For Fi’s sake I’m hoping she’ll go on to have a super successful career and return to the pod to have a more genuine friendship with Mari resulting in more realistic convos on the pod. I like these two together, but you can see the power dynamic even from their parting conversation on the pod. I love Mari but I do feel like she needs to learn how to let the conversation flow without butting in and redirecting everything to herself and her own life—even in that last conversation Fi would be on the verge of sharing something important and Mari would butt in with something for her own life or Fi would be sharing the woes of wanting children but not yet having a partner, and Mari is coming in with unhelpful lines. Overall it’s a great pod I just feel like Mari can be out of touch with the masses so to speak—like I’m a successful attorney and even I can’t afford to get lab work whenever I want to figure out what’s going on with my skin or to see a functional medicine doctor (they’re all out of network and $500/visit without treatment) to figure out what’s going on with my fatigue and hormones (and it’s not about “priorities”—I do spend on my health). It’s just that most of the advice is expensive to implement, and even upper middle class women can’t really afford the suggested solutions most of the time. Honestly sometimes I can’t even listen because it reminds me that I need to be making so much more money to reach that next echelon of wellness.

Love love love episode with Michelle !!

I am enjoying this podcast and the engaging conversations that Mari offers!

Mari clearly is suffering from an eating disorder. She has lot so much weight and all of her muscle. She has a bitterness and anger to her that is showing through her podcasts so maybe she is just in a dark place? I just don't think she should still be doing a podcast when she is so far from the person she was when she started. She needs to take care of herself!!

Fi was the only good thing about POW. Good on her for leaving, especially since she is openly democratic and Mari/Greg obviously aren’t, lol. Fi deserves much better friends! I hope she starts her own POD

This podcast is so fun and interesting and I just love Mari as a person likeeee please don’t ever change girly I love your work

Enjoyed the episode with Sami Slater discussing her weight loss journey. It was inspiring. She generously offered help to anyone who wanted it with a Form membership. DM’d her. No reply.

I love her podcast but the Kendall Toole episode was one of the best! Thank you for sharing your story about your mental health struggles. You have no idea how impactful that is to others who have and are currently struggling w mental health! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I truly look forward to every single episode, it helps my commute to work. I’ve learned so much for myself & my family. I tried to get into other podcast to piggy back off this & I just can’t.

Mari has a way of interviewing world renowned expert guests and making their information approachable and implementable.

this is my favorite podcast. mari you are the best! keep the pods rolling

The host does a great job of asking questions that relate to women but guest always talk in circles and never give a straight forward answer. It seems they want to make you overthink and buy their product/program.

Love the interesting topics in this podcast from health to relationships.

I like some of the topics and guests, but… According to chat gpt: The *Pursuit of Wellness* podcast—because nothing says “wellness” like being told your morning routine is incomplete without a $100 jade roller and a dozen supplements. And of course, just when you think you're tuning in to hear an expert guest drop some wisdom, the host swoops in to make it all about her journey. Forget the guest’s expertise—let’s hear for the millionth time about her meditation epiphany on a beach in Bali. Every episode is less of an interview and more of a wellness memoir, starring none other than… the host herself. Could have not said it more accurately.

Really loved following Mari when she was with one media, since then she’s struggled to get reputable guests. Her opinions/interviews contradict her products. Follow for young perspective on “healthy ish” advice

I love Mari and her knowledge. She has helped me so much in my wellness journey.

Stays off topic, the first 10 mins is just blabbing, get to the point of the podcast

I can honestly say it’s help me so much in different areas of my life. At this moment of my journey is great to have something to guide me. I will continue to listen for as long as this podcast grow. I admire this beautiful host. Great job in everything you do. 🥰

Not sure how this podcast is so popular. She is very out of touch and not a relatable personality.

I missed how you became business partners with Greg. It went from him helping her get in shape to moving to Colorado with their business

I’m so happy I found this podcast!!! I’m on my own journey and I am down 100 pounds. It’s been hard for sure but possible! Thank you for these podcast! I can’t even put into words how much I love it and your vibe!

