In this episode, Mariah sits down with Dana Stanley—stay-at-home mom, content creator, and founder of Laid Back Magic, a digital Disney World planning guide that’s redefining how moms experience the magic. Dana shares how she went from filming weddings to running a thriving online business while raising three little ones—and why staying “laid back” is more than just a brand, it’s a movement.
This is a conversation about starting small, trusting the pause, and making business work around your real life (not the other way around).
