Welcome to The Balanced Maven

Hey, I’m Kiera
A work-from-home mom of three, a proud wife in a polyamorous relationship, and a multi-passionate creative finding balance in a beautifully busy life. ✨
At The Balanced Maven, I share all the things that help me feel grounded and inspired: cozy DIYs, renter-friendly home projects, slow mornings, book journaling, travel moments with my crew, soft life reflections, and tips for thriving as a creator. From comfy fashion to creative hobbies, this blog is where style meets intention—and where we make space for joy, one small moment at a time.
After building a career as a UGC creator and collaborating with incredible brands, I now love helping other moms and creatives find their rhythm too—whether it’s through digital products, lifestyle inspiration, or curated affiliate finds I actually use and love.
So grab a warm drink, get comfy, and stay awhile. This space was made with you in mind.
Looking for inspiration? Check out my Soft Life Guide for Black Women.
Or come hang out with me on Pinterest for cozy visuals, DIYs, and digital moodboards.
