Wild Wellness with Jess

In the Taoist 5 Element System, the element of the Spring Season is called Nature (sometimes called Wood.)

Our Nature is really about our gifts. We all have inherent gifts that we are born with that are meant for our own benefit (to enjoy!) and meant for others' benefit too (to serve.)

I have a free Discover Your Spiritual Gifts class that complements this episode really well for you. Grab it here.

Most of our problems in Life really do come down to not knowing ourselves, not loving ourselves, and not BEING ourselves.

Why is it like that for so many of us?!

It's definitely not your own fault.

It's because of the culture and systems that we are born into, that are so disconnected now from this kind of truth.

But I do believe we are coming Home, with so many more people individually awakening, but also a collective shift back into this.

I think it's inevitable with the rise of AI that we will have a reawakening of what sets us apart as humans and spirits—our spiritual gifts.

Today's episode is a recording of a client coaching call that I just know you're gonna relate to!

If you feel disconnected from your gifts or like Fear (which btw ultimately does come from Love!) is getting in the way of you fully stepping into them, you're going to love this episode.

Beltane marks the halfway point between Spring Equinox and Summer Solstice.

There is really no wrong time to celebrate.

🎧 Press play to hear:

• the history & origins of Beltane and ways to celebrate
• how the veil is thin at Beltane just like at Samhain
• how it wasn't actually the Church that suppressed the "old ways" but actually the Enlightenment and capitalism
• how the illusion of limitation actually amplifies our Creativity
• how even when we feel like we're regressing, it's truly impossible with Spiral Time
• why Spring is a season where it's safe to have increased hunger, desire, and resourcing
• how to TRIPLE your pleasure in Life!

Your Attention Is Sacred starts THIS WEDNESDAY. Join me in a 10-day voice-note book club to reclaim your Attention and rewild your relationship with your phone, technology, and social media.

What if your Attention isn’t actually scarce?

In this episode, I explore a different way of understanding Attention, not as something you’re running out of, but as something you’re in relationship with.

We talk about why social media and modern technology can feel so overwhelming, what’s actually happening in your nervous system, and the deeper truth that often gets missed:

This is not a personal failure. The system itself changed.

If you’ve been feeling distracted, overstimulated, or like your Time and energy aren’t your own, this episode will help you understand why—and what might begin to shift when you relate to your Attention differently.

Press play to hear:

• Why Attention might not actually be a limited resource
• The deeper meaning of attention as tending, not “paying”
• How the quality of your Attention shapes the quality of your Life
• What your body might be telling you about your current relationship with your phone or social media
• Why your nervous system feels overwhelmed in today’s world
• The concept of “cruel optimism” and why trying harder isn’t always the answer
• How social media shifted from serving users → capturing attention
• The move from finite feeds → infinite scroll and why that matters
• Why it feels harder to focus now than it used to
• What it might look like to stop trying to keep up with everything

I’m currently hosting:

Beltane marks the halfway point between Spring Equinox and Summer Solstice. Beltane is a Celtic celebration of fire, fertility, rebirth, sexuality, and sensuality. It celebrates the union of the God and the Goddess, of masculine and feminine energies.

DID YOU KNOW?

The stories of Robin Hood and Cinderella seem to be based off the Beltane story of the union of the May Queen and the Green Man. Beltane is filled undeniably filled with sexuality and sensuality. The May Pole is a phallic symbol. To go A’Maying was to have a one night stand in the woods with a masked stranger in celebration of Beltane.

In this episode, you'll learn...

• the origins, history, and symbolism of Beltane
• what Nature is modeling for us physically, spiritually, and energetically, and how we can align
• 13 easy and enjoyable ways to celebrate Beltane
• 6 journal prompts to help you reflect and process the inspiration of this season

In this episode, I share a disturbing dream that marked a turning point in my relationship with Attention, social media, and the systems we participate in.

It's an exploration of the Magician archetype, the nature of illusion, and the subtle ways our Attention can be shaped, captured, and carried without us realizing it.

This is a conversation about enchantment, awareness, and what it means to stay connected to yourself while moving through systems designed to captivate you.

Press play to hear:

• My disturbing dream about illusion, surrender, and disorientation
• The Magician archetype in Jungian psychology and what it represents
• How Attention can be shaped, redirected, and influenced without conscious awareness
• Why illusion often feels good and why that matters
• How social media functions as a modern system of attention capture
• The experience of being “inside the spell” and what it feels like to come back out
• What it means to be in Right Relationship with technology
• Attention as a relationship, not just a resource
• Illusion as a natural part of human experience
• Awareness as the bridge between manipulation and mastery
• The difference between being entranced vs empowered
• The practice of staying connected to yourself inside immersive systems
• The problem isn't illusion. The problem is forgetting that you're inside it.

I didn’t decide all at once to change my relationship with social media.

It happened slowly.

In this episode, I’m sharing the story of how things started to feel different for me—how something that once felt connective and alive began to feel extractive, overwhelming, and out of alignment.

I talk about the moment where something really clicked, the questions that changed everything, and how I began experimenting instead of forcing a drastic change.

This is a conversation about Attention, Time, and what it means to come back into Right Relationship with the systems we participate in.

If you’ve been feeling like your attention is scattered, your time isn’t your own, or you’re trying to win inside a game you don’t even want to be playing anymore… you’re not alone.

