqx03tLUWnjXKt8QDl57BAqAxRXcjWc4wg9ODNIfU2fu6ZGTfyRqz_q0w3XUSYa8qSc9XqXy7-mHt8ZJTx36NTs-_MFokYndp4JYfQqCBn9ENQoShObUjH9_AXh2hX.tmOdawpV186YQSADWrZ9orkiXBlWGHsUOO6PZct6mDY&dib_tag=se&keywords=mary+marantz&qid=1745199514&sprefix=mary+marantz%2Caps%2C119&sr=8-1" rel="nofollow">Underestimated: The Surprisingly Simple Shift to Quit Playing Small, Name the Fear, and Move Forward Anyway</a><span>. This conversation is truly a raw, honest, and deeply personal one, and in </span>Underestimated<span>, Mary explores how to stop playing small and move past the fear that holds us back, a message that resonated so much with me as I read the book.</span></p><p><span>We talk about how Mary's childhood in a rundown trailer in rural West Virginia shaped her journey, including how she overcame immense insecurity and the fear of failure, only to find herself still grappling with feelings of inadequacy after achieving what seemed like the pinnacle of success. You’ll hear about her struggles with perfectionism, how she used it as a way to prove herself, and how she’s learning to let go of that.</span></p><p><span>Mary’s openness about her own fears, especially about being unlovable after succeeding, really reminds me of how many of us operate with a constant fear of rejection. I reflect on my own experiences growing up, feeling overshadowed by family members who seemed to have it all together, but via Mary’s story, I have truly learned that even when we feel like underdogs, there is real power in embracing the journey and acknowledging our vulnerabilities!</span></p><p><span>This episode of the show is a beautiful reminder that we don’t have to be perfect to matter, that we can let go of the armor that we wear and start showing up authentically, trusting that our worth isn’t defined by how small we started or how much we have accomplished. Listen in for an empowering conversation about stepping into who we are meant to be, even when it feels scary, and be sure to grab a copy of Mary's new book!</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>In This Episode</span></p><p><span>[0:35] -

Hear how Mary initially doubted her worth compared to others' privilege.</span></p><p><span>[15:02] - Mary used perfectionism as an armor, trying to prove her worth after her mother's abandonment.</span></p><p><span>[18:35] - In striving to need no one, Mary ended up becoming isolated and heartbroken by her walls.</span></p><p><span>[20:40] - Fear of failure can come from the pressure to always be the one who comes through.</span></p><p><span>[23:07] - Mary asserts that those who lack true passion aren't afraid, but creatives fear whether their work will matter.</span></p><p><span>[25:13] - Naming fear’s predictable patterns weakens its power!</span></p><p><span>[28:03] -

<p><span>Jesse and I are back in the studio this week to talk all about raising financially confident teens, I have personally seen firsthand how a few key mindset shifts can totally change the game, not just for them but for the entire family dynamic, and we are unpacking five powerful money mindsets that can shape your teen’s relationship with money in ways that last far beyond high school! These aren’t just fluffy theories or one-size-fits-all strategies. We’re talking about practical shifts - some that may even challenge how </span>you<span> think about money!</span></p><p><span>Tune in as I get into why a $20 hoodie doesn’t actually cost $20 (and how that concept can seriously shift your teen’s thinking), why giving your kid everything might actually rob them of future success, and how the most valuable lessons often come from small mistakes. We also take a look at why compound interest isn’t just a boring math concept but one of the most exciting opportunities your teen can tap into if they understand it early enough.</span></p><p><span>Jesse and I explore how creativity and contentment can become your teen’s financial superpowers and how you can help them develop those strengths without a single lecture. I’m also sharing a brand-new resource called </span><a href="https://products.crystalpaine.com/store/" rel="nofollow">The One Hour Budget for Teens</a><span>, along with a </span><a href="https://gr161.infusionsoft.app/app/form/process/4ee9175f1757727b95785554154bfcea?cookieUUID=822b1323-9cd6-42dd-973c-ab136cad8b07" rel="nofollow">freebie</a><span> packed with 15 essential financial skills every teen should know, so if you have ever wondered how to raise a teen who is smart with money and not just good at spending it, then this episode is definitely for you!