    EP 142 🌿 How the channel of struggle and crisis became my biggest gifts in business

    It’s my story like you’ve never heard it before. In this deeply personal episode, I pull back the curtain on the struggles that have shaped me—not just as an entrepreneur but as a human. From a $40,000 business loss to navigating health crises and burnout, I share how the hardest moments of my life ultimately became my greatest teachers. You’ll hear how understanding my Human Design—specifically the channel of struggle and crisis—helped me reframe these experiences as tools for growth rather than signs of failure. This isn’t just a story of survival—it’s a story of transformation, resilience, and alignment. If you’ve ever wondered how to move through your own challenges and create a life and business that feel deeply aligned, this episode is for you. What you’ll receive in this episode Struggle as a Catalyst for Growth:Learn how the challenges you face can refine, rather than define, you—and why reframing struggle can change your entire perspective. Failures Aren’t the End:Hear how a $40,000 business mistake became the foundation for greater emotional resilience and clarity on what truly matters in business. Embracing Crisis in Human Design:Discover how the channel of struggle and crisis shaped Jessica’s journey—and how it might be influencing yours, too. Your Business Can’t Outgrow Your Beliefs:Understand why healing your inner blocks and aligning with your energy is essential to creating lasting success in your business. The Power of Choosing Your Struggles:Explore why some challenges are worth embracing, and how to decide what’s truly worth your energy. This episode is an invitation to see your story differently. If you’ve ever felt weighed down by failure or stuck in cycles of doubt, I truly hope that my raw, honest journey will give you permission to rewrite the narrative.   LET’S TAKE THE NEXT STEP TOGETHER Get started with a Freebie!

    EP 139 🌿 The secret to moving forward in business even when fear shows up

    ✨ “Fear isn’t the problem—it’s the meaning we attach to it.” This episode is an invitation to get real about the fears holding you back in your business. Have you ever delayed putting yourself out there, raising your prices, or pitching to dream clients because the “what if” thoughts got too loud? You’re not alone. But here’s the truth: The fear is rarely about the surface-level worry—it runs deeper than that. This is a special episode where we go beyond fear and dive into the beliefs, emotions, and stories that keep you stuck. We’ll explore how to unpack fear, process it, and ultimately move forward—even when it feels uncomfortable. In this episode, I guide you through five transformational takeaways: 1️⃣ Uncover the Real Fear Behind the Fear: The fear of rejection, failure, or success is rarely about what it seems. We’ll help you uncover what you’re truly afraid of—so it no longer holds you back. 2️⃣ Challenge the Worst-Case Scenario: Often, our minds amplify fears into worst-case outcomes that are unlikely to happen. But when you shine a light on those scenarios, they lose their power. 3️⃣ Move Through Fear Instead of Avoiding It: Fear is a signal from your nervous system—not a stop sign. Learn how to regulate your nervous system so you can take aligned action even when fear is present. 4️⃣ Separate Fear from Identity: Fear-based thoughts don’t define who you are. I’ll show you how to reframe your relationship with fear so it becomes an ally instead of an enemy. 5️⃣ Unlock Freedom with Self-Trust: When you release the need to control or predict every outcome, you create space for your business to evolve. Building self-trust allows you to move forward with confidence, even without guarantees. This episode will empower you to stop avoiding fear, start acknowledging it, and move forward with courage. Fear doesn’t have to hold you back—and once you learn to navigate it, the possibilities become endless. Your Journalling Prompts: What’s the thing I’m most afraid of right now? What story am I telling myself about this fear? Is this fear logical—or just familiar? If I release this fear, what’s possible for me on the other side? What’s one small action I can take today, even if the fear is still present?

