Today on the podcast, I am so honored to have on one of the most influential people in my life, energy healer and masseuse, Jessica Shannon. I got introduced to Jessica when I was playing in Utah. A teammate’s friend swore by her. At this point, I didn’t know much about energy work, but I was willing to try anything to heal my concussion and get back to playing soccer.
In my first session, I was mind blown. Jessica was able to tell me things about myself that there’s no way she would have known without having some sort of gift. I was astounded by her skills. This began my fascination with all things energy.
For the past few years, I’ve dove deep into the art of energy. Put simply, everything is made up of atoms which, at their core, are energy. So, it would make sense that focusing specifically on our energy would have profound effects.
I’ve seen several other energy workers over the years, but Jess remains my favorite.
If you’re new to this work, I feel you, I was skeptical at first too. One of the things that draws me to Jess is her to deliver information in a really digestible way.
I’m stoked for you to learn about her and what she does!
In this episode, Jess talks about:
-the chakra system and how it’s integral to our health
-the WILD miracle story about how energy work saved her daughter’s life
-why energy work is powerful for athletes
-her ability to read her clients “life contracts”(part of your purpose. Mine was spot on)
And more!
This one goes deeeep.
Enjoy!
I recently saw a tweet from a father of an 8 year old daughter who just found out she didn’t make her softball team.
The first thing she said to her dad after she found out the news: “Alright dad grab your glove, it’s time to work even harder.”
This tweet received thousands of retweets.
It rubbed me the wrong way.
Why?
Because working harder nearly destroyed me.
Working harder is wildly celebrated in our society and, as a kid, I wanted more than anything to be celebrated.
Working harder was a coping mechanism for me because I subconsciously didn’t believe I was good enough without it.
I thought working harder was the only way to reach my dreams.
Until, I discovered another way.
If you are working hard, thriving and truly happy, then fist bump to you, keep going!! I support you. This message isn’t for you.
But, if you are someone who has worked your ass off and you haven’t been getting the results you want or you feel like something is missing from this whole hard work=success puzzle, then, I feel you! I think you’ll dig my latest podcast episode “‘why your hard work isn’t paying off”
In the episode I talk about:
And more.
I promise you, there is another way to go after your dreams with way less struggle and much more ease.
In today’s episode I interview U.S. Army lieutenant, former NFL linebacker, and motivational speaker Caleb Campbell.
I stumbled upon Caleb on instagram and was captivated by his words.
Caleb, a lifelong athlete, writes a lot about vulnerability, shame letting go, and finding where you belong in the world.
Caleb attended the United States Military Academy Preparatory School, and went on to play at West Point.
After an impressive senior season, he was drafted by the Detroit Lions. However, the day he was supposed to sign, a government policy was revoked and he had to report to the military for two years.
He attacked those two years with the attitude “I’m going to get into the best shape of my life”. After his service, Caleb re-joined the Lions. He later signed contracts with the Indianapolis Colts and Kansas City Chiefs.
Although it had been his childhood dream to play in the NFL, he found himself incredibly unhappy. I love that Caleb is vulnerable about his experiences and very openly talks about his shame.
He also coined a term that I’m obsessed with: “holy frustration”-when you know something isn’t working and you need to let go but don’t know what the eff is going to happen next.
How good is that?
