A Mother's Journey to Holistic Health & Healing

🎙️Welcome to A Mother’s Journey to Holistic Health and Healing – a space where busy moms like you can pause, breathe, and reconnect with yourself! I’m your host, Marissa Prieto. I am mom of 3 young amazing children, a holistic well-being coach, registered dietitian, and energy healing practitioner. This podcast is here to empower you to prioritize your well-being, tune into your body’s wisdom, and discover simple, practical ways to create balance, energy, and peace in your life. We'll explore topics such as movement, motherhood, mindset, stress management, mindfulness, nutrition, spirituality and more. Along the way, I’ll share my personal health and healing journey, the strategies that have worked for me as a busy mom, and the powerful stories of other moms who’ve transformed their lives. Because when we share our journeys, we help each other heal. This podcast is a space for you to get the tools, support, and inspiration you need on your journey to help you create your best, healthiest self without guilt. Imagine a life where you are confidently taking imperfect action tending to your health and wellness. A life where you are in tune with your body and honoring it by giving it what it needs. If you're a busy mom wanting to learn more about holistic wellness and discover practical ways to build and sustain healthy habits for the long-term, then I invite you to take a few minutes for yourself and join me for a chat.

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
