The Nourished Woman with Keri Marino
The Nourished Woman Podcast is a space for self-aware women who have done the inner work — and still want to feel more confident, steady, and at home in their bodies.
Hosted by Keri Marino, Women’s Empowerment Yoga Therapist, somatic mentor, and mama of three, this show explores what real embodied confidence looks like in everyday life.
Through honest solo reflections and grounded conversations with thoughtful guests, Keri weaves together women’s empowerment yoga, emotion & nervous system regulation, trauma healing, spiritual devotion, and conscious relationships.
These aren’t performative empowerment talks. They’re real conversations about rebuilding self-trust after life knocks you sideways. About staying in your body when it would be easier to disappear. About using yoga — not as a workout — but as a relationship with yourself.
You’ll hear stories of women healing from sexual trauma, navigating marriage and motherhood, tending to chronic health issues, deepening intuition, and building sovereignty through small, daily embodied practices.
If you’re craving:
• Nervous system steadiness
• Emotional resilience
• Spiritual depth without dogma
• Confidence that feels earned, not forced
You’re in the right place.
New episodes twice monthly.