    EP 138 🌿 From Self-Sabotage to Success: A Journey of Inner Mastery

    ✨ “It’s not the challenges themselves that hold you back—it’s the meaning you attach to them.” This is not your average episode of Alive and Thriving. Today, I’m sharing an exclusive training I recently ran because the message is just too important to keep under wraps. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything in your business but still getting stuck, overwhelmed, or held back by imposter syndrome, this episode will be a game-changer. Self-sabotage often creeps in when we least expect it, disguised as overworking, undercharging, or procrastinating. But here’s the truth: the key to moving forward lies in mastering your inner world. In this episode, I dive into five powerful takeaways that will help you unlock new levels of success: 1️⃣ Recognise Self-Sabotage Patterns: Self-sabotage isn’t always obvious. Whether it shows up as fear of failure, perfectionism, or procrastination, recognising these patterns is the first step to breaking free—so you can stop holding yourself back and step into your potential. 2️⃣ Shift Your Perspective on Challenges: When you attach the belief "I’m failing" to your struggles, it keeps you stuck. But shifting your narrative to "I’m learning" creates emotional resilience, making it easier to grow through challenges and come out stronger on the other side. 3️⃣ Align Your Actions with Belief: Business strategies alone won’t move you forward if your inner world isn’t aligned. Learn how to integrate mindset, emotional resilience, and energy alignment so that every step you take moves you closer to your vision, instead of creating more resistance. 4️⃣ Build Emotional Capacity to Hold Success: Scaling isn’t just about doing more—it’s about becoming the person who can hold more. This means creating a business that feels sustainable and expansive, where your nervous system is regulated, and your energy is protected. 5️⃣ Tap Into Self-Trust: True success comes when you trust yourself to lead with clarity and authenticity. When you embody self-trust, it becomes easier to attract aligned clients, make empowered decisions, and create a thriving business without constant second-guessing. This episode is all about shifting your inner narrative, embracing challenges, and becoming the version of yourself who can hold the success you desire—emotionally, mentally, and energetically.

    EP 137 🌿 Reclaiming Your Worth & Breaking Free From the "Too Cheap" Trap

    I used to believe lowering my prices would attract more clients. The truth? It only attracted more doubt. If you’ve been undercharging because you’re scared the market won’t pay your worth, it’s time for a shift. Your inner world reflects your business, and undercharging often reveals deeper fears. Are you ready to reclaim your value? In this episode of Alive and Thriving, we dive into a powerful topic that’s holding many entrepreneurs back—pricing yourself too low and the deeper reasons behind it. If you've been feeling stuck, undercharging, or questioning whether your audience will pay what you’re worth, this is for you. Takeaways: The Real Meaning Behind Low Prices – Discover what’s truly beneath your need to lower your prices, whether it’s fear, imposter syndrome, or the story you’ve been telling yourself about money. Shifting from Scarcity to Value – Learn how to move from a scarcity mindset to positioning yourself as a must-have, even in challenging economic times. The Risks of Underpricing – Understand how undercharging can diminish your credibility and attract clients who aren’t aligned with the transformation you offer.

    EP 135: Rewire your brain and energy for success with future pacing

    I'm going to introduce to you one of my favourite manifestation techniques that has formed part of my practice for years and had the most incredible impact on my life. It's hard to see the future clearly sometimes, isn't it? We get caught up in the day-to-day and lose sight of our long-term goals and future self. That's where future pacing comes in. In this episode, we'll explore what future pacing is, how it works, and my step-by-step guide to help you master this technique. Never Heard of Future Pacing?Future pacing (also known as mental rehearsal) is a powerful technique that involves mentally stepping into a future scenario and experiencing it as if it's already happening. From an energetic perspective, this process allows you to align your vibrational frequency with the desired outcome, attracting it into your reality. By visualising your success and feeling the emotions associated with it, you're essentially creating a blueprint for the universe to follow. In this episode, you will expect to: Learn the exact future pacing process I used to manifest my exact home and more Program your brain to seek out opportunities and experiences that align with your goals. Learn how to align your vibrational frequency with your desired outcome and manifest your dreams.
