Consciously Unbecoming

Hi there! It's about that time....time we all take stock of the BS beliefs we must un-become or un-learn. Ya know, the beliefs that society, our families, our ancestors, our governments, our cultures, our religions, our traumas, our life experiences have told us, hell, even force fed us to be. No one even bothered to ask our opinions on the matter, either. WTF? In doing so, we can decide which beliefs serve us, which we need to kick to the curb, and which ones we need to relearn through a lens of OUR choosing. Join as award-winning Coach, Speaker, Healer, mama of 2, and self-proclaimed Scrabble genius, Jess Kiely-Vogelpohl, dive into the topics we all want to know more about - spirituality, belief systems, mental health, parenthood, sexuality, psychology, trauma, Shamanism and about 74320430 other topics. There's sure to be a lot of tats, cuss words, spirituality, psychology, laughing, and real REALLLLLLLL talk. Like, really REAL. Ya dig? Join us, we'd love to hang with you - if only in your ears for a pre-determined set of time. :) Ps: You already have all of the answers to heal and become your best self, lurking within you, let us awaken that with you! K, bye for real now.

Hi there,

Have you ever stopped to think of all your body has done for you as you curse it, loathe it, and wish it were different?

For years, I was always trying to be different! Thinner, stronger, prettier.

Insert a slew of other adjectives; words I thought I HAD to be. Words that I thought defined who I was or determined my worth!

I thought to myself that I would be happier when I became a certain size or weight...or so I thought!

But, in reality, I’d hit that goal and would feel no different.

I didn’t suddenly love the person staring back at me. All I could see was cellulite, thighs that were too big, pudge on my belly, non-toned arms, stretch marks, a size much different than my friends or what I saw in magazines.

Enter the guilt and shame of never feeling enough! Never quite loving myself for the exact skin I was in, during that moment, during that season.

It wasn’t until losing both parents and giving life to my children, did I realize exactly who I was and how powerful my body and my mind were.

It wasn’t until then did I realize the value of health over vanity.

So, let's unbecome the BS belief that we must look a certain way in order to feel worthy of love. Because, just by being born, exactly who are you - RIGHT NOW, scars and all, you are worthy of the greatest love known to the universe. It's time we believe that.

With so much freaking love,
JV
