Do you feel constantly overwhelmed by noise, notifications, and never-ending to-do lists? You're not alone in this overstimulated world.

Ever notice how a peanut butter smudge on the table or that plant you've been meaning to hang for weeks becomes all you can see? Our modern environment bombards us with stimuli that make it nearly impossible to enjoy the present moment. We're scrolling, consuming, and rushing through life without pausing to breathe.

The solution doesn't require hours of elaborate self-care. Even five minutes in your favourite spot with a hot cup of coffee can completely shift your day's trajectory. Having a designated space—whether it's a corner of your couch or a specific chair—creates a sanctuary where you can reconnect with yourself amidst the chaos.

What if you chose to be the "weird" person who's actually happy in a world that normalizes stress? What if, for just fifteen minutes a day, you decided to raise your vibration and be a light in this chaotic world?

Connect with me and share how you're finding peace in the noise. Your small, consistent actions today will create a dramatically different life in a year—one peaceful moment at a time.

The world feels chaotic and overwhelming, leaving many of us constantly seeking external validation and guidance. We scroll through social media looking for answers, ask mentors what to do next, and let influencers dictate our choices—gradually disconnecting from the most important voice of all: our own.

In this thoughtful exploration of self-trust, we examine how life transitions naturally shake our identity, creating the perfect opportunity to rediscover who we truly are. Whether you're navigating motherhood, changing careers, or simply feeling lost in the noise of modern life, the path back to yourself begins with small, intentional moments of reconnection.

Our addiction to screens has left us perpetually distracted, missing precious moments with loved ones and ourselves. We've forgotten how to sit with our thoughts, how to be bored, how to trust our intuition. Yet these seemingly mundane capabilities are the foundation of confidence and clarity.

You don't need hours of meditation or dramatic life changes to begin rebuilding your relationship with yourself. Simple practices like implementing "one screen at a time" or ensuring "sunlight before blue light" can gradually strengthen your self-trust muscles. The key is consistency, grace, and recognizing that breaking years of conditioning takes time.

This episode offers a gentle reminder that in a world profiting from your self-doubt, choosing to trust yourself is a radical act. Your intuition has been speaking all along—it's time to start listening.

UNLEASH YOUR CONFIDENCE with Confidently You.

The world feels chaotic lately—there's a buzzing energy that's both exhilarating and exhausting. As summer unfolds with packed calendars and endless activities, many of us find ourselves yearning for space while simultaneously craving connection. This tension reveals a profound truth about human existence: we need our village.

The concept of "it takes a village" extends far beyond raising children. At its core, this phrase speaks to our fundamental human need for community in all aspects of our lives. Whether you're an introvert who cherishes alone time (like myself) or someone who thrives in social settings, having people around you who support, challenge, and understand you is essential for wellbeing.

We've been conditioned to celebrate independence and self-sufficiency, but this mindset can lead to harmful isolation. Your village might look different than traditional communities—it could include close friends you can call at any hour, family members who provide unconditional support, online communities that share your interests, or even spiritual connections that guide your path. The composition of your village is uniquely yours, designed to support your specific needs and goals.

Ready to expand your village? Join the Selfish Sisterhood—a diverse community of women supporting each other's growth and authenticity. Connect with me on social media or email jess@jessclerke.com to learn how your Human Design influences the community you need.

Could trusting your gut save your life? For me, it literally did.

When my 4-month-old started fussing during a solo road trip, my intuition told me to pull over for a quick stop. Fifteen minutes later, we drove past a horrific accident that had just happened – one that closed the highway for five hours. Had we not made that unplanned stop, the timing would have put us right at that spot when disaster struck.

This experience sparked a deep dive into how intuition works differently for each of us. Through human design, we learn there are seven distinct decision-making authorities – emotional, sacral, splenic, ego, self-projected, mental, and lunar – each guiding us in unique ways. Some feel answers in their gut, others hear whispers that speak only once, while some need to talk things out or wait for emotional clarity.

The challenge isn't just recognizing these signals but trusting them in a world that values logic over intuition. My splenic authority comes as a whisper that speaks once and disappears – something that made me feel crazy until I learned to trust it. From small decisions like starting this podcast to life-saving moments on the highway, these intuitive hits have never steered me wrong.

What is your intuition trying to tell you today? Maybe it's time to start listening.

Nobody tells you that transformation can happen in the blink of an eye. One year, I was walking away from network marketing into uncertainty; the next, I was speaking on stages and hosting my first retreat. Now, I've just completed my fifth Self(ish) Retreat—my first as a new mom—at the stunning Oceanstone Resort in Nova Scotia.

The journey to this retreat was filled with doubt. Could I really pull this off with a four-month-old? Would women get the experience they deserved if I wasn't cooking every meal and planning every minute like I used to? What I discovered exceeded all expectations. With oceanfront views, spa facilities, and catered meals, I could finally be fully present instead of scattered and stressed. We painted with ocean water, explored human design, and created space for both transformation and rest.

During our final breathwork session, something unexpected happened. When asked to visualize the future, instead of seeing bigger stages or business growth as I always had, I pictured myself and my husband, gray-haired, watching our son graduate. It was the first time my vision centered on family instead of business—a profound shift that left me emotional and reflective.

What made this retreat possible was community—the participants who loved on my baby, my husband who supported my dreams, and everyone who helped behind the scenes. This isn't the Jessica show; it's collaboration at its finest.

Have you ever looked back at a version of yourself from five years ago and barely recognized that person? Welcome to the beautiful evolution of becoming.

When I placed the word "experiment" on my vision board before entering motherhood, I had no idea how powerfully it would reshape my approach to life. Rather than clinging to rigid expectations or perfect outcomes, I've discovered the freedom that comes from approaching each day with curiosity, openness, and a willingness to gather data, adjust approaches, and continuously adapt.

Join me for this heartfelt exploration of living experimentally. Your future self will thank you for approaching this chapter not just with survival in mind, but with curiosity, courage, and a playfulness that transforms even the most challenging seasons into adventures worth having.
