🐝 Hey, I saved you a seat in "The Hive"


Reader, I’ll be real with you.

I was never much of a 'journaler'. Sitting down with a notebook always felt forced to me. So when I asked my good friend Amy to join me as a practitioner for our space, KNOWING that journaling was her thing... I was intrigued.

I have a ton of excuses as to why I don't journal. It's also never been "intuitive for me", and always thought it was supposed to look a certain way.

Since I have been in her presence and attending her Circles, I started to write poetry. 🤯 Something I NEVER thought I would do.

With that being said, the holidays are upon us... and I want to encourage you to find spaces to discover your true self. Though I lead Circle, it has absolutely transformed my life and my relationships with other women.

This is the time of year when things can start to feel heavy and lonely. Having a circle like this is like building yourself a chosen family... the kind you *actually* want to sit with, so you don’t have to move through the season on your own.

I host Circle in my home, which has become our hive: warm, wild, and sacred all at once. 🐝 Every circle here reminds me why we do this: women showing up real, raw, messy, honest. Together.

Amy’s holding the space, but you are the channel.

The words you didn’t even know were waiting will find you. And inside this hive we’ve built, you’ll feel that magic of being connected.

Not just to yourself, but to everyone in the room.

🖋️✨ Amy's Circles are every 3rd Friday of the month. Spots are limited for "Ink & Intuition", grab yours now.

Much Love,
Jess

The holidays can light up your nervous system like a Christmas tree. 🎄 Family dynamics. Busy schedules. Pressure to “make it perfect.” Even the good things—travel, excitement, nostalgia—can flip the same internal switches that go off when we’re in danger. That’s your HPA axis talking. It’s the stress-response highway that runs from your brain to your adrenal glands, pumping out cortisol and adrenaline whenever life feels “too much.” The problem? Your body can’t tell the difference between a...

Let’s be real, Reader. This time of year, everyone’s shouting “be grateful!” like it’s a magic spell that’s supposed to fix everything. 🙄 But what happens when gratitude feels fake? When your nervous system is fried, your boundaries are thin, and you’re trying to convince yourself you’re thankful for things that actually hurt? Yeah… that’s where The Gratitude Myth comes in. In this week’s episode, I sit down with my friend Carrie Kish for a raw, real, and slightly rebellious conversation...

Pictured here: my good friend Michael Mattie’s cup 💕 (The one he’d use every time he was at my home.) He is a dear friend of our community that departed last May. A few weeks ago, I hosted my first Friendsgiving for my Sacred Circle girls and decided to spend some time in quiet reflection... and here is what I realized: The more time goes on, the more I understand duality. How I can hold deep gratitude and even deeper sadness. I’m learning to live in the contradiction … where love and loss...
