It's a time to honor ancestors, recharge yourself after burnout from a busy harvest season, to imitate the wisdom of Nature & release what is dead or dying in our lives, & to prepare for rebirth and transformation. Did you know? Without any contact through space and time that we know of, the ancient Celts in Ireland and the ancient Aztecs in Mexico, along with other cultures through the world, have all believed that this midpoint between Autumn and Winter is a time when the veil between worlds is its thinnest and that ancestors and faeries can come pay us visits. Even though many celebrate on October 31, we can celebrate this whole season.

“It’s not just about what happened to us. It’s the meaning we make of what happened.” As we approach the Full Moon in this month of the Vine Moon, I want to bring forward another client story and teach one of my favorite guidance concepts: Clean Pain vs. Dirty Pain. This Vine Moon lunar cycle in the Celtic Lunar Tree Calendar has been asking us to sit with Truth and Discernment. To notice the difference between a story that protects us and a story that sets us free. Some stories help us heal. Some stories keep us suffering long after the original pain has passed. In this episode, I’m sharing a client story about relational disappointment, betrayal, and the process of finding a story that was True enough to hold her healing. We’ll explore the difference between clean pain and dirty pain, why our brains are wired to make meaning, the role serotonin and psychedelic medicines may play in that process, and why healing so often involves learning to see the same story from a different vantage point. Sometimes the most healing story isn’t the one that excuses what happened. And it isn’t the one that makes someone else the villain. It’s simply the story that tells the Truth while preserving your dignity and giving you somewhere to go next. 🤍 Explore One-On-One Guidance If you want help discovering the story that will heal you, this is exactly the kind of thing we can explore together in 1:1 guidance. You don’t have to commit to months of support. Sometimes one week, one conversation, or one new way of seeing what happened can create movement. You bring what’s alive, and we follow it together. 🌿 Join Tend & Befriend This Thursday, October 22 One of the most important things about clean pain is that it asks to be witnessed. Sometimes we don’t need someone to fix what happened, tell us what it means, or help us build a case against the person who hurt us. Sometimes we simply need people who can sit beside us in what’s True, without immediately turning the pain into a bigger story about what it means about you, your future, or someone else. That’s so much of what Tend & Befriend is about. This Thursday, October 22 from 1–2:30 PM Eastern, we’re gathering live on Zoom for our next women’s circle. It’s a space to speak what’s alive, listen to what’s alive for other women, be witnessed, and remember that sometimes healing happens through finding a new story. And sometimes healing happens because someone sits beside us long enough that we no longer need the old one.

“I’m not just looking for what’s right. I’m looking for what’s Loving.” What if concealment isn’t always deception? What if keeping something private can sometimes protect dignity, preserve emotional safety, or even be the most Loving choice? In this episode, I’m sharing a client story that opened up a much bigger conversation about lying, concealment, integrity, morality, and Love. My client discovered that her partner had been using Viagra without telling her. Because of her past experiences, her nervous system immediately interpreted the omission as dishonesty and danger. But was it actually a lie? Or was it something more nuanced? We’ll explore the difference between lying and concealing, why intention and impact both matter, and how our own wounds and beliefs shape the meaning we make of someone else’s behavior. I’ll also take you back to a philosophy class during my freshman year at Bible college that completely disrupted my black-and-white understanding of morality, and into the teachings of Jesus that continue to bring me back to one central question: What is most Loving here? 🤍 Join Tend & Befriend One of the reasons nuance can feel so difficult is because we need relationships where there’s room for complexity. Where we can say “This hurt me” without needing to turn the other person into a villain. Where we can understand why someone did what they did without abandoning the Truth of our own experience. Where our friendships can hold our boundaries and our compassion, our hurt and our understanding, our Truth and someone else’s Truth. That’s so much of what Tend & Befriend is about. On Thursday, October 22 from 1–2:30 PM Eastern, we’re gathering live on Zoom for the next Tend & Befriend Circle. You don’t need to arrive with something profound to share or a problem that needs fixing. It’s simply a place to come into relationship with other women, to be witnessed, to listen, to connect, and to practice being human together. We don’t have to flatten ourselves or anyone else into good or bad, right or wrong, victim or villain. We can keep returning together to the question: What would Love have us do here? Want to Explore Your Own Story More Deeply? If conversations like this feel like oxygen to your system and there’s something in your own Life you want help untangling, you can also explore one-on-one guidance with me. We can look together at the story you’re telling, what your nervous system is responding to, what your Intuition is saying, and what a more Loving interpretation might make possible. You bring what’s alive, and we follow it together. More Ways We Can Walk Together: One-On-One Guidance Wild Wellness Women's Circle Instagram Facebook Free Resources Free Curiosity Call

