Fully Nourished®

Nourishment goes so much deeper than just the food we eat. I’ve talked in my other episodes about how we can nourish ourselves on a deeper level to really step into our feminine radiance, and one of those ways that we haven’t explored is spiritual nourishment. Everyone will have a different experience on their journey for truth, but I wanted to share some of what I experienced when I decided to st...

Today’s episode is so interesting and so insightful with my guest, Libby Wescombe! Libby was born into and raised in a cult in Thailand. Around puberty, she began to ask questions and see that the teachings in the cult weren’t quite aligned with what she felt was true in the real world.  At 21 she made the decision to leave and move to Australia. With very little tools for success in the real worl...

Detoxing has become such a marketing fad that I think we have lost the meaning and importance of the word and what it actually means for our bodies. In truth, the true ways to detox don’t revolve around a certain supplement or tea or product. Detox begins within.  There are three main things you can be doing to support your body’s systems for detoxification and that is general nourishment with nut...

Skincare is such an exhausting journey for women all over the world, and we are often left sifting through tons of products and wasted money only to find that nothing is really working for our skin.  So what gives? In this episode, I’m speaking with Sara Sumic, molecular biologist, skincare specialist, and former acne sufferer, about why so many women are struggling to find the skincare routine th...

My hair care journey has been exactly that, a journey. I’ve made so many mistakes when it comes to my hair, but I’ve finally found the right path to see growth and beauty both within my hair and myself. If you’re ready to start using your hair care routine as a way to give yourself space to breathe life and joy back into your body, then listen in! So often when we talk about our hair, we’re talkin...

There has been a long developed stigma surrounding herbs and their uses in our lives. Common marketing surrounding herbal remedies is often stamped with confusing labels like, “Not FDA approved” and “If pregnant or breastfeeding, consult a physician.” What society has forgotten is that these herbs are the plants that our creator gave to us on this planet. They all have a purpose in our lives, from...

Media has always had the power to shape our outlook on life and even how we choose to behave. I recently rewatched Sex in the City and identified how it so wrongfully shaped the definition of femininity in the late '90s and early ‘00s, by portraying empowered women operating under the guise of masculine energy. Along with this, which arguably gave an extra boost to the feminist movement, we h...

Today’s episode is jam packed with meaningful conversation surrounding the controversial topic of what it truly means to be a woman. It is no secret that society is desperately trying to erase what makes women different and unique, and my guest - Isabella Malbin - joins me in this episode to discuss all that is being stolen from us under the guise of transhumanism. The definition of a woman comes...

It’s finally here! I hope you are ready to peel back the layers of intermittent fasting and the misconceptions about it that have been plaguing female physiology and tricking us into starving ourselves. Buckle up because here we go!  When we consider intermittent fasting, we see big forces at play in our metabolism. The truth is that women (or anyone, really) were not built to fast as a normal pra...

I am so excited to share this episode with you! There are so many fad diets and health myths present in the health and wellness space. In my chat with Kaya today, we are going to go through many of the top health and wellness trends and discuss not just why they are not helpful to female physiology but how they are actually damaging our cells and our bodies.  After struggling for most of her life...

I’m excited to dive into the insights and feedback of my podcast audience today! I love the collaborative community that this podcast nurtures, and thank you to all of my listeners who submit write-ins for feedback and questions to dive deeper into discovering your feminine radiance. One of the topics that came through that piqued my interest and that I thought warranted some discussion was fastin...

When we explore female physiology and feminine energy, we are always confronted with how stress plays a role in both of these complex systems. We are often told that we must reduce our stress, but there may be more to it than that.  Today, I speak with Jenna Hamm, an integrative trauma therapist who is doing amazing work through Polyvagal Theory, Internal Family Systems, and Nervous System Regulat...

As we constantly strive to find a state of regulation and resonance with our feminine energy, we are often presented with new information that may differ from what we have come to understand. In many circles, this new information could completely destroy the framework we have built, but in this episode, I’m here to encourage you that we can add layers of new information to our current knowledge wi...

I speak with Belinda Marie in this episode, and we discuss the roots of feminine energy and what it looks like in different situations and in different people. She has so much profound insight to share on the topic of Feminine energy.  A big part of feminine healing and soft living is having the courage to shift in the face of misalignment. Feminine energy is based on the texture behind what we ar...

Welcome to the kickoff episode for Season Two of The Fully Nourished Podcast! There is so much that this season has in store and I’m excited to share it with you. This week we are prefacing season two with an episode that touches back on feminine energy, frames the female collective, and dives into some of the shifts we might be noticing. The health space has transitioned a lot in the last few yea...

Season One was a deep dive into Female Physiology and its connection with Feminine Energy. I am excited to continue our work in peeling back the layers to find the way back to ourselves in Season Two of the Fully Nourished Podcast. We will continue to honor our hunger for more and nourish our bodies, minds, and spirits to become fully nourished.  Connect: Follow me @jessicaashwellness on Instagram...

Last week I shared about my spiritual journey and when we left off, I was entrenched in my bitterness and overwhelming disappointment with the church. I had lost all trust in myself as well as in this institution that had been a huge part of my life. Which leads me to this week and the resources I’d promised to provide for how I dug myself out of that place. First of all, it took a while, but as m...

I’m going to shoot it to you straight. I struggled with what I wanted to say for the next couple of episodes. I had this vague idea of a topic and it just felt wrong. So instead of going with it, I went with my gut and posted one of those “True or False” posts on Instagram.  One of you wrote, “True or False: You used to be a Christian and now your beliefs are more New Age” and I think so many peop...

The results are in from the poll on social media! I asked, and you answered, and I'm diving in today to talk about social media and how it shapes the way we view our health.  It will come as no surprise based on our discussions about social media in episodes past, but there is an overwhelming majority of women who feel that they are the farthest they have ever been from their health, even ami...

As we near the end of the season, I wanted to touch on the importance of macro minerals in our bodies and what can happen when they fall out of balance. Minerals are key to our cellular functions and are tightly woven into our hormones for regulation. The combination of water, minerals, hormones, and cofactors all work together seamlessly and require a delicate balance to function appropriately. S...

We talked last time about balancing our blood sugar, what an important role it plays in the nourishment of our bodies, and the impact it has on how we manage our stress. Glucose is key to the body’s function, and we need carbohydrates for our cells to function appropriately to allow us to go deeper in our journey to healing. Nourishment is an initiation. It is just the beginning of the healing tha...

With the rise in diet fads such as fasting and ketogenic diets, it is crucial to understand the role that glucose plays in our bodies and how nourishing our cells at a metabolic level is the key to moving away from stress and burnout. Balancing your blood sugar appropriately on a cellular level is different from how social media trends tell you to manage your blood sugar. They almost want you to t...

We’re back for Part 2 of our discussion on Beautiful vs The Beauty Standard, and today, we’re talking about Vanity vs Wisdom and how the beauty standard has upended our values as a society.  In many of my episodes, I talk about social media and the damage it has on us as women for many reasons, and the standard of beauty is absolutely one of them. The culture of vanity that we see from influencers...

The pressure to be beautiful has been a battle that women have been fighting for the last century. Beauty standards have shifted in so many different ways over the last several decades, and women have always been searching for ways to fit the standard that society has created for them to be identified as “beautiful.” Tune in today to dive deeper into what true beauty is and how it contrasts with t...

 We’re back for part two of our discussion about feminine libido! In our last episode, we touched on many of the spiritual factors that need to be taken into account when we’re looking at our libido. If we are not in a state of feminine energy, we will struggle with our libidos. This is a constant struggle with the pressures that have been pushed on us by society over the past several decades.  In...
