Behind the MicWelcome bestie.
We’re so glad you’re here.
We’re Adriana and Mariah. Co-hosts, entrepreneurs, BFFs, and girls just like you trying to figure it out as we go.
let us introduce
ourselves
Glow Through It is the community you didn’t know you needed to get through all the shit life throws your way.
Where it all began
Our story began like all great friendships do- on Instagram! Mariah was looking for jobs out of college and found Little Words Project on IG- so she took a chance and applied! Upon meeting her, Adriana was in friend love. The two hit it off right away and Mariah quickly became Adriana’s right hand, co-entrepreneur, and ride or die. From the days in the dingy first office/warehouse- to now in their 14,000 sq ft office space, the girls have remained extremely close along their entire journey. Often confused for sisters, Adriana and Mariah have a bond that actually makes them feel like sisters too- and they want to bring you into their little sisterhood with the Glow Through It Podcast!
Adriana Carrig
Co-host, founder of LWP, mama bearAdriana is a 32 year old BOSS who started her business in her parent’s basement 9 years ago and has grown it to a multi-million dollar company in that time. While Little Words Project is her first “baby” - Adriana’s life long wish was always to be a mom. After a long battle with infertility, her and her husband were finally able to conceive her now 16-month old baby boy, Ford. Adriana is the big sister you always wanted and has no problem offering unsolicited advice to the young women in her life (and you listeners) making her someone to look up to. She’s an open book and no subject is off the table- so lean on her to get the truth about business owning, momming, and everything in between.
Mariah Grippo
Co-host, brand director, looking for loveMariah is a 29 year old Gemini with no filter, ready at any second to make you laugh hysterically either with her (or at her!) Upon graduating from Rutgers in 2015, she wasn’t sure how her life path would look- but she knew she wanted to do something that would make a positive impact on the world. Mariah joined Adriana on the Little Words Project ride in the very beginning and has been her sidekick ever since. As the proudest Employee Number One of LWP, Mariah is the mascot and bestie of the Nice Girl community and also happens to be a bit of a “dating guru” on the side. She’s the friend you can always count on, a confidence boost when you need it most and your daily reminder that life is NEVER that serious.
The ultimate game of truth
we’ll go first…| Adriana | Mariah | |
|---|---|---|
| Can't Live Without | Chocolate before bed. | Scrolling TikTok for a good hour before bed. |
| Favorite Quote | Querer Es Poder- it means if you believe in it, it can happen. | Everything comes to the man (or woman) who asks. |
| Guilty Pleasure | Binge watching mindless reality tv. Housewives?! YES PLEASE. | Listening to a sad song over and over again if the sad part didn’t hurt enough the first time listening. Dramatic, I know. |
| Favorite Destination | The Catskills with my little family <3 | Disney. Duh. Because I’ve never been out of the country, or because I actually love it? Unsure. |

| Advice you wish you got sooner | Take business classes in college. Maybe some finance classes too. An degree in English was pretty random to then become a business owner, but we’re figuring it out. | Don’t wait till he cheats on you to leave him. Being semi-unhappy is more than enough reason to leave him. |
| What's in your purse? | SO many random things I don’t even know. Definitely a breast pump, I can tell you that. | About 150 chapsticks. |
We’re just two girls learning as we go and glowing through it…
