- ABOUT US -

Shay & Mariah

Weโ€™re The humans behind the mic @ Curiously Guided

And our love language is having deep, meaningful, transparent conversations, with each other &with our guests.

Letโ€™s Start pulling back the curtainโ€ฆ

Our Vision for the Curiously Guided Podcast:

Weโ€™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 wonโ€™t share on Instagram. We donโ€™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, Iโ€™m Mariah! Iโ€™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. 

Thatโ€™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.

Iโ€™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 โ€œowning a business thingโ€ 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.
