Do you ever feel like you've lost your sense of wellness in the middle of motherhood and daily responsibilities? In this episode of The Purpose Driven Mom Podcast, Cara talks with entrepreneur and wellness founder Arjita Sethi about how moms can reconnect with themselves in a way that feels simple and personal.
Arjita opens up about her journey through entrepreneurship, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and the burnout that pushed her to rethink the way moms approach wellness. These experiences led her to create Shaanti, a tool that uses AI to help women understand their unique body type and make wellness choices that fit the season they are in.

Episode 492 marks the first episode of 2026 on the Purpose Driven Mom Show, and Cara Harvey is kicking off the new year with a refreshing approach to goal-setting that moves away from hustle culture and perfectionism. In this episode, Cara introduces the concept of micro momentum—tiny, doable actions that help overcome resistance and create forward motion without overwhelm. Rather than pushing for massive changes, she encourages sustainable starts that fit real life, especially for busy moms balancing home, work, and personal goals.
Drawing on her background as a former special education teacher and productivity coach, Cara shares practical, brain-friendly strategies to help listeners get unstuck and build confidence through small wins. From the 30-second start method to anchoring new habits to existing routines, this episode offers actionable tools to help listeners show up consistently, even when motivation fades. Episode 492 sets the tone for 2026 by reminding moms that progress begins with starting small—and that showing up matters more than doing things perfectly.