</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>In This Episode</span></p><p><span>[0:35] - Jesse and I are discussing talking to kids early about money, building lasting habits.</span></p><p><span>[3:25] - Teaching kids to earn purchases shows them that money equals effort and thoughtful decisions.</span></p><p><span>[5:33] - Jesse argues that teens shouldn't be taught to equate money solely with hours worked.</span></p><p><span>[6:37] - It's important to show kids the value of long-term gains by discussing investments and risk vs. reward.</span></p><p><span>[9:06] - I add that living below your means sets teens up for financial independence and effective budgeting.</span></p><p><span>[12:41] - Jesse points out that failures are learning opportunities that often teach us more than successes do.</span></p><p><span>[13:13] - I encourage allowing kids to make financial mistakes because they’ll gain lasting wisdom from the experience.</span></p><p><span>[16:04] - I warn about online scams and introduce a fun, teen-friendly budgeting guide.</span></p><p><span>[19:07] - Initiate financial talks with teens via shared activities and honest but non-judgmental conversations.</span></p><p><span>[22:53] - I argue that excuses only delay progress, so start managing what you have now, even if it’s only $30.</span></p><p><span>[25:37] - Contentment now is key to lasting financial peace and success.</span></p><p><span>[28:32] - Removing screen time and ads has helped our son become more motivated to earn.</span></p><p><span>[30:11] - I have realized that buying more can’t fix deeper issues that only contentment can address.</span></p><p><span>[33:42] - Go to my </span><a href="https://products.crystalpaine.com/store/" rel="nofollow">store</a><span> to download The One-Hour Budget for Teens, using the code TEENS at checkout!</span></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><span>Links & Resources</span></p><p><a href="http://crystalpaine.com/" rel="nofollow">Crystal Paine</a></p><p><a href="https://gr161.infusionsoft.app/app/form/process/4ee9175f1757727b95785554154bfcea?cookieUUID=822b1323-9cd6-42dd-973c-ab136cad8b07" rel="nofollow">15 Financial Skills for Teens Freebie</a></p><p><a href="https://products.crystalpaine.com/store/" rel="nofollow">The One-Hour Budget for Teens</a><span> (Use code TEENS at checkout!)</span></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><span>Social Media</span></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/themoneysavingmom/?hl=en" rel="nofollow">Crystal Paine on Instagram (@moneysavingmom)</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/crystaliscleaning/" rel="nofollow">Crystal Paine on Instagram (@crystaliscleaning)</a></p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/crystal-paine-628b8681/" rel="nofollow">Crystal Paine on LinkedIn</a></p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/MoneySavingMom?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor" rel="nofollow">Crystal Paine on Twitter</a></p><p><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/27859695-crystal-paine" rel="nofollow">Crystal Paine on Goodreads</a></p><p><a href="https://moneysavingmom.com/" rel="nofollow">Money Saving Mom</a></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/MoneySavingMom/" rel="nofollow">Money Saving Mom on Facebook</a></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/2123983637929454/" rel="nofollow">Money Saving Mom Deal Seekers Facebook group</a></p><p><a href="mailto:[email protected]" rel="nofollow">[email protected]</a></p><p><br></p><br/><br/>Our Sponsors:<br/>* Check out Armoire and use my code CRYSTAL for a great deal: https://www.armoire.style<br/>* Check out Armoire: https://armoire.style/CRYSTAL<br/>* Check out Glorify: https://glorify-app.com/crystal<br/>* Check out IXL and use my code TODAY for a great deal: https://www.ixl.com<br/><br/><br/>Advertising Inquiries: <a href='https://redcircle.com/brands'>https://redcircle.com/brands</a>
