The concept of surrender and loss of control are universally viewed as negative. However, if one surrenders to the loss of control, giving the “it” of a situation’s negatives up to the universe, one’s higher power, or simply to time, surrender can offer life-changing opportunities for dynamic growth and change. Mary Fran Bontempo is a speaker, author, and humorist who teaches audiences to control their most powerful influence: Self-Talk. Author of The Woman’s Book of Dirty Words, and Not Ready for Granny Panties-The 11 Commandments for Avoiding Granny Panties, Mary Fran proves small changes in self-talk yield big life changes, allowing individuals to be positive, productive and successful in a rapidly changing world.
A Huffington Post and Thrive Global contributor, and syndicated columnist for multiple online platforms, Mary Fran inspires and motivates readers and listeners to tame the self-talk beast. After thirty years’ experience as owner of a full-service recruiting firm and finding herself in the middle of a perfect life storm-turning 50, a crashing economy, and most devastating, a son battling heroin addiction-Mary Fran created the blog, Not Ready for Granny Panties, evolving as a motivational speaker and program leader. She is also a founder of the business/life podcast, 4 Chicks Chatting. A frequent media guest and speaker, audiences delight in her empowering and entertaining message.
