54. Taking The Time To Fill Your Cup

I recently went up North to visit my sister on the farm she attends to and it was a much needed break to clear my head, find a change of pace, and fill my cup amidst a season of supporting our father through his cancer fight. My journey was filled with driving the dog my sister rescued to her new home, watching her learn what her new normal was, experiencing an A's game, and watching the stars shine brightly at night. In trying times we often tell ourselves over and over again that we are "fine." When in reality the external noise continues to weigh us down. Taking a moment, no matter how brief, to ourselves is essential in supporting those we need to. As the saying goes, "we must fill our own cups before we can fill the cups of others." Getting to spend a week away at the start of summer was just what my cup needed.

53. Time For A Transition

We all go through transition periods in our life and I'm currently in a massive one for myself. On this week's episode I not only talk about the transitional phases I am in personally, but I share with you the transition this podcast is taking. We are migrating from Sex and Money with Jess to Love Always, Jess. It feels more aligned, so let's welcome in a new era and embrace the change!

51. Government Shutdown: Financial Tips To Survive

Currently there is no end in sight and millions of Americans are left feeling the pain and struggle of not receiving a paycheck or government benefits. In this episode, we look at 3 steps to help make it through the hard times. As valid as it is to want to give up, it is as important as ever to find a way to keep pushing through.

50. Closure: Is It Really That Necessary?

If we already know the answer to what it is we are seeking, what is the point of closure and why do we feel a deep seeded desire to find it? Closure is something we have all sought out in life, but looking back on it, did it provide the finality to whatever situation you were in? Did it create more confusion or continue the drive inside to keep pushing to obtain the outcome you ultimately wanted? In this episode we discuss why we seek closure to begin with and how we can choose instead to walk away from it instead.
