Introducing Mari & MJ

We're Mari and MJ—partners, professionals, and two women who believe that healthy love is built, not found. Before we became a couple, we spent time getting to know each other as friends, and like many relationships, ours has been shaped by heartbreak, healing, growth, and choosing each other over and over again.

Together, we bring more than 30 years of combined experience in mental health and wellness, blending professional insight with real-life experience to have honest conversations about love between women. We're travelers, avid cyclists, creatives, and lifelong learners who have overcome trauma and life's unexpected detours to build a relationship we're proud of.

We can't promise to help you avoid every mistake, but we hope our conversations, experiences, and professional insight help you navigate your own journey with more confidence, more compassion, and a lot more joy.

We made all the mistakes, so you don’t have to.

The Show

Real Talk. Real Love. Real Life.

Welcome to The Mari Loves MJ Show—where love between women gets the conversation it deserves. Around here, nothing is off limits (well...almost). We'll laugh, unpack the hard stuff, spill a little tea, celebrate the wins, survive the red flags, and remind each other that healthy love is a journey, not a destination. Inspired by questions from our clients, friends, family, and viewers, we dive into everything from first dates and U-Hauling to communication, commitment, healing, and the beautifully messy reality of building a life together. Whether you're questioning, dating, deeply committed, or simply cheering on the sapphic community, you're always welcome at our table. And because life isn't all relationship talk, we'll also take you along as two New York women making Atlanta home—finding great food, reviewing queer films, hopping on our bikes, collecting passport stamps, and discovering joy wherever we can find it.
