Awaken Your Authentic Self

What if your soul chose this lifetime for a reason? What if your hardest experiences were preparation, not punishment? An Akashic Records reading revealed a past life of bondage, survival and a sacred assignment that changed how Jessica Rooks understands her life, her healing journey and the work she is here to do.

In this deeply personal flip-the-script episode of Awaken Your Authentic Self, host Jessica Rooks takes the interviewee seat as returning guest Martha Wright leads her through her own personal Akashic Records reading and what it revealed about past lives, soul contracts and soul purpose.

About Martha Wright

Martha Wright is a shamanic medicine woman, Akashic Records reader, healer, Certified Breathwork Teacher, and Reiki Master Teacher, as well an art historian and museum educator. People often find Martha when traditional approaches haven't provided the answers they are looking for. In readings Martha describes the Akashic Records as a repository, a frequency of information - like a giant library with a reading room and a librarian who helps interpret the books of our lives.

In this conversation Jessica shares the core revelation from her reading: a lifetime described as bondage and brutality framed as an assignment, where she was a wisdom bearer in a time when wisdom was being erased, carrying themes of survival, purpose, service, protection and healing. The reading also revealed confirmation of future work - helping women and children in dangerous situations and building University Earth, a podcast with a bigger stage. Together Jessica and Martha explore soul contracts, karmic patterns, spirit guides, destiny vs. free will, intuition, and the ethics of spiritual healing and Akashic Records readings with integrity, discernment and respect.

Why can you understand your patterns and still feel stuck in them? In this episode, somatic psychotherapist Melanie Smithson explains how somatic healing and nervous system regulation help your body release what your mind already knows - and why talk therapy alone isn't enough.

This week host Jessica Rooks sits down with Melanie Smithson a Licensed Somatic Psychotherapist, Dance Movement Therapist, and author of the award-winning Stress Free in 30 Seconds and Shake Yourself Free: 81 Somatic Practices to Let Go of Limitation. Trained in somatic psychology, dance movement therapy, EDMR, and the Sedona Method, she has spent decades helping people heal through the body rather than around it.

What is somatic healing? Somatic Healing is a body-based approach to emotional healing that works with the nervous system - sensation, breath, movement and felt safety - instead of relying on analysis alone. Where talk therapy works through understanding, somatic therapy works through the body's own signals.

In this conversation, you'll discover:

✨Nervous system regulation - what somatic therapy is, how it differs from traditional talk therapy, and how to regulate your nervous system when stress has become your baseline

✨The mind-body connection - how emotional overwhwelm shows up as physical symptoms, and the early signals that tell you it's time to slow down.

✨Somatic exercises and emotional release - why movement and play offer another route to emotional healing, self-awareness, and personal growth

✨Learning to listen to your body - the first question to ask your body when you feel stuck, and how to recognize when your body finally answers

This conversation is for empaths, highly sensitive people, and anyone navigating spiritual awakening, anxiety, burnout, or a sense of disconnection from their body. If you've spent years trying to understand yourself and still feel that something hasn't shifted, this episode is your next step.

Why do women feel stuck in life, even when they're ready for a change? In this episode of Awaken Your Authentic Self, host Jessica Rooks sits down with Lynda Leonce, authenticity coach, mentor, and author of Inside Out Creation: Your Path to Inner Alignment, to explore limiting beliefs, subconscious conditioning, people pleasing, and the untruths that keep women disconnected from their authentic selves.

Lynda explores the untruths we carry about worth, safety, love and identity - and how these internalized stories can contribute to misalignment and keep us from living from the outside in. The freedom we seek, she teaches, begins within.

Lynda's work centers on Inside Out Creation, her practical framework for returning to inner alignment across 8 areas of life: body, mind, relationships, finances, work, personal space, inner connection, and daily habits.

In this conversation, Jessica and Lynda explore what it really means to stop blaming people and circumstances, question what you've accepted as true about yourself, and begin reclaiming the truth of who you are.

