On this episode, Mari Jay discuss and unpack their perspectives after reading The 5 Love Languages® by New York Times bestselling author, Dr. Gary Chapman, Ph.D. How do you show love to and receive love from others? You may be surprised to know that your receptive languages may not always align with your loved ones' expressive languages and vice versa. Not to mention, your primary language may change as you grow and evolve through life. Join us as we share our personal experiences with filling our 'love tank' and communicating our love with both romantic partners and friends.

Dear Self - Ask for what you need to feel loved and appreciated. Fill your cup til it runneth over.

Here we go againnnnn *TikTok voice*. As we get older and inevitably change, so does the nature of our friendships. Mari Jay join the ladies of Diary of a Poorfessional Podcast to discuss maintaining friendships while adulting, especially in our 30s. By now we all agree being "30 something" is a unique and pivotal point in our growth. Each decade or stage of life comes with its own wins or draws so it can be tough to maintain friendships and even tougher to let overgrown situations go. Tune in as we discuss the ebbs and flows of friendship and continue the quest to "know better, do better" in both our friendships and self-care journeys. Specials thanks to Ashley and Marlou for having us on. Make sure to support their platform y'all!! --> https://www.youtube.com/@thepoorfessional4963

Adulting is hard y'all! Inspired by the Michelle Obama REVOLT Conversation, Mari Jay discuss the OGs having open, candid conversations about their personal journeys navigating life, love, purpose and self-worth. Spoiler alert! You won’t have it all figured out in your 30s…or 40s…or maybe even your 50s. After growing up watching sitcoms and movies of women having their ish together, we definitely appreciate this level of honesty. Tune in as Mari Jay absorb various episodes in recent media of adult struggles, facing fears, and finding the light in order to work through life's hiccups and rough waters. Let’s continue pulling back the veil of mystery and having transparent conversations about challenges we’re all going through so younger generations can maybe learn a lesson or two. 

Dear Self- You're worth the risk. Push past your fears and celebrate the other side, growth.

Happy New Year!! And Hello Season 3. After some time off, Mari Jay return ready to discuss where life has taken them and the importance of TLC.

And most importantly the importance to recognize all the little things that make you thrive, especially the parts of the garden left unattended. From major life changes to nurturing the old Mari Jay back to life, tune in for increased self awareness, self care, and "selfish" moments we all need. Is it just us or does mid-30s deserve its own chapter to write?

Dear Self- Tomorrow isn't promised. Am I happy or satisfied with my story to date?

Who remembers Napster & Limewire? The good ol days of making a thoughtful mixed CD to play in your car enjoying the summer breeze and fun with friends.

Join Mari Jay to revisit this period as it also doubled as a major transition into their young adulthood. From college parties to city nightlife to hype brunches, there was a soundtrack for it all. Given recent times endured and are enduring currently, let's take it back to simple days of being outside & good times.
