What if your home could make motherhood easier instead of adding to the overwhelm?

In this Moms Who Build episode, Mariah introduces interior designer and mom of two, Katie Argueta, a founding member of the Virtual Village who is building a thriving design business rooted in beauty, functionality, and supporting real families. Katie shares how motherhood inspired her to leave the nine to five life, pursue interior design full time, and create homes that help moms feel grounded, organized, and supported.

Together, Mariah and Katie talk about designing for real life, the power of community as a mom entrepreneur, and how intentional spaces can completely shift the way you move through your day. They also dig into kids spaces, drop zones, treasure collections, functional mudrooms, and the small design decisions that bring more ease and joy into your home.

If you have been craving a home that feels good to be in, or you want to hear how another mom built a business that blends creativity, motherhood, and purpose, you will love this conversation.
