    Solo Flow: Jessa on Control, Creation, & Turning 28

    In this episode, Jessa hits record a few days after turning 28 and reflects on the wild, weird, and wonderful ride of being human. From learning to release control to letting life unfold without gripping too tightly, this one’s all about living in flow, creating your own reality, and tuning into what actually feels good. She shares lessons from her own journey on how your internal state shapes your external world, how your relationships are mirrors, and why co-creating with the universe is way more fun than trying to force the plan. Think: birthday reflections, metaphysical musings, and just a cozy little catch-up with your consciousness-forward co-host. Whether you’re deep in your Saturn return or just need a reminder to chill the f*ck out and trust, this one’s a solo soul hug from Jess to you.

    The Path to Longevity: Blue Zones, Purpose, & Aging Gracefully

    In our very first virtual episode (!!), we’re tuning in from two very different but equally nostalgic places; Jessa from her childhood home in upstate New York, and Amanda from the magic of Aspen. We catch up on all the post-Europe reintegration feelings & Amanda’s family time in the mountains. But the heart of this week’s conversation? Blue Zones - those rare places in the world where people consistently live past 100 and do it with joy, grace, and community. We unpack Dan Buettner’s groundbreaking research and the nine pillars that define Blue Zone living from natural movement and strong social ties to living with purpose and eating with intention. We talk about the sovereignty you have to shape your environment, choose your daily rituals, and create a meaningful life…no matter where you live. Plus, how we’re integrating these insights into our own lives post-travel, post-chaos, and back in the flow. Spoiler: there’s definitely more to say on this, so consider this Part One. This episode is sponsored by our dear friend, Nikki Jhanke's, Rooted Reiki Academy. OPEN is a reiki I & II training program unlike any other out there, and the next round of attunement is open for enrollment and starts on July 30th, 2025.

    Conscious Coupling: Gender Roles, Resentment, & A Peek Into Amanda's Marriage

    In this unfiltered and easeful conversation, Amanda brings her husband, Lucas, onto the mic for a raw look inside their marriage. From breaking down gender roles to navigating new parenthood without losing themselves —or each other— they explore what it really means to build a conscious relationship in 2025... especially since they've been building theirs since 2014. Expect discussion on evolving as individuals, hot takes on flirting while married, hilarious detours that highlight Lucas' ADHD (Jack Black's angelic voice? Balding empowerment? The legend of the red Kia Sorento?), and a whole lot of taboo truth-telling. They talk resentment, desire, leadership in marriage, and why letting your partner be fully themselves might be the ultimate act of love. Plus, they both share their best tips on entering parenthood and thriving because this wouldn't be an Amanda episode if it didn't include MILF & DILF energy. Whether you're single, partnered, or somewhere in between, this one will leave you questioning the old rules—and maybe rewriting your own.

    Zeus Reveal: Jessa’s Love Story, Greek Culture, & the Dance of Distance

    You’ve heard the name… now meet the man. After months of mysterious references to “Zeus,” we’re finally pulling back the curtain. In this special episode, Jessa is joined by her Greek boyfriend (!!!) where they share the story of how they met, what it’s like building a long-distance relationship, how they navigate security and honesty in partnership … and yes, she even makes him sing the Beverage of the Week song (spoiler: he nails it). From heartfelt first impressions of each other to childhood reflections, we explore Zeus’s experience growing up in Greece, Greek family traditions, and the cultural rhythms that shaped him. Plus, the two unpack how they approach conflict with clarity and care, and what this chapter of love and has taught them both about secure attachment.  Whether you’re here for the romance, the culture, or the sexy Greek man… welcome to Jessa’s wifey era.

    Choose Your Travel Partner Wisely: Live From Nice, France

    In this deeper dive from the South of France, we reflect on what it means to travel consciously in a chaotic world. From learning how to pick the right travel companions (hint: it’s not just who you like, but who you can communicate well with), to the importance of sharing your travel preferences and getting honest about what makes or breaks a trip for each of you. We talk about how travel, when done with intention and strong sense of intuition, can crack your mind wide open rather than close it off, and how being abroad has both challenged and expanded us. Plus, we share some of our real time travel stories and mistakes — spoiler, our safe word was "truffle pasta" — since arriving in France, along with the tips we wish someone had told us beforehand.  We close out the episode with dinner, drinks, and convos from a balmy night in Nice with a local as our special, impromptu guest. Come eavesdrop on a little corner of the world with us...

    Passport Stamps & Personal Growth: Live from Antibes, France

    Bonjour from Antibes! In this special overseas episode, we reunite IRL in the South of France after Jessa’s whirlwind four-week adventure leading a group of 18-year-old girls across five countries. Amanda has officially landed, and we’re catching up on everything… from travel companions and cultural shocks to the magic of walking everywhere and how Europeans just get how to live. We talk about the creative inspiration that comes from travel, the slower pace of life we wish Americans would adopt, and the big, juicy lessons that come from stepping out of your comfort zone & into other cultures. Consider this your passport to laughter, reflection, and some très chic travel insights.

    The Frequency of Music: How Sound Heals, Manipulates, and Shapes Culture

    In this melodic episode, we dive into the soul-shaking power of music…how it heals, moves, connects, programs, and shapes us. From ancient healing frequencies to the modern-day cultural landscape of pop lyrics and stardom, we explore how sound becomes a language for the spirit and how artists build worlds that shape our society. But first, we debrief what a morning with a two and four year old is actually like. Jessa slept over Amanda's and recounts the shocking experience of dropping the boys off at daycare & changing her first diaper. After a hyper-pop Beverage of The Week ode, we share stories about the songs that shaped our identities, the concerts that changed our lives, and the way certain frequencies can regulate the nervous system and unlock deep emotion. Amanda also unpacks the rabbit hole conspiracy theories she went down involving XXX Tentacion & Drake, the difference between 432 hz, 440 hz, & 528 hz, and how frequency controls our minds. This episode is for those who understand the importance of music in our culture. Because it isn't just entertainment — it’s medicine, memory, and meaning.

    The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho: A Very Consciously Unconscious Book Club

    Drink every time we say "potent." This week, we're cracking open a bottle of "Spanish" red wine, and Paulo Coelho’s timeless tale of destiny for our first-ever book club episode. The Alchemist hits different every time you read it—and this time, it led us into a deep, almost-two-hour conversation about personal legends, time, unconditional love, and fear, while also clearing up some of our unanswered questions: what is the Elixir of Life, the Emerald Tablet, and the Philosopher's Stone? What is the meaning of the Englishman? And what does it really mean to follow the call of your soul? Amanda debriefs on her experience solo momming for a week, while Jessa shares about quitting her job to travel again, mirroring Santiago’s courageous leap into the unknown. This episode is chaos and clever — how all good book clubs should be — but most of all, it's an ode to the dreamers, the seekers, and anyone who’s ever felt the pull toward something more. We weave in our favorite quotes, offer thoughtful questions for reflection, and end the conversation with purple teeth.
