PLEASE READ THIS IF YOU ARE AN ACTIVE MEMBER OF OUR COMMUNITY!


Hey hey, Reader,

Our Facebook group turned FIVE YEARS OLD a few months ago and it's honestly wild to me...the amount of love and community that have been shared there is so special, and I am really ready to revitalize this space into what's next for all of you.

For some time now, this group has been pretty stagnant. Putting the podcast on hold for the last few months has shown that to be true, but I know there is value in having an online space.

As I have gotten clear on who I am and what I hope to share with the world, my one and only "product I sell" IS community. And as I build, that will continue to be the forefront of everything I do.

With that, I have decided I will be slowly moving the Facebok community over to a Telegram Channel. It is bittersweet, but between Facebook just being a sh*tty place to show up nowadays AND constantly fighting algorithms/bots, it's not the best thing I can offer you (you're far too special for something like what we've built).

I am done fighting.
I want ease.
I want a space that feels AUTHENTIC... and I don't want you to feel like you have to sift through a million notifications to just find this group anymore.

Please know, I am not going to delete this group, as it houses hours of online classes and discussions that have a TON OF VALUE (use the search function inside the group to look up different topics if you're curious!).

It's also like... my baby. My whole journey has an entrepreneur happened in this space, and it will never be something I will ever get rid of.

I am going to test this out, see how it works, and I would encourage you to download the app & please give a try with me. This iteration will remain free to any who join, with the option for paid upgrades within the channel (*if you have Telegram and are apart of any groups, this feature is a bit different!). Here is the link to join "The Hot Takes Hive": channel: https://t.me/thehottakeshive

I have been utilizing Telegram for a few years now, and found that I need to work SMARTER not HARDER (aka: "don't fix what ain't broken!!!"). This channel feature within Telegram allows me to still go LIVE, host discussions, and in general, feels a little less overwhelming because you can literally come and go as you please without needing to go on Facebook.

I named it this because ever since I moved Sacred Circle to my home, "The Hive" got its name pretty organically. It feels right to host both my in-person and online community all under that same umbrella (also: Sacred Circle and the podcast operate in "The Hive" anyway!)

There are still kinks I am working out so I ask that you are patient with me as I figure some of this out! *There is a PINNED POST that you need to read when you join so you know how to use the space (in the simplest of terms). I am open to feedback, questions about how to use the channel, and anything you may have to say as we navigate this change-over. It really feels like the right move for me, my business, and most importantly: all of you.

Everything is figureoutable. But for now, it makes sense for me to move to
-One feed,-A group chat feature (and a way to mute it to so you're not overwhelmed), and
-A simpler way to connect everyone without the extra noise.

*I'll be going LIVE in the FACEBOOK GROUP to talk about this soon, as I will be slowly transitioning members over a little at a time.

Please consider helping me test this out - it would mean the absolute world to me to continue this journey with all of you!

Thank you for always being in my corner. I love you immensely.

X,
Jess

Not your typical love-and-light bullsh*t. Just my subtle (okayyyy, sometimes NOT-so-subtle 😘) way of calling you OUT & calling you BACK to yourself, all while reminding you you're not alone in any of this.

Reader, You know those moments when an emotion hits hard: grief, anger, anxiety, sadness...and your first instinct is either to shove it down or let it consume you? Neither one really gives us the freedom we’re looking for. Instead of fighting your emotions or getting swallowed by them, try this check-in: Step 1: Ask yourself: Am I willing to accept this?Not “do I like it” or “do I want it here forever,” but simply: Am I willing to allow it to exist right now? This is where we honor what’s...

Reader, we’re taught from a young age that safety comes from sticking to the plan. The map feels comforting: dotted lines, clear markers, a “right” way forward. But here’s the thing, babe: the map was drawn by someone else. Parents. Teachers. Society. And while it might have guided them, it was never meant to chart your unique path. That’s why your body starts to rebel. You wake up with a heaviness in your chest before heading into the job that “should” make you happy. You picture the house,...

Hey Reader, Think back to when you first noticed the rules. Maybe it was at the dinner table, when you were told to lower your voice while your brother was praised for being bold.Maybe it was at school, when speaking up got you labeled “bossy” while silence earned you a gold star.Or maybe it was later, when you dimmed your light in relationships because shining too brightly made someone else uncomfortable. Little by little, you learned the choreography: smile when you’d rather scream, nod...
