Jessicah Travis — Fri, 17 Jun 2022 15:15:35 -0700

Dacy Gillespie intuitively guides her clients to discover what they feel best in. She helps them let go of the external messages they’ve been given about what they should wear and get to the heart of what’s making them uncomfortable about their clothes. Through their work building a functional wardrobe, Dacy’s clients make a mindset shift from thinking they need to wear what’s flattering to unapologetically taking up space in the world.

After a lifetime of jobs in high-stress careers that didn’t suit her highly-sensitive, introverted personality, Dacy started mindful closet in 2013 in an attempt to create a more emotionally sustainable lifestyle. She has two boys, ages 3 and 7, and a husband she adores who is well aware of her mental load.

Jenna Dayle: The Practice Of Intimacy (E28)

Jessicah Travis — Fri, 26 Nov 2021 01:00:00 -0800

Meet Jenna Dayle...poet, writer, artist and so much more. Her story challenges me to dive deeper into my understanding of intimacy and what it takes to heal from codependency.

Jenna puts it like this, "Becoming intimate and knowing yourself can help you recenter and reroot to your core & experiences when you are in the thralls of codependency. People have a lot to offer us, even when we think we have more to offer them. Learning to get comfortable giving and receiving intimacy can happen slowly and in tiny ways. You can build a life where you aren't 'needed' but loved."

This episode is packed full of wisdom, grounding, and inspiration. @jennadayle will open your soul to find its voice. I left this conversation in anticipation for pause and sacred listening. I think you will too.

Christina Carlson: Being With What Is (E27)

Jessicah Travis — Fri, 05 Nov 2021 01:00:00 -0700

Christina and I had never met nor had we spoken prior to this interview for the Connected Podcast. But she might just be my poster child for what it means to connect our human stories. We aren't so far apart in this world and sharing our stories is both good and spiritual.

Christina shares her story of a journey towards truth and self-connection. These journeys come with intention and with struggle. As she allows me into her story, she unknowingly frees me from one of mine.

You will be inspired to be present, trust yourself and seek new depths of spirituality. You will also be given permission to heal from old narratives that no longer serve you. Yes... it's a loaded episode. And don't forget to share this one...trust yourself that the person who comes to mind is the one who needs to hear this story. Remember...our stories matter!

Lena Watt: Releasing the Pedestal Me (E25)

Jessicah Travis — Fri, 23 Jul 2021 01:00:00 -0700

It's ok to release a previous version of you...no matter how wonderful you thought she was. Making room for the new version of you is brave and it requires intention. But healing and wholeness come in the release AND the embrace of all the parts of you. Lena Watt's story will inspire you to live in gratitude for the "Pedestal Me" while enjoying the beauty and power of the "Today Me", right now, in this very moment.

Get Connected with Lena Watt:

Hello, my name is Lena Watt of Inner Compass Yoga.
Yoga isn’t something I do, it’s a way of being, not something to try to attain, reach for or seek outside of ourselves. This path begins inwardly with the self. I have been practicing yoga for 22 years now and teaching it for over 9 years. I strongly believe in the teachings and wisdom of yoga and Ayurveda, which have been a large part of my healing journey. On a very simple and basic level, we are nature, we are not separate, we are all interconnected. Through different mindfulness, ayurvedic, and yoga therapy practices and tools, I hope to help empower individuals through self-love and acceptance to connect deeper with their hearts, their intuition, and their own innate wisdom and ability to heal.

Mikalah Travis: I Chose To Live (E23)

Jessicah Travis — Fri, 25 Jun 2021 01:00:00 -0700

This is the single most important thing I have ever done. Period. My daughter shares her story with me, and you. From song to addiction to recovery to gastric bypass surgery to LIVING! Meet my hero, Mikalah Travis.

After you listen to this episode, watch/listen to this song she covered. It was my gift the morning of my first craniotomy. I listened to it for the first time since my surgery 3 years ago as I prepared this episode for release. If I could have put it at the end of the podcast, I would have. It moved me to tears to hear and see her at a time that was so pivotal in her freedom. And how full circle it feels to listen now after her recent near-death experience...I dare you to watch without an experience of your own.

Athena Pivonka : Loving Myself To The Otherside (E22)

Jessicah Travis — Fri, 18 Jun 2021 01:00:00 -0700

Athena was my coaching buddy in school. It was a divine match and I quickly learned that to know Athena is a gift. In this episode she shares her journey through anxiety, raising daughters, and leaving corporate America. She also shares how losing her marriage helped her find herself. This woman is a coach you want cheering you through your life transitions. She knows what it takes to love yourself to the other side.

