I'm Jessica, your sister, your guide, and the voice behind this frequency.
And this, this is where your bliss begins.
Hello beautiful friends and welcome.
I am so happy to be here with you today because this episode, this one's different.
This one's special and I wouldn't feel right talking about building a blissful life if I left out what I'm about to share with you today.
So in our last episode, I promised to help you create the strongest foundation for your year ahead.
And as I thought about what that really means, what truly creates lasting change for the better, I realized I needed to share something with you.
Because the most powerful foundation isn't built on what we add to our lives, but on what we have the courage to release.
And so think about it for a moment.
What could your next year look like if you knew how to release the one thing that's been holding you back?
That's the head start that I want to give you today and in the coming episodes.
For me, this one thing was alcohol and what began as a social companion, a way to feel accepted and belong, gradually became my personal and professional ceiling,
dimming the light that I knew I was meant to share with the world.
And so I've waited almost three years to fully share this part of my path because I really wanted to honor the process and ensure that my decision was anchored in unwavering 100% certainty.
And today, I can say that it is.
So over the next four episodes, I'll be sharing my complete path to liberation, mind, body, spirit, and heart.
Exactly how I freed myself from the one thing that was holding my dreams hostage.
Because whether it's an addiction, an autopilot behavior, a mindset block or anything of the sort.
Most of us all have that one thing that we know is holding us back from reaching our next level.
And so the first step is to know that no matter where you find yourself today, give yourself grace and compassion.
Because our limitations are actually part of our very own soul blueprint.
We are given these sacred challenges because they are designed for our spiritual evolution.
And so within this blueprint, our soul has specific obstacles to overcome so that we can rise into the full and beautiful lives that each of us are destined for.
As I dove deeper into my healing and spiritual evolution, I began experiencing moments of pure bliss like I'd never known before.
And today, that bliss is a main character in my life.
And so I knew that if I could help others feel this, even for a moment, that their lives would change forever.
And so here we are.
Let's build that foundation for the new year together, starting with the courage to look at what needs to be released so that you can fully embrace what's waiting to emerge.
And so they say, "Your story is your offering."
And so here is mine.
My dad always said that alcohol took my sparkle away.
And he's right.
You know, I wasn't myself when I drank and I wasn't one of those people who could just have one and be done.
One would always lead to more, followed by regret the next day.
And it was a cycle that had me in its grip for longer than I ever wanted.
And so my story with alcohol begins like many others in childhood where I watched it become a normal way of living.
My parents divorced when I was young and while they remained friends, their social world revolved around drinking.
You know, happy hours, weekends at the lake, Sunday football, holidays.
You know, pretty much every single activity that we did involved alcohol, which ultimately became my blueprint for connection.
You know, growing up as an only child, I spent a lot of time alone.
Even though I knew my parents loved me deeply, their careers and social lives often meant I was left to entertain myself.
And so I remember I would go to school, come home, do my homework, watch my afternoon lineup of shows.
You know all the greats, right?
"Say by the bell" and "Days of our lives" and "9210".
It's like, man, I lived for these shows.
You know, but if I'm honest, the only thing that was ever really next to me was either a tostino's pizza or like a Tupperware bowl full of cinnamon toast crunch.
And I don't know, this is like what I can remember doing pretty much every single day.
I gained a lot of weight, I was really lost in who I was, and I just didn't really have much direction.
You know, not a lot of middle schoolers do, I'm sure.
But by the time freshman year hit, I was over feeling this way.
I didn't want to feel sad anymore.
I didn't want to feel alone. I didn't want to feel grossed out in my own body.
I wanted a change. I wanted to feel pretty. I wanted to fit in and be liked and feel like I actually belonged.
And so I did what any young girl looking for attention does.
You know, throwing myself into extreme diets, obsessive exercise, metabolism pills.
You name it, I tried it. And it worked. At least on the surface.
You know, suddenly I was the popular pretty girl that everyone wanted to hang with.
You know, I had the cool house, the cool basement, the hot mom, which don't even get me started on how much that drove me up the wall.
But all that being said, this popularity came with a price.
