Full Episode
You cannot trust anything that's coming out of like my taste buds during pregnancy, which has been really interesting in developing a cookbook.
This is the Pursuit of Wellness podcast, and I'm your host, Mari Llewellyn.
Olivia, welcome to the Pursuit of Wellness. It's amazing to be here. Thank you so much. I am a pal girl, which I actually don't even know if I've told you this. I had no idea. So it's fun to be, you know, on the other side of the camera.
That's so sweet. And guys, just if you're not watching on camera, Olivia is literally about to give birth. Like we talked about doing this episode and you were like... yeah, unless I'm giving birth that day. And like, literally you were like, I might be cramping. So I can't believe you're here right now and you look amazing and congratulations. And we're all so happy for you.
Thank you. Yes, for context, I'm due in two days.
This is crazy that you're here right now.
Kind of the most pregnant that you can be.
Which is insane because you literally have heels on and you look good. Like this is insane.
Like you look amazing. I'm glad that we're recording in the morning because by the end of the day, I'm not sure if the heels were... Yeah, it's like a downward spiral. What time are you in bed nowadays? Last night, 9.30. And I've been letting myself sleep until 7.30. Yep, as you should. And it's been amazing. Like the last week I just committed to, you are not going to be an early riser.