About Athena:
It’s my mission to empower women to reconnect to their true selves, accept and love themselves as they are, and put themselves first. I help women going through transitions in their life, gain clarity, courage, & confidence to find themselves again and create space in their lives to do what they love and brings them joy.

During my 21-year career at IBM, I found myself balancing family, career, and life. As we women tend to do, I put everyone else first and ultimately felt like I lost myself.

Through my own journey, I came to realize I loved helping and supporting others, and my desire to become a coach was born. I saw the benefits coaching has brought to my own life and I’m passionate about helping other women who feel disconnected from themselves transform their lives.

Catharina Joubert: Campfires For A Digital World (E21)

Jessicah Travis — Fri, 21 May 2021 01:00:00 -0700

Remember the sacred circle of a campfire where we would discover, unveil and connect the stories of who we are and what we've experienced? Do you still join the circle under the stars? Or do you find your world pulled by the digital scroll of social media instead? Catharina Joubert is bringing back the sacredness of these circles through the medium of audio...podcasting! We couldn't be a better match in this audio share. Catherina didn't create her business, Creators Abroad, by accident but instead made intentional choices to move towards helping humans create spaces where stories are told, souls are connected and lives are shared. Even from across the great ponds of the world (as Catharina and I were), she sees the art, inspiration, and power of audio connection. Join our campfire and listen in as Catharina shares her story.

Catharina Joubert is a South African nomad who thrives on creativity that bursts with soul. She's had to build a life from scratch in several countries, including Japan, France, and England. Previously a foreign language expert, her mission was to help students open doors to new and exciting professional opportunities and improve cross-cultural understanding. As a Teach First ambassador, she taught in the roughest
schools in England building an extensive toolkit of how to entertain, engage audiences while teaching invaluable knowledge.

Living a dual life as an Arts and Music journalist and travel blogger, she eventually quit teaching to start the podcast and production studio: Creators Abroad.
Her purpose? To build bridges between people, professions, cultures, and countries, interviewing creatives about their journeys, the lives they left behind, and the dreams they built and helping small businesses reestablish valuable relationships with their clients through the most intimate connection possible: audio.

Jill Brem: The Lyme Life (E18)

Jessicah Travis — Fri, 09 Apr 2021 05:00:00 -0700

Runner, Triathlete, Mom, Friend, Sister, Daughter….these were roles Jill found easy until Lyme Disease forced her focus to simply catching her breath. Her story is raw and powerful as she shares with me (and you) the pummeling effects of a life turned upside down by a chronic and painful illness. But my courageous friend is finding REVIVAL in her journey as she creates her own beautiful space in this world. You will be challenged, inspired, and incredibly grateful as you let her story permeate your soul. Maybe you will connect with her story because you, too, journey a “chronic” life, or maybe you connect because you want learn how to come alongside someone who battles like Jill. Either way, Jill will change you!

Jill is a Missouri native. She moved to the Seattle, WA area at the age of twenty to attend a natural health school and pursue her studies in holistic nutrition. At Bastyr University she obtained her Bachelor of Science in Nutrition, simultaneously completing her massage training in downtown Seattle at Brenneke School of Massage. Taking off the next ten years to raise a family, Jill utilized her knowledge in nutrition to provide wholesome meals for her children. She has grown her knowledge in nutrition throughout the years specializing in unique dietary needs. Her life now revolves around healing from chronic Lyme disease that has plagued her for the past five years, but her initial onset was at age sixteen. Struggling to maintain a job outside of the home Jill recently started a blog lymerevival.com to help others struggling with Lyme disease. Here she hopes people will find useful information on Lyme disease, natural treatments for Lyme, holistic nutrition to support specialized dietary needs, as well as community.

Erika Addington: Nothing Stops A Teacher’s Heart (E17)

Jessicah Travis — Mon, 22 Mar 2021 14:56:20 -0700

There is no arguing that our teachers have had a heroic role during this pandemic. It was important to me to begin hearing the stories of women who have played significant roles in our communities during such unknown times. Erika shares her story of loving our kids, as teachers so beautifully do, and also managing her own risks in the process.

We have chosen to leave politics out of this for the sake of hearing the heart of being a teacher navigating through the rapid changes.

