In this episode we welcome Mariah Palmer to the podcast!    Mariah owns a custom apparel and design business that believes everyone has the power to design the life they want to live through their clothing, health, home and everything in between. She believes magical things happen when women work together, and works with these women to design life on their terms!   In the episode we share startup stories, personal struggles, and best practices for taking care of yourself while growing a business. I am so inspired by Mariah’s story and her gorgeous designs, and I knew she was the perfect guest for this week’s podcast! Key Takeaways  

• Mariah was able to get her name out by working with a local small shop that agreed to sell her products.  Collaborating with other small businesses helped her network and grow, which is a lesson we can all learn in our businesses.
• When life brought a move, Mariah got a website started to really market her business in a broader way.
• After having a fifth back surgery, Mariah shares that she found herself in a dark place. She worked through her mental health struggles by going to counseling, and through working with a therapist, she was able to discover Mariah again along with MPrint. 
• “Know when to say no,” Mariah advises. She is a huge advocate of boundaries in her life and you may even see that messaging cropping up in some of her MPrint designs. Mariah also advocates for connecting with other small business owners along the journey of entrepreneurship. 
• To make self care a priority (boundaries, remember?) Mariah has incorporated many practices and habits into her life including going for walks, regular counseling sessions, and using sage in her home to clean up the energy. 
• “I’ve found my tribe with these other entrepreneurs,” Mariah credits working with other women for helping MPrint grow into the brand and business it is today.
• “I just want to keep inspiring women to be authentically themselves.”
