"As my health, happiness, relationships, and professional life improved significantly, I recalled my mother’s struggles with anxiety and depression when she was raising me, and I wondered if meditation might be an especially great tool for new moms."

Mark Krassner is the founder and CEO of Expectful, the meditation app for fertility, pregnancy, and parenthood. Since its founding, Expectful has partnered with several universities to conduct research on the relationship between a mother’s mind and her baby’s health.

Mark talks to me about why he, a single young man, who doesn’t have kids of his own, became passionate about how meditation could benefit a mother and her unborn child. We discuss how he came to his own meditation practice in his 20’s and how it pivoted his career from an entrepreneur into a social entrepreneur.

"As my health, happiness, relationships, and professional life improved significantly, I recalled my mother’s struggles with anxiety and depression when she was raising me, and I wondered if meditation might be an especially great tool for new moms."

Mark dug into research papers and found the harmful effects of maternal anxiety and depression on the baby. He also found evidence that meditation could help with fertility, pregnancy, and maternal health. Mark wanted to transform the lives of parents and the next generation so he put together a team and created meditations.
