Today we’d like to introduce you to Pam Rivet.
Hi Pam, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
MBS | The Woman Beyond The Cape was born out of a deeply personal revelation that women of faith are carrying so much, every single day, and yet so little of what they wear reflects who they truly are on the inside. I’m Pam Rivet, and together with my co-founder, Mandi St.Germaine, we built MBS from a place of purpose. Between us, we are wives, mothers, grandmothers, entrepreneurs, and women who have spent decades showing up for everyone else. One day, we looked at each other and asked, “Where is the brand that shows up for us?” We wanted activewear that didn’t just fit a woman’s body, but honored her identity. Clothes she could wear to school drop-off, a morning walk, a community event, or a quiet moment with God and feel equally at home in all of them. Real life doesn’t happen in one lane, and neither does she.
Our brand scripture, Proverbs 31:16-17, says it all: “She wraps herself in strength, carries herself with confidence, and works hard, strengthening her arms for the task at hand.” That is the MBS woman. She is not defined by a gym. She is defined by her character. What started as a vision has grown into a community of women who are done shrinking and ready to walk fully in who God created them to be, cape and all. What began as a question, has grown into something far greater than activewear. MBS is becoming a full movement. A community. A space where women gather in person, grow together in faith, and walk away more rooted in who God created them to be. We are just getting started.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Building MBS has required every ounce of faith we have. There were seasons where the vision was crystal clear, but the resources were not. Seasons where we poured into the brand financially, emotionally, and spiritually, and wondered if anyone was paying attention. If it was all worth it.
We are both women who carry a lot. Outside of MBS, we are navigating careers, families, and community responsibilities. Pam brings over 16 years of experience in the mortgage industry. Mandi carries her own professional weight as an educator alongside us. Neither of us had the luxury of going all in without real-world obligations pulling at us every single day. Building a brand in the margins of life is not glamorous, but it is sanctifying. We have also faced the challenges that most small business owners face, such as learning the digital landscape, figuring out what resonates, investing in strategies that did not always pan out, and picking ourselves back up when something we believed in did not land the way we hoped.
But here is what we kept coming back to: the women we are building this for are worth every hard moment. Every setback became a setup for a better version of MBS. We stopped trying to build the brand the world told us to build, and started building the one God placed in our hearts. That shift changed everything.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
MBS | The Woman Beyond The Cape is a faith-based women’s activewear brand built for real life. We design for the woman who is showing up fully every single day. The mom, the professional, the community leader, the woman of faith who refuses to compartmentalize who she is based on what she is wearing. What sets us apart is simple: we are not selling workout clothes. We are selling identity. Every piece in our collection is rooted in faith, designed with intentionality, and named with purpose. Our product names are not sizes or styles; they are declarations. I Am Worthy. I Am Enough. I Am Resilient. Each piece carries an affirmation that a woman can speak over herself whenever she gets dressed. That is intentional. That is the MBS difference. Every collection is anchored in Scripture. We believe God’s Word is alive, and that it belongs in every room of a woman’s life, including her closet. When she pulls on a piece of MBS, she is not just getting dressed. She is putting on truth. She is reminding herself of what God already said about her before the world got a chance to tell her otherwise. Our brand scripture, Proverbs 31:16-17, reminds every woman who wears MBS that she was created to move through this world wrapped in strength and confidence. We specialize in activewear that transitions seamlessly through a woman’s real day. School drop-off. A morning walk with God. A community event. A quick errand. A leadership meeting. She does not change who she is, and her clothing should reflect that. What we are most proud of is our community. The MBS woman is not a demographic; she is a movement. Women who are done playing small, done shrinking, and fully committed to walking in the purpose God placed inside of them.
We are currently in an exciting season of growth, expanding our collections, deepening our community through gatherings, bible study, and faith-centered experiences, and building partnerships with women and organizations who share our mission. If you are a woman who wants to stay connected to God throughout your real life, MBS was made for you. You can find us at mbsfit.co.
Any big plans?
The future of MBS is bigger than activewear, and we have always known that.
What God placed in our hearts from the beginning was never just about clothing. It was about community. About creating spaces where women could show up and walk away more rooted in who they are and whose they are. In this next season, we are building that out in a real and tangible way. We are launching community gatherings right here at home: Bible studies, group workouts, and faith-centered experiences that bring the MBS woman together in person. Not just online. Not just through a product. Face to face, breathing the same air, doing the hard and holy work of becoming together. From there, our vision expands to full women’s conferences and immersive experiences that integrate faith, wellness, and personal identity in a way the Christian women’s space desperately craves. We are also growing into devotional products, affirmation journals, and resources that meet her in her everyday moments, not just when she is wearing our gear. On the brand side, we are expanding our collections, pursuing wholesale partnerships with retailers, and working toward national reach. The “Beyond the Cape” Women’s Retreat is on the horizon, an intimate, powerful experience designed to help women strip away everything the world has put on them and rediscover the woman God created them to be. We are not scaling for the sake of scaling. We are growing because the women who need this are waiting.
And we refuse to make them wait any longer.
