The Radical Healing Podcast with Jessica Betancourt

Divorce, turning 50, raising 4 kids and trying to navigate the unchartered territory of peri-menopause is not typically where you would find a women rejoicing, laughing, turning her pain into medicine. But this is the world that we get to step into with my guest today.

BatSheva Raissa is a women's empowerment coach, storyteller, musician, and co-host of The Brighter Podcast. And she is here to share with you that life is available to not only re-invent yourself but to re-connect deeply with yourself and your creative expression in any phase of life, in any form of disruptive circumstances.

After this conversation, I did indeed feeling like painting and dancing!!

May you be reconnected to your joy as well, tend to your inner magical child and create the time to BE CREATIVE simply because it is so deeply therapeutic and inherent in us all.

You are a creative being. Get out there, get messy, make things, let your soul shine through the midst of chaos, obligation and demand.

There is no other time.

If you resonate with this episode or know someone who would, we'd love for you to share it.

The words you use can shape how much you drink.

Casual sayings like, "It's 5 O'Clock somewhere," “Just one more,” or “We're celebrating” can make heavier or regular drinking feel normal or harmless to your mind even though your body may be communicating with signs of, 'This is not good for us anymore.'

Social language creates pressure and expectations.

Phrases such as “Don’t be boring” or "I don't want this bottle by myself!" can push people to choose to drink more to please people or as a way to bond with them. While supportive language (“no worries,” “your choice”) makes it easier to stop or decline alcohol.

Self-talk language influences drinking habits more than anything.

The way people talk to themselves matters too. Saying “I need a drink to relax” reinforces alcohol as a coping tool, while reframing it as a question, “What else can I do to get my needs met right now?” can change behavior over time with deliberate awareness of how you are creating your internal narrative.

Since the beginning of 2021, I have been successful at drinking less or not at all. Yet still protecting my option to keep it available. I would say things like: taking a break, having alcohol free days, I’m working on, I intend to, etc… which helped me reform my habits but still maintaining a likability with alcohol.

I worked on my beliefs, my environment, my health choices. I was not ready to commit to longer terms because I didn’t want to feel false to myself. Until now. I have recently ackowledged that I have created an internal dialogue that is no longer a match for even intermittent drinking. I am ready, feeling aligned, and committed to - letting alcohol fall away from me altogether.

This summer I will be documenting this process and offering as many resources that I have implemented to help me arrive here in a private program designed specifically for women who feel that they have one foot in the world of 'Wanting to move on', and 'Still feeling attached to alcohol.

Healing isn’t something we force — it’s something we support. The skin is not just a surface; it’s a living, responsive organ deeply connected to the nervous system, emotions, and overall health. When we slow down, reduce chemical interference, and choose approaches that respect the body’s intelligence, we create space for real healing to happen. My guest today is Jodi Scott and it is her desire to invite people back into greater presence with their bodies , where mind, skin, and nervous system work together, and whole health becomes something we experience daily, not something we chase.

Join our conversation where we discuss skin care as something more than self-care. It is an opportunity to provide emotional regulation and nervous system support as well. Learn why you should care about the forever chemicals (those that your body cannot metabolize and stay in your cells and tissues) that are lurking in your body products and not to live in fear about them but to feel empowered in your ability to choose powerfully about what enters your body via the skin.

Green Goo products are essentially 'skin food' and nervous system support and you can find them (they ship internationally!) at

Every woman has a relationship with anger — even if it doesn’t always look the same.

Some women learned early on that anger was unsafe, unacceptable, or “too much.” They learned to swallow it, soften it, or turn it inward. Over time, that unexpressed anger can show up as anxiety, exhaustion, guilt, people-pleasing, or a quiet disconnection from one’s own truth.

Other women feel anger all the time. It lives close to the surface — sharp, simmering, or heavy. It can feel exhausting to carry, and confusing to know what to do with it. The anger is justified, but it never seems to fully move through.

If you feel that there are qualities in your life where you feel small, unheard, or fearful of being too visible, connecting with your sacred feminine rage may be medicinal and healing for you.

Join me and my guest, EFT Tapping expert Amy Vinzce as well explore the disservice that women in particular experience in a world that is fearful of feminine rage and power.

The Wisdom of Feminine Rage is a live, online group tapping series for women. In this 3-part series, we use EFT tapping to create a safe, grounded space to work with anger as an intelligent emotional response, rather than something to suppress or be overwhelmed by.

Most hesitation around hypnosis isn’t about hypnosis itself—it’s about trust, safety, and autonomy. When those are addressed clearly and respectfully, people tend to relax and decide for themselves whether it’s a fit.

Most hesitation around microdosing isn’t about curiosity—it’s about uncertainty. The science is incomplete, the legal landscape is uneven, and responses vary widely between individuals. For many people, not knowing is the deciding factor.

