S4 E.1 We’re Definitely Back… But Are We Better?
In this Episode
Well glowphers (are we still even using that?!), we’re back. That’s right. It has been a long-time coming, but finally… alas… we are back for Season 4 of the Glow Through It podcast. Now when some people return after a long hiatus, they might say that they’re “Back and better than ever.” But the question for us is… are we better? Adriana might be, but Mariah?
Kidding! We have had so much happen to us in the past few months - from changes to the podcast, to LWP updates, to TikTok fame, we have so much to catch you up on – so let’s dive right in.
Starting off strong, the girls chat about recent happenings with LWP. The business has grown so much since the last time we talked, to the point where Mariah has been attending events for the brand alone, whereas in the past, Adriana would have been right there next to her. But we’re not complaining! Mariah is the queen of brand experiences for LWP, and Adriana has to leverage her time with her family, as well as with the ever-expanding business. Mariah recounts a story about a recent encounter she had at one of these events. She met Draya Michele, one of her favorite influencers, and accidentally (or was it?) told her that she was the founder of LWP - yup, THE founder. Not A founder, but THE founder. She almost got so far as to say that she was bullied her entire life, taking the story right out of Adriana’s mouth! But it’s all in good fun – Mariah is a founding member of LWP, so what’s a little white lie here and there? ;)
Mariah also got to hang out with Kim Kardashian’s kids for a good two hours at another event, and took them to the bathroom – talk about an opportunist! Hopefully on the next season of The Kardashians we’ll be able to spot some stacks on the wrists.
And while Mariah’s life has been pretty jam-packed with celebrity encounters and brand experiences, Adriana is busy on the East coast - opening up new retail stores for LWP, growing the business more, and of course, spending time with baby Ford – who isn’t much of a baby anymore! He’s over a year old now, and we swear he morphed into a whole adult overnight! He’s dancing, running around, and busy being the literal cutest child on the face of this earth.
Hmm, what else has been going on? Oh, yeah – time to address the elephant in the room. Is Mariah still with her man from Season 3? We’re sad to say that no, she is not, but the breakup led to a couple life changes for Mariah. First off - she moved to Jersey City! Ok, well that wasn’t sparked by the breakup, but still! She gets to live her best single life in Jersey City now that she isn’t tied down to this man. Second, she blew up on TikTok because of the dating videos she’s made on there (some because of this guy!). So while yes, breakups suck, and dating in 2022 sucks even worse, there is always a silver lining that we can find. Thank god for TikTok fame.
The girls also touch on counterbalancing the negative in your life with positives. So while there may be areas of your life that feel like they are falling apart - be it relationships, careers, friendships - always be sure to intentionally seek out the good things in life. Because when you allow yourself to sink into the negative, it can feel like the world is falling apart around you. They also talk about seasons of selfishness, and how it’s impossible to hold space for everyone in your life all the time – sometimes it’s important to take a step back, reprioritize, and take time for what matters most at this stage in your life.
We’re so excited for Season 4 of this podcast. With so much going on right now in our lives, we are just going to wing this season – but there’s nothing wrong with that! We might have less guests, or we might have some really cool ones - who knows! We’ll talk about all the same topics – motherhood, dating, friendship, business (because ya know, co-founders), and more! But all that matters is that we’re excited to be back, and we hope you’re excited for a season filled with laughs, inspiration, and of course, friendship.
