This week, Maya and Sarah sit down with Dr. Sara Bloom, physician, maternal health advocate, and founder of Mavie, a wellness platform created to support mothers long after the six-week postpartum checkup.

After experiencing motherhood herself, Dr. Bloom began questioning why so many women are expected to power through chronic exhaustion, stress, and burnout—and why those experiences have become so normalized. What followed was a conversation that every mom who's ever said "I'm fine" while running on fumes needs to hear.

Together, we discuss:

• The massive gap between postpartum care and long-term maternal wellness
• Why so many mothers feel depleted and why we're told that's just part of the job
• The pressure to "bounce back" and do it all
• What it actually means to prioritize your health when you barely have time to shower
• The concept of "microwellness" and why small habits often matter more than big overhauls
• How to cut through the endless stream of wellness advice online and find information you can trust

We also get into the wellness trends Dr. Bloom is loving right now, the trend she wishes we'd collectively retire, and why self-care has become so much bigger than face masks and bubble baths.

This is a conversation about motherhood, identity, health, burnout, and giving ourselves permission to need care, too. Whether you're deep in the postpartum years or simply trying to function on too little sleep and too many responsibilities, this episode is a reminder that feeling better doesn't have to start with doing more.
