This week, Matchmaker Maria is joined by her hilarious and heartfelt co-host for the month, comedian Joyelle Nicole Johnson! They dive deep into what it really means to love someone, and how therapy, timelines, and choosing your own adventure can all be ways to say “I love you.”
Joyelle shares the origin story of her relationship, from getting set up by none other than Ilana Glazer (yes, that Ilana!) to navigating early pandemic dating, moving in together, and discussing major life decisions like marriage and kids. Along the way, she and Maria get candid about why therapy isn't just for crises, how evolving your mindset can shift your relationship expectations, and why the 12-date rule is more of a guide than gospel.
If you’ve ever wondered when to talk about kids, how to define a partner, or how much your wedding really matters this episode’s got the real talk and laughs you need.