“Sometimes Love says yes. Sometimes Love says no. Sometimes Love says not yet. And sometimes Love says: not yours.” In this episode, we’re exploring Vine in the Celtic Lunar Tree Calendar, a lunar month devoted to Truth, Discernment, and Timing. Vine asks us to consider not only what is True, but what to do with other people's Truth, what Truth needs to be spoken or acted on, and whether honesty always requires complete access. We’ll follow the Vine into the wisdom of grapes that have to ripen, the Ogham letter Muin and its fascinating relationship with Love and “the path of the voice,” and really practical filter questions I use in my own relationship with Truth. But Vine also takes us somewhere much more nuanced: Can concealment ever be Loving? Can privacy be Sacred? Does Integrity require complete exposure? We’ll explore the difference between lying and concealing, why context and intention matter, Blackberry’s invitation to protect Sacred spaces, and what Samhain can teach us about the Truths that remain hidden in the dark. We’ll also explore how the stories we tell about what happened to us can become their own kind of Truth, the difference between clean pain and dirty pain, and how finding a more Loving meaning can become part of our healing.

“Sometimes we think we’re looking for Clarity when what we’re actually looking for is Courage.” Recently, a really big invitation appeared in my Life. And because the decision felt so big, I wanted support outside of myself. In this episode, I’m exploring the difference between needing an answer and needing someone to help us trust the answer we already have. Because receiving intuitive guidance from another person doesn’t have to mean outsourcing our Authority. Sometimes another person can simply stand outside of all the Fear, hope, attachment, and overthinking surrounding our question and reflect back what they see. And when what they see resonates with what we already know, something shifts. Maybe intuitive guidance isn’t always about learning something new. Maybe sometimes it helps us remember something True. Mentioned in this episode: 1. 🔮 Discover Your Spiritual Gifts Do you know how your own Intuition tends to communicate with you? Maybe you know instantly through your body.

As we move deeper into autumn, you might already intuitively and naturally feel the invitation to release, reflect, and reckon—spiritually, emotionally, even financially. That’s no coincidence. It was originally a pagan day used for settling debts, honoring harvest cycles, and marking seasonal transitions, but it became associated with the archangel Michael. Even for our ancestors, the Mabon portal continued even after the date of the official equinox.

If work/life balance or the concept of balance in your life has been a struggle for you, dear God you’re not alone. I don’t think we have as much of a problem with balance in our lives.

Mabon marks the Autumn Equinox and the second harvest of the year in the Wheel of the Year. It’s a time when day and night are equal length, symbolizing balance and harmony. Referred to as the "Witches' Thanksgiving," it’s a time to give thanks for the harvest and the abundance in our lives. As the days grow shorter, we reflect on the year so far and prepare for the coming winter months. Did you know? Mabon celebrates the story of Demeter, goddess of grain, agriculture, and fertility, and her daughter Persephone. When Hades abducts Persephone and forces her to marry him in the underworld, Demeter causes the Earth to go barren. Zeus negotiates with Hades to allow Persephone to be free for half the year, so Demeter only allows abundance on Earth half the year.Even though the exact date of the equinox is September 22, we can celebrate this whole season.

