Welcome back to Let’s Try This Again—I’m your host, B Simone, and in this episode, I’m sitting down with one of my favorite people, a relationship coach and magnetic matchmaker, Spicy Mari, who’s been a constant source of support and inspiration in my life. We get real about what it means to juggle motherhood, marriage, and entrepreneurship, especially when your world gets turned upside down by a new baby. Spicy Mari, who is a mom to a three-year-old, opens up about the beautiful chaos of toddlerhood and how becoming a mother stretched her in ways she never expected—like learning to put her own needs second and giving herself permission to slow down and focus on her child, even when her business was always her “first baby.”
We talk about the challenges of keeping your relationship strong after having a child, and how easy it is to fall into the trap of comparing who’s doing more at home. Mari shares how therapy and honest conversations helped her navigate those tough moments, and why it’s so important to be intentional about filling your own cup, even when your schedule is packed and your energy is low. We also get into the difference between how women and men handle responsibilities—how women often take on more, not just because they have to, but because it matters to us in a way it just doesn’t for men. Whether you’re a mom, dreaming of motherhood, or just trying to keep your relationships healthy and balanced, this episode is packed with relatable stories, practical advice, and a whole lot of heart.
