Sleep Training, Boob Job Recovery & Getting Back to Work
I’m back with another solo Q&A, and we’re catching up on everything happening in life right now. Cai is ten months old, we’ve officially started some very gentle sleep training after bedtime started taking up to two hours, and I’m finally feeling excited about work again. Between getting ready for our big Bloom event in New York, being cleared to work out after my boob job, and figuring out this new version of wellness that actually fits motherhood, life feels very full in the best way. I’m answering your questions about my breast lift and implants with Dr. Anna Steve, including my 265cc implants, lift, slight reduction, fat transfer, and how surprisingly easy recovery has been. We also get into my new engagement ring and why I changed it, tattoo removal, microneedling and CO2 laser, getting back into horseback riding, what’s happening with Arnold, and some of the charities and causes I’ve been getting involved with in Austin. Plus, I’m sharing more about Cai’s current schedule, our favorite baby products, and what life looks like splitting time between Austin and Aspen. And for anyone currently in the newborn trenches, I’m sharing the advice I wish every new mom could hear: this season is temporary, ask for help, and let the people who love you become part of your baby’s life. This one is short, sweet, and very much a life-lately catch-up, from motherhood and fitness to beauty, business, babies, and everything in between. _____ Leave Me a Message - click here!

A Very Honest Life Update + Q&A
I’m back with another solo Q&A, and we’re catching up on everything from motherhood and work to where we’re living, my boob job, and what life looks like almost a year after having Cai. We just got back from LA, where I spoke at Founder Island with Greg, and it was such a full-circle moment going back to the place where so much of my fertility journey and early career happened. I’m also getting real about how different work feels now, why I’m saying yes to things again, and how motherhood has completely shifted what actually feels important to me. I’m answering your questions about splitting our time between Austin and Aspen, whether we’ll eventually move to Colorado, navigating mom guilt, getting help with Cai, friendships after having a baby, and the very real chaos of his current high-energy phase. We also get into his sleep struggles, swim and gymnastics, traveling with a baby, acne and gut testing, and an update on my breast augmentation with Dr. Anna Steve, including my implant size, the Preserve method, fat transfer, healing, and whether I wish I had gone bigger. Plus, I’m sharing what surprised me most about motherhood, how I’m thinking about parenting and boundaries, what I’d do differently with baby number two, and why I’m already emotional about Cai’s first birthday. This episode is a very honest catch-up on where I’m at right now: figuring out motherhood, finding my way back to work, trying to trust my instincts, and learning to let this season look completely different than the one before it. _____ Leave Me a Message - click here!

Postpartum Fitness & My Boob Job…
I'm back, guys! Almost ten months postpartum, and I finally feel like I'm getting back to myself. Motherhood has changed so much about my life, including the way I approach health and fitness, and I'm ready to share what that journey has really looked like. From navigating breastfeeding and finding time to work out to rebuilding my strength and confidence, I'm getting into everything that's helped me feel like the best version of myself again. I'm breaking down my current workout routine, how I've incorporated weightlifting, HIIT, hiking, and tennis, and what my nutrition looks like now that I'm juggling life with Kai. We talk about losing the baby weight, rebuilding my core after a C-section, my experience with peptides, and why I've had to rethink what prioritizing wellness actually looks like as a mom. Plus, I'm sharing a personal update I haven't talked about publicly yet: my recent breast lift, reduction, and fat transfer with Dr. Anne Steve in New York, why I decided to do it before baby number two, and what recovery has been like. I'm also answering your questions about postpartum weight loss, building muscle, balancing sleep and exercise, and staying consistent when life looks completely different than it used to. If you're navigating postpartum, trying to find your way back to fitness, or just figuring out how to make your health a priority in a new season of life, this one's for you. _____ Leave Me a Message - click here!

My C02 Laser Experience: Dr. Cameron Chesnut Part 2
Dr. Cameron Chesnut is back for Part 2, and we're getting into everything. What we actually did to my face, what the recovery has really looked like, and the honest timeline for results. I came to Dr. Chesnut with acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, and some volume loss. We break down the custom laser cocktail (four lasers total) paired with stem cell-rich fat transfer, why he tailors every treatment differently, and how to shop for a laser provider without getting sold whatever device they happen to own. We also get real about filler and Sculptra, including what filler actually looks like when Dr. Chesnut removes it surgically and why he takes a more cautious approach to biostimulators. Plus, the full recovery protocol I followed: hyperbaric oxygen, microplastic-free IV nutrition, red light, PEMF, and more. If you've been curious about CO2 laser, fat transfer, or whether going the long-play route is worth it, this one answers it honestly. _____ Follow Dr. Chesnut here Follow Clinic5c here Learn more about Dr. Chesnut's practice at clinic5c.com Leave Me a Message - click here!

GIRL CHAT: No Filter w/ Fi: GLP-1s, Motherhood & the Hard Conversations
Fi is back for the first time in nearly a year, and this episode feels like the best kind of best-friend catch-up — nothing off limits. Fi gets fully honest about going off her GLP-1 medication, thinking she'd cracked the code, only to have the food noise come back full force and gain everything back in two months flat. She breaks down what she did wrong the first time, what Oprah's book Enough shifted for her, and how she's approaching round two differently. Mari opens up about an emotional spiral she had the day before recording — staring at Cai and being blindsided by grief and anger about her own childhood — and the two get into one of the most raw conversations the show has had about parenthood, the past, and what it means to protect your kid the way you wished someone had protected you. They also finally tell the real story of their friendship — the codependency, the hard conversation, the awkward in-between — plus Fi's booming real estate career, her baseball player boyfriend who actually shows up, CO2 laser updates, internet mom-shamers, and one nap they catastrophically destroyed together. _____ Leave Me a Message - click here!

Parenthood, Marriage & Household Roles with my Husband
Mari sits back down with her husband Greg for their first real conversation since welcoming baby Cai, and they don't hold back. This is Part 1 of a two-part episode and it covers everything they've been quietly navigating over the last four and a half months. They talk about what it actually looks like when two entrepreneurs have a baby. The identity shifts, the separate journeys, the roles that don't come with a manual. Mari opens up about struggling to show up online when she doesn't fully know who she is right now, the pressure she feels from online narratives about what a "good" dad looks like, and how motherhood has completely rewritten how she shows up for herself and her friendships. Greg gets honest about picking up his personal brand while Mari slowed down, his longtime insecurity around reading, and how becoming a dad pushed him to finally commit to books and why it's changing everything. They also get into: navigating colic, baby gadgets that actually helped, why they're both figuring this out in real time, and the philosophy book Mari is currently reading that's making her rethink people-pleasing, trauma, and forgiveness. Raw, real, and genuinely funny, this is the conversation you didn't know you needed. _____ Leave Me a Message - click here! (https://sayhi.chat/pursuitofwellness) For Mari’s Instagram click here!
