Real Talk on Motherhood, Postpartum Skin, and Rebuilding from the Inside Out with Anastasia Khodzhaeva

Real Talk on Motherhood, Postpartum Skin, and Rebuilding from the Inside Out with Anastasia Khodzhaeva

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.
  • (6:03) Why Anastasia loves a small circle and how she protects it.
  • (10:09) Why Anastasia went back to work early, and the regret she wants other new moms to avoid.
  • (12:00) Why motherhood is the hardest thing she has ever done, more than building a company.
  • (15:49) How motherhood flipped the dynamic: why the assertive co-CEO becomes the soft parent.
  • (25:26) Postpartum breakouts, cortisol, and why her skin told the story before anything else did.
  • (29:25) What her early postpartum self-care actually looked like.
  • (30:33) The non-negotiables: PEMF mat, lymphatic drainage suit, and red light therapy.
  • (34:04) Anastasia's postpartum bounce-back stack: spermidine, NAD+, and PC.
  • (1:58) How a biohacker reconnects with a body that no longer feels like her own.
  • (4:05) The self-massage course that changed everything.
  • (5:42) What self-care actually looks like in this season of motherhood.
  • (10:02) Redefining energy as a mother: capacity, limits, and the cost of burnout.
  • (16:01) Mindfulness as a skincare tool: why lowering cortisol shows up on your face.
  • (26:06) The 20-minute practice that can stand in for hours of lost sleep.
  • (27:45) The 4-7-8 breathing technique for moms who do not have 20 minutes.
  • (43:28) Advice for new moms who feel self-care is unrealistic in this season.
  • (43:45) The reframe that changes what self-care means for a new mom forever.
