Connected: A Podcast With Jess

We connected on the road as nomads...and Amanda had a personal dream to be on a podcast.  I looked at her and said, "Well, I can make that happen!".  So we shared a mic on a beautiful goat farm near Long Beach, Washington.  I discovered a nomadic community and a magical human named Amanda.  She shares her story and the future story she's dreaming about.  Self Discovery is what it's all about!

Dacy Gillespie intuitively guides her clients to discover what they feel best in. She helps them let go of the external messages they’ve been given about what they should wear and get to the heart of what’s making them uncomfortable about their clothes. Through their work building a functional wardrobe, Dacy’s clients make a mindset shift from thinking they need to wear what’s flattering to unapologetically taking up space in the world.

After a lifetime of jobs in high-stress careers that didn’t suit her highly-sensitive, introverted personality, Dacy started mindful closet in 2013 in an attempt to create a more emotionally sustainable lifestyle. She has two boys, ages 3 and 7, and a husband she adores who is well aware of her mental load.

It's all pure love and joy and oxytocin, but chasing the high, the dopamine, the rewards of productivity, completing tasks, new biz milestones takes balance with the new human who has daily needs too.

Meet Jenna Dayle...poet, writer, artist and so much more. Her story challenges me to dive deeper into my understanding of intimacy and what it takes to heal from codependency.  

Jenna puts it like this, "Becoming intimate and knowing yourself can help you recenter and reroot to your core & experiences when you are in the thralls of codependency. People have a lot to offer us, even when we think we have more to offer them. Learning to get comfortable giving and receiving intimacy can happen slowly and in tiny ways. You can build a life where you aren't 'needed' but loved."

This episode is packed full of wisdom, grounding, and inspiration.  @jennadayle will open your soul to find its voice.  I left this conversation in anticipation for pause and sacred listening. I think you will too.

Christina and I had never met nor had we spoken prior to this interview for the Connected Podcast. But she might just be my poster child for what it means to connect our human stories. We aren't so far apart in this world and sharing our stories is both good and spiritual. 

Christina shares her story of a journey towards truth and self-connection. These journeys come with intention and with struggle. As she allows me into her story, she unknowingly frees me from one of mine. 

You will be inspired to be present, trust yourself and seek new depths of spirituality.  You will also be given permission to heal from old narratives that no longer serve you.  Yes... it's a loaded episode. And don't forget to share this one...trust yourself that the person who comes to mind is the one who needs to hear this story. Remember...our stories matter!

This one is special. Rebecca Lujan-Loveless is a soul I've known for 28-ish years and recently reunited for a beautiful conversation about life.

It's ok to release a previous version of you...no matter how wonderful you thought she was.  Making room for the new version of you is brave and it requires intention. But healing and wholeness come in the release AND the embrace of all the parts of you. Lena Watt's story will inspire you to live in gratitude for the "Pedestal Me" while enjoying the beauty and power of the "Today Me", right now, in this very moment.

Hello, my name is Lena Watt of Inner Compass Yoga. 
Yoga isn’t something I do, it’s a way of being, not something to try to attain, reach for or seek outside of ourselves. This path begins inwardly with the self. I have been practicing yoga for 22 years now and teaching it for over 9 years. I strongly believe in the teachings and wisdom of yoga and Ayurveda, which have been a large part of my healing journey. On a very simple and basic level, we are nature, we are not separate, we are all interconnected. Through different mindfulness, ayurvedic, and yoga therapy practices and tools, I hope to help empower individuals through self-love and acceptance to connect deeper with their hearts, their intuition, and their own innate wisdom and ability to heal.
