E56: InvisiYouth Chat Sessions with creator of the popular TikTok Magnolia Hill House and chronic illness influencer educator, Mariah Michelle

Let's bring manageable joyfulness into the way you use your social media platforms and your daily life so there's the almighty balance between work life and personal life. Our special guest is creator of the popular TikTok platform Magnolia Hill House, Mariah Michelle. A model-turned chronic illness influencer, Mariah created a platform that educates and entertains over 470k followers to find joy in life with chronic illnesses while also making enjoyable and accessible content for all. Here’s the Four Hot Takeaways: At 3:44 Mariah and Dominique get real on setting those boundaries when you fuse your personal life into your social media, especially when you’re sharing about your chronic illness/disability. And Mariah gives all the insight on how she’s kept her health a priority without losing steam, what ways you can keep in your lane and style of content without feeling like you’re competing in that “chronic illness Olympics” with other creators, and what’s her most and least favorite things about the influencer world. At 23:17 Mariah shares how she created her highly successful #FloralFridays and we give all the tips, tricks and mindset switches you can add into daily living so you are incorporating joyfulness into even the biggest of flareup days. Plus, there are two tips so you can intentionally separate how your mind feels away from how your body/health feels…and that’s a major thing you’ll wanna learn.  STORY TIME at 43:13 gives us a huge laugh and insight into Mariah’s childhood and how her first taste of a potential ambulatory mobility aid user created a family catchphrase of “it’s a miracle” that’s now ironically prevalent in Mariah’s sarcastic humorous side of her life with chronic illness. And the final segment at 48:53 goes deep into the ways those of us living with chronic illness/disability can best interact with the “healthy/non-disabled” people and social media communities around us. Mariah and Dominique give some major pieces of advice—and a lot of laughs—on how you can create enjoyable and palatable content for both chronically ill and healthy audiences, the ways you can spark curiosity without making others defensive, and the top four tips on how to you can navigate the relationship between yourself and your circles of “healthy/non-disabled” family and friends.  Please like, comment, subscribe and share this episode, follow Mariah @magnoliahillhouse on TikTok and Instagram.
