Doing Business with a Servant's Heart
When Authenticity Meets Leadership
What happens when life deals you a crushing blow before you’re even old enough to understand it? For Mara, the loss of her father at six years old was the spark that shaped a lifetime of courage, tenacity, and a relentless commitment to serve. Raised by an unconventional, fiercely supportive mother, Mara learned early how to get comfortable with discomfort. From the heartbreak of watching dreams of law school collapse to fighting for her place in a male-dominated insurance industry, Mara built an empire rooted in heart, resilience, and authenticity.
In this conversation, you’ll meet Mara not just as a businesswoman but as a daughter, a mother, a leader, and a mentor. You’ll feel the grit in her mother’s voice telling her to get up one more time. You’ll hear the laughter behind her vulnerability as she shows up disheveled, determined, and real. You’ll picture the moment she cheered on an agent’s engagement in their own living room, because she believes in serving with her team, not above them.
This is the story of a woman who learned to strip away the labels, embrace her power, and pour into others with unwavering authenticity. If you’ve ever doubted yourself, if you’ve ever juggled motherhood and business while wondering if you were failing at both, Mara’s words will heal you. Her voice is a call to action — to give back, to lead with humility, to stand in your truth, and to build a legacy of love and boldness for the next generation.
Take a breath. Lean into the discomfort. Let Mara remind you what a servant’s heart really looks like. Then, go be that for someone else.
