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.

    294. How to Access Your Heart's Intuitive Abilities with HeartMath Trainer Andrea Trank

    We are at a really exciting time in history where western science is finally developing the technology to explain and “prove” what ancient wisdom has taught for thousands of years. One of those things is the concept that the heart is the center of who we are (NOT the brain.) Our hearts and our brains both produce electromagnetic frequencies. In fact, we are electrical beings, and this is how most communication inside our bodies works. Our nervous system is built on electromagnetic frequencies, as is our mental health, our hormonal health, our connection to Nature (example: grounding), and as it turns out… … so is our Intuition. It’s ALL signaling, electrical signaling. The electromagnetic frequency of our heart can be measured, as well as our brain’s, and it turns out that the emf of the heart is 3x bigger than the brain! Our heart starts beating in the womb at 5 weeks old, but our brain waves don’t start until month 7. The emf of our heart extends out about 3 feet beyond our physical bodies, providing a scientific explanation of our aura, and an explanation for how we can pick up on the “vibes” of others in a room without even speaking. The HeartMath Institute has been studying the emf of the heart and observed SIGNIFICANT measurable differences in different emotional states. When we are in more of a positive or “high vibe” emotion, the heart signaling reaches a beautiful state of coherence. We will then be able to RESONATE with other people and experiences available in the electromagnetic field around us that are a match for our own frequency. This explains the saying, “We don’t get what we want. We get what we ARE.” It also becomes very CLEAR to us what does NOT match, what does not vibe, part of how our Intuition serves us. HeartMath also proved through a series of experiments that our heart detects information BEFORE our brains do… AND the heart signals a response in our bodies and emotional states even before we are cognitively aware. Press play on this episode to hear HeartMath Instructor Andrea Trank tell us about all this and more!

    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.