I hope that you will feel as I do after this conversation: an immense desire to thank and support our teachers. Their resiliency and hope have been a light to our children.

Please share these stories of beautiful women. Their stories matter and cause us all to rise to even more empowering versions of ourselves.

Dr. Hillary McBride: I Can Trust Her (E16)

Jessicah Travis — Fri, 11 Dec 2020 05:00:00 -0800

Trusting the deep Knowing within myself became key to healing from years of gaslighting abuse. Coming back to my body and trusting "her" as my ally was the work Dr. Hillary McBride, therapist, and author, did with me in my Year of Jess. Hillary holds sacred space in my heart. She is one of my beautiful healers. In this episode, we share how I found her and talk about the work and play we did in Tanzania Africa together. We talk about a topic she was strategic in helping me heal from...Gaslighting. This is the story of how embodiment was key to healing me from the trauma of gaslighting abuses. I hope that this episode brings you healing as well.

Dr. Hillary McBride is best known as co-host of the Liturgists podcast and host of the CBC podcast Other People’s Problems. But that work has only been possible with years of clinical practice as a counselor and research as a psychologist, a base of expertise that includes work at the intersection of spirituality and mental health, trauma and trauma therapies, body image, eating disorders, perinatal mental health, and the menopausal transition. Her first book, Mothers, Daughters, and Body Image: Learning to Love Ourselves as We Are, was published in 2017; she was the senior editor of a textbook which was released in 2018, Embodiment and Eating disorders: Theory, Research, Prevention, and Treatment, and her next book, The Wisdom of Your Body, will be out in 2021.

That's my Mom! She's the guardian of the dying. She walks with them as they leave this world and enter the next. Being a Hospice nurse is a calling and it's a calling Debi Massey discovered much later in life. It was a second birth into a practice of healing, care, and respite that nurtured more than just her patients. They healed her. My mom values the human story like no one I know. This episode shows you how.

Debi Massey is my mom. But that's just the start. We share sacred passions...the power of stories.

She is a rebuilder of her life, faith, and relationships. She is a guide. She is a giver.
She is also an author. From her work and healing as a Hospice nurse, she told their stories from the perspective of her receiving them. She entered into their stories at their most critical hour. Her book, They Healed Me: Stories, Conversations, and Connections At The End of Life, is a legacy of them and how she grew and healed because of it.

It's my 2-year tumorversary! My husband, Casey, takes the mic to interview me...and I have much to celebrate. It doesn't take brain surgery to make fragmented lives whole, but it sure woke me up to how disconnected I was with myself. Here's to chapters in our stories that stop us in our tracks and the follow-up chapters that make us soar! Cheers!

My husband and I also have a podcast called Sacred Spaces: A Podcast with Casey & Jess where you can find the entirety of my story...our story. You can also visit my husband's podcast called Lenses as he explores conversations that challenge his white, male, cisgender, heterosexual lenses by learning how to view life through a different set of lenses. We are both passionate about human connections, stories, and growth. Subscribe to any or all of these on your favorite podcast platform.

Casey owns his own company, Lead Up Leadership Development. He is passionate about developing people into dynamic leaders who change communities and businesses. You can find out more about his business at www.timetoleadup.com.

Karly Borden: This Is My Body. This Is My Home. (E3)

Jessicah Travis — Sat, 30 May 2020 08:00:00 -0700

Karly Borden of The Public Run Club talks with me about her role in my healing process, our trip to Tanzania and why coaching runners into a new relationship with their bodies is her passion. She has challenged me to take this quirky new body I have and make it my home.

Karly Borden's Bio:
I'm the coach and founder of The Public Run Club. I currently live in Santa Barbara, California, which is where I attended college, ran cross-country for my school, completed my first marathon, and where I began recovery from disordered eating and exercise compulsion. During this time, all of my treatment centered on establishing a new relationship with food, and exactly zero involved creating a new relationship with exercise. Over the next 12 years, through several types of therapy, personal study, and story-telling with peers, I worked towards health that not only tolerated movement but embraced it as an integral part of my wholeness. After coaching friends and family for years, I decided to put my own training front and center and became a certified RRCA coach in 2016 with the ultimate goal of creating a running club to help women proactively untangle from a complicated relationship with exercise and their bodies. We’re now a global group of women who are turning towards the stories of our bodies using running as our lens.

What if your talents were your spiritual superpower? What if the most expansive experience of God resided in your next creation? What if you were born to create?
