About Maria

Maria Granados is a mama to two crazy kiddos (and a wife to one!) based outside of St. Louis, MO. Maria kicked off her professional career in the nonprofit sector and later served as executive director of Eagle University - an innovative youth program that launches young leaders. However, she is no stranger to the entrepreneurial journey, starting her first business, Life Pulse Inc., over 5 years ago with her husband Matt where she still serves as VP of the company. A few years later, Maria decided to launch a new online venture for her local community - empowHER boutique - where she uses style to encourage women to walk in their God-given power. In 2020, she rejoined forces with her husband to launch a nonprofit - Take Part Foundation - dedicated to funding rare pediatric research projects to help kiddos like their own fight for the possibility of a healthy future. This year, Maria has added one more project to the lineup - Good Moves - a new wholesale brand solely for boutique owners who want quality activewear for their fitness-minded customers. Maria loves sharing her real life journey as a special needs mama, Jesus follower and business owner via social media to encourage others to embrace the love God has for them on their journey. In her free time outside of family life, you will find her lifting heavy weights, geeking out over Bible history, or re-watching New Girl for the 100th time!
