This product is a significant addition to their offerings, marking a new category in the store. Mari recently traveled to Bentonville, Arkansas, to meet with Walmart and Sam's Club buyers to discuss the new product.

The new product launch is a significant development for Bloom and is generating excitement among consumers. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting announcement.

    • Healthy routine consistencyMaintaining a healthy routine requires focus on simple, controllable aspects like walking and eating whole foods. Consistency is key, progress may not come overnight, and pushing yourself can lead to better results.

      Maintaining a healthy routine, especially while traveling or dealing with various commitments, requires focus on the simplest and controllable aspects of wellness, such as walking and eating whole foods. Consistency is key, and it's essential to understand that progress may not come overnight. In terms to weight loss or muscle gain, it's important to be consistent and sustainable in your efforts, and pushing yourself during workouts can lead to better results. The speaker's personal journey with H.Pylori gut protocol and skin improvement highlights the importance of sticking to a plan and making sure not to leave room for harmful elements to return. Overall, the key is to stay focused, consistent, and push yourself to see progress.

    • Boundaries with loved onesCommunicating clear boundaries with family and loved ones is crucial for self-love and personal growth. Explore less invasive options for fertility treatments and consider natural alternatives for everyday products.

      Setting boundaries, even with loved ones, is an essential form of self-love. Pushing yourself to your limits, whether in workouts or personal goals, is important, but rest days should be active and enjoyable. Communicating clear boundaries with family and loved ones can be challenging, but being clear about personal values and needs is key. Regarding fertility treatments, considering less invasive options like IUI before pursuing more intensive procedures like IVF is worth exploring. Lastly, being mindful of the ingredients in everyday products like toothpaste, and opting for natural alternatives, is a simple yet impactful step towards better health.

    • Self-care, RelationshipsPrioritizing self-care in health and relationships leads to significant benefits. Convenient solutions like Bite toothpaste tablets and Dream Recovery's Dream Tape Plus can support these efforts. Relationships go through ups and downs, but pushing through tough times together can strengthen the bond.

      Prioritizing self-care and maintaining a strong foundation in key areas of life, such as health and relationships, can lead to significant benefits. Bite toothpaste tablets offer a convenient and eco-friendly solution for maintaining oral hygiene on the go. Dream Recovery's new Dream Tape Plus combines the benefits of mouth taping for sleep with skincare ingredients, addressing concerns about potential damage or harmful ingredients. In relationships, it's important to remember that they can go through ebbs and flows, and pushing through tough times together can lead to a stronger bond. Personal experiences of building a business and trying to conceive have highlighted the importance of self-care, patience, and resilience in navigating life's challenges.

    • Infertility emotional toll80% of infertility cases are unexplained, let go of self-blame and negative self-talk, seek support and understand others may be going through similar experiences.

      Infertility can be a challenging and isolating experience, despite the common belief that getting pregnant should be easy. Speaker shared her personal journey of dealing with infertility and the emotional toll it took on her, especially when comparing herself to others. She emphasized that 80% of infertility cases are unexplained and encouraged letting go of self-blame and negative self-talk. The speaker also mentioned the importance of seeking support and understanding that others may be going through similar experiences. She drew inspiration from various fitness influencers during her weight loss journey and offered her advice for dealing with imposter syndrome by asking herself "if not you, then who?"

    • Self-confidence and self-rememberingAcknowledging strengths and achievements, giving oneself confidence to try new things, and reminding oneself of past accomplishments are crucial for overcoming self-doubt and insecurities.

      Self-confidence and self-remembering are key to personal growth and success. Mari, a health and wellness podcast host, shared her experience of constantly reminding herself of her accomplishments and skills to overcome self-doubt and insecurities. She emphasized the importance of acknowledging one's strengths and achievements, even in the presence of intrusive thoughts or nervousness. Mari also mentioned the significance of giving oneself confidence to try new things, despite fear. Additionally, she shared her thoughts on pregnancy announcements, preferring to keep the moment intimate and special, rather than filming it for social media. Lastly, Mari raised concerns about the use of plastic cutting boards and the potential harm of microplastics in food, expressing the need for a better solution.

    • Aging and Health, Travel, Podcasting, BrandsAs we age, intentional choices towards health and supporting causes become crucial. Travel necessitates solutions for clean water access, while podcasting requires passion and experience. Brands with missions to make a difference can provide both financial support and a platform for positive impact.

      Staying healthy and intentional about our choices becomes even more important as we age. Whether it's supporting a friend going through a fertility struggle or focusing on brain health through nutritious snacks, empathy and positivity go a long way. During travel, finding solutions for access to clean water is essential for some, while others may not be as concerned. When it comes to starting a podcast, passion and experience are key, and partnering with brands that align with your values can provide both financial support and a platform to make a difference. The Mosh bars, founded by Maria Shriver and her son Patrick Schwarzenegger, are a perfect example of a brand with a mission to improve brain health and give back to families affected by Alzheimer's disease. So whether you're disconnecting in the mountains or connecting with others through media, remember the importance of intentional living and supporting causes that matter to you.

    • Brand partnerships for podcastersConsistency and selectivity are crucial for building a substantial listener base to attract brand partnerships. Choose brands that align with your content and audience.

      Building a successful podcast involves growing a substantial listener base to attract brand partnerships. The speaker, who has experience both as a network member and an independent podcaster, emphasized the importance of consistency and selectivity in choosing brands to work with. Additionally, she shared her preference for cooking and eating healthy on the road. The speaker also revealed her current obsession with the book series "A Court of Thorns and Roses," which she described as a fantasy series with sexual content. Lastly, she gave a sneak peek into Bloom's latest product launch, a drink exclusive to Target stores. The speaker's relationship with alcohol was also discussed, with her mentioning that she enjoys a glass or two of wine or a dirty martini occasionally.

    • Mariana's health choicesMariana prioritizes her health and carefully considers the impact of activities and substances on it, including alcohol and horseback riding

      Mariana values her health and wellbeing, and makes conscious decisions about activities and substances that may negatively impact them. She shares her sensitivity to alcohol and the consequences it has on her sleep and overall health. Mariana also expresses her love for horseback riding but acknowledges the risks and time commitment involved, and plans to take a break during pregnancy. Additionally, she highlights her multilingual background, speaking some French due to her upbringing in Switzerland and England. Mariana also encourages listeners to check for job opportunities at Bloom on LinkedIn and announces upcoming sales on Amazon Prime Day.
