Mothers sacrifice so much of themselves to carry another human being in their body for nine months. Even after childbirth, there's a phase called the fourth trimester because babies are still heavily dependent on moms for their survival. Motherhood looks different for every woman. For Anastasia, who is a first-time mom, motherhood looked particularly different since her family is overseas and she's also running Young Goose with Amitay. Yet, there's something unique when a biohacker becomes a mom that new moms can learn from. In this Young Goose Mother's Day Special, we celebrate every mother who gives selflessly to their family. We also take a peek into Anastasia's life as a new mom, what changed in her body and mindset, and how she maintained her self-care while taking care of the family and the business. This episode will make you realize that it takes a village to raise a kid, but it takes a great mom to raise a kid and still come back to herself. Because the only way she can show up fully for others is when she can show up for herself first. What's Discussed: (3:11) Who Anastasia was before motherhood: the risk-taker who crossed the world.
