Pedro Pascal, Zac Efron, Bob Marley - does Nadya actually have a type? In this episode, the ladies catch up over what they've been up to and for the first time ever we hear our first Mature story for the Manic or Mature Marie segment, but of course not everything lasts forever, am I right? The story takes a quick detour with a pet peeve rant related to her (Mature) story. The ladies then catch up over lots of entertainment from Broadway shows, concerts of iconic 70s and 80s performers and Marie hosting a film festival's Opening Night.

Then, they dive right into the conversation about what life in your 20s vs 30s is like covering areas such as career, your sense of self, lifestyle, health, dating, friendships and other interpersonal relationships. M&N also share a few things they have learned from each specific decade and what they want to take into the next.

The episode ends with Nadya's Nomnoms where we hear about a New York slice/pie in the West Village perfect for groups, dates or sitting by yourself at the bar. Since good things come in threes, this pizza recommendation turns into a triple Nomnom rec - perfect if you're feeling extra gluttonous! Tune in to find out more!

Press play! We’re back in business now that Marie is off vocal rest. Nadya jumps right in with a “Neurotic or Normal Nadya” story about another subway scenario (for the Episode 1 OG’s, you know what we mean!) where an unlikely person gives unsolicited financial planning and credit card advice. Then, the ladies tackle the topic of early dating anxiety. No matter the age or gender, we’ve all been there so this is your sign to be kind to yourself. They talk about some signs and reasons for this type of anxiety and how to best handle it. The episode ends with a classic American comfort meal for “Marie’s Munchies” from a specifically New York born institution. Sorry, Californians. We’d like to say we take the trophy for this one.

Missing! Have you seen Marie’s voice? Last seen and heard in the Hamptons. M&N sit down to to chat after spending the weekend with their respective girl friends who are coincidentally both visiting from California. Nadya had a relaxing time in Long Beach Island New Jersey, in truer slow girl summer style. Marie was out east jumping from deep conversations at the bar to sounding like Mickey Mouse the next day. Her Manic and Mature Marie story this week is centered on this.

In this episode, they talk about bad habits, how they are formed, get candid about what their own personal bad habits are, what they want to work on and how to change said habits.

The episode ends with Nadya’s Nomnoms where we hear about a healthier alternative to your classic Doritos and Lays. Yum!

In this episode, M&N shed some literal skin on all things acne, psoriasis and eczema. They start the episode with a Normal or Neurotic Nadya story about N’s recent travels where she was planning on staying clean at the airport but instead got very, let’s just say, very… dirty.

Then, they talk about all the pressures that come with living in an era where cosmetically perfect skin is the gold standard. (Thanks, Kardashian / Jenners.) They take turns in sharing their own personal insecurities and journeys – Marie with acne, Nadya with eczema and psoriasis. They have a conversation sharing tips, laughs and things they’ve learned throughout the years having to still deal with these issues and diseases as adults. Some tears were definitely shed.

The episode ends with Marie’s Munchies where we get a fuzzy full circle moment and special rec about an intimate 20-seat Michelin-starred gem located on a beautiful tree-lined, cobblestone block in the heart of the charming Brooklyn Heights Historic District.

Summer is in full swing and so is this episode! M&N start with a Manic or Mature Marie story about messed up eyebrows and being mistaken as an employee somewhere. The ladies dive into discussing the hashtag #SlowGirlSummer that has been popularized on the internet. They talk about their willing participation in this summer mindset while delving into the differences of other summers we’ve come to know like Hot Girl Summer and Feral Girl Summer (Nadya seems excited about this one). Then, they emphasize personal lists and ideas on having a Slow Girl Summer like basking in the little joys, taking time for self-care, finding peace in a more balanced meaningful life through slowing down, embracing change, connecting with nature and doing less especially in a workaholic crazed city like NYC. Marie is excited about an unconventional and special picnic she’s hosting for a friend’s recent life transition. The episode ends with a gelato shop rec for Nadya’s Nomnoms. It’s summer and it only makes sense trying 150 flavors of ice cream, right? Happy Fourth of July weekend and here’s to immersing yourself in the present moment of this podcast and the rest of your (slow girl) summer!

M&N are jumping right into the second episode, kicking off with a “Normal or Neurotic Nadya” story where dealing with the neighbors on trash collection day can make one pooped out.

Then, they talk about why friendship breakups can be more distressing than romantic breakups. They dive into the reasons why one might consider breaking up with a friend, what the stages of breaking up are and how to heal or recover from it, and the possibilities of a reconciliation in the future.

The episode ends with “Marie’s Munchies” where we hear about an umami rich condiment that makes everything you cook and taste ten times better. You might consider adding it as a staple in your pantry!

Marie and Nadya welcome you to the very first episode of Can You Talk?, where they are taking on what it means to be multiracial and the complexities that come with it such as being called exotic. Yes, like a bird.

First, they start by catching up with a game of "Normal or Neurotic Nadya" / "Mature or Manic Marie" where they weigh in on a personal story of how we can all have a sense of humor when our anxiety manifests itself even in the most inconvenient places like public transport.

Bonjour! Hello! Ni Hao! Kamusta! Namaste! Then, they talk about life in New York, the Philippines, France, Hong Kong, India and London, and all the nuances of their mixed race experiences.

Finally, the episode ends with "Nadya’s Nomnoms" and "Marie’s Munchies" where we hear our first delicious and chic West Village food rec. Is French Toast actually French? Someone answer Marie please. Sacrébleu!
