About Mary Hendricks:
Mary Hendricks is Stay At Home Mom and Social Media Influencer, you may have seen her on Instagram as A Very Mary Life.
Mary always knew she wanted to be a mom, and likely in-home caring for them, as seen by the excellent example her mother provided. Until she had her own children, Mary worked hard to create a career she was passionate about.
She spent time in pharmaceutical marketing, the startup world, she refurbished and sold furniture, and went on to become a personal trainer.
When Mary became a mom, the responsibility of having a career as a personal trainer as well as caring for children wasn’t something in which she found balance in and thus she chose the thing that gave her the ultimate career satisfaction - being a full time stay at home mom.
After her second child was born, in 2020, Mary struggled with postpartum depression. Along with COVID, it was beyond overwhelming. She turned to Instagram to live her life out loud and find kinship in a community she knew would be supportive and likely had experienced similar circumstances.
