Wild Wellness with Jess

What is enough?

Enough money. Enough food. Enough time. Enough work and rest. Enough security for the future—and enough pleasure in the now.

We talk a lot about scarcity and abundance, but in this episode, I’m exploring a third possibility: Sufficiency.

Not “technically enough to survive.” Not settling or convincing ourselves we shouldn’t want more. But enough to flourish in this Season of our Lives.

As we move toward Autumn and Harvest Season, I’m looking to Nature and our ancestors for a different way of relating to resources. The Harvest wasn’t the same every year. Nature didn’t demand maximum output in every Season. There were times to receive, produce, gather, distribute, release—and rest.

What might happen if we let Nature teach us something about our relationship with money, too?

I’m also sharing about one of the most transformative books I’ve ever read, Lynne Twist’s The Soul of Money, and inviting you into my new fully asynchronous Voice-Note Book Club: The Soul of Money, happening September 16–October 23.

And no—you don’t even have to read the book. ❤️

Each week, I’ll share one of my favorite excerpts in a private Voxer group, along with a voice-note and questions to explore together. You can participate for as little as 15 minutes a week, share deeply, quietly listen, journal on your own, read the entire book, or never open it.

You cannot get behind. Everything is invitation, not obligation.

Because I don’t want to invite you into a conversation about Sufficiency while creating another place in your Life where you feel like you’re not doing enough.

Registration is $222, with an interest-free four-month payment option, and you’ll receive immediate lifetime access to additional resources, including my Healing Your Money Story self-reflection inventory.

We begin September 16.

Join us here:

And until then, carry this question with you:

What would “enough” actually feel like in your Life right now?

Not the smallest amount you could survive on.

Not the largest amount you can imagine receiving.

Enough.

For this Season.

As women, there are SO MANY things we're supposed to care about:

• Every notification wants our attention.
• Every problem wants our concern.
• Every opportunity wants a yes.
• Every algorithm has something new for us to be outraged about.
• Every industry has another thing we should be learning, creating, posting, optimizing, or improving.

And sometimes we confuse being a Loving, caring, spiritually awake person with being available to all of it.

This month, in the Celtic Lunar Tree Calendar, the Holly tree has been teaching me about what happens when we STOP scattering our energy.

And with eclipse season and Virgo season bringing their own flavors to the mix right now, this feels like an especially aligned moment for what I'm calling a Devotion Audit.

Sometimes growth looks like becoming more devoted.

But also sometimes it looks like realizing:

• I don't actually care about this anymore.
• I don't believe this anymore.
• I don't want to spend my Life force here anymore.
• This isn't mine to carry.

📋 Let’s Do a Devotion Audit Together

If this episode has you wondering whether your actual Life reflects what you say matters most to you, I’d love to spend a week with you one-on-one—and here’s exactly what we’ll do:

• I’ll give you a fun, free online assessment that shows you what you value most in Life—what is calling you to be devoted to.

• We’ll identify your authenticity gap: the distance between what you say you want to be devoted to and where your Time, attention, and energy are actually going.

• We’ll find the biggest point of tension in your devotion—the place where your energy is being scattered.

• We’ll also identify your biggest point of harmony—what is already helping you live in alignment with what matters most.

• And throughout our week together, I’ll be a mirror of Love, asking the questions that help you decide what you actually want to do with what you discover.

At a pace that feels Loving.

Without Fear, Force, or Shame.

Summer is ending, the school-year rhythms return, businesses are talking about Q4, our social media feeds are inundated with posts about Virgo Season, and suddenly there's all this pressure to get back on track.

But what if you don't feel motivated?

And what if your lack of motivation isn't a problem to solve, but information to listen to?

There's a million resources out there on how to try to trick or force ourselves to do things when we don't feel motivation for doing them.

Instead, I created this episode to help you stop judging your resistance and start getting curious about it.

*

Press play to learn about...

• Intelligent Resistance. 

For women especially, there are endless things we supposedly have to be doing. But I believe resistance isn't laziness or procrastination. It's intuitive useful information about the strategy, timing, environment, expectation, or our motivating force.

• Changing the environment instead of changing yourself. 

Rather than trying to change yourself, what could you change in your environment to work with your motivational wiring? It's way more loving, not to mention easier, to remove what's obstructing our Nature rather than endlessly improving ourselves.

