Listen Later

In this episode, Jessica and Kristi share their recent moves out of Los Angeles, settling into new environments, and the importance of community. They explore using HRV data to track nervous system health during transitions, reframing energy “downtrends” as recalibration, and the impact of seasonality on well-being. Topics include expanding social circles, women’s self-expression and generational patterns, practical grounding techniques, travel anxiety, and perimenopause as a major factor in energy trends. They also discuss integrating personal and professional selves, menopause as a rite of passage, and business as a living system.