And throughout my school years, this constant need to belong and feel accepted, deepened, and alcohol became my best buddy.
The only way I really knew how to connect and make new friends.
And by the time I started my corporate career, it was so normalized that the cycle of happy hours and networking events and working through hangovers just felt like a normal part of being successful.
You know, it's what everyone did, right? Work hard, play harder.
And so it took losing my own mom to force a rock bottom that ultimately became my solid ground.
An opportunity for real change in my life.
And what followed wasn't just another attempt at change.
It was a spiritual awakening that would reshape my entire reality.
And I realized deep in my bones, this true revival that I was seeking would require leaving behind everything I ever knew.
And so I made a very difficult choice, ending a three year relationship with someone I still loved to find the love within myself.
And so guided by the whispers of God, I packed up a U-Haul and drove towards a new life in sunny California.
Where my real journey to freedom would begin.
And so my little condo on the water became more than a home.
It became my sanctuary for healing, where I confronted my shadows head on.
I journaled, I meditated, I prayed every single day. And slowly but surely happy hours became sound baths.
Sunday mimosas became Sunday service.
Numbing out became tuning in.
And my heart became more and more hopeful that I could actually do this.
That I could actually let go of this darkness that haunted me for way too long.
And so two days after my 38th birthday on April 4th, 2022, I made the decision to embrace a life without alcohol.
And with each step forward, I shed another layer of fear and doubt.
And began to see myself and the world in a completely new light.
This letting go has become my proudest accomplishment and has taken my greatest strength.
And now I sit here today knowing with 100% certainty that my purpose is to guide others who are also seeking their own light and liberation.
Because this path from shadows to getting my sparkle back has become my testimony to the resilience of the human spirit.
A reminder that within each of us burns a divine flame of freedom.
And above us shines divine rays of love that are waiting to bring each and every one of us back to life.
Your timeline is always your own.
And change comes when you're ready.
And when you are ready, know that you're not alone on this path to true and lasting freedom.
Speaking of lasting freedom, you know what I've noticed about this journey of awakening?
There's something profound that happens when we first begin to wake up to our limitations.
It's like being in this delicate dance between awareness and action.
We start to notice how we've just been going through the motions of life without really taking the time to look at anything deeper.
And there's this quiet whisper inside telling us that there must be more, that surely our dreams should feel more free, that we should feel more alive.
But here's the divine truth that I've learned.
That whisper, it's not just discontent.
It's your soul trying to guide you home.
I saw this play out clearly with my mom.
She was this beautiful, creative soul, a poet at heart who dreamed of working with animals.
But life happened. You know, pregnancy, bills, responsibilities.
And before she knew it, she was climbing the corporate ladder at my grandfather's dealership.
And she got caught up in what looked like success from the outside.
The promotions, the happy hours, the boys club acceptance.
And she rose to the top.
But at what cost?
She'd tell me about her dreams of a different life.
The white picket fence, the horses in the backyard, true love.
But her dreams got buried under the weight of what seemed practical, what seemed expected.
The alcohol and toxic work culture didn't just dimmer light.
They convinced her that her dimness was normal.
And this is where so many of us find ourselves, knowing something isn't quite right, but afraid to look deeper.
Because once we really see it, once we acknowledge that maybe this isn't what we're meant for, then what?
You know, it feels safer to pour another glass of wine, to stay in the familiar of discomfort, than to step into the unknown.
And you know what? Sometimes we're not always ready for that step. And that's perfectly okay.
We all have our own paths, our own timelines, our own sacred moment of readiness.
And so the key isn't forcing yourself to be ready.
It's being honest about where you are.
Because true change, soul level transformation, requires a willingness to do whatever it takes.
If you're not there yet, honor that.
But if you're feeling that stirring, that quiet knowing that it's time for something different, that's your soul speaking.
That's your higher self reaching down to help you rise.
My mom's story didn't end with the happily ever after that she dreamed of, but her journey taught me something invaluable.
Our limitations aren't just habits or patterns.
They're the very things keeping us from our soul's truest happiness.
And so the question isn't whether we need to change.
The question is, are we ready to remember who we really are?
