We’re taught to fix our health by changing what we eat or how we move — but what about the patterns we carry within? In this episode, we unpack the emotional side of wellness and why so many people feel disconnected from their worth even when they’re “doing everything right.”

Jessica, a holistic health practitioner with close to 30 years of experience, shares how healing happens when we address the unseen layers of health. Together, we talk about breaking old patterns, honoring your value, and creating a more compassionate relationship with yourself — one that supports real, lasting change.
