S2 E.5 Q&A Crowdsourced questions from our listeners!
In this EpisodeIn this episode, Adriana and Mariah answer your burning questions! The dynamic duo provides insight on career advice, relationships, body image, and everything in between!
Today’s episode starts with career advice and finding your passion. Many of us wonder how to balance our passion projects along with a full time job. In true Adriana fashion, she says to just DO IT! If you are deeply passionate about something, even if it is dancing at Bar/Bat Mitzvahs like Mariah, make time for it. Transparently, it may not always be an even balance, but prioritizing your happiness is so important.
This leads us into our next topic – your first job after college. This can feel really overwhelming, almost like whatever you do has to be your forever career and final destination. This is not the case at all! RIght when you get out of college, experiment. Become educated on what you enjoy and what you don’t. Getting to that final destination in your career can come much later. ANY form of experience is valuable during this time.
Mariah also offers some insight on feeling fulfilled in your job. In today’s world, we tend to compare and contrast our circumstances to everyone else’s. What we see online is NOT a reality–the reality is that you can just have a job, get your coin, go home, and feel fulfilled in other areas, like your hobbies or passion projects. Never make a decision based on Instagram or someone else’s life. Chances are, they are only showing a highlight reel of their days.
On the topic of passion, Adriana tells us what hers are outside of Little Words Project. She loves her family, reading, thrifting, and making any space lovely without breaking the bank. A good sale = happy Adriana!
Now, we dive deep into all things relationships…if he says he’s not hooking up with other people, is he lying? Mariah instantly says yes (lol), but Adriana says that you have to TRUST. Don’t bring your fears and anxieties from past relationships into your current one. And, if you find something out later on and it leads to a breakup (which we hope it doesn’t!), remember that it doesn’t define you. You are still the amazing person you were before the relationship. Their loss!
Adriana talks about pregnancy and maternity leave. Although her journey was a long one, she has a sense of gratitude that it didn’t happen right away. She feels ready to take a step back from LWP and allow her incredible team to take over while she welcomes and spends time with her baby boy! As a business owner, you are constantly pouring your heart and soul into everything you do, and you work for the company. Adriana is ready to shift and start letting the company work for HER.
We end today’s episode talking about body image, something that lots of us struggle with. Adriana’s biggest advice is to tell yourself you love yourself in the mirror. Mariah chimes in saying that it is also okay to clown yourself on a bad day – the most important part is establishing your boundaries. If you don’t want to be roasted at work or by your friends, vocalize that!
We hope this episode brings you some healthy comedic fun, and we’ll catch you next time!
