We will continue to honor our hunger for more and nourish our bodies, minds, and spirits to become fully nourished. Connect with Jessica:Have Sunday tea with me!

1Last week I shared about my spiritual journey and when we left off, I was entrenched in my bitterness and overwhelming disappointment with the church. I had lost all trust in myself as well as in this institution that had been a huge part of my life.Which leads me to this week and the resources I’d promised to provide for how I dug myself out of that place. First of all, it took a while, but as my body and soul started to heal, I realized that God had never left me. God did not leave me...
I’m going to shoot it to you straight. I struggled with what I wanted to say for the next couple of episodes. I had this vague idea of a topic and it just felt wrong. So instead of going with it, I went with my gut and posted one of those “True or False” posts on Instagram. One of you wrote, “True or False: You used to be a Christian and now your beliefs are more New Age” and I think so many people were surprised when I said False. Throughout this season we’ve touched on my spiritua...
The results are in from the poll on social media! I asked, and you answered, and I'm diving in today to talk about social media and how it shapes the way we view our health. It will come as no surprise based on our discussions about social media in episodes past, but there is an overwhelming majority of women who feel that they are the farthest they have ever been from their health, even amidst the flood of health and wellness information that inundates social media platforms.So why is t...
As we near the end of the season, I wanted to touch on the importance of macro minerals in our bodies and what can happen when they fall out of balance. Minerals are key to our cellular functions and are tightly woven into our hormones for regulation. The combination of water, minerals, hormones, and cofactors all work together seamlessly and require a delicate balance to function appropriately.So what happens when our macro minerals are out of balance? And what impact can stress play on our ...
We talked last time about balancing our blood sugar, what an important role it plays in the nourishment of our bodies, and the impact it has on how we manage our stress. Glucose is key to the body’s function, and we need carbohydrates for our cells to function appropriately to allow us to go deeper in our journey to healing.Nourishment is an initiation. It is just the beginning of the healing that our bodies need to experience, but we can’t begin to heal without being in a place of nourishmen...
With the rise in diet fads such as fasting and ketogenic diets, it is crucial to understand the role that glucose plays in our bodies and how nourishing our cells at a metabolic level is the key to moving away from stress and burnout.Balancing your blood sugar appropriately on a cellular level is different from how social media trends tell you to manage your blood sugar. They almost want you to think of blood sugar and insulin as bad. But there are no bad hormones! Insulin is responsible for ...
We’re back for Part 2 of our discussion on Beautiful vs The Beauty Standard, and today, we’re talking about Vanity vs Wisdom and how the beauty standard has upended our values as a society. In many of my episodes, I talk about social media and the damage it has on us as women for many reasons, and the standard of beauty is absolutely one of them. The culture of vanity that we see from influencers on social media is one that shapes our perspectives of ourselves. These influencers gen...
The pressure to be beautiful has been a battle that women have been fighting for the last century. Beauty standards have shifted in so many different ways over the last several decades, and women have always been searching for ways to fit the standard that society has created for them to be identified as “beautiful.”Tune in today to dive deeper into what true beauty is and how it contrasts with the beauty standard of society. You are beautiful, regardless of how you align with today’s beauty ...
We’re back for part two of our discussion about feminine libido!In our last episode, we touched on many of the spiritual factors that need to be taken into account when we’re looking at our libido. If we are not in a state of feminine energy, we will struggle with our libidos. This is a constant struggle with the pressures that have been pushed on us by society over the past several decades. In order for us to truly understand our libido, we must first nourish ourselves on a nutrit...
The female libido is one of the most requested topics in this community, so we’re diving in head-first today to look at the deeper intricacies of the female libido and the different physiological factors that influence it. It’s no secret that hormones play a huge role in our physiology and, likewise, in our libido. While much of society is experiencing difficulties with sex drive and libido, they are often looking for a band-aid fix rather than diving deeper to understand the “why” behin...
Boundaries have been a hot topic for quite a while in the health and wellness space. One of the ways that we misunderstand boundaries is that, rather than imposing our feelings on someone else under the guise of a “boundary,” boundaries should really be more about understanding where the line lies between one person and another.A prime example of having a firm boundary is when it comes to our feminine power. There are so many mixed messages on social media that portray femininity that do not ...
In our last episode, we talked about this overarching, deep, insatiable hunger for nurturance, guidance, and presence. So many of us desperately needed that growing up, but we lacked the mothering or community that was necessary for us to learn how to nurture ourselves.As women, we often struggle with the fundamental feeling that we are not good enough or we are not doing enough. We operate and behave from what we have learned from previous generations or society, and it puts us on a deeply i...
Healing from trauma is a process that requires a nourished body and a shift into your feminine energy. Many women are finding themselves in a state of burnout in high masculine energy and are struggling to heal from their trauma as a result. We have to shift back to our core nature as women to truly process and heal from our traumas. As women, we desire to feel safe and secure and to have stability in our lives. We often look at our symptoms, such as thin hair, dull skin, and infer...
Over the last few years, trauma healing has come to center stage and gotten a lot of attention. So much so that we’re beginning to label any experience that proved to be difficult as ‘trauma.’ And for experiences that we’ve had that are traumatic, we aren’t healing from it or processing it appropriately. Because of this, our trauma starts to become part of our identity, and instead of moving on, we hold it with us as we move through life. When we are in a state of burnout, we think ...
I dive head first into burnout this week and break down what burnout is and what it does to our bodies on a deeper level. Burnout puts us in a state of fight or flight, and for those of us who have been experiencing burnout for several years, the physiological effects can be extreme. For women, burnout comes as a consequence of operating in a state of masculine energy for a prolonged period of time. For some of us, this goes back years and years into our pasts, where we have been trying ...
