The Discerning Mother
The Discerning Mother is a faith-based podcast for women seeking nervous system regulation, emotional healing, and deeper peace. This podcast is for women who feel chronically exhausted, overwhelmed, or disconnected, and who sense that their stress is not a personal failure, but a nervous system that has been carrying too much for too long. Motherhood is approached here as a sacred, embodied vocation, and healing begins by restoring the mind, body, and soul to God’s original design.
Hosted by Brigid Tebaldi, a mother and board-certified women’s health coach The Discerning Mother Podcast offers conversations rooted in nervous system health, Catholic faith, women’s hormones, and embodied discernment. This show speaks directly to mothers who feel overstimulated, anxious, or braced in daily life, even while living the life they prayed for.
Each episode explores how nervous system regulation supports emotional resilience, clarity, and presence in motherhood, marriage, and daily vocation. Rather than teaching women to push harder or manage symptoms, this podcast focuses on healing the root causes of chronic stress, restoring safety in the body, and learning how to live motherhood with peace, confidence, and trust in God.
