One thing that I love about Mariah is that she fearlessly jumped into entrepreneurship after completing only one semester of college. College isn't necessarily the only pathway to being an entrepreneur. Mariah has always known that she wanted to work for herself and she became interested in coding at an early age.

As women, we're often searching for that elusive idea of work-life balance, especially as creative entrepreneurs. Our work life can so easily start to creep into our family life and it's important to set those boundaries.

I love what Kari says about this idea of work-life balance. In fact, she comes right out and says she thinks there's no such thing as work-life balance. Priorities can shift and change over time and it's ok if work and life aren't necessarily equal. "Everything ebbs and flows" she says and she tries to find a rhythm to feel most comfortable with her business and her home life. Sometimes finding that rhythm means saying no to jobs that we might really want to do if they don't fit into the rhythm we've established.