Join The Soul of Money Voice-Note Book Club From September 16–October 23, we’re moving from scarcity to Sufficiency and changing our relationship with Money through Nature’s wisdom. The entire experience is asynchronous in Voxer. There are no live calls, you only need 15–60 minutes a week to participate, and you don’t even have to read the book. Enrollment closes Friday, September 18. *** I know exactly why I want more money. Do you? And if you do, does it feel compelling to you? I’ve found that when Money knows where it’s going, that’s often when it comes. Money likes direction. It likes purpose. It likes to know what it’s being invited into. In this episode, I'm sharing the reason I find most compelling and True for me, and I'm helping you think through yours. We’ll explore: • My old belief that I needed a big, charitable, world-saving vision to justify wanting more money • The years I spent going to Bible college, working as a pastor, evangelizing door-to-door, tithing, volunteering, and giving everything I had to a cause I believed was the only one that truly mattered • What it means for me to now pray to a force of Love that wants Life not merely to survive, but to Flourish • Why I believe talking to the ancestors can expand our access to Intuition, God, Love, and the Wisdom already within us • What happened when I asked my ancestors how much Money they wanted me to make—and what they wanted me to do with it Now, whenever I make a plan to earn more Money, I pray blessings over it and tell it exactly where I’m going to put it. Earning more no longer feels like chasing an arbitrary number. It feels like participating in the ancient movement of Life pouring itself forward. So I want to ask you: Do you know exactly why you want more Money? Not why you’re supposed to want it. Not the answer that sounds the most generous, responsible, spiritual, or impressive. What’s the answer that brings your whole body alive? Maybe Money is waiting to hear where you’d like it to go. *** More Ways We Can Walk Together This Season: One-On-One GuidanceWild Wellness Women’s CircleInstagramFacebookFree ResourcesFree Curiosity Call

“What if we’re not actually pursuing Intuition? What if Intuition has been pursuing us all along?” In this episode, we’re exploring Hazel in the Celtic Lunar Tree Calendar, the tree of Knowledge, Wisdom, Intuition, and inspiration. We’ll follow Hazel into old Irish stories of sacred wells, 9 Hazel trees, and the Salmon of Knowledge, where wisdom isn’t something that’s chased or achieved. It’s received. We’ll also explore what that might mean for our own relationship with Intuition. Maybe our Intuition isn’t blocked. Maybe there’s just a lot of static. Maybe the signal is already broadcasting, and our work is learning how our particular receiver works. And because Hazel doesn’t only ask us to listen, we’ll explore the other half of Intuition too: trusting what we hear enough to act on it.

Inside this free Discover Your Spiritual Gifts masterclass, we’ll explore your Human Design authority, the different intuitive and psychic senses, and the ways your own spiritual gifts may already be communicating with you that you’ve been overlooking. You don’t need to become intuitive. You already are. 🌾 A Harvest Invitation: The Soul of Money Voice-Note Book Club There’s a place where Wisdom, Intuition, and static noise feel especially alive for me right now: Money. We tend to approach money as another problem we need to figure out. We think we need a better budget, more income, more information, a better strategy, an expert, more discipline, more certainty. We keep looking outward for the thing that will finally make us feel safe. What if there’s Wisdom underneath all that noise that we haven’t been able to hear? I think there’s something deeply Natural about exploring our relationships with scarcity, abundance, and Sufficiency in this Harvest Season. Beginning September 16, we’ll spend six weeks with Lynne Twist’s book The Soul of Money, moving from scarcity toward sufficiency, and changing our relationship with money through the wisdom of Nature. This is a fully asynchronous book club, so there are no live calls to attend, and you don’t even have to read the book. I’ll read you all my favorite parts and send them to you in voice notes.

