As women, we deserve to be able to follow our dreams and pursue our passions. This week, episode 73 of The Jen Marples Show is about Going For What You Want with actress Mara Marini!

Mara Marini is a Canadian actress best known for her role as Brandi Maxxxx in the NBC comedy series Parks & Recreation. She has guest starred on Netflix’s Schitt’s Creek, ABC’s black-ish, among other credits, and co-wrote and co-starred in the short film, A Play, starring Jane Lynch, which won her best actress, best writing, and other accolades. She is a fitness enthusiast and momager to her celebrity dog, Coconut. She also co-wrote and stars in Exties - a sex comedy about exes who are now best friends. Mara is also passionate about helping others and has an e-commerce business focusing on a clinical product line in the anti-aging space with a non-toxic mission.

  • How Mara’s wellness brand came to fruition. 
  • The importance of having grit and a thick skin in the entertainment industry. 
  • Mara’s advice for anyone considering entrepreneurship. 
  • Men’s experiences in the entertainment industry vs. women’s experiences.
