Why did Mari decide to return to fitness after her first postpartum year?
When I first had Kai, health and fitness was not a priority. But as I've gone along on my journey, I've been able to prioritize it again. Working out does something for me that nothing else can. And bringing it back in my life in a way that I have has really, really helped me. We're going balls to the wall, people. And just that element of intensity... I just, it lights me up. I am absolutely dying by the end of these workouts. And those workouts, by the way, are sometimes only 30 minutes, 45 minutes, because I'm always jetting back to get back to Kai. I did a Q&A a couple of days ago and I have never, ever, ever received more DMs from you guys. I don't even know how long it's been, honestly, but I'm back.
A little update for you guys. I actually got my boobs done. This is the Pursuit of Wellness podcast and I'm your host, Mari Llewellyn. Guys, welcome back to the podcast. I don't even know how long it's been honestly, but I'm back. I'm currently almost 10 months postpartum now. And before I headed over here, my mother-in-law was like, oh my God, you're doing the podcast. You're going to a Bloom meeting. You're speaking on stage in two weeks. You're going to the New York City Bloom event. Like what made you hop back into everything? And I was like, you know what? I seriously think it took me nine months to just feel like myself again. And it's been slowly but surely. But I know for a fact the last time I sat in this chair and spoke on the podcast, I was so
So not myself. And maybe I sounded like myself, but I know internally I was just feeling very confused, very unsure of like what I wanted my life to look like, unsure of what I wanted to share. feeling weird about my body to be honest with you like just I mean you know classic postpartum first time mum vibes I think I was like trying to do the podcast trying to do a little bit of work but always feeling like confused about things and I'm really starting to feel like much more like myself but like better like the version of me that's a mom now that feels more confident in motherhood obviously I don't have everything figured out like I'm still a first time mom but remembering the things I love and one of those things is fitness which is what today's episode is going to be about we're going to talk postpartum fitness journey
And feeling confident again. Feeling healthy and strong. Feeling more like myself. Which is honestly a huge reason why I'm able to sit here right now. Because I do feel so much better. And I credit that to feeling healthy and fit again. And also just giving myself some time. So I appreciate the patience, guys. And I did a Q&A a couple days ago. And I have never, ever, ever received more DMs from you guys. Just being like, please bring the podcast back. I've been listening to old episodes. I miss it. It got me through dark times and it really made me emotional. I was like, oh my God, I feel terrible that I kind of disappeared for a minute. But I think I was also unsure of how to come back because... this show um was you know at its peak very health forward and i'm so proud of that i'm very proud of um a lot of the information i put out there and the conversations i had i think i had like i don't know 200 episodes or something crazy so many interviews with amazing people
Pretty much everyone I admire in the health space came on this show. But at the same time, it was such a different era of my life. Like I was so into the biohacking. I was so into optimizing health. I was like in the sauna and the cold plunge every day. I was red lighting every day. I was taking so many supplements. I was like super tapped into wellness. And my life just doesn't look like that anymore. And it's funny because I remember back then... getting comments which is still an annoying comment to for people to be like wait till you have kids just wait till you have kids you'll never do it again and like those are annoying comments and i would never comment that on someone's thing but now i you know i see that perspective and as a mom now i'm definitely not
