Jessica never would have described herself as an anxious or stressed person. But in her early twenties, her body told a different story.
In this deeply personal episode of Meet Your Body, Jessica shares how years of chronic stress quietly affected her health, the physical symptoms that changed the course of her life, and the lessons she learned as she began healing. She also opens up about how chronic stress resurfaced years later, impacting her nervous system in new ways and leading her to rethink what it truly means to care for herself.
Jessica shares the practices that have helped her regulate her nervous system, reduce chronic stress, and create more peace in her daily life. Along the way, she reflects on the pressure to do more, be more, and please everyone—and why those patterns can take such a profound toll on our bodies.
If you've ever felt overwhelmed, constantly "on," or wondered why your body seems to be carrying more than your mind realizes, this honest conversation will remind you that healing begins with understanding, self-compassion, and learning to work with your body instead of against it.
