I’m Jess. My work is shaped by years of unraveling inherited patterns, healing my nervous system, and learning how to live with more autonomy, awareness, and self-trust.

These days, I live a life that actually feels like mine — connected to purpose, guided by intuition, and built to sustain nervous system regulation.

I host a podcast — conditioning to consciousness — and offer digital tools and coaching to support mind/body/soul transformation. I’m a student of transpersonal psychology focusing on consciousness studies, and I offer past life regression hypnosis.

I’m also a mom to three small humans, and the truth is — they’re always watching. So alignment isn’t optional. I write to heal myself, and because I know that each time I share my voice, I heal a little bit forward for them, too.

I’m endlessly curious about how we got to this place where the world feels heavy and broken, and what the path to healing looks like. I’m a firm believer that if just 1% of us elevate our consciousness through deeper awareness and the inner journey, that we can create a shift in the world around us.

Kitty Lynne is the oldest of five and credits the loss of her brother to addiction as one of the most life-altering moments of her healing journey. While it wasn’t her first struggle, it profoundly reshaped the way she understood grief, purpose, and human connection. What began as personal healing slowly transformed into a calling to create spaces where people don’t have to carry their pain alone.

Today, she leads The Authentic Life Collective, a nonprofit community dedicated to emotional safety, storytelling, and reminding people they are not alone in their struggles. From partnering with the Break The Silence Festival in Colorado to amplify conversations around mental health, recovery, and suicide prevention, to traveling with her community to support others in sharing their stories, Kitty is committed to turning pain into purpose.

She is also the host of The Authentic Life w/ KL podcast, where she invites everyday humans, artists, and musicians to share real stories of overcoming odds, healing, and becoming. Through honest conversation, music, and lived experience, Kitty creates spaces where hope feels accessible, healing feels human, and authenticity is always welcome.

Guest Bio

Ryan hosted a solo episode of the Truth to Heals podcast, reflecting on how watching a docuseries called "Cult and Extreme Beliefs" on Hulu inspired him to start sharing his own experiences as an ex-member of a high-control religious group. He explained that while watching former members like Teddy Hose from the Unification Church and Sarah Edmondson from NXIVM share their stories, he realized he had been minimizing his own experiences and felt compelled to create a podcast to share the truth about his time in the cult. Ryan discussed how his initial approach of trying to make peace with cult leaders had failed, and how he now felt empowered to speak out about the manipulation, fraud, and abuse he witnessed, despite criticism from some who claimed he wasn't "healed" yet.

Teddy Hose was born and raised in the Unification Church, popularly known as the “Moonies” cult, led by Sun Myung Moon who believed himself to be the Second Coming of Jesus. With Teddy’s parents holding high positions as early members, his family had inner circle status which he now draws from in his whistleblower work. Teddy has been featured in docuseries Explained and How to Become a Cult Leader on Netflix, and A&E’s Cults and Extreme Belief, and regularly posts cult-related insights and news in his social media channels. Career-wise, Teddy is a multimedia designer with a focus on video editing, now living in Brooklyn - http://teddyhose.tv
