The Holistic Hippie Podcast
Welcome to The Holistic Hippie Podcast — a space for honest conversations about awakening, healing, and becoming fully human in a rapidly changing world.
Hosted by Jessi — holistic nutritionist, yoga teacher and teacher trainer, Reiki practitioner, past-life regressionist, and lifelong student of consciousness — this podcast explores the intersection of spirituality, philosophy, and personal transformation. Blending ancient yogic wisdom with modern self-development, each episode invites listeners into deeper self-inquiry, meaningful growth, and embodied living.
This is not a surface-level wellness show. Here, spirituality meets real life. Expect conversations on consciousness, shadow work, purpose, healing, relationships, nervous system regulation, intuitive development, and the courage it takes to evolve. Jessi shares openly from her own lived experiences — including her journey through physical and mental health challenges — offering grounded insight, practical tools, and compassionate encouragement along the way.
Rooted in yoga philosophy and holistic wellness principles, the podcast is equal parts motivational, reflective, and soul-expanding. Whether through solo reflections, teachings, or deep conversations, each episode is an invitation to slow down, question conditioning, reconnect with your inner wisdom, and participate in conscious growth alongside a like-hearted community.
If you’re ready to move beyond survival, reclaim responsibility for your physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing, and explore what it truly means to live with presence and purpose — you’re in the right place.

Episode 24 - Shifting Perspective on Beauty & Fitness
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode I speak about a recent change in perspective that I've had around beauty and fitness. I ditched make-up years ago in pursuit of inner self love vs. drawing my sense of self worth from what I looked like. It seemed a natural next step on my yogic journey, and really fits in to the philosophy 'pratyahara' which is the withdrawal of the senses. This is a process of withdrawing from that which is external in order to surrender into the deeper, more introspective practices of yoga. I didn't realize it until recently, that in my withdrawal from my physical appearance I have, in some ways, withdrawn from forms of self-care.
This episode is a shorter realization that I've had as I've reframed my relationship with health & fitness, and my coming full circle as a new version of self who is able to revisit these things again without getting lost in them like I have in the past, or drawing too much self worth from them. There are so many influencing factors to how we think & feel about ourselves and our sense of self worth that it can be important to withdraw for a period to shift our mindset so that we can learn to truly love & accept ourselves fully and wholly as we are.
As always, I love connecting with you friends! Thanks so much for listening, for reaching out over ig & fb (@the.holistic.hippie) and for sharing your stories and realizations with me.
