I had the pleasure of catching up with Maria Granados this week and she shared a glimpse into her crazy busy life of entrepreneurship, her postpartum journeys, both physically and mentally, and what it's like to be a mom of two, one of which is special-needs. 

Maria talks with us about her current fitness community, her business of teaching other's how to essentially manage their lives effectively and efficiently, and her newest project which is a women's boutique with an added twist of female-empowerment and a way to give back to special needs moms within the St. Louis community. If any quotes comes to mind about Maria, it would be, "Just because she carries it well, doesn't mean it's not heavy"
