ALIVE with Jessica Schiller: Heal Your Inner Child + Ancestral Trauma

In a time of collective chaos, how do we stay grounded, let alone work on raising our frequency that we emit to the world?

It seems like such a tall order, but today's guest, JJ DiGeronimo has a beautifully enlightening perspective on frequency alignment, and how to learn the lessons of our collective and individual "tower" moments.

The tower card in Tarot symbolizes the castle crumbling, a complete destruction of what was, the ultimate goal being a cleansing of what is no longer part of your Soul's path to rebuild anew, a phoenix rising type energy.

To release the stale, the tattered, the torn pieces within you that are blocking your energetic centers from rising above what is keeping you down.

JJ gives a fresh perspective on these crossroad moments in our lives where we ask, "What is this all for, why now, why this" and lean into our intuition without judgement to hear the whispers within.

To practice the great words of Holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl in Man's Search for Meaning, the concept of the "space between thoughts".

In Frankl's words, “Between the stimulus and response, there is a space. And in that space lies our freedom and power to choose our responses. In our response lies our growth and our freedom” (Frankl, 1946)

Who better to learn this than from a man who survived the horrors of the Holocaust of which we are reliving again as Jews in the modern-day world.

What will you choose?
What is calling you?
How will you take this moment by moment?
What will release you from the chains that bind you?

In a time when the world feels incredibly broken, amidst my own internal traumas coming alive day to day, I am finding it incredibly healing to hold space for fellow healers, and in doing so, to REMIND YOU OF WHO YOU ARE.

In this beautiful conversation, I had the honor to connect with the creative force behind the Cosmic Collage brand, @cosmiccollage, that I have followed and embodied in my spiritual practice over the years.

In a time when the collective sense of safety and security, our Root chakra, has been clouded with the tragedies of terrOri$m, the questions of "Am I safe?" continue to arise, as has been so prevalent for the triggers and traumas of Lori Menna and her spiritual path. I know we can all resonate with this right now.

This is a calling for us all to return to our creativity (when we are able to), the Cosmic Collage within that is your own divine design.

"This the thing that will transform this energy, this darkness, the alchemizing of our anger...." - Lori Menna

I hope you enjoy this episode of acknowledging and feeling into our darkness and transmuting this energy as alchemy. 

This Carl Jung quote embodies the spirit of Lori Menna + Cosmic Collage.

In a time when I am finding it so hard to put how I feel in words, I was blessed to have my first guest interview since the October 7th attacks on Israel with a woman I met in a trauma healing community, Jill Pagano.

Jill is the host of The Power of Expression pod and this conversation felt so fitting for the times we are living through as to how important the "power of expression" is RIGHT NOW, at least for those of us who are called to this mission. 

From the moment I remember hearing some of Jill's childhood trauma stories, I felt instantly connected to her at a Soul level, and this conversation was the first time we both met live to share each other's experiences and why a deep level of awareness is calling us now to break the cycle of our robotic nature as a collective, and ask ourselves some of these powerful questions to fully awaken: 

• How robotic am I? 
• What is my routine, do I even have one? 
• What is my self care? 
• How do I handle challenge?
• What triggers me? Why? 

Just pause. Deep breath. Hand on your heart....connect inward. 

In the beautiful words of Jill Pagano in this episode, "listening to this pod is a first step"! 

Thank you for supporting our collective missions of the power of expression! 

XOXO,
Jessica

In light of the recent tragic events in Israel, I am taking a moment to honor World Mental Health Day and share with you my listeners what is on my heart. Mental health affects all of us. 1 in 4 suffer everyday. I vow to say this stat is probably an understatement. 

I myself am doing the best I can to show up + spread truth while honoring my own mental health. However, I am finding myself at a loss for words. 

Seeing people deny our reality is heartbreaking and perpetuates this collective trauma. 

This is why I’m ALIVE. 

If my grandparents hadn’t survived the Nazis in the Holocaust I wouldn’t be here to share this message. 

Why ALIVE to me is such a powerful word. 

I’ve lived an entire life as a Jew where our very existence has been challenged time and again.

Sending you all so much grace to whatever you are feeling right now. Hold yourself with deep compassion in knowing just being there for you right now is ENOUGH.

Much love.

