- ABOUT US -
Shay & Mariah
We’re The humans behind the mic @ Curiously Guided
And our love language is having deep, meaningful, transparent conversations, with each other &with our guests.
Let’s Start pulling back the curtain…
Our Vision for the Curiously Guided Podcast:
We’re just trying to round up people like us; people that want to use their skills, their gifts, their talents, and their genius to change lives & impact this world in a way that only they can. The people that want to make money doing the shit they love in a way that FEELS GOOD, grounded, and fulfilling.
Here at Curiously Guided, we want to be a space of transparency, inspiration, and motivation to do life differently; do it your way, whether it looks messy or weird, or random. WHO CARES. No path looks the same. And we want to be a space that honors, celebrates, and shares that.
We see this podcast as everything that people won’t share on Instagram. We don’t give AF about the highlight reels. We love getting in the weeds, asking the tough questions, and doing the work while committing to ourselves & our personal growth. Because only through that lens can we truly create an aligned business, career, and lifestyle that feels good from the inside out.
About Mariah
SEO Strategist | Intuitive Marketing Expert
Hiya, I’m Mariah! I’m an SEO visibility strategist and Intuitive Marketing Expert for online business owners over at MariahMagazine.com. I'm a firm believer that showing up on Google, increasing your visibility, and growing your business doesn't have to be as difficult & overwhelming as everyone makes it.
That’s why I focus a lot on practical strategies like SEO and collaborative marketing. Because of their longer shelf life compared to only relying on fast-moving platforms like Instagram to get noticed.
I’ve been in the online business world since 2015, starting off as a website designer & developer, but then quickly realized my true love; SEO (weird, I know). This whole “owning a business thing” to me, is just an invitation to follow the nudge, share my gifts, and enjoy the journey of connecting & serving my people.
About Shay
Brand Strategist | Coach | Sales Consultant
Shay here! I'm a sales consultant and coach with almost two decades of experience helping thought leaders and creators build profitable businesses online.
I started my career as a strategic planner, coordinating multi-billion dollar infrastructure investments in my midwestern hometown. Although the work was interesting, I quickly realized the traditional 9-5 life was not for me.
So after side-hustling online for years, I took my online business dreams full-time and co-founded a brand consultancy, Free the Robot Creative in 2017.
Since going out on my own, I've helped hundreds of clients grow their own online businesses, traveled to 20+ countries working remotely, started this podcast, and discovered a passion for teaching non-sales-y people how to sell more.
How can we create a life that deeply fulfills us?Trust the nudge, ask the questions,
and let curiosity guide the way
