Her process for taking inventory of her career and checking in with herself
How she sets boundaries and says “no”
Her journey launching Summer Fridays
How to actually reduce your screen time and mend your relationship with social media
On Timelines
Marianna: I think you also just have to be comfortable knowing everyone's timeline is really different. And ask yourself, “Do I actually want this thing for me and for myself right now? Is this what I want or am I just doing this because I think this is what I'm supposed to do?” =
On Boundaries with Social Media
Marianna: If you find yourself looking at social and looking at these pictures, or scrolling on Pinterest, and what you're looking at makes you feel worse instead of better…and it's making you feel anxious then maybe it's okay to mute somebody. It's okay to say, you know,
looking at these types of pictures and content really isn't serving me and helping me right now. So I'm just going to mute this person while they're in this phase of sharing this type of content. I can love them from afar. And I'm just going to have this boundary with myself that I don't feel pressured for these certain things.
On Building Summer Fridays
Marianna: It's about building a team of people around you who are smarter than you, who can help you, who can help bring your vision to life and really giving them the autonomy to do their jobs and trusting them with your baby. And it was hard at first when we started growing to let go of a few things. And then now that I have, I'm like, “Wow, they're doing these things so much better than I could have ever done.”