Enrollment closes Friday, September 18. *** What if your Inner Accountant doesn’t need to be pushed away, silenced, or even healed? What if she just needs a promotion? In the last episode, I introduced you to my client Kiki and shared some of the story behind a coaching conversation we had about receiving money for the spiritual work she’s already been doing for years. In this episode, with Kiki’s permission, I’m sharing that full coaching call. We talk about the part of us I’ve come to affectionately call the Inner Accountant: the part who keeps track of what’s coming in, what’s going out, what could go wrong, how much we need, and whether there’ll be Enough. And we love her—she makes some really good points. We don’t want to shame her, silence her, or exile her. Her job has been to help us survive. But maybe it’s time to upgrade her job description from merely surviving to Flourishing. In this coaching conversation, we explore: • Why it can feel easier to charge for work that drains us than for the work that brings us alive • The belief that spiritual, healing, creative, nurturing, or purposeful work shouldn’t cost money • How receiving money can expand our capacity to serve • The poverty, martyrdom, and self-sacrifice stories many of us inherited through religion • Why money can feel “icky” or gross when it enters the same room as our spiritual gifts • The difference between surviving, Sufficiency, and Flourishing • Why there’s no shame in having a contingency plan • What changes when we let practicality support our spirituality instead of treating them as opposites • The possibility that we don’t need to heal every Money Story before we start living differently The living-it-out is part of the healing. Sometimes we gotta look at the numbers. Make the plan. Let someone pay us. Allow ourselves to receive before every part of us feels completely ready. And that lived experience is what changes our relationship with money. As you listen, I invite you to get curious: What job have you given your Inner Accountant?Is she only allowed to help you avoid disaster—or can she help you imagine what it might take for your Life to Flourish?Where might you be waiting to feel completely healed before you let yourself do something differently?And what would it look like to start right now? *** More Ways We Can Walk Together This Season: One-On-One GuidanceWild Wellness Women’s CircleInstagramFacebookFree ResourcesFree Curiosity Call

In this episode, we explore what happens when we confuse self-denial with generosity—and why rejecting the values of capitalism doesn't require us to reject Money, commerce, receiving, or exchange. Because as I told Kiki: “You're not solving capitalism by you not getting paid.” We’ll explore: why women in particular can attach virtue to self-sacrifice, especially around nurturing, mothering, spiritual, healing, creative, and caring work the differences between capitalism, coercion, and commerce why the answer to an extractive system isn't self-extraction why a one-way flow eventually starts to feel gross why spending Money can actually feel really good when we're moving our resources—and our hearts—toward what we value what changes when we recognize receiving as an essential part of reciprocity the ways we might refuse to receive resources other than Money, including Time, Care, Attention, Help, Rest, and generosity whether we've unconsciously made our inability to receive into evidence of our own Goodness Sacred Reciprocity isn't only about Money. It's about our willingness to participate in the flow. Some of us have become very, very comfortable standing on only one side of that flow—the giving side—while refusing to receive. I'm not asking you to become less generous. I'm inviting you to get curious: Where have you confused self-denial with generosity? What might Sacred Reciprocity look like instead? *** More Ways We Can Walk Together This Season: One-On-One Guidance Wild Wellness Women's Circle Instagram Facebook Free Resources Free Curiosity Call

The entire experience is asynchronous in Voxer. There are no live calls, you only need about 15 minutes a week to participate, and you don’t even have to read the book. *** If Money could talk to you, what do you think it would say? Would it sound disappointed? Judgmental? Demanding? Or would it sound suspiciously like your parents, your church, or Dave Ramsey? In this episode, I’m continuing our exploration of the Money Stories we inherit and asking a different question: If the voice we’ve assigned to Money was actually learned, what happens when we actually let Money Itself speak? Inspired by Lynne Twist’s book The Soul of Money and her description of Money as “God-in-action,” I explore what it means for me to understand Money instead as Love-in-action—one of the ways we move our resources toward the people, places, work, experiences, Beauty, justice, and healing that our hearts value. We’ll explore: Money as a mirror—and also a map the history and meaning of the phrase Bread and Roses why Sufficiency is actually something inside of us, not outside of us what changes when we expand our resourcing beyond just our individual income what Nature can teach us about our need for both sustenance AND Beauty the “made-up game” of Money and the difference between questioning its rules and pretending its consequences aren’t real what it might sound like for Love to tell us the Truth about our Money without using shame I also share a Love Letter one of my clients, Kristin, wrote to herself from Money after a week of exploring her relationship with debt, freedom, minimalism, Beauty, pleasure, and her desire for both Bread AND Roses. Her letter contains one of my favorite expressions of Sufficiency: “We can work with that!” Here is what I have. Here is what WE have. Here is what is HERE. Now what can Love create with it? *** More Ways We Can Walk Together This Season: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠One-On-One Guidance⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Wild Wellness Women's Circle⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Free Resources⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Free Curiosity Call⁠⁠