Continuing with the conversation of how to deal with uncertainty from the last episode, today I speak on how to find emotional freedom and liberate yourself from the need to know.

From a spiritual perspective, unknowing is where you free yourself from the constant connection to logic and the physical world of societal expectations and surrender to the feminine flow of the Divine Mother and let Spirit guide your path.

I recorded this episode from a very wounded place, but it is in these moments that one surrenders to Spirit to allow whatever is meant to move through me to be shared with you, a live example of the theme of this episode. I let go of the expectations of what I had planned, the constant mind chatter of whether or not this episode would be everything I had intended, and just allowed myself to release the chains that bind me emotionally to record and just RELEASE.

This is a metaphor for life, as the great Mark Twain says, The trouble with the world is not that people know too little; it's that they know so many things that just aren't so. — Mark Twain

Therefore, I challenge you to let go of your expectations today and see what unfolds for you in the experience of listening to this episode. Would love to know what comes up for you, DM here on Instagram.

Many blessings!

Uncertainty is very unsettling. It is human nature to want to know what lies ahead, and how to best protect yourself in situations that arise as anxiety.

If you have experienced trauma in your life, there's an added layer to uncertainty in the form of hypervigilance, which is when you're constantly on high alert for potential threats around you, even if it's not a physical threat. The feeling of being a canary in a coalmine! (Love the song, not the feeling)

The elevation of your mental and survival state becomes your modus operandi in that moment.

But it doesn't have to when you know how to deal with uncertainty and the anxiety that comes with it.

This description may seem very sobering, but I know more than anything the feeling of being so crippled by the uncertainty that just moving through your day feels hard, where you feel frozen (literally!) and have no energy or insight as to how to move forward from this state of being.

Inspired by my own personal experience this past month, this episode unlocks 5 ways to deal with uncertainty + see the signs amidst the chaos that surrounds you.

To give yourself permission to feel all the feels, and not gaslight yourself and your experience as the world often does - and learn how to wildly LOVE yourself in the process of transformation and healing.

To know as Kacey Musgraves says in one of my fave songs, "there is always be a rainbow hanging over your head"...and that clouds are always passing, never here to stay.

Sending you wild love through this!!! If you feel called to continue this conversation with me, please send me a message here. I love to connect with my listeners. This is why I do this, to be the rainbow above someone's head as I would have wanted in my storm.

XOXO,
Jess

Are you tired of staying small just to fit in, and feel like you belong? If so, this episode will evoke inside of you the feeling that "you are safe to take up space" and MAKE SOME NOISE!

Today's guest, DeAhn Robbins, is a mindset + empowerment coach who after years of living the labels, has learned what it means to BEGIN LIVING BOLD, to live out loud unapologetically and hang her freak flag HIGH!

She always felt like something was missing, her uniqueness, her inner power, and her JOY in living by feeling obligated and giving away her power to "go along to get along".

In her beautiful words, "When you don't use your voice, you give away your power." 

She shares invaluable wisdom on what inner power truly means, and how to begin in small steps to take your power back. To release the chains of perfectionism and societal pressures to motivate, and not restrict you, and surrender the harsh self critic within you.

A must-listen for anyone who has felt like a people pleaser, and truly desires to take steps towards asking for what YOU need, and living for yourself unapologetically!

After this hour, you will finally FEEL SAFE TO TAKE UP SPACE.  

About DeAhn Robbins:

De Ahn Robbins is a mindset and empowerment coach living out her passion by helping women recognize and re-ignite her authentic self (her inner power) and understand how to integrate that into the life of her choosing.

After accomplishing all of the things she felt she “should” do in her life in order to be successful and happy - earning her degree, getting married, raising two amazing children., and having a long and successful career, it always felt like something was missing or not quite right. 

Through her personal inner work and journey, she found the missing link ~ she forgot to choose “herself” as well.  De Ahn began living her life of joy and contentment by living her life through the lens of “could” ~ without limiting herself to what’s possible in the “should.” She now lovingly speaks her truth, prioritizes her needs and boundaries, and takes up all of her divinely given space in this world. 

She finally feels SAFE to take up space! And it is her soul’s desire to help other women feel the same.  To live the life of their choosing feeling fulfilled and empowered.

