Inspired by her own pursuit of wellness, Mari is diving deeper into topics such as optimal living, nutrition, exercise, longevity, mental health, childhood trauma, relationships, and more. Radical honesty, goal-setting, and self-discipline all helped Mari transform and finally feel at home in her body. But Pursuit of Wellness is really about working from the inside out, learning to believe in yourself, and knowing that you are WORTH the time and energy to become your best self. Mari is on a mission to find the best health hacks from experts, as well as tips from her closest friends and family. In addition, you’ll hear solo episodes from Mari herself, discussing her own struggles and triumphs along the way.

Ep. #134 On today’s episode of Pursuit of Wellness, I’m excited to share a recap of my recent EuroTrip, with all the fun and, of course, some of the chaos—like flight delays and trying to stick to my routine on the go. This solo chat is all about getting back on track with morning routines and habit stacking. Personally, I’ve found that cutting out early morning decisions and staying consistent with meals and workouts makes all the difference. I’ll also walk you through my skincare routine, how I manage supplements, and give some tips on starting your own routine. If you're looking for motivation to stay consistent and build a strong morning routine, this episode is for you!
