“A three-minute practice can change how creative and connected you feel as a mother.”

In this episode, neuroscientist Emilia explains how mothers can use simple, physiology-based practices to regulate stress, improve creativity, and support emotional balance. We explore:

• What “biohacking” really means for everyday moms
• How minimalism reduces environmental stress
• The heart–brain connection explained simply
• A three-minute breath technique to support coherence
• How these tools can shift confidence and resilience in motherhood
• This conversation focuses on practical, accessible strategies rooted in physiology—not complicated systems or spiritual practices.

About Emilia |

Emilia Ferreira is a neuroscientist and keynote speaker who helps mothers understand how early conditioning shapes perception—and how conscious rewiring allows mothers to opens access to deep intuition and super learning and purpose in motherhood.

She is the founder of Raising Ona, a neuroscience-based platform and neuro-coaching lab with extensive hands-on work supporting mothers across caregiving, business, and personal leadership. Her protocols are shaped by both this fieldwork and her own tracked biology; at age 42, her biomarkers align with those typically seen around age 25.

She is also a storyteller, writer, and film director whose documentary work includes profiles of the 14th Dalai Lama, aerospace pioneer Ozires Silva, agroforestry innovator Ernst Götsch, and advocate Katie Fischer, whose work helped legalize medical marijuana for pediatric care.