Press play to hear:

• What it felt like when social media stopped feeling reciprocal
• The subtle ways Attention can feel like it’s being taken instead of chosen
• The concept of “unpaid labor” just to maintain your experience online
• The moment I realized something was not in Right Relationship
• Why I didn’t quit social media—and what I did instead
• The small, experimental shifts that changed everything
• Why deeper connection, not more content, was what I was actually craving, and how I UPGRADED instead of deprived myself
• How voice notes and asynchronous connection became more meaningful for me
• The question that reframed my entire relationship with time: What could I do with those same 12 hours a week if I put them somewhere else?

As you listen, you might notice:

What has shifted in your own relationship with social media over time?

And what are you actually craving when you reach for it?

If the Earth were a Person, how would you describe what they are like, and how would you describe your relationship with them?

I was brought up in a religion that taught me that nature is something separate from us and subservient to us.

It’s alive in a sense, but definitely not conscious. I was taught that it’s impersonal, and it definitely didn’t have a soul or spirit.

It’s beautiful, sure, but it’s mainly a utility that exists to resource humans. It’s here to be the support system and backdrop to the most important existence of humans.

Basically, it’s inanimate.

But in the last couple of years, especially ⁠after my first psychedelic experience⁠, I see things completely differently.

Throughout most of human history, human beings believed in animism, and it doesn’t contradict religion (or, it doesn’t have to.)

Animism is the belief that everything in Nature is alive and has a spirit or consciousness—not just humans and animals, but also trees, rivers, rocks, mountains, and even weather systems.

It’s one of the oldest belief systems in the world and is found in many Indigenous and earth-based traditions.

Animism teaches that the world is made up of relationships - that we’re in constant dialogue with the more-than-human world, and that everything is interconnected and deserving of respect.

Press play to learn:

• myths and creation stories about the Earth being personal and relational

• practical and magical ways to be more connected with Nature - to receive physical and mental health benefits and also to receive messages from your Intuition

• how to see Nature as a mirror for what’s happening in our inner world through its cycles of growth and rest

I saw Michelle’s profile on LinkedIn one day and literally just felt drawn to connect with her. I messaged her promising I wasn’t selling anything, just that I thought it was so cool she is an intuitive therapist from Massachusetts (where I'm from too!) and that we have a lot in common.

Then I pretty quickly after that saw that she was starting her own podcast and was looking for guests and I volunteered, and I was her very first guest! We have talked mainly about the soul of weight loss and healing from body objectification, things we are both very passionate about, but we also have in common that we are both reiki practitioners!

This is our first time talking about it together and I wanted to have her come teach inside the Wild Wellness Women's Circle, and also have her community and my community (that’s you!) get to hear this replay!

Michelle has a fully booked therapy practice, she has an amazing top-rated podcast called “Into the Work: Therapy for Empaths and Seekers,” she’s a reiki practitioner, AND she teaches others to become reiki practitioners. She teaches transformative classes online and holds group healing ceremonies too.

Press play to hear this 90-minute interactive session women's circle gathering, featuring Michelle’s expertise on:

• How do you understand how Reiki works — physiologically, energetically, magically, or even from a quantum physics perspective?

• What role does the placebo effect plays in Reiki sessions?

• How to reconcile Reiki with any other belief systems in your life, like religious upbringing?

• How does Reiki help tame our inner critic?

• What is an Empath and why might they particularly need Reiki for both physical and emotional issues?

• How to know whether you need talk therapy, Reiki, or both?

• Advice for anyone curious about becoming a Reiki practitioner?

Today is April Fool's Day, and instead of talking about pranks or jokes, we're exploring the deeper archetypal meaning of the Fool.

In this episode, I'm weaving together the archetype of Fool from the Tarot, the Maiden from feminine archetypal work, and the lived experience of Spring as a Season of not knowing, beginning, and becoming.

Because what if the part of you that doesn't have it all figured out yet IS NOT A PROBLEM?

We're also talking about:

• What it means to be in an initiation, especially when the old way no longer fits
• Why entering the Unknown isn't a mistake, but part of the path
• How re-enchantment with Nature can guide you back into trust, instinct, and what feels Alive

This episode is for you if:

• You feel like you're in-between—no longer where you were, but not quite where you're going
• You're questioning old patterns, but don't have clear answers yet
• You feel Resistance, Curiosity, or a pull toward something you can't fully explain
• You've been hard on yourself for not having it figured out yet

I've been thinking a lot about how quickly we're taught to leave something the moment it feels off.

Burn it down. Pivot. Start over.

In the Celtic Lunar Tree Calendar, we're in the Connection Full Moon this Wednesday, April 1. 

It's about how alignment doesn't always come from making a big move. Sometimes it comes from staying long enough to understand what's actually out of alignment, and letting it come back into right relationship.

That doesn't mean you stay forever.

It means you don't let fear, force, or shame make the decision for you.

For anyone navigating tension, transition, or "something's shifting but I can't name it yet," I made a free moon guide for you.

🌕 Find it here.

In this episode, I'm walking you through the current full moon theme's about alignment, right relationship, and staying rooted while things reorganize.

Press play to hear:

• What right relationship actually means (and how to feel it in your Life)
• The difference between leaving from alignment vs. leaving from fear
• Why tension doesn't mean something is wrong
• The current "weather" of cyclical Time and orienting to the Celtic Lunar Tree Calendar, Western astrology, and the Native American full moon names

If you've been feeling the urge to pivot, quit, or start over, this episode will help you slow down and listen more deeply before you make your next move.
