Welcome to the Peaceful Power Podcast and today we are chatting with Marissa Vicario on learning how to embrace life without being on a diet.

Introduction

We wrap up our nutrition month with learning how to approach your food choices without feeling the need to be on a diet. Marissa was someone Apyrl Schlueter introduced me to this past year. I thought she would be the perfect guest to introduce the concepts from her book and how more women can learn to trust themselves rather than the next fad trend. Do you see a trend this month? All of my guests have taken this approach and let me tell you it works

LEarn My Story

My work is rooted in the belief that healing is not linear, but cyclical—like the seasons, like the womb. I help women reclaim their vitality through the sacred tools of Ayurveda, embodied movement, and intuitive rituals drawn from Mother Nature herself.

After the birth of my first son in 2016, Ayurveda became more than a practice—it became my lifeline. The postpartum window cracked me open and reoriented my path, deepening my devotion to supporting women in every season of life—from the fertile soil of postpartum to the sacred shifts of midlife.

I’m also the host of the Peaceful Power Podcast, where I explore how ancient wisdom meets modern life, and the author of two books on cyclical living—Divine Body Wisdom and Ayurvedic Approach to Healing Your Menstrual Cycle.

When I’m not in sacred space with clients, you can find me playing tennis, watching Hallmark mysteries, sipping my morning coffee with reverence, or adventuring on nature trails with my two boys and husband.
