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 23: Empathy vs. Anxiety
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode we talk, very carefully, about considering the idea that some of the anxiety that we experience as a collective and individually may actually be a sign that you are empathically absorbing the emotions and energies of those around you. It is so difficult to speak to mental health and mental illness in a nuanced way, so the disclaimer here is that the topic of this episode does not in any way undermine your experiences with anxiety, depression, or mental health in general.
In this episode I share my own experiences with mental health and making the connections between the times that I am truly feeling anxiety and the times that I am actually picking up on the emotions and energies of others. We are all connected, all of us, and we are constantly transmitting non-verbal communication back and forth so this episode is inviting you into a deeper level of self-awareness so as to understand what exactly you are feeling within.
As always, I love connecting with you so please feel free to drop me a dm on IG or FB (@the.holistic.hippie) to share your insights, your experiences, and get the lines of communication open as we cultivate these beautiful connections.
