I've been thinking about how I show up here...


Hey Reader 🖤

Real talk: if you've been opening these emails for the last few weeks, you've gotten a lot of 'Victim to Villain energy' from me. That's been intentional because I know that some of you *needed* to hear it.

But I want to ask you something honestly:

When was the last time you read one of these and felt seen...not sold to? When was the last time something I wrote made you put your phone down and just breathe for a second?

Because that's what this newsletter was built for. And lately, it's been doing a different job. It was time to call myself out, so here's what's about to change...

This space is going back to what it was always meant to be: the place where the real shit lives.

  1. These are the reflections, the truths, & the questions you didn't know you were sitting with until someone else named them.
  2. The stuff I can't compress into a caption/pieces of my work that don't fit anywhere else (especially since I don't plan on using Facebook/Instagram moving forward).

Some weeks it'll be a longer piece, the kind you might read twice.

Other weeks it'll be short. A single thought, a poem I've written, or a question to sit with.

A few things that are coming, so you know what to expect:

  1. Season 2 of the podcast is finally happening. I know I hyped it up and then let the energy fall flat...I needed it to come back as something that actually feels like where I am now, not where I was. My anticipated date for Season 2 will drop in the next couple of weeks. (You can listen in to previous episodes HERE!)
  2. Victim to Villain is still on, but I have shifted it's start date for September. I'll talk about it when it's relevant, but it won't be the main thing in your inbox anymore. (Fall enrollment is already open. Reply with "VTV" and I'll send you over the link!)
  3. And there's something else I'm building for the women who want to do this work but aren't ready (or able) to be in a room with me yet. More on that soon.
  4. As I mentioned above, I will not be using my usual social platforms as much to promote events. My plan is to utilize this weekly newsletter/blog to keep you all informed of what's coming and to interact with all of you. With that being said, The 'Sugg-Jess-tion' Box has re-opened! If there's something on your mind that you want me to write about, just ask! (The best newsletters I've written started with someone else's question!)

If you aren't interested in this newsletter/blog anymore, that's okay. There's an 'unsubscribe' link below and I won't take it personally. I'd rather you leave than stay annoyed, LOL!

Thank you for hanging out with me, I feel like this has been a constant pivot of "figuring it out". But where I've landed feels GOOD, and I can't wait share what it means for YOU.

I'll see you next week boo!

X,
Jess

You can spot the pattern, name the trigger, & explain exactly what needs to change. And still… you find yourself riiiight back in it. Am I right? 👀 Happy Saturday, I am here to wake you up & call you out (lovingly, of course)!! 🫶 Because I know you don’t struggle with knowing what to do. They struggle is actually living it, especially when you’ve been taught to prioritize being liked, needed, or “good” over being real. So we start there. We start with the gap between awareness and action....

There are seasons in life where things feel steady, and some where everything feels like it’s moving at once... A relationship changes.Your work doesn’t feel the same.You’re questioning things you used to feel sure about. Sometimes it’s obvious, but other times, it’s harder to name. You just wake up one day and think, “I don’t think this fits me anymore.” Those moments can feel unsettling. This moment came to me after I gave my TEDx talk in February, and it actually shook me to my core....

*GIRL*.... I couldn't make this up if I tried. Unsure where you land on the subject, but this show has kinda taken a shape of it's own. While some like to refer to it as a cult (aka: me, LOL), I have genuinely been changed by a show about two gay hockey players. I’ve been taking this time to unpack shame in a very personal, “where does this still live in me?” kind of way. And what’s been surprising is how subtle it can be. It doesn’t always show up as something loud or obvious, like physical...