I have been following Mari for about 5 years now and her transition into the podcast world has actually changed my life. I had NO education or interest into the holistic world, but quickly got myself into a lot of eye opening chronic fatigue, hormone imbalances and just about every possible symptom Mari discusses. I was confused and overwhelmed on how to start educating and learning about my body. Mari and her guests have done all the work for me. Literally every possible health benefit I can learn and put into practice. How much easier and better does it get than this? I feel incredibly knowledgeable when having conversations with others now. I’ve been listening to the show since day one and it’s the only thing that gets me through my tough rush hour commutes. I cannot thank Mari/Greg and the entire bloom team for literally saving my life. Not to mention this podcast space has me so compassionate and caring for Mari’s personally journey. It’s like you and her are having a conversation to each other on your way to work! Her voice and words are so well spoken. I had no idea what to do or where to turn a year ago 🤍🫶🏼 From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

I recently discovered this health and wellness podcast, and I can't recommend it enough! The hosts and guests are incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and relatable. I have learned so much on the topic of gut issues (which I’ve been struggling with) and find those particular episodes so helpful and educational. Each episode is a treasure trove of valuable information on physical, mental, and emotional well-being, tailored specifically to women’s needs. What I love most is the wide range of topics covered—from nutrition and fitness to mental health and self-care. The guests are always inspiring, offering practical advice and fresh perspectives. I appreciate how the podcast addresses real-life issues with empathy, making it feel like a supportive community.

Absolutely love listening to this podcast while I’m at the gym or in any productive environment. She does a great job at not only motivating myself but also making me feel good about myself. :)

Absolutely love this podcast. It hits on all the topics I personally love and hosts incredible speakers and guests. I’ve listened back to most all shows since the beginning and they are so good. I love to workout, eat healthy, interested in bio hacking, want to feel my best, etc. and this podcast aligns perfectly with my lifestyle. Keep all the guests coming!

I enjoy this podcast for the most part but am suspicious of fake podcast reviews recently. Normally with podcast reviews (even those who have a huge platform), you may see a new review or two here and there, every couple of days - if that. Genuine reviews have mixed perspectives and don’t share the same “voice,” if you will. POW podcast reviews follow this general pattern and then boom - on August 5th, there are approximately 70 similarly written glowing reviews, all at once (highly unlikely). Unfortunately, paid reviews are a thing in the podcasting industry - it’s fairly easy to spot and will diminish your credibility. It’s interesting that this batch of reviews comes directly after other users (longtime followers) stated that they were blocked on social media for asking simple questions (e.g., the use of sucralose in the new energy drink). Apparently there’s a history of the Bloom team being completely unreceptive to any feedback or constructive criticism from their fans. Fake podcast reviews in order to artificially inflate ratings would fall in line with that notion, which is really disappointing.

This podcast landed on my recommended list and I am so grateful that it did!!! I’ve been struggling with every subject that this show speaks to and I can feel my self healing beginning already. Thank you for the messages you are putting out there, you are making a difference🙏🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽💕

Really enjoying this show and topics!! Shared with several friends!

I started listening to this podcast a few months ago & it has truly changed my perspective on so many parts of life. The discussions are always so insightful and make me think about how to implement these practices into my own life. I cannot recommend this podcast enough!!

Not loving the “Monday mashups”. Replaying old episodes is duff.

Listening to this podcast has helped me immensely in my health journey. Mari discusses topics that not many people do. It is so informative and makes me what to take better care of myself! Working on my vision board because I am in my healing era! ❤️ thank you for helping me find information and self love!

The episode about mental health and manifesting really resonated with me. I have been on my wellness journey since 2017 and it has been a constant battle of being focused and losing weight and then self sabotaging. And for the past 7 years I have really struggled with staying consistent. I always tell myself had I stayed consistent then by now I would be like Mari and maintaining but the issue has been my mental frame of mind and not thinking in the best way of myself. And so as I start again on my wellness journey I am really focusing on seeing working out and eating right as my everyday life and routine and not focusing on the scale but rather focusing on how I feel. And manifesting the things that I want in life which include being the best version of myself and healthy. Every episode has been full of epiphanies and aha moments.

If you're a woman in your 20s or 30s striving to become your best self, tune into this podcast! Each week, Mari hosts guests who delve into various wellness topics. These experts share valuable insights, allowing you to take what resonates with you. While each wellness journey is unique, the rich knowledge shared can guide you closer to your goals and to the person you want to become. More than just a podcast, POW is a supportive companion in your quest to your best self. Also love the bestie vibes Mari and Fiona have!

