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.

    61. Moving to Mexico as a Family: Healing Through Culture & Reconnecting with Our Roots

    Please share your thoughts about how you felt about the episode and/or podcast! In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Jessica Cuevas, founder of Viva La Mami, podcaster, coach, speaker, and mother of two, to explore her family's courageous decision to leave the United States and move to Mexico in search of a more aligned, culturally connected way of life. After spending her entire life in the U.S., Jessica felt called to reconnect with her Mexican roots, create a different future for her children, and redefine what success, motherhood, and belonging truly meant for her family. Together, we discuss the emotional, mental, and spiritual journey of making such a life-changing decision, the realities of moving abroad with young children, the challenges of navigating identity and culture, and the healing that can emerge when we reconnect with our heritage. This conversation is about courage, motherhood, generational healing, cultural reclamation, and trusting yourself enough to create a life that feels like home. In this episode, we get into: • Why Jessica chose to leave the United States • Reconnecting with Mexican culture and identity • The emotional realities of moving abroad with children • Motherhood, healing, and generational change • Redefining success outside societal expectations • Building community and belonging in a new place • Navigating fear, uncertainty, through the process of relocating Connect with Jessica Viva La Mami PodcastJessica Cuevas on InstagramJessica's WebsiteIf you are feeling called to work together and would like more information about my services, I invite you to apply to work with me using the link below. https://beacons.page/marissaprieto If you would like to share your holistic health and healing journey on the podcast, please email me at marissaprieto.holisticcoaching@gmail.com Connect with me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/holistichealthcoachingformoms/ Access my free guided meditations on You Tube: www.youtube.com/@MindfulMeditationswithMarissa Loved this episode?

    60. Tarot as a Healing Modality: Somatics & Motherhood with Sonia Fregoso

    Please share your thoughts about how you felt about the episode and/or podcast! In today’s episode, I’m welcoming back Sonia Fregoso for an inspiring and soul-expanding conversation around motherhood, intuition, somatics, and tarot as a healing modality. When Sonia first came on the podcast, she vulnerably shared her journey healing from childhood sexual trauma through somatic work, spirituality, and plant medicine-assisted psychedelic therapy while navigating pregnancy after infertility. Now, one year later, she returns in a completely new season — motherhood, deeper spiritual embodiment, and the creation of a beautiful oracle deck she co-created with her sister. Together, we explore how tarot can become a powerful tool for self-awareness, nervous system healing, intuition, reflection, and ancestral connection rather than something to fear. Sonia also shares how her work has evolved, what motherhood has taught her about healing, and the intention behind creating a deck rooted in wisdom, healing, and reconnection. This conversation is for anyone navigating healing, burnout, identity shifts, motherhood, spirituality, or the desire to reconnect back to themselves in a deeper way. In this episode we talk about: ✨ Tarot as a healing modality & the misconceptions ✨ Somatic healing & nervous system work ✨ Healing trauma & reconnecting to intuition ✨ Motherhood & identity shifts ✨ The creation of Sonia’s new tarot deck ✨ Reclaiming self-trust  If this episode resonates with you, show some love subscribe, leave a review, and share with someone who may need this conversation today!

    58. Motherhood Changed Everything: Redefining Health, Body Image & Wellness with Roxanne Horta

    Please share your thoughts about how you felt about the episode and/or podcast! What if the way you’ve been taught to care for your body… was never designed for motherhood? In this episode, I’m joined by Roxy, a holistic therapist and coach supporting Latina women and mothers over 30. With 15 years in mental health, she shares her personal journey from a controlling relationship with nutrition and fitness to a more compassionate, sustainable approach after becoming a mom of two. We explore how motherhood shifts your identity, body, and capacity—and why so many women feel overwhelmed and burned out when they can’t keep up with wellness expectations. We talk about the pressure to “do it all,” the guilt many moms feel when they can’t keep up, and how nervous system regulation, mental health, and cultural influences play a role in burnout. This is a conversation about letting go of perfection, breaking generational patterns, and redefining what health looks like in motherhood. If you’re ready to release perfection and care for yourself in a way that actually supports your life—this episode is for you.
