Have you ever read or heard about the harmful effects cortisol can have on the body? While it does serve as a protection mechanism for the body during a stressful or urgent situation, it can lead to having a negative impact on your health over time as a result of chronic stress. 

If you are a mama who tends to feel stressed daily, worries "too much," or tends to be anxious most of the day, you'll want to tune into this episode!

In this episode, I'll share how cortisol impacts your health overtime, as well as, ten natural ways you can help reduce your cortisol levels.

Have you had an ongoing struggle with your weight? Are you constantly going from one diet to the next and experiencing yo/yo cycling with your weight? Have you ever thought that losing weight will help you get "healthier?"

You're not alone! I spent 10 years of my life trying to find the "diet" that would get the results I wanted. That led to weight regain, imbalance in my hormones, under nourishing my body through little calories, not feeling "good enough" in my body, obsessing and thinking too much about food, and overexercising. 

It's taken me years to heal my relationship with food, exercise, and my body image. One component that has helped me on my journey is UNLEARNING the belief that weight = health and instead discovering what a weight neutral, holistic approach  to health is. 

If you're tired of stressing over your weight, dieting, and weight cycling up and down with weight gain, then I encourage you to grab a notepad and pen and join me for a chat! 

In this episode, I'm going to introduce you to a different approach you can take with your health so you can finally have less anxiety about your weight and gain more energy instead!

Healthy habits can take time to build and sustain just like it will take time to "get rid" of unwanted habits that you no longer want to have. We've adopted all kinds of habits from childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and even through motherhood.  Have you ever considered what habits are beneficial and non-beneficial for your health and well-being? It starts with increasing your self-awareness!

In this episode I share the health habits I'm working on changing as well as the health and wellness habits I'm working on to maintain in my life. 

Tune in with me, grab a notepad and pen for some self-reflection questions towards the end of the show.

Welcome to Herstory is Medicine — formerly A Mother's Journey to Holistic Health and Healing. 

I'm Marissa — mom of three, holistic wellness coach, registered dietitian, energy healing practitioner, and student of herbal medicine.

If you've ever felt the quiet pull to heal more deeply, to trust and reconnect with your body, to break a cycle before it reaches your children — you're in the right place.

Every woman carries a story in her body. Passed down. Inherited. Oftentimes unspoken. Here, we share it and honor it. 

There are seasons when faith, hope, and trust feel hard to hold onto. And it's often in someone else's story that we remember healing is possible for us too. This is medicine for our heart, body, mind, and spirit. 

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, 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.

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.

This is a sacred space to guide you in remembering your wholeness. 

If this resonates, grab yourself a cup of tea and join us here. I'm honored to walk alongside you on this journey. Together let's take mindful and intentional action towards living healthier, happier, more present, and purposeful lives!
