About this episode

Mari shares her experiences and reflections at 26 weeks pregnant, discussing wellness, career changes, and the future of the podcast.

In this special solo episode, I’m recording from home (comfy in bed, laptop in hand!) to catch you up on everything happening in my life right now. At 26 weeks pregnant, I’m reflecting on how my journey is unfolding, the emotional and spiritual connection I feel with my baby, and how this sacred season is shifting my approach to health, career, and even this podcast. I share the highs and lows of pregnancy so far, from nesting mode and hypnobirthing classes to my first pelvic floor therapy session (and the wild stats I learned about strength training while pregnant). I also talk about why I’m making some changes to Pursuit of Wellness during this time, how I’m thinking about maternity leave, and what you can expect from the show moving forward. If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to balance wellness, work, and life while preparing for motherhood, this one’s for you. For Mari’s Instagram click here!
