The ALIVE podcast turns 4 today!!! 4 years ago today, on September 18, 2020, I released the very first episode of the podcast with my episode "Come ALIVE with Me" .
Even more significant is the fact that I didn't plan it this way, but the release of this show on the 18th of the month is symbolic of the energy of Chai, or "life" in Hebrew.
What started as a pandemic baby transpired into a true love, but also labour of love to keep my podcast ALIVE (no pun intended!) for 4 years now. There have been countless personal + health challenges, along with the challenge of being a host + managing the podcast for consistent episode releases weekly!
It has taught me the true spirit of resiliency, which is what being ALIVE is about - not always achieving perfection, or sticking to plan - but knowing how to navigate the rough waters of life, of dealing with mental health challenges, or any level of triggering or past traumas.
In this special anniversary episode, I break down each of the last 4 years as this podcast evolved + what I have learned as lessons of resiliency that I am sharing with you today in hopes it helps you on your healing path, and gives you hope in our chaotic world. Let this be your guiding light, your North star, your sacred space to feel SAFE and SEEN, and deeply loved.
And a special thank YOU TO ALL MY LISTENERS FOR KEEPING THIS DREAM ALIVE! It's not easy, but it's ALWAYS WORTH IT!
Come celebrate 4 years with us with the exclusive ALIVE IS MY VIBE collection - click here to check it out!
XOXO,
Jessica

Are you a people pleaser, or just hate to be the one to disappoint others so you say YES, when you really mean NO?
If yes, then this episode is for you to help you BREAK FREE from people pleasing tendencies with 6 easy steps I share with you that will literally change your life, and save you from constantly feeling exhausted, depleted, and resentful for not taking care of your needs first!
I also shed light as to WHY you people please from both a trauma informed + highly sensitive perspective with a nervous system response called "fawning" to avoid conflict and perceived dangers.
What actually happens when you aren't honest in your relationships is that the other person is never sure what to expect, and the level of distrust grows over time.
In other words, people pleasing doesn't help anyone in the long run!!! It's simply a defense mechanism to make you + others feel "safe" and avoid the discomfort of living an honest + aligned life.
As Alanis Morissette says (I share in this episode), "just because you can, doesn't mean you should!"

Are you all over the place, and long to get more organized? Do you have a harsh inner critic that sparks when you try something new? If so, come soak in the Virgo vibes with this episode all about the New Moon in Virgo + how to harness the "Master Planner" of the Zodiac in your life!
As Virgo is known as the Organizer of the Zodiac, this is divine time to get your things in order and try to make your life more functional. This New Moon in Virgo is an invitation to perform our daily tasks in a mindful way, recognize the power of habits, and embrace a service-oriented approach to life.
In this episode, I share 5 ways to harness this powerful energy + help you get organized in Virgo Vibes which will be present for the next few weeks of Virgo season (thru September 22nd!)
For your harsh inner critic, I also tap into how to embrace imperfection (Virgo is a perfectionist!) and cultivate self compassion when setting intentions and organization to shed your self-blaming + sabotaging ways!
As I always say, "There is no right or wrong, just the way that works best for YOU!"

If you experience the same challenges, and find traumatic events continue to control you + your emotional state, this episode will bring you much clarity!
Inspired by the athletes of the 2024 Paris Olympics, and one who truly inspired me in the realm of mental health recovery, Noah Lyles, I share the golden lessons learned over my month break from the podcast, and what all these athletes have in common that contribute to their greatness.
It has been scientifically proven that trauma can neurologically alter the brain, which keeps one in a constant state of hypervigilance or "fight or flight", and also may block the brain's ability to form new memories, which triggers vivid memories of the trauma they experienced.
In this episode, I share 4 powerful ways to reprogram your subconscious and conscious mind to recover and heal from past trauma, and instill a deeper knowing within you that your past does not define you, you do!

The collective chaos feels like a lot, especially for empaths and highly sensitives souls who carry so much.
The collective chaos becomes collective trauma if you're not protective of your energy and where you place your attention. I've personally been feeling this, and wanted to continue the conversation from Ep. 125: We Are All Exhausted Right Now + How to Recover from Burnout (for Empaths) with what helps me RISE ABOVE the chaos.
In this episode, I share the current energy forecast in Leo season, and how to harness the powerful energy of the LEADER (and Lion!) of the Zodiac.
I also share how prayer, the Pivot Year book, and channeling divine messages from the Ancient Stones oracle can be such comfort to reprogram your reality + subconscious mind.

The collective energy in the cosmos right now is INTENSE, and empaths and highly sensitives especially feel this.
I wasn't physically able to record last week + release an episode because of this, and dedicated this episode to sharing my experience giving light and reality to our collective exhaustion, and how to recover with compassion, grace, and mad LOVE for yourself.
Burnout is a buzzy word, but really for those who have experienced trauma, especially medical and health trauma, feeling the same symptoms again and again can be an emotionally taxing experience.
How do you hold this, with everything else spinning out of control (or appearing to be?) in our world?
In this episode, I share 6 tips on how to move these moments and recover from exhaustion and cyclical burnout to BREAK THROUGH!

Are you hard on yourself? The harsh inner critic is very common for women caregivers, especially empaths and highly sensitives in the spiritual and recovery communities. What started as resonance in response to a post on Instagram has led to a beautiful connection + kindred spirit with my guest in this episode, Kelly Greene.
She came into my life at a time when I lost faith in the spiritual community, and entrusting so many healers and spaces that simply didn't have the trauma informed approach or empathy to hold all that I was carrying.
Kelly speaks to her path to her work with Prana Reiki after her divorce + loss of her brother to cancer in 2012 to a dream that guided her to a deep love of Reiki healing for recovery.
In our conversation, we touch on how to heal and integrate in layers, allowing for ample rest and space to process your emotions without getting stuck into states of depression or stagnation.
Kelly speaks to the suffering of society's obsession with highs and lows, and how the messy middle is truly a place to become your own healer, and learn how to cultivate wild self compassion and humanity through healing.
Make sure you stay tuned through this 2-part series where Kelly invites us to join her in a distance Reiki session to experience her magic LIVE!
