It was a pleasure to head over to Mariel’s home in Malibu to get a glimpse at how she lives. I cuddled with her white cat and pet her two doggies as the camera crew set up. I couldn’t wait to show her my new Sony Cyber-shot, as she is a healthy life style advocate and I knew she needed a camera to showcase her craft.

She says, “Creating a healthier body and mind allows us to do more and live a longer, more vibrant and meaningful life. It is my belief that the choices we make, the information we seek, and the food we eat are integral to our well-being.”

Mariel has written books about life, yoga, nutrition and well-being including a cookbook. She has created a company called Mariel’s Kitchen in order to share her passion for living a healthy, happy life. Through making positive, intentional choices about food, movement, home, and silence, she has found her center and balance.

Moms who work outside of the home have many challenges. But what if you run a business from your home? How do you prioritize, find balance and connect to other like-minded women for inspiration? Watch Michelle Rivera from Mommyhood to Hollywood speak with Kimberley  Blaine about how she maintains her business goals while staying home with her toddler. Filmed at Sony Pictures in Culver City, CA.