You do NOT have to read to participate. No live calls, no homework, and no falling behind. *** What did you believe about money before you realized you had other options? In this episode, I’m sharing my own Money Story—and some of the experiences that shaped it long before I realized I was creating one. My dad’s gambling addiction and my parents’ divorce took my family from upper middle class to below the poverty line when I was around 12–13 years old. At the same time, I was growing up in a conservative, fundamentalist, high-control church where I absorbed complicated messages about money and faith. Somewhere along the way, those stories became tangled together. I came to believe that having money was the opposite of having faith—and that maybe God didn’t give me money because He knew I couldn’t be trusted with it. Nobody ever explicitly taught me that. But that’s the thing about our Money Stories: we don’t only inherit what people tell us. We make meaning from what happens to us. In this episode, we explore: • How childhood, family, religion, culture, and painful experiences shape our relationship with money• The difference between blame and recognizing how we co-created our own stories• Why a Money Story doesn't feel like a story and simply feels like reality• Becoming curious about our beliefs instead of immediately trying to “fix” them• Why I no longer believe healing means arriving at a final, perfected relationship with money• My movement from Scarcity → Abundance → Sufficiency• What the book The Soul of Money helped me understand about money as God in action• Jesus’ teaching, “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also”—and what might happen when we intentionally move our treasure• What it might mean to create a more shame-free, Natural relationship with Money More Ways We Can Walk Together This Season: ⁠⁠⁠⁠One-On-One Guidance⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Wild Wellness Women's Circle⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Free Resources⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Free Curiosity Call⁠

What is enough? Enough money. Enough food. Enough time. Enough work and rest. Enough security for the future—and enough pleasure in the now. We talk a lot about scarcity and abundance, but in this episode, I’m exploring a third possibility: Sufficiency. Not “technically enough to survive.” Not settling or convincing ourselves we shouldn’t want more. But enough to flourish in this Season of our Lives. As we move toward Autumn and Harvest Season, I’m looking to Nature and our ancestors for a different way of relating to resources. The Harvest wasn’t the same every year. Nature didn’t demand maximum output in every Season. There were times to receive, produce, gather, distribute, release—and rest. What might happen if we let Nature teach us something about our relationship with money, too? I’m also sharing about one of the most transformative books I’ve ever read, Lynne Twist’s The Soul of Money, and inviting you into my new fully asynchronous Voice-Note Book Club: The Soul of Money, happening September 16–October 23. And no—you don’t even have to read the book. ❤️ Each week, I’ll share one of my favorite excerpts in a private Voxer group, along with a voice-note and questions to explore together. You can participate for as little as 15 minutes a week, share deeply, quietly listen, journal on your own, read the entire book, or never open it. You cannot get behind. Everything is invitation, not obligation. Because I don’t want to invite you into a conversation about Sufficiency while creating another place in your Life where you feel like you’re not doing enough. Registration is $222, with an interest-free four-month payment option, and you’ll receive immediate lifetime access to additional resources, including my Healing Your Money Story self-reflection inventory. We begin September 16. Join us here:https://jess-reid.cohere.live/money And until then, carry this question with you: What would “enough” actually feel like in your Life right now? Not the smallest amount you could survive on. Not the largest amount you can imagine receiving. Enough. For this Season.
