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. You need to like... sleep as much as you can now before this baby comes out and like completely wrecks your schedule.
Like rest up, honey. How much has your routine changed from before you were pregnant to now?
I was definitely a lot more rigid in my habits and routines and everything was like super systematized. And I think one of the main takeaways from pregnancy is I'm building a lot more flexibility and less rigidity into my schedule. It's like, okay, I need to give myself some margin. I can't run at the same pace that I was running. And I'm sure you can relate so well to this where you're like in the zone, in work mode for so many years that you start to operate like a machine and pregnancy does not work.
really allow for that it's like that masculine feminine vibe that everyone talks about and some people don't like that word but i feel like yeah i was in fight or flight for so long and this like going through ivf and pregnancy completely shifted the way that i approach my life for the first time and it's kind of nice because it really does force you to change your perspective on how you do things
Like such a release of control. Yes. And realizing that part of that release is actually very liberating. Yes. At first I held tightly to like, no, I want to maintain like the same level of putting out content like I was. And I want to be working out like I was before eating like I was before and realizing that I could release some of that rigidity and nothing would really change. yes all that much like work kept going on at a normal pace and i felt really good i felt really strong it's just it's helped me be more flexible in my mindset about everything yeah which is a great learning lesson to bring into the rest of your life as well and i can't wait to talk about like workouts and pregnancy nutrition
Before we hop in, you have 1.6 million followers. You have an amazing food page. Honestly, I think your page is my favorite to follow. It really is because you post, you make food fun. And I feel like you focus on gluten-free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free most of the time, but the food is still so delicious and fun looking. Where did your love of food begin?
I'm so glad that that is what comes through on my page, first of all. It's been very intentional for me to create a space where food is fun, it's joyful, it's healthy, and it happens to be gluten-free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free. It's not like, all right, we're starting with the rules and now we're trying to force it to be interesting. I really want food to just be an enjoyable part of everyday life.
