We talked about something nobody in the church is talking about Why your trauma is showing up in your bank account. And the room got quiet in all the right places. Here is the tool we practiced tonight. Use it every single day this week. 👇 The Money Body Scan The next time you are about to open your banking app, send an invoice, or have a money conversation, do this FIRST. Step 1 — Bring to mind the financial situation sitting heavy on you. Don’t analyze it. Just let it come. Step 2 — Scan your body. Where do you feel it? Chest? Stomach? Throat? Just find it. Don’t fix it. Step 3 — Put one hand on that place and say out loud: “I feel this. I am not going to run from it.” “This feeling has a history. It is not the truth about my future.” “I am safe enough to feel this and not be destroyed by it.” Step 4 — One slow breath. In for 4 counts. Hold for 2. Out for 8. Twice. Do this for Three minutes. Every day. This week. Drop a ❤️ below if you are committing to this practice. And share this with the woman who feels it in her body every time money comes up. She needs this. 🤍 Remember, you’re not alone… Love U~~Dr. Jess​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ P.S: Look out for our calandra! It would be posted soon.

Sis, I need you on this call tonight. We are talking about something that every woman in this community has felt but nobody has ever named out loud. Why you keep sabotaging your own breakthrough. Not because you are weak. Not because you don't have enough faith. Not because you don't want it bad enough. Because your nervous system learned something early and tonight we are going to name it, face it, and begin to heal it. Together. Here is what we are doing tonight: → Opening prayer → The Word, Romans 7 and Isaiah 43 → A breakout session to go deep with your sisters → A practical tool you can use IMMEDIATELY → A challenge to carry into your week Tonight · 8pm EST Zoom link below 👇 Join Zoom Meeting https://us06web.zoom.us/j/81602160228?pwd=tROwRripx0asJZRs8YSnRsvc7RIDfA.1 Meeting ID: 816 0216 0228 Passcode: 932475 If you have ever gotten close to your breakthrough and watched yourself pull back, this call was built for you. See you tonight. 🤍 Dr. Jess

The nervous system does not respond to what you know. It responds to what it has experienced. That is why understanding your trauma history, however clearly, does not automatically heal the way your body responds, to your husband's touch, his voice, his presence. Knowledge reaches the mind. Healing reaches the body. Both matter. Both are part of the work. And we are building both, together. That is what this community is for. You do not have to figure out the body part alone. Dr. Jess, MHC P.S. Remember, we are meeting tomorrow at 8:00pm (EST) I will post zoom link tomorrow as well. Can’t wait to see you 🥰

Today's practice. 🙏 It is called The Body Check-In. It comes from the S.A.F.E. Reset Framework, the “A”: Anchored Emotional Tools. Before you go into anything hard today, a difficult conversation, a quiet moment with your husband, or just the next hour of your day, try this: STEP 1: Feel your feet on the floor. Press them down gently. Actually feel the ground beneath you. Say out loud: 'I am here. Right now.' STEP 2: One slow breath. Breathe in for 4 counts. Hold for 2. Breathe out for 8. The long exhale activates your vagus nerve. This is not spiritual metaphor. This is neuroscience. STEP 3: One hand on your chest. Feel your own heartbeat. Say: 'I am safe in this moment. This moment is mine.' That is it. Thirty seconds. Try it today and tell me one word for what you felt afterward. I will be here reading every single one. ↓

Welcome to a new week. This week we are focusing on one of the most misunderstood pieces of healing: What it actually feels like to stay present. Not performing presence. Not enduring presence. Actually inhabiting your own life in real time. This week's practice is the Body Check-In, three steps, thirty seconds. I'll share it tomorrow. For today, just notice. When do you feel most present? And when do you feel yourself starting to leave? Drop it below. You don't have to have the answer figured out. Just name what you notice. SAVE THE DATE: This Friday at 8pm EST We are meeting LIVE as a community. We will be talking, sharing and going deeper into everything we cover this week. Mark your calendar right now. I want to see every one of you there. Always remember that I am here. We are all here. Let's do this week together. Dr. Jess
