S1 E.19 The Finale
In this Episode
Today’s episode marks the end of Season 1! WOW, it went so fast. Thank you to everyone who has been tuning in week after week, we love you!
Mariah and Adriana start off by talking about their dynamic. Adriana considers Mariah as her little sister and sidekick. Yes, you all have seen the roasts and jokes, but they all come from a place of love. They are always telling each other “you have NO business thinking that negative thought about yourself.” Adriana openly admits that she needs to work on her patience…maybe in Season 2.
Now, we touch on the origin of the Nice Girl Gang. Mariah and Adriana did not create this concept thinking that they are the nicest people, but instead to reinvent what the word “nice” really means. You can still spread kindness and roast your friends – exhibit A: Adriana and Mariah! We’re all about infringing on the space that negativity holds and finding new ways to communicate with those you love.
“Raw, real, and a breath of fresh air”, “love how they cover business and life”, “do it scared, do it anyway”...these are some of your glowing reviews of Season 1! We are so happy that you enjoyed these conversations as much as we did. This podcast is a side hustle, and it has not only deepened friendships, but it has introduced us (and you!) to incredible female trailblazers in various industries.
Adriana talks about her viewpoint on the controversial term, girlboss. She recalls times that she was viewed negatively because she isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty and vocalize her thoughts. While female founders are becoming more prominent, there is still so much work to be done. Many minority owned businesses do not receive startup funding. This runs deep for all gender identifications.
We wrap up today’s episode talking about friendships. . Adriana mentions that she strives to put energy into her responses - it will never be a “double tap,” there is always a response. Mariah reminds us all to check in on that strong friend – ask them how their day was, respect their time and schedule, and take the initiative.
Especially in these unprecedented times, we are able to sift out real vs. surface friendships. For example, as you know, Adriana has been struggling with infertility. While coping with this, she has stepped back into her shell more. However, her real friends can knock that shell down and offer support. Her biggest advice is to think of all of your friends and evaluate the value they provide.
As we progress in this “new normal,” allow yourself to feel things, glow through them, keep yourself safe, and accept that some people live on a completely different planet (LOL).
We are so excited for the future of this podcast - if you have any suggestions, comments, or questions, slide into our DMs! See you in Season 2!
