Solo Q&A: IVF Results, Baby Names, Home Cooking Tips, and My Favorite Snacks

Ep. 171: In today’s solo episode, I’m answering your community Q&A, covering everything from fitness routines and nutrition to IVF updates and personal growth. I share my current workout split, favorite healthy habits, and how I structure my days between the podcast and Bloom. We also get into fun topics like my go-to nail color, thoughts on living abroad, and even a little baby name talk. Plus, I open up about faith, mental well-being, and learning to balance ambition with self-care. Leave Me a Message - click here! For Mari’s Instagram click here!
