A Mother's Journey to Holistic Health & Healing
Welcome to A Mother’s Journey to Holistic Health and Healing – A holistic wellness podcast for moms who want to nurture their mind, body, and spirit while navigating the challenges of motherhood and modern life.
I’m your host, Marissa Prieto. I am mom of 3 young amazing children, a holistic well-being coach, registered dietitian, energy healing practitioner, and student of herbal medicine.
Through empowering conversations, holistic healing practices, and powerful stories, this podcast helps mothers reclaim their energy, trust their inner wisdom, and create a life rooted in balance, peace, and purpose.
We'll explore topics such as mental and emotional health, spirituality, soul-aligned living, nervous system support, challenges in motherhood, breaking generational cycles, deep healing, and so much 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 a mother heals, generations heal.
Imagine a life where you are confidently taking imperfect action tending to your health and well-being mind, body, heart, and soul. A life where you are in tune with your body and honoring it by giving it what it needs without guilt.
This space is for the mother who feels the call to heal, grow, and reconnect with herself on a deeper level — because when you heal, it ripples through your children, your family, and the world.
You’ll leave each episode feeling empowered to show up for yourself – mind, body, and soul.
Together let's take mindful and intentional action towards living healthier, happier, more present, and purposeful lives!

53. Practicing Presence in a Fast-Paced World: Why It Matters for Modern Motherhood

My son’s 8th birthday just passed… and it reminded me how quickly childhood moves.
How are they growing this fast?
The truth is, motherhood feels like a blur sometimes. Not because we don’t love our children — but because we’re exhausted and busy. Overstimulated. Living in a culture that keeps us in constant “go mode.”
In this episode, I’m reflecting on what celebrating another year of my son’s life revealed to me about practicing presence — and why it feels so hard in today’s world.
Because we were raised in systems that trained us to:
- Measure our worth by productivity
- Prioritize productivity over connection
- Push through exhaustion
- Override our bodies
And those systems don’t support regulated nervous systems. They don’t prioritize maternal mental health. They don’t protect mothers. They don’t honor slowness, rest, or sacred connection.
So when you struggle to be present, it’s not because you’re failing. It’s conditioning. You were conditioned to survive in environments that disconnect you from your body and your children.
Inside this episode, we explore:
- How practicing presence supports nervous system healing
- Why modern systems keep mothers overstimulated and disconnected
- The holistic health benefits of slowing down
- How presence reduces overwhelm and mom guilt
- The spiritual impact of choosing gratitude, compassion, and conscious connection
- Simple, realistic ways to be more present — even in a fast-paced world
Practicing presence isn’t about being a perfect mom.
It’s about reclaiming your nervous system and your joy.
It’s about choosing connection over conditioning.
It’s truly an act of resistance.
If you’ve been feeling depleted, anxious, or stretched thin, this episode will gently remind you: you’re not broken. You’re navigating systems that were never designed to support mothers.
And you can begin reclaiming your presence one breath at a time.