The questions that we receive from our respective communities around hypnosis and microdosing come down to themes around:

• Safety (mental, physical, legal)
• Lack of trustworthy, long-term data
• Fear of unintended psychological change
• Moral or identity-based uncertainty (“Is this who I want to be?”)
• 
  

So ahead of our proprietary program Hypnodosing TM 2026, we wanted to address these concerns and questions to bring you the most up to date information as well as our first hand accounts.

Do you have inexplicable aches, pains, weird sensations in your body that don't make logical sense?

Or maybe you have 'normal' test results and labs and no medical professional can find anything 'wrong' with you but you deeply sense that something is off? You're uncomfortable, frustrated, unsure what do do after you have tried countless things...

This was me too. And I am so grateful to have had Rachel on my show for two reasons:

1) She was able to help me locate a trapped emotion of grief and distress that felt that it had lodged in my heart space at the intersection of my ribs, originating over 20 years ago and had been reactivated by an inciting incident.

2) The situation had to do with my mom, an event that I believed I had put behind me but my body was telling a different story. Through working to release this trapped emotion, I was able to connect more deeply with my mom who means a great deal to me but we have some reconnection and healing work to do and now we get to move in a more honest direction together.

The physical ache in my heart has not returned since I did this live session with Rachel. I am so humbled and sincerely appreciative of this entire experience.

If you resonate with 'ghost pains', inexplicable discomforts, illness, or conditions, I hope that you will explore having a session with Rachel. She helped my immensely. Its so interesting the insights that we can receive and the weight of the past that can be relieved when the body gets to speak.

Thank you for being here.

And a big thank you to Rachel Reimer. And to my mommy.

Rachel Reimer believes that the body can develop physical symptoms (acutely or chronically) when unresolved emotional stress is present. Instead of rationalizing that the emotional stressor “isn’t so bad”, Rachel has found that talking through the stress can sometimes help the body feel/function better. During a session, Rachel’s goal is to understand your physical concern thoroughly, help identify what specific emotional stress she thinks could be related to the physical concern (if any) and will then help you work through the unresolved emotional stress; with the hope that the physical body starts to function and feel better.

*If at any point you feel stuck or don’t know how to articulate what you may be feeling during a session, Rachel is happy to use her intuition to help identify what emotional stress she suspects is impacting the body. (Rachel best resonates with the Catholic faith and any intuitive information that comes forward is from a conversation with God. She does not expect her clients to follow the Catholic faith and will meet each individual where they are at in their faith.)

What are you currently doing habitually and how it this making you FEEL, vs WHO could you become if your habits were really in service to your greater goals in life?

What kind of person would you need to be to have this result?  What new stories would you tell your self?

Think about ways of being that you have pieces of but are not fully aligned with because of this other habit.  

Yoga but you drink.

Take 10,000 steps but you eat the whole thing of ice cream.

Wake up to meditate but you stay up really late watching TV.  

Something has got to give.  

Today we are going to do a little experiment in releasing OLDER ways of being that no longer feel aligned with who you wish to BECOME, how you can gracefully accept and love older versions of yourself, and how letting go of the past frees you up to create something NEW!

This is the exact re-patterning sequence that I take my clients through.  So that you can change identity structure in a very empowering way and let that identity do the heavy lifting for you so that you don’t have to force yourself to follow through or punish yourself over not having changed this habit yet. 

Ready for a deeper, guided, and highly personalized habit change program that will elevate your life by way of creating more meaningful and purposeful habit patterns?

I invite you to book a sample session with me! Let's get into your story and your journey about how and why your habits developed as they did and how you can effectively change them in a sustainable, fun and pleasurable way!

See you inside,

Jess

How you used to be doesn’t have to be who you are or who you are becoming. But if you feel disconnected or unmotivated, it may be that you are in a stage of transformation or identity shifting rather than going bananas, and infusing some structure and self-loving discipline into your day to day could really help you!

Rules - we want to break them, rules are impositions from other people about what they want us to do and how they want us to behave. This isn't about having strict rules and regulations to whip you into any kind of shape: mental, emotional, spiritual nor physical.

Somewhere along the way, structure and discipline got over-coupled and caught up with rules and something to rebel against.

Structure is a masculine framework that holds and gives shape to the more feminine qualities of creativity, daydreaming and visualization.  

Tangibly what this may look like, Is having actionable routines or rituals that serve your higher goals.

Or how I like to refer to actionable routines is RITUALS.  Rituals really ground us and hold us together.  

If you feel disoriented in some in-between-state in your life, this episode if for you!!

Let's take a little journey into how it can benefit you to reframe words like structure and discipline in your life.
