  66. Your Story Is Allowed to Change

  Aug 18, 202622 min

  Please share your thoughts about how you felt about the episode and/or podcast! In this honest and vulnerable episode, I’m sharing a personal reflection on what it means to outgrow part of our lives—and the quiet, persistent intuition that tells us when it’s time for something to change. I’m also sharing why I made the decision to rename this podcast (tune in to find out what it is) and what this new chapter means to me. For me, this change isn’t about starting over. It’s about honoring the journey I’ve already walked, trusting the woman I’m becoming, and allowing the podcast to evolve alongside me. I talk about intuition, alignment, trusting your soul’s path, letting go of identities and stories that no longer fit, and finding the courage to make changes even when you don’t have all the answers. It's about honoring the wisdom that comes from lived experience, trusting the subtle nudges within us, and giving ourselves permission to evolve. Because our stories aren’t meant to stay the same. They grow. They change. They teach us. And sometimes, the very story we’ve lived becomes the medicine we’re here to share.

  Healing in Relationship with Plants: My Journey One Year Later

  Jul 29, 202629 min

  Please share your thoughts about how you felt about the episode and/or podcast! A year ago, I shared the beginning of my journey into the world of plants and herbalism. At the time, I was learning how to make herbal teas, infused oils, natural skincare, and simple remedies for me and my family. I knew plants held incredible healing properties, but I had no idea how deeply they would transform me from the inside out. In this solo episode, I'm reflecting on where that journey has taken me over the past year. After completing one plant healing program and now continuing my studies in spiritual self-healing, medicine making, and building relationships with plants, my perspective continues to shift. This path has become about so much more than herbs. It's taught me how to slow down, trust my intuition, cultivate presence, and reconnect with nature as a source of wisdom, healing, and guidance. Whether you're curious about herbalism, interested in holistic healing, or simply longing to feel more grounded and connected, I hope this conversation encourages you to see nature in a new way and reminds you that healing often begins with simply paying attention. In this episode, we discuss: Reflecting on where my plant journey began one year ago The difference between using herbs and building relationships with plants What I've learned through plant meditation and spiritual connection How medicine making has become a mindful and intentional practice The emotional and spiritual ways plants have supported my healing Lessons nature continues to teach me about trust, patience, and presence Simple ways to begin reconnecting with the natural world Ready to Nourish Yourself? If this episode inspired you to reconnect with yourself and create a more intentional, nourishing life, I'd love to support you. Through Nourish , I help women build sustainable self-care, strengthen nervous system resilience, reconnect with their intuition, and create lasting change from the inside out.

  64. Career Change, Self-Trust & Honoring the End of a Season

  Jul 14, 202633 min

  Please share your thoughts about how you felt about the episode and/or podcast! There comes a moment in life when what once felt aligned begins to feel complete—not because it was wrong, but because you've grown into a different version of yourself. In this personal episode, I'm sharing the story behind my decision to leaving a company I'd worked with 7 years as a holistic health coach and moving into a new position. This isn't just about changing careers; it's about honoring the seasons of our lives, trusting our intuition, and finding the courage to answer the quiet whispers calling us toward expansion. If you're standing at a crossroads, sensing that something in your life is shifting, or wondering whether it's for a change that supports your evolution, this conversation is for you. In this episode, you'll learn: Why every season of life has a purpose—even the ones we eventually outgrow. How to recognize the difference between fear and your intuition. The power of honoring endings with gratitude while embracing new beginnings. ✨ If you're ready to reconnect with yourself and navigate your own season of transformation with compassionate support, I'd love to walk alongside you. I help women reconnect with themselves and cultivate sustainable, holistic self-care—without guilt—so they can create a life that feels calmer, more intentional, and deeply nourishing from the inside out.

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

  Jun 2, 20261h 8m

  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 Podcast Jessica Cuevas on Instagram Jessica's Website If 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?