I love this podcast because it brings awareness and empowers listeners to take control of their health and not follow the norm!

I am so excited to have stumbled upon this podcast! It’s been a phenomenal find. I’ve only listened to a few episodes so far but I have taken something away from each one. I even ordered the Vitaclean shower head after the episode with the founders of Vitaclean! I am on a continous health conscious journey and the ideas and information I’ve found here are knowledge gems that I will carry with and implement into my life. Thank you!

The Pursuit of Wellness podcast by Mari has been a game-changer in my fitness and wellness journey. Mari feels like the older sister, guiding me with wisdom, compassion, and a deep understanding of what it takes to live a healthy, fulfilling life. My favorite episode is Ep. #127, where Mari leads a very powerful discussions with Tom McCarthy, Melissa Wood Tepperberg, and Roxie Nafousi. I loved how they explored finding one's true identity and purpose, manifesting self-worth, and cultivating a positive dialogue around self-image. If you're looking for actionable insights and inspiring stories to help you navigate life's challenges and thrive, this podcast is a must-listen. Thank you, Mari, for continually inspiring me to be the best version of myself!

I recently started listening to POW and wow am I loving it! Mari has created a space that truly feels like home for a woman in her 20s. Mari’s mindful approach to all things health and wellness is reflected in her energy and the guests she brings us.

I have learned so much since listening to this podcast! I started lifting more, eating better and eliminating toxins from my life and I feel like I learned the evidence to back up my choices. I’ve bought so many things from their guests! I even got my blood work done by function health and learned about my genetic risk for cardiovascular disease. I’m actually a nurse and I feel like I have learned more about personal health here than in nursing school. Thank you for having these conversations!

Best podcast for all things health, fitness, and wellness.

First of all, Mari is a sweet angel whose thoughtfulness, genuineness, and kindness shines through each podcast to her community. I appreciate that this podcast offers a range of opinions and perspectives with the purpose of wanting to learn and understand. I look forward to hearing from experts on various topics and the catch-up sessions with Mari. Give it a listen! 💕🫶 Plus the Bloom products are fabulous 💚

I would say that I’m pretty conscious of my health, but this podcast motivates me to go in depth about my overall well-being. I’m a healthier, happier, and more driven version of myself since I started listening. I LOVE hearing about Mari’s fertility journey. I’m recently married and the thought of having my first child is a circulating thought. I feel like Mari is taking the steps before us so we’re not as delusional or unprepared when it’s our turn. Thank you Mari for this podcast. And if you’re looking for inspo, I would die to hear from someone who is vegetarian and/or Vanessa Marin (author of Sex Talks) :)

I recommend this podcast to everyone, it’s so informative and life changing. Thank you for all you do!

I’ve been listening to the Pursuit of Wellness podcast for over six months now, and I’ve already gone through every episode. I never miss a new one each week. Mari has such a beautiful aura; she’s incredibly smart and a shining example of determination and strength. She’s truly my inspiration, and I’m so grateful I discovered this podcast. Mari, keep up your incredible work—you’re making a profound impact on so many lives with your content and love. Thank you! ❤️

I love the healthy information I receive on this podcast. It is so helpful in my health journey.

I love this show. Let me tell you why: -Straightforward -Easy to Consume Information -Consistent Content -Multiple perspectives Mari makes her podcast a comfortable space for everyone. She is thoughtful and through with her questions during each interview with her guests. Somehow she makes wellness no longer feel overwhelming, yet instead it feels encouraging as if she is there with you each step of the journey. I couldn’t recommend this show more for anyone at any level of their wellness journey. Thank you Mari and Fi for all that you do, you’re truly making an impact. ✨

I love listening to POW it is my favorite podcast that I look forward to every week. I really enjoying hearing from the experts Mari brings on and I love that she includes people who have opposing ideas. This allows us as the listeners to form our own opinions about what we want our health and wellness to look like !! 🤩🤩

I have been a wellness girly for years now, but listening to Mari has awakened a whole new passion of mine!! I feel like I’ve learned so much and have already implemented changes. When I first found this podcast, I binged it for a week straight to get caught up! Thank you for all you do Mari!!❤️ You are far from finished with the impact you’re making. 🌎