• “What are you motivated to do?”  

Instead of Why can't I make myself work?, we ask where the energy is naturally trying to go.

• Fear, force, and shame versus Love. 

Sometimes we're resisting not the thing itself but the way we're trying to make ourselves do it.

• Expanding your permission field.

Maybe the answer is not to do the thing at all. The goal isn't to manufacture motivation. It's to understand what the lack of motivation is communicating, and then decide what to do.

At one of our  women’s circles celebrating Lammas in the Wheel of the Year, we each reflected on the path from Imbolc (6 months ago) to now.

From seeds to fruit, from hope to harvest.

We asked: What has bloomed in our lives? What are we harvesting?

As we shared our reflections, something unexpected stood out to me.

Most women didn't talk about business goals, creative projects, or personal accomplishments.

They talked about their children.

For just a moment, I noticed the quiet whisper of an old story inside myself:

"That doesn't count."

"That's not your fruit."

"You should have something of your own to show."

But when I imagined my grandmothers answering the same question, I realized they almost certainly would have spoken about their families, their communities, and the people they had helped nurture into fuller Life.

In this episode, I explore why I believe the fruit of our fruit is still our fruit, what modern culture often gets wrong about success and fulfillment, and why witnessing another person's flourishing may be one of the deepest forms of harvest we experience.

In this episode, we'll explore:

• Why Lammas invites us to reflect on what has ripened since Imbolc

• The old story that says only individual achievement counts
• What our grandmothers might have considered a successful harvest
• The difference between rooted devotion and unhealthy enmeshment
• Why another person's blooming can become part of our own
• A more relational understanding of success, purpose, and the Seasons of Life

"Holly doesn’t teach me to become prickly everywhere. She teaches me to become discerning about where I need thorns."

In this episode, we're exploring Holly in the Celtic Tree Calendar—its ecology, symbolism, Celtic folklore, and spiritual teachings.

Holly is often associated with Winter because of her bright red berries and evergreen leaves, but in the Celtic Tree Calendar she appears in the heart of Summer. She invites us to explore a different kind of strength—not force or control, but devotion, discernment, and the courage to protect what is truly sacred.

Together we'll explore:

• Why Holly is known as the Sacred Defender

• Why Holly appears in the Celtic Tree Calendar during Summer instead of Winter

• What Holly's prickly leaves can teach us about healthy boundaries

• The surprising way Holly creates both protection and sanctuary

• Reflection questions for this lunar cycle

• How Nature becomes a mirror for your own inner Life

Hey sisters! I hope you're enjoying these dog days of Summer.

With the rise of the star Sirius, this has always been a deeply important Time for our ancestors, and I like to think of it as a time to look at our Sirius Commitments. (I love a good corny wordplay!)

So I recorded this episode on what the Dog Days of Summer actually mean, what the "dog star" Sirius meant to our ancestors, and how this aligns with the 8/8 Lions' Gate Portal.

After the Summer Solstice, we officially entered the Dark Half of the Year, though it probably didn't feel like it. Subtly we started waning in hours of sunlight each day, and as we approach the Autumn Equinox, it'll grow more and more noticeable.

Lammas, also known as Lughnasadh, is a festival often celebrated on August 1st, marking the halfway point between Summer Solstice and Autumn Equinox, as well as the first harvest of the wheel of the year.

Lughnasadh is the old Irish name for the festival - and the old spelling too. Fun fact: Lúnasa is actually the Irish word for August! Lammas is the more English Anglo-Saxon name.

It's not too late to celebrate! Lammas is not just one day, but a portal, a Season. Time is hyperlocal, and traditions vary.

While some celebrate on August 1, some celebrated much earlier on "Lunar Lammas" with the 8th Full Moon after the Winter Solstice, which fell on July 29. "Solar Lammas" is on August 6 this week!

This replay from the Wild Wellness Women's Circle is an opportunity for you to celebrate now too.

Lammas invites us all to reflect on the first harvest—both in Nature and in our lives. It asks: What has come to fruition? What still needs tending? And what might be time to let go of?

Press play to hear more about...

