Always Shine Brightly Shanna Covey

Jennifer O’Neill is a graduate of The Institute for Integrative Nutrition and is on a mission to help women free their bodies from the pain of dieting and negative body image, and lead them to a life of freedom, balance, and joy around eating and fitness. She put herself through diet hell for nearly 30 years of her life and knows that it’s simply not worth it. She guides her clients to take action around food, fitness, and body image from an aligned place of love instead of hate. It is only by changing our minds about ourselves that we can then begin to learn that the love we are so desperately seeking is already inside of us. She is also the host of the newly launched podcast, Free Yourself From Body Prison, where she’s created a safe space to discuss body image, binge/emotional eating, weight loss, exercise ad finding the balanced middle ground between diet culture and anti-diet culture. Her primary focus is helping women create a more loving (or accepting) relationship with their body image, food and exercise.

In this episode, Jennifer shares her personal journey to create a healthy relationship with her body, food and exercise. A huge turning point in her journey occurred when she read and studied A Course in Miracles (which also plays a foundational role in everything I teach!) as this is what shifted her relationship to her body, food and exercise from coming from self-hate and judgment to loving and accepting herself. It’s what helped her realize her worthiness did NOT come from how she did or didn’t look. This is a HUGE lesson that so many have yet to learn…mainly because our society does not teach us this. In fact, it teaches the opposite. I’m happy to have Jennifer on the podcast so this message of worthiness reaches more and more people.

We also discuss what diet and anti-diet culture is (I had no idea this was such a polarizing issue, but, with the times we’re in, I’m also not surprised), what body neutrality is (I love anything that helps us see from a more neutral perspective!), how NOT to give away our power to “the scale” and how to dig deep into understanding why we self-sabotage, binge and emotionally eat (truly understanding the root of our emotions so our core beliefs about ourself can be healed).

Ultimately, this is a message of empowering others to find what works for them without being swayed by all the noise that comes from the various camps of what one should or shouldn’t do when it comes to diet, exercise and healthily relating to our bodies.

Jennifer offers one-on-one coaching to help you heal your relationship with your body, food and exercise. She’s also in the process of creating courses to support you in this process. Check out her website for more information. You can also follow her on Instagram @luminouswellnesswithjennifer.

I’m excited to announce that we have our first returning guest, Jessicka Herman! In Jessicka’s first interview, Balancing Love & Wisdom, we primarily focused on her personal spiritual journey as well as how she came to channel a group entity known as Vagrein. This time we’re talking about the powerful information that came through Vagrein that has now been beautifully organized in their book, Vagrein: Seeking Ends When Sharing Begins (available on Amazon).

This book is a masterclass on unity consciousness (balanced love and wisdom) with relevance to wherever you are on your individual journey of awakening. Whether mastering unity consciousness is your intention or goal for your life or not, this book powerfully shifts our perspective on all major topics that each of us deal with in our daily life, which is where I focused our interview.

In this interview, we go into the parent-child relationship, the romantic relationship (including how attraction works as well as it’s purpose on our soul journey to know ourself more fully), our relationship with money and the overhaul that our financial system is undergoing through the collective awakening, our relationship to our body (specifically how chronic ailments and health challenges are serving as a learning tool to turn us inward), how to properly understand and use our emotions to better align with our true nature, understanding our own inner power to co-create our lives through intention as well as how humans are increasing the speed with which we can learn and process information.

When we’re able to frame all of the above within the context of moving toward unity consciousness, we begin to understand the inner workings of our relationship to life itself. And in doing so, we’re able to use our new understanding to quickly resolve all the ways we’ve been living out of alignment with higher truths about ourselves. This always leads to greater inner peace, fulfillment and joy.

I see this information as the instruction manual for understanding life, where, for centuries, it has only been available in spiritual texts focused on the higher path. We’re living in a time of great awakening, where this information is finally being delivered to the masses. I hope you’ll join us in conversation where this much needed information is finding it’s way into the world in a much more widespread manner.

Jordan Simmons is a shining example of being a light in the world despite personal tragedy. I don’t think this choice between following the expression of light or falling into darkness can be more challenging than when we’re faced with life’s injustices. For Jordan, this has come in three different forms of loss all within a very short timeframe. Some people lose the rest of their own lives over the loss of another. Fortunately, Jordan found the inner strength (aided by her father’s advice and a simultaneous promise she made to him) to move forward in a way that has allowed a greater vibrancy and vitality to be lived and expressed through her being. Today, she knows she’s not only here to survive, but to thrive. She knows she’s here to make a huge impact on the planet and has dedicated her life to being an agent of change in the ways she feels led.

I want to thank Jordan for being willing to graciously share her story with all of us. It’s not easy to talk about the traumas we’ve been through but she has courageously chosen to do so as a way of helping others process pain and inspire them to live from light.

In this episode, we talk about how intuition has played a significant role in guiding her in and out of each phase of her life starting with moving to NYC at 17 to pursue ballet. She also shares her journey to sobriety and how it doesn’t always look like a traditional rock bottom moment as each person’s threshold for change depends on their desire for it, which, in fact, applies to anyone’s desire to create change on any level in their life. Overall, we talk about the various phases of her spiritual journey and how it’s deepened over time to create her full alignment with a life lived in service to others. This is a beautiful story-based conversation chock full of spiritual lessons and insights meant to help others normalize similar lessons in their own journey.
