Wild Wellness with Jess

Jess Reid

For those who’ve outgrown the grind, standing at the edge of what’s next—the Wild Wellness with Jess podcast is where Spirit’s love story with Nature is felt in your everyday life, where we see the mystical breathe into the practical, where we honor moon phases and menstrual phases, and nutrition and nervous systems are as sacred as soul and self-trust. You’ll hear real talk about healing from the systems that disconnect us, and learning to live like you actually like your life—through resourcing, through ritual, and through rest.

    291. When Self-Love Feels Super Cringe + What Actually Heals

    💌 Learn more and join our quiet Winter women's circle, ⁠⁠⁠Letters from Love⁠, Feb 18-27. What if the reason “self-love” feels awkward, forced, or hollow isn’t because you’re doing it wrong, but because it was never meant to work that way? In this episode, I'm sharing why I think so many women intelligently resist the idea of self-love, especially those who grew up in high-control or shame-based environments. Instead of trying to make your personality love your personality, what if the deeper healing comes from letting yourself be loved by Love itself? Press play to hear: Why Valentine’s Day often reinforces a narrow and painful definition of loveHow “self-love” can feel cringey when it turns into forced self-appreciationA reframe on self-love that doesn’t require fixing, proving, or performingWhy women are wired to receive Love through connection and communityHow the practice of Letters from Love can help you receive compassion instead of correction How we can walk together: Join the next women's circle, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Letters from Love⁠⁠⁠, Feb 18-27.More of a one-on-one person?

    290. From Cults to Coaching: Mindset Work as a Weapon & What to Do Instead

    💌 Learn more and join our quiet Winter women's circle, ⁠⁠⁠Letters from Love⁠, Feb 18-27. In this episode, I’m sharing about how I was once in a cult, because it is so deeply foundational to my work. Because now I have a very special gift of being highly allergic to high control environments. I have a heightened sense of sniffing out anything that reeks of the psychological warfare that makes us stop trusting ourselves and learn helplessness. In this episode, I talk about how those same dynamics can show up in the coaching and self-improvement world, especially through the misuse of "mindset work." Mindset work can be powerful. It helped me realize my thoughts weren’t happening to me, and that I could unsubscribe from beliefs that no longer served me. But when a good tool is rooted in fear, shame, or avoidance of pain, it can easily become a weapon. Press play to hear: How mindset work can unintentionally invalidate real pain The difference between Love-based and fear-based tools Why “just changing your thoughts” often doesn’t work How the mind can’t solve problems created at the same level of consciousness Why fresh input—not more effort—is what actually creates change I also share why I’ve come to trust energy-based and intuitive practices that bypass the conscious mind and speak directly to the body, the unconscious, and what I simply call Love. If you’ve ever felt stuck in mental loops, exhausted by self-improvement, or confused about why the tools that should be working aren’t helping you, this episode is for you! You’re not broken. You don’t need to try harder. You might just need a different kind of input. At the end of the episode, I share more about Letters from Love, a simple devotional writing practice that offers exactly that.

    289. The Vibe of the Place, Because Vibes Decide: How We Actually Make Decisions, Trust our Intuition, and Choose The Right Spaces

    💌 Learn more and join our quiet Winter women's circle, ⁠⁠⁠Letters from Love⁠, Feb 18-27. We don’t actually make decisions based on facts alone.We decide based on vibe. In this episode, I’m talking about why the feeling of a space matters more than the logistics, especially when it comes to spiritual or intuitive practices. Have you ever felt drawn to something but hesitated because you needed to know more about the energy before saying yes? Who’s going to be there? Who’s leading it, and what are they really like? Do I need prior experience? Are they going to use language I don’t understand? Are they going to try to convert me to something? Do I need to look a certain way or show up as a “better” version of myself? These questions aren't resistance to overcome. They're discernment you want to honor! In this episode, I share the imaginative scene that arrived during my own early-morning listening practice, a vision that showed me how to describe the place we are entering together in the Letters from Love women’s circle... A quiet, warm, Winter sanctuary with unlocked doors...With women gathered, not to perform or prove, but to listen.You’ll hear the full visualization and the story behind it, including why this practice is less about what you do and more about how it feels to arrive exactly as you are. This episode is for you if: You make decisions based on energy, not just information You're craving hibernation-meets-devotion You want community without pressure or performance You’re curious about joining one of my women's circles and want to understand the vibe before deciding ✨ Learn more and join us Feb 18-27 inside Letters from Love.

    I made you a ⁠⁠⁠⁠FREE companion guide⁠⁠⁠⁠ for this episode. This FREE instant access PDF will give you 13 easy and enjoyable ways to celebrate + 12 journal prompts to help you reflect and process the inspiration of this season. I love honoring the Wheel of the Year with others by gathering together to celebrate how Nature is modeling wisdom for us in each season & aligning ourselves with it. This turn in the Wheel of the Year is Imbolc (pronounced Imolk, from the Celtic phrase "in the belly" referring to the lamb's pregnant bellies this time of year.) We are finally moving out of Winter hibernation and awakening to Spring! This is the time for Spring cleaning, planting our seeds (literally and metaphorically), connecting to our playful and adventurous inner Maiden archetype, and setting goals for what we want to create this year. Imbolc is an ancient Celtic winter fire festival honoring the return of the sun and the goddess Brigid. In more recent times, we have celebrated it in religion as St. Brigid's Day or Candlemas, and even secularly as Groundhog Day. Press play to hear: - the origins and history of Imbolc, Brigid, St. Brigid, and even the weather predictions of Groundhog Day what Nature is modeling for us physically, spiritually, and energetically, and how we can align- 13 easy and enjoyable ways to celebrate Imbolc- 12 journal prompts to help you reflect and process the inspiration of this season Let's Go Deeper: Enroll in ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Rewild Your Wellness⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (lifetime access online course)FREE Masterclass: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Discover Your Spiritual Gifts ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Skip the resolutions and feel how you want to feel NOW with my ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Free Desire Map⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sign up for a FREE 1:1 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠coaching curiosity call⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Let's Connect! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