- Honoring grief this time of year even as we hold joy, the tension between opposites and the magic that can result

- Reflecting back to Imbolc on Feb 1, seeing what has bloomed and what hasn't

- Reasons why we sometimes don't get the harvest we expected, and what to do with that

- Slowing to the pace of Nature as much of the animal kingdom is really quiet this time of year in the oppressive heat, and how this can be our permission slip too

Lammas, also known as Lughnasadh, is a festival celebrated on August 1st, marking the halfway point between Summer Solstice and Fall Equinox, and the first harvest of the year in the Wheel of the Year.

It's a time where Nature is modeling for us the themes of gratitude and abundance, harvest and reaping, transformation and sacrifice, community and sharing, and reflection and planning.

Did you know?

The word Lammas actually comes from the Old English "loaf mass." People baked a loaf of bread from their first harvest and brought it to the church to be blessed. This bread was believed to have healing and protective properties, so they placed it in the corners of their homes and barns for protection and blessing.

Even though the exact date is August 1, we can celebrate this whole season.

In this episode, you'll learn...

• the origins, history, and symbolism of Lammas
• what Nature is modeling for us physically, spiritually, and energetically, and how we can align
• 11 easy and enjoyable ways to celebrate Lammas
• 8 journal prompt themes to help you reflect and process the inspiration of this season

Most of us live inside linear, scheduled time. Our culture measures every minute and asks us to manage time as if it were money. But our ancestors lived by different rhythms. They knew time as cyclical, sacred, and alive.

I've been on a journey of rewilding my own relationship with time. The Celtic Wheel of the Year and the Celtic Lunar Tree have helped me honor seasonal and lunar rhythms.

In 2024, my mentor introduced me to the Mayan calendar, which deepened this path even further by giving me not just a seasonal or lunar energy to attune to, but a daily one.

Unlike astrology, which can feel overwhelming with so many moving parts, the Mayan calendar offers a simple yet profound way to attune to the quality of time every single day.

The Mayan Sacred Calendar repeats in predictable cycles through twenty nawales, or archetypal energies. 

These patterns invite us to notice synchronicities, shift our awareness, and experience life through Kairos time, mythic time that stretches and breathes, rather than only Kronos time, the linear time of calendars and clocks.

In this replay of a gathering of the Wild Wellness Women's Circle, guest expert Diana Paez walks us through:

• The Mayan calendar as a living system: how cyclical time repeats in archetypal patterns

• An introduction to the nawales: the twenty archetypes you will meet again and again as companions on your path

• Your Mayan birth chart: how to begin exploring your unique essence through the quality of time you were born into

• A rewilding of your relationship to time: moving from productivity-driven Kronos time into the spacious, sacred experience of Kairos time

This is not just a lecture. It’s a circle. You'll get to listen, learn, reflect, and sense how this ancient wisdom resonates in your Life.

Ever since I started walking with the Mayan calendar, it has deepened my connection to my Intuition and helped me understand even more how Nature, Time, and Love want to speak to us each day. I know it will for you too!

What if the way through your current challenge isn't to try harder—but to listen to the element that's calling you?

In this replay from a gathering in the Wild Wellness Women's Circle, I teach you the elemental framework drawn from the Taoist Five Element tradition and the Dagara cosmology of West Africa.

Rather than treating the elements as personality types, this approach understands them as living movements found in Nature, the Seasons, and our own lives.

In this episode, we explore how discovering your primary element can help you better understand your natural rhythms, where you tend to get stuck, and what kinds of practices bring you back into alignment.

You'll also learn how each element offers a completely different strategy for navigating uncertainty, relationships, creativity, grief, and growth.

Whether you're longing for more clarity, more rest, or simply a deeper relationship with Nature and your Intuition...

Press play to hear:

• The difference between the Western four-element system and the Taoist Five Element tradition
• Why the Five Elements are better understood as movements rather than personality types
• How to discover your primary element using your birth year
• The gifts, challenges, emotions, and spiritual invitations of Fire, Earth, Mineral (Metal), Water, and Nature (Wood)
• Practical ways each element approaches decision-making and life's challenges
• How the Seasons themselves become guides for personal growth
• Reflection questions to help you deepen your own elemental practice

As you listen, notice:

• Which element feels most like home?
• Which element are you being invited to cultivate right now?
• How might your current challenge look different if you approached it from another elemental direction?

I'd love to hear what resonated with you. Send me a message or come join us in a future Wild Wellness Women's Circle.
