A renowned nutritionist, chef, author, and now host of ‘The Ultimate Baby Podcast’, Marni was last on the show back when she was still pregnant with her beautiful daughter sharing her courageous transition from veganism to living life to the fullest. Well, her sweet girl Sarelle has now just turned one, and Marni has returned to share her detailed account of life from pre-pregnancy to post-birth. It is intimate, it is intense, and, above all, it is a beautiful story of a health-filled journey through the highs and lows of this miracle of creating life, and Marni shares it all so very openly with listeners today.