Living in today's world can be incredibly overwhelming, on top of what you already carry in your own personal life + past traumas. There are some days I feel so consumed by it all, especially being a highly sensitive soul and empath, that I have to completely disconnect to hear my own voice and Soul's needs and desires.

But what if I told you that all of this can be transmuted for you to find the "magic in the mess"? What if those feelings of overwhelm, or emptiness inside are just the physical and emotional body's natural intelligence letting you know that "something needs to shift"...before it becomes a bigger issue. Or, maybe the challenge is a test of your emotional and spiritual resiliency, so you can work this muscle, just as you would physically to train your body to perform at its peak?

Without a healthy dose of stress, one cannot taste the sweetness. Where this can become "chronic" is when the stress reaches what is called its "allostatic load" which is the cumulative burden of stress + life events.

In this solo episode, I uncover 5 powerful ways to uncover the magic in your mess. To guide your perspective towards a new level of consciousness that transmutes your energy from hurting to healing. To learn how to embrace the "messy middle" on your journey towards living in alignment with your Soul's true longings, and tune out the noise of what society says you SHOULD be, towards understanding that your body + Spirit already knows the way.

Failure is simply a sign that your energy + efforts will result in a desired outcome sooner or later, just not in the expected timeline we as humans feel is REAL. Surrender to Spirit, and know there is a purpose to the pause. Healing is happening.

Storms don't last forever.

Stay tuned till the end where I pull a card for you from my Inner Star Magic deck to give you clarity in all the confusion!

Where is the magic in your mess?  DM me on Instagram to continue the conversation! 

*I am also reviving my Live Vibrant Sisterhood this Fall, and calling all sisters who feel drawn to collective healing in a sacred space where you can truly be yourself. To be deeply held to find the magic in your mess and release past trauma to find FREEDOM within your psyche and Spirit. To rise to your VIBRANT intelligence within and around you.

There are so many things you don't know until you know. As a sensitive child, no one taught you how to navigate life and deal with the emotions you are feeling, the same way we learn the ABC's.

 As we grow older, this translates into carrying these emotions within the physical body, but again - often not knowing what's happening inside of you, other than feeling "something is amiss", or beginning to open to the signs around you.

In this episode, Athena Monet brings her Shamanic wisdom to uncover what this looks like, and how to see the signs of a "breakdown" so you can shift into a state of "breakthrough" which is where you have agency, and freedom of choice to live a different reality.

Awareness brings wisdom, and through this wisdom, you can see life with new eyes, and CHOOSE differently. This is the Shamanic way, to first uncover what has been weighing you down physically to discover the emotional + spiritual body underneath the pain.

Ultimately, Athena shares, it is about bringing you back home to yourself, in classic Alice in Wonderland style!

Listen now to open yourself to curiosity, wonder, and the modern magic that the Seaside Shaman has gifted you today!

Who were you as a child, and how does that reflect who you are today?

From a trauma-informed perspective, inner child healing is a beautiful practice of falling in love with yourself and knowing and LOVING your inner child.

In this episode, my special guest Jana Wilson shares a wealth of knowledge on the concept of the Wise Little One and unearthing the wounded child within each of us.

Triggers are the inner child at play, and when you can access your child, or even through the work of past life regression, as Jana speaks to, you can "unhook" from your parent of the past to call forth the nectar of reparenting yourself with the love, grace, and care you never had.

Jana shares her powerful testimony here on the show as she does in her memoir, Wise Little One, a deeply personal journey of triumph over childhood trauma and the transformative power of connecting with one's inner child.

Wise Little One is a guidebook for anyone who seeks to rediscover their authentic self. Jana's heartfelt anecdotes and practical advice offer invaluable tools for self-reflection, self-care, and cultivating a loving relationship with yourself. Through her own journey, she shows us how to harness the power of self-compassion, forgiveness, and resilience to overcome and learn from the past to manifest an inspiring future.

Words cannot do this episode justice, as Jana's energy and wisdom is infused with  GOLD that evoke a sense of reconnection not just to your inner child, but to help heal your heart that holds so much.

The heart has 5,000 times the signals to the brain, as the brain does to the heart. Let this episode heal your heart. 

Use memory, don’t allow memory to use you.” ~ Deepak Chopra