In this conversation, you'll discover:

✨Limiting beliefs vs. untruths - the difference and why it matters for women who feel stuck in life

✨Why the people in our lives may not be the real obstacle to personal growth and authentic living

✨How to recognize misalignment, people pleasing, and subconscious patterns that disconnect you from you authentic self

✨Practical ways to cultivate inner alignment and live in greater harmony with your truth from the inside out

This conversation is for anyone navigating spiritual awakening, emotional healing, self-discovery, burnout recovery, or feeling stuck despite years of personal growth. If you're ready to question old stories and come home to yourself, this episode offers a grounded path forward.

Shadow work and why you can't see your own blind spots may reveal why the same emotional patterns keep repeating, even after years of inner work. In this episode of Awaken Your Authentic Self, host Jessica Rooks sits down with spiritual teacher, Vedic astrologer, Enneagram practitioner, and author Indra Rinzler to explore the hidden aspects of ourselves we struggle to see - and how recognizing them opens the door to deeper self-awareness and spiritual awakening.

What if the very thing you cannot see about yourself is the key to understanding who you truly are?

With more than 50 years on the spiritual path, including decades as a disciple of Paramahansa Yogananda, Indra has developed a unique approach through Vedic Astrology, the Enneagram, and his Celestial Enneagram system. His work brings together ancient wisdom and personality insights to illuminate the patterns, conditioning, and blind spots shaping our lives. He is the author of Indra's Net: A Seeker's Guide to the Human Experience.

In this conversation, Jessica and Indra explore interconnectedness through Indra's Net, the role of shadow work in spiritual awakening, and the Wheel of Totality - a framework for examining parts of ourselves that may remain hidden for decades.

In This Conversation, You'll Discover:

✨Why shadow work reveals the blind spots behind recurring emotional and relationship patterns

✨How Vedic Astrology and the Enneagram offer different perspectives on personality and conditioning

✨What the Wheel of Totality reveals about parts of ourselves we may not recognize until later in life

✨Why vulnerability and honest self-examination become doorways to authentic transformation

This conversation is for anyone navigating spiritual awakening, subconscious healing, self-discovery, or the frustration of doing the inner work and still feeling something is missing.

Sometimes the next step isn't learning something new. It's finally seeing what you couldn't see before.

What if a lifetime on the world's biggest stages still leaves you asking: Who am I?

Childhood trauma healing, inner child healing, and belonging with singer and author Machan Taylor (Pink Floyd, Sting, Pat Benatar) on Awaken Your Authentic Self with Jessica Rooks.

In this deeply personal conversation, Machan Taylor joins host Jessica Rooks to explore identity, belonging, childhood trauma healing, self-worth, relationships, spirituality, meditation, self-awareness, and becoming your authentic self.

Machan Taylor is a renowned singer and author of the memoir Naked Out Loud. Her extraordinary music career has taken her onto the world stage alongside Pink Floyd, Sting, Michael Jackson, Foreigner, Pat Benatar, George Benson and many others. But beneath the accomplishments is a much more personal story: growing up between cultures, moving from Japan to suburban America, losing her sense of belonging, and discovering how music became both refuge and validation.

In Naked Out Loud, Machan writes candidly about identity, relationships, trauma, self-worth, and healing from trauma. Her healing journey has included therapy, group work, Buddhist meditation, intentional living, and psychedelic-assisted experiences, along with the integration and self-reflection that followed.

This conversation goes beyond the career and into the woman underneath it all - what happens when we begin recognizing our patterns, reclaiming our power, and questioning the identities we built to survive, belong, or feel worthy.

In this Episode, You'll Discover:

✨How being uprooted from Japan and growing up between cultures shaped Machan's lifelong journey with identity, belonging, and inner child healing

✨The difference between being recognized by the world and feeling at home within yourself, and how music became a place where Machan felt wanted and valued

✨How loss, music, and a major music opportunity brought patterns around trauma, self-worth, power, and responsibility into awareness

✨Why Machan now sees difficult experiences as "instructional gifts" and what she is still discovering about spirituality, healing and becoming

About Machan Taylor:

Machan Taylor is a world reowned singer and author of Naked Out Loud sharing her lived experience of cultural displacement, trauma healing, and self-discovery through Buddhist meditation, therapy, and integration work.

Why don't I feel like myself anymore? If you're in the in-between space of spiritual awakening, identity transformation, and anxiety - where who you were no longer fits but who you're becoming isn't clear yet - this conversation is for you.
